[kosherkept]

just thinking about how totally leftists opinions shifted from 2020 to 2023/2024 like

"a person of color being a bad person doesn't mean they deserve to face racism" >> "bad jews deserve what they get"

"black lives matter" >> "slavery is okay if the houthis do it"

"the US government is bad but people arent usually represented by their governments, most of us didnt vote for trump anyway" >> "all israelis are evil because of netanyahu's actions"

"if one nazi sits down at a table of 9 normal people, there are 10 nazis" >> *allowing swastikas and HH salutes at protests*

"silence is violence" >> "it isnt my job to talk about antisemitism"

"racial minorities shouldnt have to try to pass as white, 'white passing' privilege is complicated and should be treated as such" >> "jews are white and i wont entertain any other possibility, historical or otherwise"

"let minorities define their own bigotry" >> "jews dont know what real antisemitism is and theyre exaggerating anyway"

“immigrants should be protected and deportation is wrong” >> “israelis need to go back to where they came from”

obviously this isn't a comprehensive list & feel free to add more if you see fit but the amount of things these people did a total 180º on as soon as it was about jews is insane

Things that I SWEAR I'm not making up about the Star Trek franchise:

A shifty alien bartender, his brother, and his nephew were what happened at Roswell

There are three mutually contradictory canonical explanations for what exists at the centre of the Galaxy, none of which are "A fuck-off gigantic black hole"

Two of these things are, respectively, God and the Devil

(The crew got along well enough with the Devil, but Spock had to blow-up God with a torpedo)

One of the most compelling and sympathetic characters in the franchise is a hologram of Professor Moriarty who gained enough self-awareness to realise that he didn't need to be evil just because he was written that way

If you fly too fast, you turn into a salamander

(Said salamanders are actually the inevitable endpoint of human evolution)

The universe is balanced on the back of a giant koala (why is it smiling? What does it know!?)

There have been three separate groups of Space Nazis (not just aliens with a fascist government; literal Nazis with armbands and swastikas)

There are also: two (2) cowboy planets, two (2) planets that are just post-apocalyptic versions of Cold War-era Earth, one (1) planet ruled by Chicago mobsters from the 1920s, and one (1) version of Earth where the Roman Empire never fell

The Roman planet has its own Jesus

There is an anthropological law governing parallel planetary development that holds that planets are likely to recapitulate eras from Earth history

Because of the intervention of an ancient race of ur-humanoids, most sentient races in the galaxy look like human actors with rubber prostheses glued to their foreheads

There are so many planets centred around sex and hedonism that people in the fandom use the term "Roddenberry Sex Planet" to describe them

Jack the Ripper was an alien ghost

Amelia Earhart was abducted by aliens

If you have a high ESP score, you turn into a god when you try to fly outside of the Galaxy

The major antagonists are: Space Vikings/Samurai, Space Romans (not the Romans mentioned earlier), Space Fascists (not any of the nazi groups mentioned earlier), the Space British Empire (ruled by goo people), and Space Bees (except you'll turn into one if they sting you)

Klingons have two dicks

Borg assimilation can be catalyzed by eating car batteries

[certified-pinkwasher]

theres a concerning pattern that i am sure im not the only one who has noticed

the "punch a nazi" people are comparing the magen david to the swastika. does this not seem like blatant lead up to more violent antisemitic hate crimes?

like if literally any behavior is accepted towards the people they view as evil i wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing people straight up bragging about committing hate crimes

[uss-edsall]

Before and during the Second World War, the Third Reich made an absolute fuckload of the Nazi flag. You know, the infamously iconic red flag with a white circle and black swastika in the middle.

It was both the national icon and, being the symbol of fascism, extremely important to churn out millions of the things.

The allies who fucked the Third Reich’s shit and made a Thousand-Year Reich fail to survive the decade employed millions of young men who all knew they were making history, and wanted a little souvenir to bring home. A Nazi flag made for a great one. They’d torn down the world’s greatest evil, captured the flag, a potent symbol that people have died for. Why not take it?

