The Labor Dept is using AI-generated recruitment posters for its "Blue Collar Boom" ad campaign, glorifying white, macho Christian males, similar to the propaganda posters used by the Third Reich. "At first glance, the campaign might appear to be a harmless throwback to World War II recruitment posters. But its messaging is anything but neutral. The aesthetic centers white masculinity as the symbol of national strength, evoking imagery used by Nazi Germany to elevate Aryan men while erasing women and minorities from public life. In the 1930s, Joseph Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda popularized posters of blond, muscular men as the "ideal German worker." Women appeared only as mothers, while Jews, Roma, and others were erased altogether. The Trumpf junta's posters, Nehemiah D. Frank writes, follow a chillingly similar script: White men as the emblem of loyalty, patriotism, and progress." You can more of the posters in the link or at www.apprenticeship.gov. |
