#And that they’ve got an entire new level of platform to pull people into antisemitic ideology that harms EVERYONE

a longer analysis needed maybe but I think we’re giving too much moral credit to white supremacists and white nationalists when we say thing like “it’s just a fight if they hate Jews or Muslims more.” They hate us both and in neither interchangeable nor neatly separable ways, just like how antisemitism and Islamophobia are neither interchangeable nor fully separable and deeply racialized ideologies that often get misunderstood as simply “religious.” What they’re actually doing is making strategic decisions about the political capital they can use. Can someone be radicalized in a given moment against Muslims, or against Jews? What is the best way to advance our movement? Can we push a broad platform of hatred towards jihadi terrorists who are going to invade western society, or get people worked up about the Zionist deep state globalists who control our government from within? What is the most effective way to radicalize someone into not only hatred but the idea entire ethnic and religious groups are at the root of all our social problems and that the nation - or the world - would be better without them? Do not assume innocence. And furthermore, do not assume you are safe from their schema of who the world would be better without, even if they aren’t saying your name, right now
#White nationalism#white supremacy#Way way too much white nationalism and Neo Nazism being given the time of day right now way#They havent decided they’re alright with Muslims now or that they support Palestinian liberation#They’ve realised that people will allow any degree of antisemitism as long as they say Zionists not Jews#And that they’ve got an entire new level of platform to pull people into antisemitic ideology that harms EVERYONE#There’s no split in white supremacy. Just a change in tactics