Eighty years later, when the youngest man to have fought in the war is 97 and they’re all dying out, families the world over are going through great-grandpa’s stuff and finding whole ass Nazi flags. They know he served in the War, they know he wasn’t a Nazi, he killed Nazis! But they don’t want a Nazi flag in their home in Chicago, or wherever they are. But it’s a genuine historical artefact. People fought to defend that flag, or to destroy the evil that flew it. You can’t just throw it away, it’s got an educational value to it. Oh, I know!

Send it to a museum!

The result of this?

Every military history museum refuses to take Nazi flags from people, because every day they get three or four offers to take ol great-grandpa’s nazi flag and put it on display to Warn The Next Generation.

Today I and a couple others from my museum opened a storage unit that hasn’t been catalogued since 2014. I joked before we entered, “I bet we’ll find a Nazi flag!” We found two.

I love the approach that the David Star (Symbol) and the David Star from the Israeli flag are not the same symbol and inches do not look the same

The David Star is usually depicted this way (Occasionally, it is less negative, but blue has negative connotations)

The color of the wood is no longer associated with the Israeli flag

This does not change the fact that we still have the same problem, the connotations it will have in the future and how the symbol will be perceived by the victims of Israel.

An example would be the manji symbol

Even though it is different from the Nazi swastika, it was still associated with it

So logically, the manji should not be attacked so much when it appears, but as you can imagine, the way the Asian media portrayed it caused quite a lot of outrage in the Jewish community, even though the two symbols are different (Compared to the David Star and the flag Israel)

And here the question begins: won't David's star suffer the same fate as Manja? The symbol was used by genociders and lost its peaceful meaning?

Manji was a symbol of happiness, unfortunately, because of the madman who stole it, it lost its meaning and is constantly confused with its Nazi equivalent…

Saying that the David Star and the flag of Israel are different sounds irrational considering the history of the symbol which was also different and yet was considered evil by an evil man (And both symbols were more different than the David Star and the flag of Israel)

If Israel had not placed the David Star on its flag, no one would have combined the two. Unfortunately, the symbol was used here and has a high risk of becoming Manji 2.0

So yes, you can only blame Israel (or rather the Zionists) for using this symbol in their flag

Because who, when seeing a manji today, does not see a swastika? (Same in the previous century)

Here you can only blame bad people for using this symbol, not people who associate it with genocide

Unfortunately, bad people kill beautiful symbols and well, all we can do is accept the day that we will have to abandon or change something, because bad people destroyed this symbol, and once it is destroyed, it is difficult to get it back, especially when it is fresh. thing…

Although it is slightly ironic that those who associated the manja symbol with the swastika are now struggling with the fact that David Star is associated with Israel… I know, trivial, but still a bit interesting

But okay, I'll leave you with this ironic paradox :V

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

They really expect us to be fucking stupid don't they. I still remember Charleston! I still remember all the fucking Neo Nazi gatherings! The people who chanted awful antisemitic slogans. The swastikas being flown proudly. The way people wrung their hands about punching Richard Spencer.

Where were the cops with their tear gas and non-lethals? Where were they? Where were they when a neo nazi shot and killed protestors? When one run over people with his car? Where was the gratuitous violence?

Why must we accept that violence against college students is necessary?

Stupid. Abolish police. No more tears cried for fucking dead cops. Evil, all of them. I know we're not supposed to describe a group of people as monsters.

But cops are monsters. They serve no use, and should be annihilated.

[eugenedebs1920]

This is not normal! White supremacists didn’t have boat parades for Bush! They didn’t have racist parading for Reagan. They certainly didn’t have Nazis marching for McCain! As a nation this heavy lean towards fascism needs put down in its beginnings. What was taken from you rarely is easily retained. Steps in that direction have imprinted the treads of fascist workings in our republic.

