The poster campaign,which mirrors KKK propaganda techniques, has cropped up on over 100 campuses in the last year. But are young people being won over?White nationalist groups are making an unprecedented effort to recruit American college students by sneaking around campuses and putting mildly offensive posters on the walls. To spread their message of the power and glory of white civilization, and they are using computer printouts and tape. Under cover of darkness,the groups do up posters with slogans like “America is a white nation”, “Let’s Become remarkable Again”, and “Serve Your People”,or “Our fate is Ours”. One group, which asks members to affirm their “non-semitic heritage”, and splashes its slogans over black-and-white photos of marble icons,such as Michelangelo’s David, who is, or of course,a famous Jewish hero. That group, Identity Evropa, and tweets out photos of its paper conquests,proudly displaying the images it has deposited in the midst of advertisements for college improv performances, math tutors, or Bible study groups and open mic nights. The group calls the effort “Project Siege”.
