Standard blue maga comment, blaming all the US's problems on foreigners, and claiming that trump is a "russian dog", and not a standard white supremacist / imperialist in the tradition of all US presidents.

But.. How is that racist?

It might be stupid, but racist? That's a stretch.

I didn't see the original comment nor do I need to, but ethnic nationalism, the 'blood and soil' kind of nationalism, seeks to forge nationality into the same framework as race. Approaching nation states from this perspective is effectively racist, inherently so.

This is compared to civic nationalism where commitment to national values matters. So one could argue that without clarification it is a stretch, but at the same time... it's usually pretty clear which version is meant.

Referring to another nationality as animals is dehumanizing in contexts like this.

The same way that Nazi's blaming all of Germany's problems on "Judeo-Bolshiviks" was rascist

I did a little writeup brainstorm the other day, om which I reached the same conclusion, that "Russo/Sino-Tankieism" is to Lemmy what "Judeo-Bolshevism" was to Nazi Germany. I'm glad to see you're reading the words out of my mind
