I usually try to keep my space free of....this sort of thing, but I have to say. This sounds like it's being read directly from hate mail i get from nazis. That is *terrifying*. Not only is this conceptualization of "loss of culture" overtly racist, it's COMPLETELY IMAGINARY.
"The myth of the monochrome Middle Ages, in which the medieval is originary, pure, and white, transcends geographical and temporal boundaries. It is attached, through supposed biological descent, to white bodies, wherever and whenever they go[...]"

No matter how far back you go, the mythical time that they’re looking for, when all-white, racially and culturally isolated Europe was “real”, will continue to recede from your grasp until it winkles out the like imaginary place it is.

Since 2013 I've been taking people by the hand and walking backwards in time, pointing out surviving physical objects, primary sources, and even archaeological/physical *remains* that show an unbroken line of people existing in Europe that today, would not be considered "white".
In response to me literally just pointing out things that physically exist, I have gotten verbatim messages from literal nazis asking "Why are you trying to HURT my CULTURE"
There is literally no difference between what the person who ostensibly runs the country i live in and "aryanknight6" has to say. I am pretty effing sure that "don't feed the trolls" ISN'T GONNA WORK to protect me in this situation, and IT NEVER HAS.
Again, notice just our *existence* is reframed and bowdlerized into some kind of THREAT. That's what happened when your spun-glass fake identity(whiteness), is based entirely in what it *isn't*. I STILL get nasty comments on this tweet
