As of the twenty-first century, Pan-Gothism is a largely discredited ideology in Hendalarsk. "Traditional" Pan-Gothism is closely bound up in popular consciousness with the State of Hendalarsk and therefore reviled. The idea has even lost favour among the Hendalarskara far-right, itself a largely splintered and incoherent milieu. Many far-right groups (e.g. the "Rassenkrieg" hooligan collective) view the other Gothic nations as so hopelessly 'polluted' by Latin and Levantine Catholic influence as to be essentially lost, while a more esoteric minority inspired by the blogger "Tír Éwig" argues that it is actually the ''Hendalarskaren themselves'' who are polluted beyond hope of salvation. Contrary to the general emphasis of the far-right on reproduction, this minority instead favours a "voluntary self-extinction" of all Hendalarskaren, with the newly vacant land to be colonised by other, worthier Gothic nations. | As of the twenty-first century, Pan-Gothism is a largely discredited ideology in Hendalarsk.

Left-wing Pan-Gothism has also endured a stark decline in popularity in recent decades.

Among the most common arguments against left pan-Gothism is that the position of minorities such as the Khunyer and Nünsyak would inevitably deteriorate in a new super-state which would necessarily be founded on Gothic cultural dominance, a situation which would only be exacerbated by the increased ''demographic'' dominance of Goths relative to non-Goths in the new state. Still others argue that, as Hendalarsk is the only Gothic state which is both democratic and left-wing, any plausible Gothic union short of total regional anti-capitalist revolution would involve a dissolution of many of Hendalarsk's most positive ideological qualities.<ref>This argument has found an unlikely ally in the form of the [[Pentapolis]], whose bargaining position would plainly be dramatically weakened in any larger Gothic state, let alone a socialist one.</ref> The "Gótansche Einischkeid" campaign within the [[Hendalarskara Social Front]] continues to agitate for a pan-Gothic union on left-wing principles, but it is very much a minority within the wider party; in the twenty-first century, most left-wing groups in Hendalarsk tend to focus on celebrating the country's patchwork culture rather than insisting on its homogeneity and innate compatibility with its neighbours. | ||