1. Undermine the legitimacy of the core foundations of a government. Make elections out to be shams or rigged.

2. Remove, replace or discredit a free press.

3. Delegitimize, the judiciary. Install your own.

4. Find a collective enemy to focus the nations problems upon ie. Immigrants, religious factions, race

5. Make this enemy seem less than human, disgusting and a threat to your way of life.

6. Insert a leader who boasts that he will save the nation, that him and him alone can solve these problems.

7. Create an atmosphere of fear. That if this leader isn’t implanted the nation won’t survive.

8. Create an us vs them mentality with your followers, framing it as good vs evil, right vs wrong. Placate to religious beliefs if possible.

9. Create minoritarian rule through extreme gerrymandering and electoral processes that increase the influence of the minority party. One where the numbers of votes cast doesn’t reflect the representation given.

10. Install family members in your administration, supplanting experts and professionals.

Guys, do you wanna see the worst of the worst of the mainstream media?

Newsweek sucks so bad. Check out this headline:

The implication of this headline? Trump supporters are all Nazis and Nazi sympathizers, of course. The evil Nazi Republicans are totally cool being associated with Swastikas and Hitler.

That's what they mean when they say that Nazis were part of the boat parade.

Here are all of the posts that Newsweek shared throughout the article while equating Trump voters (and boaters) to Nazis.

1.3 million views on this X post, by the way.

And this video from the Nazi boat.

100k+ views on this tweet saying that Republicans are Nazis and "not even hiding it." Pushed by Newsweek.

But buried deep within the story, among all of the videos and photos of the Nazi Trump supporters, we do get this sidenote.

The user then posted a video of Trump supporters on a different boat using its engine to splash the boat bearing the swastikas with water. The people on the boat with the swastika flags can be heard saying 'Sieg heil, heil Trump.'

Trump supporters actually got close to the boat and SOAKED them because they're a bunch of Nazi losers.

The user who posted the video said that they were probably Antifa infiltrators. Which, given the fact that half of the supposed Nazis in the country seem to be feds entrapping people, Lincoln Project plants, or Antifa posers seems like a decent guess.

Trump and MAGA have nothing to do with these losers.

But that won't stop Newsweek from their slandering.

Newsweek has contacted the Trump campaign via email for comment.

Yeah, because Trump has to individually condemn each and every loser Nazi who shows his face. You know, like how Kamala has to condemn by name each Hamas supporter who campaigns for her ... right? _______________________ __________________________

Not like false flagging is anything new.

Problem is legit nazis actually hate Trump, he's too friendly with Israel and Jewish people in general, including his daughter and son in law, for their liking.

Real question now is did those goons already have those flags and if so why.

I've really been around quite a lot this summer. Last Friday me and a friend went to Ornässtugan ("the Ornäs house") in Dalarna. It was built by a wealthy mine owner in the early 16th century and its loft served as a guesthouse. 1758 it was turned into a museum, which makes it the second oldest museum in Sweden. The exhibition centers around king Gustav Vasa and the stories of how he as a young nobleman came to Ornässtugan in 1520 when he was on the run from the Danish king Kristian II. The visit ended with Gustav fleeing through Ornässtugan’s outhouse with the help of Barbro Stigsdotter, the wife of the owner. Or so the story was told by the people, anyway.

What interested me, though, was all the magic and folklore that had been carved into the walls to protect the building. This was supposedly done because it lacked a fireplace, and fire is usually a good protection against evil spirits. On one door you could see that the wood had been burnt around the lock, to symbolize fire. There was also a sun cross, or swastika, carved beside the door (too bad the Nazis ruined this symbol forever).

An Open Letter Regarding the Holocaust Inversion & Blood Libel of the “Average Pace” Meme:

The person who shared the screenshotted post deleted it after I sent the following message. I truly believe they shared it out of ignorance & not malice; I cannot say the same of OP who created the graphic. I am sharing my deconstruction of its rhetoric & imagery here as a learning opportunity:

Nothing justifies the injustices Palestinians have faced, and what Netanyahu is doing is vile. No country should be above criticism, nor its leaders above condemnation, but this is not that.

