The white wellness ecosystem, fostering family-friendly ‘white wellbeing’
The Normalisation of the Far-Right

"White nationalism, or any other supremacist or ethno-nationalist movement, usually harkens back to some romanticised idea of the past. The past when [white people] 'had power'. The past when the community 'was pure'. The past, when everything was good."

"Built into that is usually the idea of a romanticisation of more traditional ways of doing things, of escaping from modern society, which is usually described in these communities as degenerate … as unwholesome. So the purity, the return-to-nature found in the wellness movement has an inherent appeal to many groups [including] white nationalists."

"....The wellness industry and white nationalism have a common thread of 'purity' and cleanliness. 'We want to focus on having picnics and outdoor meetings and public events that you can bring your family to, where we see our healthy white children running around and being happy, and other people will look at us and see how great and friendly and family oriented and not scary [we are], and not wearing hoods and not sporting swastikas.'""

"Wellness does play into that, in part, because if you're walling yourself off from the rest of the world, you do need your organic coffee and your bar of soap and your hair tonic and whatnot. And these businesses help to create an economic base."

ABC News · How white nationalists infiltrated the wellness industryBy Catherine Zengerer
Continued thread

…Despite his conciliatory nature, however, even #Ramaphosa wasn't able to hide his
frustration after 59 #white #Afrikaans South Africans who were granted *#refugee* status by the #Trump admin arrived in the #US last week.

Ramaphosa said given that there is no persecution of the minority group, the #Afrikaners who left for the US were simply white people who didn't want to live under #Black majority rule.

Continued thread

It was exactly what South Africans had been dreading, especially after #Trump's televised #hostility towards Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr #Zelensky in the Oval Office earlier this year made headlines around the world.

The US admin has repeatedly slammed #Pretoria for what it FALSELY claims is the systematic persecution of #white #Afrikaner farmers – & the South African side has repeatedly tried to correct Washington. To no avail.

Continued thread

#Congress authorized the #DOJ to conduct civil investigations into constitutional #abuses by #police, such as excessive use of force or racially-motivated policing, in 1994, as a response to the horrific beating of #RodneyKing, a #Black man, by #white #LAPD officers.

During #Biden's presidency, the #CivilRights Division launched 12 such "pattern or practice" investigations into police depts including #Phoenix, #NYC, #Trenton, #Memphis & #Lexington.

Continued thread

The move comes 4 days before the May 25 5yr anniversary of the death of #GeorgeFloyd, a #Black man who was murdered by Derek Chauvin, a #white #police officer who knelt on his neck as Floyd repeatedly pleaded that he couldn't breathe.
Floyd's killing, & the killing of #BreonnaTaylor who was shot to death by #Louisville Police executing a no-knock warrant, sparked worldwide protests about racially-motivated policing practices during the final year of #Trump's 1st term.

The most of the fields in the Netherlands are cultivatated en green and almost without a flower in it. This local patch is still cultivated on the old fasioned way and may not be mowed before the 1st of june. Look at the rich nature, wow.
In photographic way I like the contrast a lot between the dark sky en the colourfull field.
