Fact check: How is the 14 words slogan used by white nationalist groups?

1. Summary of the results

The 14 words slogan is widely used by white nationalist groups as a reference to two slogans originated by David Eden Lane, a domestic terrorist and one of the founding members of the defunct white supremacist terrorist organization The Order ^[1]. The primary slogan is 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children', which reflects the primary white supremacist worldview in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, that unless immediate action is taken, the white race is doomed to extinction by an alleged 'rising tide of color' purportedly controlled and manipulated by Jews ^[2]. The slogan is often referenced in its full form, as well as in abbreviated versions such as '14 Words', 'Fourteen Words', or simply the number '14' ^{[3] [2]}. The Anti-Defamation League describes the 14 words as a hate symbol, which is used by white supremacist groups, including the Rise Above Movement (RAM), to promote their ideology ^{[2] [3] [4]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some key points that are missing from the original statement include the historical context of the 14 words slogan, which was originated by David Eden Lane in the late 20th century ^[1]. Additionally, the original statement does not provide information on the various forms in which the slogan is used, including abbreviated versions and symbols ^{[3] [2]}. Furthermore, the statement does not mention the connections between the 14 words slogan and other white supremacist groups, such as the Hammerskin Nation ^[4]. Alternative viewpoints on the 14 words slogan may include critiques of the white supremacist ideology and its promotion of hate and violence ^{[2] [3] [4]}. It is also important to consider the impact of the 14 words slogan on marginalized communities and the need to counter hate speech and promote inclusivity and diversity ^{[2] [3] [4]}.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be biased towards presenting the 14 words slogan as a neutral or factual topic, without providing sufficient context on its hateful and violent connotations ^{[1] [2] [4]}. Additionally, the statement may be misleading in its lack of information on the connections between the 14 words slogan and other white supremacist groups, which may give the impression that the slogan is not widely used or promoted by hate groups ^[4]. The Anti-Defamation League and other organizations that track hate speech and white supremacist activity may benefit from a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of the 14 words slogan, which highlights its hateful and violent implications ^{[2] [3] [4]}. On the other hand, white supremacist groups may benefit from a lack of awareness and understanding of the 14 words slogan, which can allow them to promote their ideology and recruit new members without being held accountable for their hate speech and violent actions ^[4].
