lack of community

I used to watch CNN and was afflicted with a severe case of self-hatred for myself and my own race. I'm ready to move on from this, but so much of the media now reeks of hatred for europeans that I find myself unable to relate to people still bewtiched by the media. I've been inspired by my newfound heritage toward self-improvement such as bodybuilding and reading the works of my ancestors, but I sill feel as isolated and without a community as before.

Have you considered bonding over some shared experiences or a hobby rather than a racial group?

Feeling alone is a big contributor to radicalisation, so if it's possible to join a weight lifting team or some kind of club at the gym it would be a great start.

Of course there is nothing wrong with self improvement and learning about your ancestors and what they did and how they lived, and cnn or some dickhead on the internet cannot discredit them, but you should make sure not to let pride of your history define you as a person, otherwise you'll take criticism as an attack on yourself, and you will end up more radicalized as a result.
