Tether
Tether — Infrared slang for a diaspora political actor who immigrates to the West and lobbies for intervention against his own homeland.
From the streams
- The policy line (Shocking news 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."
- The type specimen (RED PILL NEWS | PALESTINE WAR stream): "Eric Suarez — Latin American politics, he's a Venezuelan tether, international relations, he's got glasses, and he's an ideologist. It was never about winning that guy over. It was about winning over the 19,000 otherwise apolitical, Trump-sympathetic people who naturally respond saying yes..." — the tether as gatekeeper-ideologue vs. the actual people.
- Banter extension: "the Irish tether" for Keith Woods (RED PILL NEWS | FREE PALESTINE stream).
The concept
Empire rules through exile populations weaponized against their homelands. The tether provides humanitarian cover ("free my people") for sanctions and bombing. MAGA Communism's answer: immigrants organized as anti-imperialists, not lobbies (Laura Loomer, MAGA Communism).
