2. It's acceptable to engage in extremism, whitewashing of historic crimes, romantic nationalism, etc., if someone from the Anglosphere or maybe the Jewish world legitimizes it first. For example, the conventional non-Marxist explanation of WW1 is, the Kaiser and his inner circle made a decision to go to war as soon as there was pretext. A German could not write a book like The Sleepwalkers saying it was just a failure of diplomacy. But once an Australian did, the book became popular here.
