The acronym itself is very much an HR term, so I think the intention is, in addition to red meat for the base, to work people up based on animus against HR and middle management. But of course unless you have a master’s degree in one of like 3 fields or are a middle manager yourself you’ve probably never heard the acronym.

From a recent NPR article about the nazi laser projections in jacksonville, fl

Nunes is emblematic of today’s white nationalists, embracing whiteness as descendants of Europeans rather than obsessing over Aryan bloodlines. He says he’s half-Portuguese – in a movement historically fixated on perceived purity that would’ve been a barrier to entry in the past.

“I’ve definitely got some Iberian blood. And there’s, you know, there’s all types in the movement. There’s people that are, like, super hard, purity spiralers. But it’s like, at the end of the day, that’s never going to work in America,” Nunes says.

It’s quite a read. :this-is-fine:

“We’re like regular working-class white people that are racially aware. And so we’re Nazis, right?”

Is he being sarcastic? He’s wearing a hat with a deaths-head symbol and projecting a huge swastika. They love doing this

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. - Sartre

Reminder that the Nazis based a lot of the Nuremberg laws on Jim Crow laws but scaled back the thresholds because the American ‘one drop rule’ was too strict to fly in Germany

Yeah but I mean I thought the propaganda was “they’re killing babies, taking away your guns, and teaching your kids that they are bad for being white”.
