The claim is predicated on the mutual understanding that being a white nationalist is bad. If you lack that mutual understanding, there are bigger problems at hand!

There is no way to be reactionary without being a white nationalist and the two are interchangeable but you chose one instead of the other for some reason?
Whoah there:

Reactionary != White Nationalist

Sure. You can substitute “white nationalist” for “any kind of reactionary, including white nationalist” in my previous comment, if you find that more palatable.
" opposed to political or social change

* a reactionary government * reactionary politics"

That's about half of the people in most countries, so your argument just ends up as a sort of statement of your political beliefs.

There are more pejorative uses of the term; I guess we just end up in a semantic debate.

> Reactionary != White Nationalist

There are certainly places in the world where there are significant local reactionary ideologies that are not White Nationalist, but the US is not among them.
