It's a private conversation between members of a white separatist identity movement that's been instrumental in organizing alt right rallies and churning out it's media notables and script. Particularly online, but they also end up on networks like fox and cnn with amusing ticker titles obscuring or omitting the fact of who they are and what they represent.
Briefly summarized, it presents their thoughts in line with the notion that the federal government is engaged in a conspiracy against it's citizens, particularly it's white supremacist citizens, that they are victims rather than would-be oppressors in the final stages of prelude to race war in which hangs the balance of a white future. It had it's roots in the confluence between the european identitarian movement a cynical conservative messaging campaign, but the latter lost control of it and are now seen as "cuckservatives".
Part of a piece, really, as they've been finding amusing ways to coopt other mainstream conservative talking points as a way to advance their presence and ideology without the ideological barrier of white supremacy getting in the way. Things like hanging up posters on overpasses warning motorists "Danger, Sharia City Ahead", or echoing mainstream (and thus more socially acceptable) anti-immigrant rhetoric. They're particularly active on college campuses, infiltrating student republican groups as covert recruiters.
For reasons likely too long to fully address in this post (but I can toss you some links if you like) the two most successful messages from the standpoint of recruiting the unaligned are "free speech" and "hypocrisy" - so they lean hard into both like any competent recruiter would. The end result being not only that they grow their movement, but that people who don't recognize who they are or what their message is seemingly agreeing with their rhetoric, publicly, further normalizing the POV and shifting the overton window in their favor.
