Die Zeit porträtiert eine „Whites Only“ Siedlung in Arkansas samt schicker Fotostrecke, und schreibt dazu in den Insta-Slides über den Gründer, einen Antisemiten und White Supremacist Überschriften wie „Orwoll, ein Rassist?“ (Sein Projekt wird auch von einem australischen Neo-Nazi unterstützt).

Zeit Screenshot: „Orwoll, der Rassist?
Er, der diese Siedlung nur für Weiße aufbaut, sagt, er würde sich nicht damit befassen, wenn Menschen ihn als Rassisten beschreiben würden.
Eher erzählt er von Nachrichten, die er bekommt, in denen Leute schreiben, dass er wenigstens ehrlich sei.“

Mein Kommentar: „Ist der Mann, der einen weißen Ethnostaat will, ein Rassist, fragt man sich nachdenklich bei der Zeit.“

„David Duke nearly became governor of Louisiana in 1991, garnering more than a half million votes.
There were White Pride rallies in the 80s that filled stadiums.
We are further now from victory than we were 40 years ago, not closer.
We aren't pressing hard or fast enough.“

You'd think this was a schizo post, but that's actually what's happening Q21.“

Screenshot RTTL website:
„Does RTTL want to bring back the Jim Crow Act, segregation, discrimination, or the holocaust?
RTTL is not a political organization and has no intent to shape public policy. We hope that our politicians will enact the best policies "=) ensure a positive future for our nation.“
„Is RTTL a Nazi organization?

The Nazi Party existed in Germany from 1919 to 1945. The year is currently 2025 and we are in America. Draw your own conclusions.“

@Aarvoll

„The term "Aryan" as an ethnonym wasn't unique to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European peoples.
It comes from the PIE root *áryas, which meant
"noble", and was probably used as an autonym, in some form, by Pontic Steppe derived aristocracies all over Eurasia.
It's a controvertial subject and modern etymologists will deny it, but the Proto-Germanic
"Abala", the Irish "Éire" and the Greek "Aristos", all meaning "noble", are probably all related to the PIE "*áryas".
It was a word that referred to a single ethnic ruling caste that dominated many societies, it basically meant the same as the modern European concept of aristocracy (most European aristocratic lines descend from Germanic equestrian conquerers).

Aarvoll @@Aarvoll_•31.05.25
Famous "American" classical music composers like Gershwin, Copland and Bernstein (all Jewish), don't capture the uniquely American classical style that developed in the 19th century“

Zeit insta-slide: „ZEIT-Autorin Rieke Havertz ist nach Arkansas gereist und hat das Gespräch mit Gründer Eric Orwoll und weiteren künftigen Dorfbewohnern gesucht.
Die Reportage findet ihr unter dem Link in unserer Bio.“

Mein Kommentar: Bei der „Zeit" spricht man mit einem Rassisten und
Antisemiten, dessen Projekt von einem australischen Neo-Nazi unterstützt wird.

„Jews on Reddit found out about Return to the Land, and now they're all riled up against us.
God forbid a single explicitly White community should exist...
This is a losing battle for them if they decide to press it.
They get a state and nukes but we can't have a neighborhood?“
