A social media post from the Department of Labor is attracting criticism for appearing to echo a Nazi-era slogan from the early 20th century.

The department posted to X on Jan. 10, “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American.”

Dozens of users commented and reposted, expressing alarm and outrage over what they called an alarming echo of what the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum describes as one of the central slogans used by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. That slogan is, “One People, One Realm, One Leader.”

    Even if you’re a dumb shit conservative who can’t recognize obvious patterns, why is the Department of Labor posting nationalistic “patriotic” slogans? What does that have to do with labor?

      A lot? Nationalism is deeply involved with labor on relation to protectionist policies and whether to have them or not. That’s not to excuse how much they’ve fucked the department in the ass though

        Really bending over backward to sanewash the fascism. Protectionism is pretty far afield from touting heritage and homeland. Lots of diverse immigrant union members on board with protectionism and almost never for nationalistic reasons.