What people like OP are doing is weaponizing legitimate atrocities to spread the antisemitic narratives of Holocaust Inversion (an offshoot of Holocaust Revision & Denial that claims “The new Nazis are Jews”) and Blood Libel.

And no, the fact that these libels are made in criticism of Israel does not absolve them of being antisemitic narratives that predate the existence of the State of Israel. As if to hammer in that point, that is not the flag of Israel that the creator of this agitprop decided to equate to the Swastika—that is the Magen David. That’s just the symbol for Judaism.

Worse, to impose the Magen David over images of blood (especially what is implicitly the blood of children) is a direct invocation of Blood Libel, the antisemitic accusation that Jewish leaders thirst for the blood of children. This libel has incited the mass slaughter of Jews since long before the Shoah, and is still being used to this day to incite violence against Jews through Qanon & accusations that Israelis drink & bathe in Palestinian blood.

And if it truly weren’t about the Jewishness of Israel, why would OP pick the Shoah specifically? There have been countless other mass killings in the world, many with much greater resemblance to Israel/Palestine than Jews in Nazi Germany (see: ethnic cleansings in Liberia & India/Pakistan for instance). Meanwhile, the only things The Shoah/WWII and Israel-Palestine have in common is people dying and Jews being present. So why specifically invoke the slaughter of Jews to criticize Israel if it is not about invoking the Jewishness of Israel?

That doesn’t even get into how cherrypicked those numbers are to the point the exact same “average pace” metric could easily be used (and in fact is, by the German far-right) to present the Bombing of Dresden by the Allies—a campaign that killed more than 25,000 German civilians in 72 hours in an area much bigger & less densely populated than Gaza with a fraction of the bombs that Israel has used—as comparable to the death camps.

This rhetoric does not aid Palestinians in any way. In fact it drags the movement down by providing ammunition that can be used to paint all criticism of Israel as antisemitic & give people who just hate Palestinians the casus belli they need to shut it down. The only thing it accomplishes is hurting Jews; it twists the knife in the wounds left in our community, it trivializes the Shoah by universalizing it or presenting it as “the lesser of two evils”, and it incites violence by equating Jews to Nazis.

Hi there everyone. Listen. I know we're all tired out by politics. But I think we need to do a little check-in.

In the two weeks since the election, a lot of crazy shit has gone down that you might have missed. Here's an incomplete list (color-coded to make it less of a wall of text):

Trump has nominated an alleged pedophile and sex trafficker to be Attorney General and run the justice department.

The House Ethics Committee, which had been investigating this new AG nominee for sexual misconduct, has just been blocked by Republicans from releasing their report on him.

He's nominated an anti-vaxxer, who once beheaded a dead whale and drove home with it, to be the new head of the Food and Drug Administration.

He's nominated a Fox News weekend host, who never advanced past the rank of major during his time in the national guard, to head up the freaking Pentagon.

He's nominated a senator who's made statements in favor of Russia w/regards to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and who had secret meetings with Syria's president (an ally of Iran and Russia), to be in charge of our intelligence agencies.

He's named white supremacist Stephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff.

He's confirmed his plan to send the military into our cities to do mass deportations, which will involve building massive camps along the southern border.

Neo-Nazis have marched through the streets of Columubs Ohio, shouting slurs and carrying swastikas.

Look. If you voted for the guy and thought, all that stuff he talked about doing wouldn't really happen — I get it. I really do. It's hard to imagine stuff like this happening here, in the country we all love.

And even if you still think he was the lesser of two evils and you made a hard call and stand by it, I'm not going to interrogate you on that. We all had to make our own calls in the voting booth and for many of us it was a hard choice. I get it.

But that was two weeks ago. This is where things stand today.

And I think that we all need to start preparing for a future where this guy and his cabinet of white supremacists, alleged rapists, unpatriotic sneaks, and grossly inept TV personalities are running this country, and Nazis are boldly marching with swastikas through the streets.

