No #Racism in our great country.
The Fox News host who President-elect Donald Trump just announced would be his nominee for secretary of defense was not allowed to work security at President Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration, supposedly because of a tattoo that military higher-ups believed might have been an extremist symbol.

@nursefrombirth As a Christian I might have given him early tattoos but Deus Vult is white supremacist.
@nursefrombirth i.e. I wouldn't automatically make claims about cross tattoo or celtic tattoos because I know people that have them who do not support extremists. But Deus Vult is the white supremacists who hate muslims, jews, gays, poc.
@AnnetteTRemain School me! I don't know much about extremist symbols, seems I need to learn now. 🤔
@nursefrombirth Which part the Deus Vult or the celtic/nordic? Multiple articles can be found on deus vult. They were chanting it in Charlottesville. A lot of the white nationalist crusader stuff got popular with online gang forums where they infect our young. https://www.history.com/news/how-hate-groups-are-hijacking-medieval-symbols-while-ignoring-the-facts-behind-them
@AnnetteTRemain Good article. The Deus Vult is what I'm not familiar with.
@nursefrombirth Some of the trolls I messed with on X were Deus Vult. These guys are very nazi, i.e. they can hint Hitler wasn't wrong, but they are coy nazi types like Spencer. They nest most of it in western civilization romance where one can draw conclusion we are better without usually outright saying it. It's a way to get people to accept white nationalism without knowing they are. I don't know how many people know what actual nazi speech sounds like.
@nursefrombirth I will try to say this carefully to avoid someone taking it the wrong way. The "best" recruitors for nazis and klan do not "sound" nazi or klan. If one listens to many David Duke or Richard Spencer speeches or even early Hitler the focus is on romanticism of the past and how we can be so much better than what we are. It's a sirens song. If you are familiar with sirens they used to lure men to their deaths.
@AnnetteTRemain @nursefrombirth
Annette, I know exactly what you mean by this. I have heard that siren's song myself. They don't sound hateful at first and to the casual listener, they start out sounding rational.
(I'm half deaf and kind of weird, though.)
That's the scary thing about those songs, though.
They start out sounding harmless, and they come from the mouths of people who call themselves geniuses and protectors.
Next thing you know, there's a holocaust or lynching.
@janallmac Yes. I started listening to several when the alt right burst onto scene with Trump. Not out of love. Know your enemy. The propaganda people weren't what I quite expected. It's usually what they are NOT saying or the implications of what they've said so far that are the problem. Once you know what the speech sounds like you start noticing how many people parrot them. @nursefrombirth
@AnnetteTRemain @nursefrombirth
Yep, they start using catchphrases.
And, they start talking about Ayn Rand a lot and telling everyone else how great they themselves are. 🙄 They tend to be very, very proud, but not in a fun or harmless way, in a "look how much better I am than you are" way. And they think everyone else is stupid.
It's a whole vibe, you know? And for me, a huge red flag. 😟 Thank you for sharing the info!
@AnnetteTRemain @nursefrombirth
Oh, and you know what else they do? People who have become drunk on this siren's song? They start claiming expertise they don't have. Expertise you know for a rock-solid fact they don't have, often medical expertise or similar.
@janallmac @AnnetteTRemain So the sirens give them FAKE wisdom 🤔
@nursefrombirth the story starts beautiful and ends bad. But if they can get them to bite on the lure they can reel them in the rest of the way. Unfortunately the nazi stuff doesn't look or sound nazi in the beginning. If you start watching Richard Spencer videos in youtube you will get a feel for it. Not the heil hitler stuff but his university and other speeches. Or read Charles Lindbergh 1939 readers digest article. THAT is what they really sound like. @janallmac
@AnnetteTRemain @nursefrombirth @janallmac Really good informative thread on nazi grooming. ❤️🙏❤️I’ll add this prescient 2021 article too: “ “Even at the gates of Auschwitz, the sign at the entrance proclaimed Arbeit Macht Frei (work makes free). But it was all a subterfuge and the ultimate goal was death, either a quick one in the gas chambers for most or a slow agonizing one for some in the forced labor camps.” https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/revive-light-and-truth-eschew-night-and-fog/
Also, follow @Render @AkomoCombine @matuzalem
@JGSchaefferGreat people to follow, great article, and agreed it's all subterfuge. @nursefrombirth @janallmac @Render @AkomoCombine @matuzalem
@nursefrombirth they get you to accept the land is yours, others do not belong there, then of course the pesky little issue of how to seperate those who belong from those who don't. Some will gladly handle the details while others will pretend to bury their head in sand and let them. @janallmac @Render @AkomoCombine @matuzalem

"Israel is a democratic and diverse country where all citizens, Jewish, Muslim, Christian and others have the right to vote. There are no public toilets, benches or other public spaces, buses, trains, hospitals, public schools or universities segregated by race or religion."
@AkomoCombine We weren't busting on Israel. We were discussing the deus vult and other white supremacy groups and how they can initially present as other than what they are. @JGSchaeffer @nursefrombirth @janallmac @Render @matuzalem
@AnnetteTRemain oh yeah just wanted to quote that from Leonard . ive followed him for years @JGSchaeffer @nursefrombirth @janallmac @Render @matuzalem
@nursefrombirth The sirens are they lure them with the romance, tell insecure people they come from a line of greatness and are capable of so much more, hint at others not coming from line of greatness, indicate the others are keeping them down. Basically they bait them then build upon the foundation of white supremacy. @janallmac
