Tether is Infrared slang for a diaspora political actor who immigrates to the West and then lobbies for US intervention against his own homeland — a traitor to his nation of origin serving the empire from inside it.
Usage
- Haz on a policy stream: "We want to deport Laura Loomer. We want to deport every tether — every single immigrant who comes here to lobby for interventions against their homeland needs to be deported into the sea." (Shocking news stream)
- "He's a Venezuelan tether" — said of a Venezuelan-American IR ideologue shilling regime change against Venezuela (RED PILL NEWS).
- Applied across nationalities: "the Irish tether" for Keith Woods in banter, Cuban tethers for Miami hardliners, etc.
The concept
The tether names a specific imperial mechanism: empire doesn't only rule through its own agents but through exile populations weaponized against their homelands — Cuban Miami against Cuba, Venezuelan exiles against Maduro, Iranian MEK-types against Tehran. The tether's class function is to provide humanitarian cover ("I just want to free my people") for sanctions and bombing. MAGA Communism's answer is the patriotic front across nationalities: immigrants organized as anti-imperialists, not as lobbies.
