This is fascism, exactly how Nazis recruited. They started with popular anxieties and then offered a seductive narrative based on lies: all your problems have one cause and we have one final solution.

@continuation Things are even worse than you descibe them. Half of your electorate *voted* for ultranationalist authoritarians three elections in a row.
@continuation
Remember, your homeland's heritage is genocide and theft.
@continuation The only shocking thing to me here is that they actually credited the artist who painted this. Oh, and that this wasn't generated by CockAI.
@continuation This, but for blacktranswomen.
@continuation blood & soil was basically MAGA
@continuation
I'll just leave this here for no reason whatsoever
@continuation
this might be good for this context.

NOT IN MY NAME
NOT IN MY NAME
I'm white. The overwhelming majority of my ancestors are white. Several of them homesteaded in Kansas in 1887. One of them, my grandmother, made a quilt just like that one in the painting; which I slept under throughout my childhood.
I am who is depicted here, but not who is represented. My father fought the Nazis. My mother visited post-WWII Germany to help repair their carnage. No one in this white family has any time or sympathy for fascism.
Maybe I can stop some of this administration's cruel and, frankly, anti-American policies and actions; maybe I can't. But I can tell the world that this white American wants none of it.
@continuation The painter left out all the big piles of slaughtered Native Americans
*you know, the people with the right to call this their Homeland
@continuation
Ultranationalist authoritarians in a land built by immigrants. The irony of it is deafening…
@continuation Right. Because white people are definitely from around here originally. 🙄
@continuation
bizarrely and with a motive that can almost singularly be assessed as #accelerationism.
the sub-textual motive of the entire Project 2025, imho, has been the baiting of a civil conflict where a victimised white minority can plausibly take control.
#whitenationalism
@continuation gimme dysentry, please!
@continuation yes, this isn’t weimar america anymore, it’s the 4th reich
@continuation
Ah, yes, remember your heritage of being immigrants on land stolen from indigenous people who you effectively tried to exterminate.
@continuation They think people don't remember... This is all been done before. The Germans weren't trying to do it on stolen land though.
@mousey @continuation
Are we seeing the pattern? Are we seeing this is a global campaign, yes? Everyone? Are we getting it now? Are we seeing how neoliberalism failed to resist this at all over the last 50 years?
Can we finally admit now that "less evil" isn't cutting it?
@continuation what in white people hell is this??? 🤮🤮🤮
"Yea we hate immigrants, but we love settlers...who are definitely not immigrants...and whose 'homeland' is definitely the place they were settling and not where they were coming from." 😵💫😡😫
@continuation
So…now they’re endorsing birthright citizenship? /s
@continuation Wait, is Homeland Security telling white folks to go back where they came from?
they’re even using that Watchtower/Atalaya illustration aesthetic where everybody looks white, even the Black people.
The phrase "Remember your Homeland's Heritage" is textbook ethnonationalist language. 'Homeland' is meant to evoke 'blood and soil' ideology and "Heritage" is telling us that ONLY white Americans have any claim on American identity and history.
The US government is explicitly promoting white settler mythology as the nation's defining 'heritage.' This romanticized pioneer imagery serves a specific ideological function. To establish white Europeans as the only true Americans.
This propaganda isn't only about nostalgia. It's state-sponsored creation of myths specifically designed to legitimize ethnic cleansing. It's both the creation of a non-white 'enemy' and a reference to past genocidal dispossession of colonialism as a justification to do it AGAIN.
This propaganda is an ideological foundation for determining who belongs in America and who doesn't. The timing is intentional, it's meant to provide justification and support from the highest levels of government for eliminationist rhetoric.
So what should people do? The answer is a question: What would you do if you were in Germany in 1933? Knowing what you know about everything that happened, what would you have done? Do that, whatever it is. We have moved past "it can happen here". It is happening here, right now.
Take the hint, they're telling us what they're doing.
This ethnostate propaganda is central to the ultranationalist authoritarian US government's agenda to eliminate women's rights, queer rights, migrant rights, and to conduct ethnic cleansing, a "remigration" campaign that is funded, deployed, and ongoing.
