In July 2012, Meier was one of eight 'Islam critical' activists who claimed to be reviving the anti-Nazis resistance White Rose (Weiße Rose) movement, active between 1942-43.
In an interview, he claimed that 'today through historical misrepresentation' the original White Rose movement was 'being pushed into proximity with so-called anti-fascists' and actually 'was a national-conservative, liberal movement'.
The attempt to reclaim anti-fascist history for the far-right in the context of the level of stigma associated with Nazism in Germany, given its history, pre-figured the rhetoric of the anti-Islam movement PEGIDA, which emerged in 2014 and produced a logo showing the swastika being thrown in the bin along with the flag of Islamic state, the Communist hammer and sickle and also the symbol of the Anti-Fascist Network.
Another of the so-called revivalists was Marc Doll, a prominent activist in Rene Stadtkewitz's populist, anti-immigrant, anti-Islam Die Freiheit (Freedom) party.
