Marco Rubio did give a speech, to a roomful of Europeans, on the #MAGA #KKK cult panic of #whiteGenocide by calling USA a “child of Europe” and NATO a “cultural cohesion” in danger of “civilizational erasure”.
the sociologist Robert Jay Lifton used the concept of “islands of totalism” to explain why, what i call "little fascisms", thrive in the USA.
Rubio’s speech is an example of how cultists use rhetorical violence to sell their paranoia and delusions as normal; even aspirational.

Vandaag op straat in #Amsterdam: het dilemma van extreemrechts.
Je ziet ze denken.
Aan de ene kant zit #Israël vol joden, en de joden zijn de vijand van het witte ras (zo zijn ze bijv. het brein achter de #GreatReplacememt en de #WhiteGenocide).
Aan de andere kant jagen ze in Israel op grote schaal moslims over de kling om hun lebensraum te vergroten, en dat is natuurlijk een grote bron van inspiratie

#AI #misinformation #Grok #WhiteGenocide
"The AI chatbot Grok spent one day in May 2025 spreading debunked conspiracy theories about 'white genocide' in South Africa, echoing views publicly voiced by Elon Musk, the founder of its parent company, xAI.
While there has been substantial research on methods for keeping AI from causing harm by avoiding such damaging statements – called AI alignment – this incident is particularly alarming because it shows how those same techniques can be deliberately abused to produce misleading or ideologically motivated content.
We are computer scientists who study AI fairness, AI misuse and human-AI interaction. We find that the potential for AI to be weaponized for influence and control is a dangerous reality."

#WhiteGenocide #neoNazis #fascists #courts
In April 2025, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case filed by a pair of white supremacists who felt the police had violated their civil rights by refusing to help them put on a rally in Charlottesville in August of 2017. Their lawsuit was a joke, but unfortunately for all of us, the punchline is that the police don't actually have to help anyone.

#SouthAfrica #Trump #WhiteGenocide
"President Donald Trump says there is a genocide of white people taking place in South Africa, meaning that Black South Africans are deliberately attempting to kill white farmers because of their race.
Trump and his spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, have said violence targeting white farmers in South Africa justifies admitting about 60 white Afrikaner farmers to the U.S. as refugees in May 2025.
This comes after Trump, in January, suspended admitting people, most of whom are not white, from other countries through the United States’ refugee program. The U.S. had previously given refugee status – a legal right to remain and work in the country – to tens of thousands of people each year who were fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries.
(. . .)
Trump’s white genocide claims, which echoed assertions he made during his first term, were quickly debunked by independent fact-checkers.
Don’t let yourself be misled. Understand issues with help from expertsFact-checkers pointed out that while crime rates in South Africa are high in general, there is no evidence of white genocide there. The crosses in the video Trump showed did not mark mass graves of white farmers. They were part of a 2020 tribute to two white farmers murdered by armed men who stormed their house that year.
As someone who has studied genocide and far-right extremists for years, I think it is necessary to understand what white genocide is and how it developed into a central issue in U.S. immigration debates starting in Trump’s first term.
(. . .)
As I detail in my 2021 book *It Can Happen Here: White Power and the Rising Threat of Genocide in the US* white genocide is a far-right extremist conspiracy theory claiming that allegedly bad people, often Jews, are carrying out a dangerous plot to destroy the white race. While this idea circulates worldwide, it has distinctly American roots.
This conspiracy dates back to the 1800s and the rise of nativism, a xenophobic belief held by some white Protestant Americans that certain immigrants, especially German and Irish Catholics, were dangerous and threatened to disrupt American traditions, culture and economic security.
Nativist fears have continued to influence U.S. politics and culture.
The American lawyer Madison Grant, for example, made nativist arguments in his 1916 book *The Passing of the Great Race,* which warned of immigrants’ threat to Americans and 'race suicide.' Adolf Hitler once called Grant’s book his bible.
Nativism has also influenced white power extremists, who believe in white superiority and dominance. They began using the specific term 'white genocide' after the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, which they perceived as eroding white people’s power.
(. . .)
There are also instances of such white power extremist views leading to violent acts. One example is the mass shooting of 11 Jewish people at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. Another is the El Paso Walmart shooting that resulted in 23 murdered Latino victims in 2019.
Right-wing populists such as Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk have helped fuel replacement theories by contending that Democrats are trying to replace white voters with nonwhite immigrants."

#Ramaphosa's visit to the Oval Office changed tone rapidly when Donald Trump ambushed him with videos, images and articles allegedly proving the existence of a #whitegenocide against #Afrikaner farmers in #SouthAfrica. But #Trump misrepresented the articles and the contents of the videos shown, showing a photo from the #DRC as South Africa, as well as claiming years-old footage as current or sharing it out of context.

In an insightful piece by John Amato, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa boldly challenges Donald Trump's unfounded claims of a 'white genocide' against farmers in South Africa. Amato underscores the South African government's denial of these allegations, which are seen as fabrications by American extremist groups. Ramaphosa calls for authentic South African voices to counter misinformation.

To prevent similar problems from happening in the future, xAI says it has now implemented "additional checks and measures to ensure that xAI employees can't modify the #prompt without review" as well as putting in place "a 24/7 monitoring team" to respond to any widespread issues with Grok's responses.

Speaking of South Africa… Here’s a slightly older story from @thecontinent about the United States’ reframing of the country as a pariah state, what President Cyril Ramaphosa can do about that, and why it’s important that he take action. “There is one concession, arguably the most important of them all, that South Africa simply cannot make: It cannot halt the ‘white genocide’ because no such thing exists, except in the imaginations of the white supremacists in Trump’s inner circle. And the racists really need to keep the ‘white genocide’ story alive in order for their ideology to make any sense at all,” writes Simon Allison.

We all have subjects we know we talk about too much (sorry in advance for boring your ears off about politics/our new dog). In the case of X’s Grok AI, it’s white genocide. @404mediaco’s Matthew Gault writes about how, on the afternoon of May 14, Grok answered virtually every question it was asked, whether it was about baseball, video games or HBO, with a reference to South African politics and the widely debunked claims that Afrikaners there are victims of racism. “I think they're literally just taking whatever prompt people are sending to Grok and adding a bunch of text about ‘white genocide’ in South Africa in front of it,” said Matthew Guzdial, an AI researcher at the University of Alberta.