Because whether we like it or not, that's the world we're living in right now.

(Also if you haven't heard of any of the above before this post, which were major stories in the news over the last two weeks, maybe consider whether you're living in a media bubble that's stopping you from receiving essential information about your government.)

I witnessed All One Thingism in the flesh in Atlanta while reporting on the “Stop Cop City” saga. What began as a very specific protest against the construction of an expensive new public safety facility in a Georgia forest by environmentalists, police, and prison abolitionists got subsumed into “Free Palestine.” After October 7, anarchists marching in the streets of Atlanta increasingly donned keffiyehs, waved Palestinian flags, and held signs that said: “From Atlanta to Palestine” (which I believe is a fairly big 6,400-mile line).

There’s no better embodiment of this trend than James “Fergie” Chambers, the wealthy tattooed Left-wing heir in Atlanta. Last summer, Chambers helped bankroll the Stop Cop City movement with millions from his Cox family fortune and attended protests in person. Then, in December, he announced he was converting to Islam. He’s currently living in Tunisia and directing his big bucks into anti-Zionism causes.

And lest you think it’s just blue-haired college baristas with these views, consider the author with the worst book title of all time who recently posted among the most despicable Tweets of all time. That would be courtesy of Malcolm Harris, the author of S--- Is F---ed Up and Bulls--- and veritable Napoleon Dynamite of communist writers.

Earlier this month on X, Harris responded to CNN’s Jake Tapper’s report that the Pennsylvania synagogue he had bar mitzphaed at had been vandalised with a swastika. Harris didn’t condemn the anti-Semitic graffiti but indirectly praised it. The meaning of the Nazi symbol had been reversed from bad to good, Harris said, “from a Nazi threat to a condemnation of genocide.”

America is evil, Hamas is good, and swastikas are now woke. This is your brain on All One Thingism.

The Old Man Logan comic is a lot weirder than I would’ve expected. It starts off how you’d imagine with Logan as like a jacked up Clint Eastwood type living with his family in quasi dust bowl poverty while the world is shit bc the Marvel villains managed to score a huge win and wipeout all the heroes and divided the US between themselves with Red Skull being the President of it all I guess but Logan and his family live in the territory of the villain known as Hulk as in Bruce Banner is evil and also his minions are the inbred offspring of himself and She-Hulk. Eventually Logan’s quest for rent money takes him to DC where he was presumed dead and brought into Red Skulls trophy room and it’s made very clear this is full Nazi Red Skull and not just evil genius Red Skull because he put up swastikas everywhere and his soldiers all have swastika armbands and while I’m saying this it should be mentioned that one of the villain lords in the setting is Magneto who not only cut a deal with -Red Skull whose soldiers have swastika armbands- but also killed Scarlet Witch so that Red Skull’s alliance would win and just tells Baron Zemo that it better be worth it or something

How the reptilian alien conspiracy theory is antisemitism, in a nutshell

Since ancient times, Jews have been falsely accused of cannibalistic crimes.

During WWII, antisemitic propaganda depicted Jews as snakes and dragons.

In the early 1950s, George Hunt Williamson (an author with ties to American fascist William Dudley Pelley) wrote a book claiming that the swastika was a symbol used by supposedly good aliens, and described evil reptilian aliens from Orion in ways that sounded very much like antisemitic Jewish stereotypes.

In the late 1990's, David Icke claimed that the antisemitic hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was in fact true, only the evil conspirators were evil reptilian aliens. He claimed that Judaism was a lie created by the evil reptilians to create and manipulate the Jews, and falsely claimed that European Jews aren't even real Jews. (By way of the Khazar myth.) He claimed that these "fake" Jews are possessed and controlled by reptilian entities, who control and manipulate the world. (The Jewish banker myth with lizards.)

Depending on who you ask, these reptilians consume human blood, human flesh, adrenochrome, or human fear. These are all forms of blood libel.

There is a strong current of belief that these allegedly "fake" Jews must be rounded up and executed.

