Protzi
(Noun) A Term referring to white supremacists with protestant sociocultural roots, typically marked by hostility towards immigrants, racial minorities, Orthodox christians, and Muslims.
The term highlights the fusion of racial supremacy, antiimmigrant rhetoric, and sectarian fanaticism that underpins racist political and social movements (particularly in the United States, England, the Netherlands, Germany, and Scanadanavia)
Importantly, the term does not refer to protestants or white folk in general, nor does it target religion or ethnicity as such. Rather, it describes a set of racist ideological, sociological, and cultural groups that draw selectively from protestant cultural narratives to justify their exclusionary or violent beliefs (especially against catholics, muslims, and racialized people)

A new University of Zimbabwe study warns about the concerning rise of Protzi movements across England, Germany, and the Netherlands that have been funded by far right groups in the United States and Israel .
Some Protzi groups like AfD, Sweden Democrats, and Reform UK focus primarily on attacking muslims, while other Protzi groups like the KKK focus more on attacking black and catholic people, and other protzi groups still like the orange order attack irish and french catholics primarily.
