Doug, posting videos about movements in Europe that strongly oppose immigration, strongly promote child-bearing through government means, and openly profess a desire to govern under the banner of Christendom will get you labeled an alt-right white nationalist. Well, except form the alt-right folks who will label you a Boomer cuck. On a serious note, though, I don’t see Dr. Carlson’s view jiving very well with your libertarian globalist economics.
