This calculated use of language is a hallmark of white supremacy's survival strategy. It rarely shows its fullface, relying instead on subtlety, euphemisms, and the collective ignorance of those
unwilling to challenge it
In this instance, describing the salute as a "post-inauguration gesture" cloaks its
historical context and racial implications.
Such language fosters ambiguity, leaving room for
plausible deniability and dividing public opinion.
The mogul’s dismissive response to criticism—
calling the backlash “tired” and “dirty tricks”—
further reinforces this tactic, trivializing legitimate concerns
and framing dissent as overreaction.
Social media and new media play a central role in amplifying this divisive rhetoric.
Algorithms designed to prioritize engagement elevate sensational and controversial content
while suppressing critical, nuanced discussions about white supremacy
and its impact on melanated populations.
A 2022 report from the Algorithmic Justice League found that
AI-driven moderation systems
disproportionately penalize melanated users, flagging their content
as "inappropriate" at rates five times higher
than similar content from white users. This suppression of
melanated voices ensures that counter-narratives to
systemic racism struggle to gain traction, allowing
white supremacist ideologies to proliferate unchecked.
W/ Supremacy and the insidious political direction of A.I. reflects an ideological commitment to preserving white dominance under the guise of democratic principles.
