German Nazism and the Origins of Argentine Anti-Semitism

🇦🇷 El antisemitismo organizado en Argentina no era desconocido antes de 1930, y ya había jugado un papel importante durante eventos como la "Semana Trágica" de 1919. Sin embargo, con la llegada del nazismo en la década de 1930, se intensificó el antisemitismo influenciado por la propaganda nazi y la llegada de miles de refugiados judíos europeos. Entre 1933 y 1945, Argentina recibió entre 35,000 y 45,000 refugiados judíos, lo que representó un aumento considerable en la población judía del país. La inmigración judía contribuyó al desarrollo comercial y cultural de Buenos Aires, aunque también provocó reacciones negativas en ciertos sectores de la sociedad, especialmente en el contexto de los movimientos fascistas locales. Durante las décadas de 1930 y 1940, el fascismo argentino se inspiró en los movimientos europeos y promovió una visión excluyente y antipopulista de la argentinidad, que, aunque no llegó a los extremos del nazismo, sentó las bases de un antisemitismo estructural y violento que se perpetuaría en las décadas siguientes, incluyendo la Guerra Sucia de los 70.

🇺🇸 Organized anti-Semitism in Argentina existed well before 1930, notably playing a significant role in events like the "Semana Trágica" of 1919. However, with the rise of Nazism in the 1930s, anti-Semitism intensified, influenced by Nazi propaganda and the arrival of thousands of Jewish refugees from Europe. Between 1933 and 1945, Argentina received between 35,000 and 45,000 Jewish refugees, leading to a significant increase in the Jewish population. Jewish immigration contributed to Buenos Aires' commercial and cultural development, although it also sparked negative reactions from certain societal sectors, particularly within local fascist movements. Argentine fascism, inspired by European movements during the 1930s and 1940s, promoted an exclusionary, anti-populist view of "argentinidad" that, while not reaching Nazi extremes, laid the groundwork for structural and violent anti-Semitism. This would later be reflected in events such as the Dirty War in the 1970s.

"but hamas is getting funded by extremist islamic hate groups!" do you think the U.S. government and military giving funding for israeli's war efforts against palestinians is a morally neutral and inherently righteous body that had no influence in the politics of southwest asia as a global colonial superpower. do you really think anything you can say about the people resisting oppression can't be said about the oppressors.

Reminder:

One of the core beliefs of Nazism is hatred of Jews, and one of its core goals is the annihilation of Jews.

You can have a pro-Israel authoritarian. Maybe even a pro-Israel fascist (though if you think all Israelis are inherently authoritarian or fascist, then that is by definition bigotry). But a pro-Israel Nazi is an ideological contradiction.

If someone says Israel or its supporters are Nazis, they are either an ignorant fool, or they are lying.

Specifically, they are employing Holocaust Inversion, a form of Anti-semitism which seeks to weaponize Jewish trauma against Jews, by equating them to their persecutors and destroyers.

One video clearly shows a Surface Launched AMRAAM missile falling and hitting a civilian building. This U.S.-made weapon is based on an AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) and is used by the much-touted NASAMS (Norwegian/National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System).

However, Ukraine's Neo-Nazi junta is insisting that the weapon in question is a Russian Kh-101 long-range air-launched cruise missile. The mainstream propaganda machine is also pushing the same narrative.

Me: Rings of Power is a bad adaptation and I wish people wouldn’t support it, or Amazon.

The ROP fan throwing a tantrum in my notes: No, it’s not! Tolkien was a hack anyway! He was racist! Don’t you know he was racist?

Me: Yes, I am fully aware of Tolkien’s racism and I think analyzing the various forms of racism and prejudice in his works is important. I also think it’s worth analyzing how ROP has been used to sanitize Amazon’s image. The company has faced multiple lawsuits for racial discrimination against employees and they also literally sell Nazi propaganda, and I think that’s horrifying. They shouldn’t get kudos for a diverse cast when they do stuff like this. What I find odd is that you’re expressing more anger over the racism of a dead white guy than the ongoing racism of an existing company that is destroying the earth.

The ROP fan: You’re a cultist who refuses to criticize Tolkien! You’re a Nazi!

Me: Hmm, okay, you’re just fully unhinged. Cool.

Today is the 83rd anniversary of the Babyn Yar Massacre.

