Welcome to The White Rose SL.

 Welcome to The White Rose SL.

We are a group that meets in Second Life for political purposes.

We are inspired by a group of young people in Nazi Germany who called themselves The White Rose. They lost their lives for distributing pamphlets trying to fight against fascism and injustice. We give a friendly nod to the International White Rose Society- https://whiteroseinternational.com/ , where you can read more about the heroes involved.

We feel we may be seeing early signs of fascist tendencies rearing its ugly head again today, and authoritarianism for sure. We also see many signs of injustice around us. We are inspired by the story off the White Rose and wish to carry on fighting like they did. 

In modern times we don't need to print pamphlets to let our written words be heard. We can write in blogs, on websites, on bluesky and facebook and X, e-mail representatives, send group texts, and e-mails. There are so many ways we can write, and distribute, our words of resistance! The opportunities abound! The dangers still exist.  Could our words put us on some sort of watch list? Perhaps! We are living in dangerous times. But the internet also gives us cloaks of anonymity, where we can create pen names, and call ourselves silly things like "bluebuttduck".

Right wing extremism is taking over like a force, not just in the USA but world wide. I'd like to gather together all like-minded second life residents to join us to brainstorm ways we can use the mighty pen, or keyboard, to use our words to fight injustice, racism, violence, authoritarianism, fascism, and loss of freedom everywhere.
