A call for “white solidarity” will usually fail, but for an odd reason, that it violates the unwritten “gentleman’s code”. This even predates Common Law, and is based in the ideas found among the Germanic tribes.

Unlike the ideas found within Roman Law, the law of the elites and the peasants (or hoi polloi, as the Greeks called them), the law of the Germanic tribes was singularly egalitarian. That is, all warriors are equal.

From them, we get things such as trial by a jury of peers, innocence before guilt, advocacy before an impartial judge, and that leaders are leaders only by the voluntary support of the warriors they lead.

This formed the basis of Common Law, and has been enriched several times in history, through the British empire and to America. Today, even statutory law pales before “gentleman’s code”, practiced by the honest and honorable citizenry.

And that is why there is no “white solidarity”. Because a gentleman of honor can be of any color, race, sex, age, etc. What distinguishes them is not who they are, but how they behave.

They are just as inclined to interfere in an unfair fight no matter who is being oppressed. They will go so far as to even risk their lives, based in the ethics of a gentleman.

But it is usually individual action, because if it ever becomes group action, it is vigilantism, which gets an unfair rap. Vigilantism is almost entirely non-violent. But when forced to be violent it is ferocious and unforgiving.

Exactly right. Western culture has always been individualistic rather than collectivist, which is why Communism has always been alien to the west and has always collapsed. The attitude is "me vs. my personal enemies" or "me and my family/personal friends vs. our personal enemies," not "my race/tribe vs. their race/tribe." In contrast, African and Middle Eastern cultures DO think in terms of race, tribe, or creed trumping all other loyalties and values.
