Addendum the mention that 'Rhodesia' is a "transglobal nation which never abolished any of the good old morality laws" is meant as an #LiteralMeaningInsinuation, which #LiteralMeaningConnotation.nnotes a type of #PleaNostalgiaRetrospection for a #NarrativeUtopiaHomeland - what #IRLScholarSvetlanaBoym describes as a #PleaNostalgiaRestorative where #TheoryDeclinism.ist impulses are able to imagine a #NarrativeStableMorality of #TheoryRetrospectiveIdentities

Context "Nostalgia for Rhodesia has since grown into a subtle and profitable form of racist messaging, with its own line of terminology, hashtags and merchandise, peddled to military-history fans and firearms enthusiasts by a stew of far-right provocateurs. ... But outside observers of this Rhodesia revival cite a far more disturbing inspiration for it: Dylann Roof, the American white supremacist who killed nine black parishioners in a Charleston, S.C. church in June 2015. Roof, who was sentenced to death last year, had penned an online manifesto, which appeared on a website called The Last Rhodesian, with photographs of himself wearing a jacket with a patch of the green-and-white Rhodesian flag." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/10/magazine/rhodesia-zimbabwe-white-supremacists.html #IRLWhiteSupremacistDylannRoof #ToponymAfricaSouthernSouthAfrica #IRLHistoricalFigureCecilRhodes #SlurWhiteSupremacy #PoliticsNationalismWhite #MassShooting2015CharlestonChurch

And that Rhodesia and South Africa were simply better places under their racist colonial caste systems."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianHenryDyer and #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianMichaelGoodier "In another video [mp4] appearing to reference a far-right trope, the Reform leader concluded a £78 video: 'I've got to end this by saying 'up the Rhodesia'. Now whether this is the old country or a pub, I don't know, but that's the message.' There are no pubs in England called the Rhodesia. Rhodesia, a white minority-rule state that is now Zimbabwe, has become a common reference point for white nationalists. Dr Robert Topinka, a lecturer in digital media and rhetoric at Birkbeck, University of London, said: 'Rhodesia is a key far-right and white nationalist reference point and has been since the 60s. Rhodesia is shorthand for a beleaguered white minority fighting heroically in a doomed battle to preserve an ethnostate.'" https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-interactive/2026/mar/17/nigel-farage-videos-support-rioter-neonazi-event-far-right-slogans#up-the-rhodesia-and-other-far-right-tropes #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUKNigelFarage #PoliticsNationalismEthno

Housing rights experts say a community restricted to white residents is illegal, but the creators believe they could win a potential challenge in court in the current political climate. ... The far right is surging in the United States, driven in part by white nationalists exploiting economic anxieties and a populace increasingly frustrated with the political status quo. Now, as the Trump administration rolls back diversity, equity and inclusion policies, cracks down on immigration and offers pardons to white supremacists, some see an opening. In creating their community, the founders of Return to the Land are testing anti-discrimination housing laws that have been in place for 57 years." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/realestate/arkansas-white-housing-return-to-land.html?unlocked_article_code=1.fU8.a9Yj.KSRlklK2Bawn #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #ConspiracyTheory_GreatReplacement #MetaphorPurityRace #IRLPrivateCitizenPeterCsere [commentary] #PoliticsNationalismWhite #VlogAarvollEricOrwoll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX-kUl2AzHE #NarrativeUtopiaSectReturnToTheLandRTTL "We seek to create a decentralized movement, formed of various individuals and societies returning to the land.

#NMUSCNNCindyVonQuednow, #NMUSCNNDonieOSullivan "Michelle Walker, who is of Jewish ancestry, says the organization that runs the community, Return to the Land, discriminated against her by denying her the opportunity to buy land based on race and religion. Walker is married to a Black man and has biracial children, her lawsuit says. She's seeking unspecified damages, including punitive damages. ... To live in the community, Orwoll told CNN: 'You have to be someone who identifies with your European heritage and ancestry. You have to celebrate traditional European values and we get those values from our religious documents within Christianity, within Norse paganism.' 'We do view Jewish origins as having their roots in the near East, and so they wouldn't fall under the category of European heritage,' Orwoll said last year. Denying Walker's application constitutes 'blatant and brazen violations of long-standing federal and state fair housing laws,' the complaint states. The lawsuit claims that Return to the Land's founders believe that White people are genetically superior to other races and advocate for segregated communities to create an all-White nation that will help avoid 'white genocide.' Orwoll told CNN he formed the association 'to facilitate forming communities for people of European heritage.'" https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/20/us/arkansas-return-to-the-land-discrimination-lawsuit #2026_ #ToponymEuropeNordic_ #BeliefPaganismHeathenryNeoVolkisch [Wikipedia] #ConspiracyTheory_WhiteGenocide

Addendum overly sentimental piece, presumably intended to appeal to the viewer's emotions more than anything else. #PoliticsNationalismRomantic
'The Forgotten Man' by Jon McNaughton (2010) is a #NarrativePainting, which depicts a nationalistic, conservative world-view, whose unsubtle #TheoryConstitutionalLawOriginalism #CharacterisationSentimentality is intended to provoke #TheoryAffectiveResponseOutrage. #TheorySociologyRetrotopia ?

Addendum according to this tweet: "Make no mistake about it... The Obama's were the creators and starting point of all the division and current anti-American chaos we're witnessing in America today."
