Summary
The white nationalist movement in the U.S., now overburdening its manipulation of the electorate to dominate the executive and legislative branches, has become both more emboldened and chaotic in response to growing opposition from the courts, media, and the public.
This movement, recognizing its increasing anxiety, has resorted to distractions such as controversial trips, absurd executive orders, and threats to impose harsher tariffs or force legal opponents into submission.
An expected example of this is the Executive Order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” which aims to revise history to align with the narrative of white supremacy, a key objective in their agenda. This fight is over reality as we remember it as a foundation for changing reality as we live it today and in the foreseeable future.
This attempt, a key feature of state capture fascism globally, is also increasingly desperate and disruptive, seeking to distort history and manipulate public discourse.
We must combat these efforts by reinforcing our collective memory and commitment to liberation, by engaging in what Jacob Carruthers has called “intellectual warfare.”
It is crucial that we draw strength from the past. By strengthening our understanding of connections between the long view genealogy of our history, including ancient, medieval and more recent past resistance movements, we will better navigate the current political climate and continue our work towards eventual and sustainable liberation.
These efforts require resilience and a clear sense of purpose, reminding us of the importance of historical consciousness in confronting the present.