If those regarded as "real" Jews aren't considered inherently evil, they are expected to eventually convert to Christianity or New Age. (IE, stop being Jewish.)

There is a strong current of belief that anyone who refuses to convert to Christianity or New Age must be executed.

The conspiracy theory has strong overlap with QAnon (many reptilian believers are QAnons), which is also antisemitic and pushes toward a Christofascist government.

A part of me is terrified of what will it take for most of these "anti-zionists" to realize that there has been a large rise of antisemitism, specifically in the left.

Will it be another mass shooting at a synagogue, but this time done by an anti-zionist college student? Will it be another October 7th? Or even worse?

Idk what it will take for these people to realize they're being blatantly antisemitic, evidence won't work, and I doubt every single person here can get a check from reality.

Hi Nonnie!

I'm not sure there is anything that will make them recognize this left wing antisemitism, but more importantly, I don't think anything can make them care about it. Take the Holocaust, did the Nazis need its full scale to be published, to realize that Jew hatred was on the rise in Europe at the time? No, they knew. They just didn't care. It wasn't a problem. If anything, it was a good thing.

The anti-Israel crowd has cast Jews as the ultimate evil in their world view (powerful, rich, capitalist, white, colonizers, oppressors, representatives of the west), so at this point, antisemitism doesn't bother them (except they will still call it out when it comes from white supremacists, and they think this "proves" they're not antisemitic). It's not a problem to them, it's the "right stance" against oppressors. That's why they can look at Oct 7 and justify it, dismiss its horrors, or (when called out on the double standards they're employing to do the former) deny they even happened. And it makes them feel good, they think they're on the right side of history, and that this proves their moral superiority (just like the Nazis' antisemitism boosted their sense of racial superiority).

Oct 7 was... as extreme as I hope we'll ever see the Israeli-Arab conflict get. It was the single bloodiest day for Jews since the Holocaust, but also the single bloodiest day in the conflict. I went back and forth over every event in the conflict, and I can't find a single day that was as bloody as this, not on the Israeli side, and not on the other side. And the anti-Israeli crowd still don't care, showing it's not really about human life to them, or they would.

If Oct 7 didn't get to them, nothing done to the Jews ever would. Maybe if they'd end up being victimized by this same sort of hatred and violence, maybe that would change their POV, though I still wouldn't wish that on ANYONE, and I suspect some would be able even then to employ the kind of mental gymnastics that explain why what was done to the Jews was just, while what was done to them was wrong.

And in the context of the rise in antisemitism globally, outside of Israel, if they don't feel any symapthy upon seeing the vids of Jewish students having to barricade themselves inside a uni library for almost an hour, while an angry mob bangs on the doors, chants "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," and the Jewish kids have to wait for the police to get them out safely, or upon learning about the homicide of a 69 years old Jewish man just because he was out demonstrating, or care about the countless vids with testimonies from Jews the world over talking about how scared they are, or stop to wonder why are there swastikas at anti-Israel rallies, then these people are too far gone. They just don't care about Jews.

What I think matters is to relentlessly call them out on their antisemitism, to make sure they never forget they're vilifying Jews (and the Jewish state), and treating Jews with complete indifference when it comes to Jewish rights, safety and lives. I believe we need to make it socially unacceptable to treat Jews this way under the guise of being anti-Israeli, just like it is socially unacceptable to say they're gonna go "death con 3 on the Jews." And I think it matters that we keep talking to the people who aren't brainwashed, who do care about Palestinians lives, care about those for real (not just as a tool to attack Jews), and at the same time they care about human lives for real, so they're capable of feeling real empathy for Jews. It matters that we remind them, that true compassion takes both sides into account, and advocates for what is best for both in this conflict. And that this IS a complex conflict, one in which there are no clear cut villains, and no easy solutions, but we have to keep striving to make it better even when it's hard.

I'm doing my best. The more of us do this, the more hope there is.

Thank you for this ask, I hope my reply somewhat helps! Have a good day and take care! xoxox
