Deron Harris #172 - ALL WHITE, FAR RIGHT TOWNS ARE ON THE RISE IN AMERICA THANK GOD - Is This A Blessing, Or Should The Rest Of Us Beware?

In this episode of the Deron Harris Podcast, Deron addresses the concerning rise of all-white, far-right towns emerging across America. He expresses gratitude to his listeners for their support and emphasizes the importance of mental health, sharing his own struggles with major depressive disorder and anxiety. Deron encourages listeners to seek help if they are feeling overwhelmed, highlighting the significance of therapy. The main focus of the episode is on a group called "Return to the Land" (RTTL), which aims to establish intentional communities exclusively for individuals of white Anglo-Saxon European ancestry. Deron discusses a specific RTTL community in the Ozark Mountains and their plans to expand to other states, including Springfield, Missouri. He raises alarms about the implications of these communities, suggesting they represent a form of segregation and could influence local politics and social dynamics. While Deron acknowledges that people have the right to choose where they live, he expresses his discomfort with the ideology behind these all-white communities. He contrasts this with the historical context of Black communities forming out of necessity due to exclusion and discrimination. Deron stresses the need for vigilance against the spread of such ideologies, warning that they could lead to a resurgence of racism and segregation in America. Throughout the episode, Deron calls for proactive engagement from those who oppose these movements, urging listeners to stay informed and challenge racist ideologies.
