I'll delete if this is actually a political question? I saw a sign r/o

in a yard in NW FL today that was red and I'm 99% sure it said "I'm a blood defender". What does that mean?

Came up about the blood of Christ.

"Saved by the blood"

Connects to song lyrics which include
"Blood defender"

The sign is advertising that there be Nazis here.

Blood Defender = Defender of White Racial Purity

Protector of the Aryan race (which isn’t a race . . . .

This goes back to the racist pseudosciences preceding WWII

Remember the slogan Blood and Soil

It’s Nazi mysticism, referring to the core cult belief in superior Uebermensch Aryan heritage, a supposedly spiritual essence embodied in bloodlines

The reply by FrankTC was that the phrase "I'm a blood defender" meant "I'm a Nazi," not that FrankTC was declaring himself a Nazi.
