Established in 1937 by a pro-Nazi American textiles magnate, Wickliffe Draper, the Pioneer Fund had direct ties to Nazi eugenicists and senior officials in Hitler’s regime. It actively promoted Nazi ideology in the US by distributing Nazi propaganda films.
After the Second World War, the Pioneer Fund would go on to play a huge role in financing Nazi-inspired research at American universities by commissioning studies on scientific racism.
…
The ‘war on woke’ did not suddenly appear. It is an idea deeply rooted in a form of scientific racism that has been laundered into the mainstream over decades by the Pioneer Fund and right-wing activists connected with this group.
This nexus of ties to Pioneer Fund entities and ideology throws new light on how the Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are the fruit of a broader white supremacist endeavour inspired by Nazi-aligned ideology.
It also suggests that the increasing normalisation of the Nazi salute by Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and others is not an accident either – but a signal; one we would do well not to ignore.
Scientific racism is the dominant racial ideology in the USA at least. This is the actual reason why fash are violently opposed to critical race theory. They need to maintain their pseudo-scientific supremacy and false narratives of “whiteness”.
This is a great read if you have the time.
Chris Rufo is a fascist? Well I am shocked
