"Neo-Nazi terror group steps up US operations as FBI pulls back This is a key concept in neo-Nazi and white supremacist subculture, said Beirich. Western man is code for white man, and one of the most popular racist books in these subcultures is Which Way Western Man, which has been featured in a [Department of Homeland Security] post celebrating manifest destiny."
"The 1978 book is essential reading among the American far right and was written by the late white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, a member of the National Alliance a foundational neo-Nazi organization established by William Luther Pierce, whose writing inspired several acts of terrorism, including the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. It's absolutely shocking to see such images being deployed by this administration, said Beirich."
The White House posted a cartoon on X showing two Greenlandic mush teams and asked, 'Which way, Greenland man?'. The image referenced Donald Trump's demands that Greenland become part of the United States. Heidi Beirich identified the phrasing as a nod to neo-Nazi and white supremacist culture where 'Western man' is code for 'white man'. The phrase echoes the 1978 book Which Way Western Man by William Gayley Simpson, described as essential reading among the American far right. Simpson was a member of the National Alliance, founded by William Luther Pierce, whose writings inspired acts of terrorism including the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. DHS materials have featured the book and been compared to Third Reich propaganda.
