Lebensraum was about unifying a diaspora of German speaking people into one collective country.

These people want racially based geopolitical partitioning. The ones with a diaspora and victimhood narrative certainly advocate for an aggressive "homeland of the x people" where racist law keeps it that way.

TOOT-TOOT! Fact-checking police: (...)Lebensraum was an ideological element of Nazism, which advocated Germany's territorial expansion into Eastern Europe(...) As the very name says - "living space"

You seem to be correct!

My mistake! I know what I described was a Nazi policy but after reading wikipedia, Lebensraum wasn't the name of it.

Thank you for the education and correction
