The argument of the Trumpists (and the white Afrikaners) is: If a reactionary white person is asked to live in a society they don't get to dominate, if they are "forced" to accept a pluralizing public square and don't get to do as they please at all times, it's basically genocidal persecution. - ThreadSky

Within weeks of coming to power, the white nationalist regime flew in Afrikaners as refugees from what the regime's leader called an anti-white "genocide" - while at the same time shutting down asylum and escalating their purge of non-white people they declared "alien enemies."

Not very subtle.

And that just perfectly captures the escalating siege mentality and reactionary grievance that defines and fuels MAGA. This is what drives the Right's anti-democratic radicalization - and I really don't know how they could possibly be clearer about what their political project is.

If I can’t dominate I’m going to bring it crashing down around all of us, yup

Reminds me of one of the American founding myths I learned in elementary school. The one about how the Pilgrims came to New England because they weren’t allowed to practice their religion (ie, they weren’t allowed to force their neighbors to convert.)

Someone pointed out the colors of the tie worn by Landau(USG greeter). Same as “Apartheid” flag.

I guess the muskrat can't impregnate enough women on his own so we are importing them now. White supremacy must be maintained. Fuck every single racist magat.

Real refugees have been working & paying taxes are deported to hell.

Fuck the nazis in the country that used to be america.

"Mr. President - about 1000 Afrikaners have been killed in the last 33 years, and over 20000 Palenstinian civilians have been killed in the last year and a half. If you are saying 1000 deaths is white genocide, will you concede the Gazan genocide happening in Palestine?" Not fucking hard, media.

Understand that these Whites from South Africa are REINFORCEMENTS for Trump's and Musk's White supremacist ideology.

It's happening again: State sanctioned #neo-Nazi #Immigration. It's happened before in America.
And their spawn are alive and well.
They've only traded their hoods for ICE badges...

Are there any other so clear cut examples examples of racial persecution like in SA somewhere?

The idea that there is any ambiguity to be subjectively interpreted as anything but what it is, is framed for media to not offend the same white (in)sensibilities within the United States.
