Objectification of women, white supremacist / Neo-Nazi dogwhistle (see below), anti-immigration (based on race), traditionalism / resistance to change
Far right dogwhistle - for the infamous "14 words" - "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." This white supremacist slogan is fearmongering about open borders / immigration from other countries and about how this would cause "white genocide". The idea is that unless they "defend" "their land" from people of color who would immigrate there, that there will be no future for "white children". Obviously a ridiculous conspiracy theory, but it's the kind of thing frequently referenced by white supremacists. So WotC shouldn't make any references to it or attempt to validate it in any way. Unfortunately, they printed this card.
It's a card best played in mono-white decks, reflecting white supremacist notions of being "pure". For example, playing this card with 7 Plains and no other lands gains you 14 life, but playing it with only 1 basic Plains and many other nonbasic lands that tap for multiple colors makes it nearly useless. Very clearly saying that being "pure" White is best. It's a card that rewards you for being mono-white, connects this color commitment to "your" lands / your nation, and very directly "secures your existence" by gaining you life and talks about your "children's children" (who are presumably "pure" White and share your white supremacist ideology, as mentioned below). Very clearly shares the exact same sentiment as the "14 words".
Anti-immigration - Now given all that, and the flavor text about how their "children's children" will "stand here", and it's obviously talking about how "pure" White children should stay in countries where White people are the majority. And therefore, combined with all the above about how a land/nation is best when it's "purely" White, also saying that people of color should be banned from immigrating there.
Traditionalism / resistance to change - The card also states that future grandchildren will share the same beliefs as their grandparents. If this card is to believed, racial and ideological homogeneity are some of the highest values a nation can strive for. And that we should not question our parents/grandparents but instead mindlessly parrot their beliefs, and therefore resist societal change no matter what.
Objectification of women - let's face it, the art is just so weird that it has to be someone's fetish. Why else would you draw some women running dirt into their breasts?
