Don't merge with 'triumphalism;' just retain the cross-reference.

As I pointed out over in the 'triumphalism' entry, they are truly two different types of things. 'Supremacism' is a term that is reserved for articulated, conscious doctrines. Supremacism also has an integral political nature, reflected in this entry's tight focus on the entitlement to certain rights as a defining feature of supremacist doctrines. Supremacism definitely belongs in the realm of political dogma or doctrine.

'Triumphalism,' on the other hand, is most frequently an unarticulated--even unconscious--assumption or attitude. It may be, but is not necessarily associated with any political course of action or goal. When we speak of triumphalism, we are discussing a sociological or psychological phenomenon.

In addition, 'Supremacist' is a badge of honor among true supremacists; they willingly describe themselves as supremacists. In contrast, 'triumphalism' is an observer's category. It is an adjective used by some to characterize the actions or attitudes of others--often meant to imply some measure dysfunctional delusion. No one labels him or herself a 'triumphalist;' no one explicitly advocates to increase triumphalism within his or her own group.

Crips and Bloods supremacist Groups?

Is it accurate to list the crips and Bloods aong the list of supremacist groups? to my knowledge the crips and blood are almost never refered to as a black suppemacist groups. Shouldn't then hispanic gangs be included in this list as well? or asian gangs? just because a certain race dominates a gang does not automatically make it a suppremacist group. If no further information can be provided i think they should be removed.

--The Crips is a street gang which originated in Los Angeles, California in the late 1960s. During the early 1970s, the gang grew and branched out to other parts of Los Angeles County. These new subsidiary or realigned existing gangs were known as sets, and they used the term Crips in their individual gang name.--

exert taken fron know-gangs.com there is no mention of the Crips being a suppremacist gang.

-The gang is largely composed of African Americans, but is multiracial in many cities (e.g. New York), where "satellite" Crip gangs are present. The gang has an intense rivalry with the Bloods. They are also known to feud with Chicano gangs.-

Taken form wikipedia article on crips. i gues the crips are a multiracial black supremacist group.

Phobias in See Also section?

Since a phobia is not necessarily a sign of supremacism, should phobia-related See Also links be in here?

I understand and empathize with the motivation behind this recent edit, but it probably does not quite fit the tone of Wikipedia’s mission statement, so I suggest some kind of dialogue with the author (and at least one other editor more experienced than I) to rephrase the text in a way that both the author and Wikipedia standards can agree upon.

Facts are okay by me. The Turkish purge targeted a religious supremacist ideology that infested and rendered its government dysfunctional and self destructive. The issue is covered right here on Wikipedia with no objections. Jesusmahdimessiahqin (talk) 14:14, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jesusmahdimessiahqin: You have to follow Wikipedia's policies. We do not add our own comments and we do not use other Wikipedia articles as sources. Anything you add in violation of those policies will be removed sooner or later, so you are wasting your time adding them. What you have to do is find a reliable published source and report what it says (not comment about what it says). Then there are issues of WP:WEIGHT to consider, since this is a general article about supremacism, not an editorial on modern examples you think are important.
