Ok, but, take it a step further. The AI can be chauvanist too. Isn’t it strange to be more afraid of AI memeplexes about co-evolution and integration than about trying to bail out the ocean by censoring all memeplexes that don’t comport with human chauvanism? It’s one step from human chauvanism to AI chauvanism. They just are isomorphic. You can’t emote enough about the human special sauce to make this not true. And you can’t prevent an AI from noticing. This just seems like a really bad plan.
This is also just begging the question about the fitness justification of white nationalism. In an American context it’s pretty explicitly a coalitional strategy between different white races mostly adopted by the races who, under late 19th or early 20th century racial conceptions, would have been considered most marginally white. It is just as plausible the fitness function is in ensuring access to and protection from socially dominant white races for less socially dominant white races. You could even get into some Albion’s Seed style racist evopsych and make gestures at the ancestral need for such scheming in the historical borderer population under conditions of constant war between the English and Scottish.
