The wonderful liberal media has warned us that the great outdoors is racist because black people don’t like to climb mountains, but there is some even more sinister going on. Apparently white supremacists are trying to claim nature as a safe space for their racist activities.
Actually, according to this Vice headline, white supremacists are trying to gentrify the wilderness:
White Nationalists Want to Reclaim Nature as a Safe Space for Racists
Does that mean nature is currently in the hands of Black Lives Matter and La Raza? This seems to contradict what the liberal media told us about minorities hating the outdoors.
With a headline that bad, the article can only get worse:
America’s white nationalists are once again embracing the great outdoors.
At first glance, it may seem out of character: Wholesome activities like hiking, foraging for berries, and camping seemingly stand in sharp contrast to lifestyles of the basement-dwelling, far-right livestreamers.
On one recent weekend, a number of young far-right extremists went camping in upstate New York. This “retreat” was the latest in a national event series that aims to foster real-world relationships within the very online, youth-oriented Christian nationalist movement—and with the land they vow to defend against anything they deem un-American and un-Christian, be it immigration, critical race theory, or transgender rights.
Vice is equating Christianity with white supremacy and patriotism with extremism. They want you to be outraged that Christian Americans are against illegal immigration, teaching white kids to hate themselves, and dudes in dresses showering with little girls.
As if it’s not already shocking enough that a Christian group went camping, check this out:
The recent upstate camping retreat also dovetails with another recent trend within the far-right: organic farming. In 2019, white supremacists began cropping up at farmers markets around the U.S.
How do they know these organic farmers are white supremacists? Well, they grow cauliflower but not any black beans, brown rice, or yellow squash. Can this article get any dumber?
Yes, it can. They threw in some Nazi stuff to stoke the flames of outrage:
Of course, obsessions with purity and clean living aren’t just an American white supremacist thing. Nazi Germany was deeply concerned about the longevity of the Aryan race, and so encouraged a healthy lifestyle and good diet. But eating a natural diet was also a core component of the Nazi slogan “blood and soil”—intended to foster nationalism by eating food grown on the land.
So you gotta eat like shit and hang out in a polluted city or you’re a f*cking Nazi.
While Vice never actually named this supposed white white supremacist group that went camping, they did add this tiny detail:
While the organizers of the “America First” wilderness outings don’t necessary identify as neo-Nazi or white supremacist (though their supporters may have ties to those ideologies), it’s clear that they hope those trips will solidify, at minimum, nationalist ties to the land.
Putting this altogether, a group of Christians who don’t identify as Nazis or white supremacists, organized a youth camping trip and Vice says that white nationalists are trying to take nature away from black people who don’t like the outdoors. This may be the fakest piece of fake news ever. At the very least, it’s the dumbest.