Over two days from September 29-30, 1941, the Nazis shot over 30,000 Jews in Kyiv. Entire families were forced to walk down to the ravine on the "Road of Death". Around 100,000 people were killed at Babyn Yar during the Nazi occupation.

Babyn Yar is a terrifying symbol, showing that the most heinous crimes occur when the world chooses to ignore, remain silent, stay indifferent, and lacks the determination to stand up against evil. When the eyes of the world are closed, humanity loses. Babyn Yar is vivid proof of the atrocities that regimes are capable of when led by leaders who rely on intimidation and violence. —Volodymyr Zelenskyy

The site of Babyn Yar and its memorials (like the large menorah above) have increased in significance since Russia's full scale invasion. It was attacked in March 2022. The most iconic memorials escaped damage, but the main grounds suffered burnt and uprooted trees and damage to a building that was designated to be used for a museum (it had not been in use yet at that time).

After the attack in 2022, the chair of Babyn Yar's advisory board, Natan Sharansky said, "It is symbolic that [Russian President Vladimir Putin] starts attacking Kyiv by bombing the site of the Babyn Yar, the biggest Nazi massacre."

As Russia has frequently done, Sharansky said Putin had sought to "distort and manipulate the Holocaust to justify an illegal invasion of a sovereign democratic country." Russian propaganda has frequently called Ukraine a country of "neo-nazis" and that Russia's goal is to "denazify" Ukraine.

This isn't the first time Russia has tried to manipulate and erase history, especially when it comes to Babyn Yar.

"They physically tried to destroy these graves and delete the history, it's unbelievable how important it was for Soviets to change the nature of the place," Sharansky said. "There were so many attempts to erase Babyn Yar and change its nature, finally we turned it into a big memorial, and that is once again overshadowed by Russian aggression."

For decades under Soviet rule, the victims of Babyn Yar were only referred to as "Soviet" victims with no mention of Jews being the main victims. Finally, the large menorah memorial was erected in the 1990s under an independent Ukraine.

These photos show the Mirror Field installation to honor the victims of Babyn Yar. The memorial has visual and audio components to it that visitors can experience.

The main symbol is the Tree of Life, which is found in many religions and mythologies around the world. "The Babyn Yar tragedy shows how easily this tree can be destroyed, and its branches — broken."

This memorial is entirely made of stainless steel, with the main podium being a mirror disk of 40 meters in diameter accompanied by 10 reflective pillars that are 6 meters tall. "The columns and the disk were shot through by bullets of the same caliber that the Nazis used during execution in Babyn Yar."

Below you can find a 360 degree video of it here for an example of the audio-visual experience. To read more on this memorial and about the audio experience, you can read about it here.

Steven Universe: A Complicated Relationship

I’m starting to fall out of love with this show. I used to be obsessed with it and it was important to me as a way of figuring out my gender and sexuality. Yet, my relationship to it has become more complicated as of late. I’ve defended it myself and have been passionate about it, yet seeing the way a lot of stans have acted has kind of ruined it for me especially due to dismissing any criticism. This is not me saying I hate it or think it’s irredeemable Nazi propaganda but not everyone who dislikes it watches Lily Orchard and there are valid things to criticize about it.

There’s definitely bad faith criticism of the show such as flanderizing Steven into a crybaby with those Jack Horner/Hitler memes or claiming it was made to attack Christians but some people do have valid points. The episodes Bismuth and Gem Harvest may have not intended to come off as racist but one could interpret them as forcing people to forgive their abusers or bigoted relatives. As someone who’s Asian and knows about the way we’re represented, the way Priyanka and Doug were portrayed in the early seasons as tiger parents has not aged well.

One other criticism I’ve seen is that the show copies a lot of old sci fi or anime tropes without recognizing the issues with them or removing them from their original context. I and others have compared the show’s ending to the Highbreed arc from Ben 10 Alien Force. The difference is that the Highbreed were treated as supremacists who needed to be stopped, not as abusive family. People can debate over whether they should have gotten more consequences but they were not treated as dorky relatives. The only one Ben befriends was a low ranking officer who became the new leader and convinced the high council to accept having their DNA changed. There’s also the human zoo, another sci fi trope that’s aged badly with the racist implications.

The series is also compared to a lot of anime. There’s references to Ghibli, NGE, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball and many have compared the show’s idealism to that of magical girl shows like Madoka Magica. The difference is that those shows didn’t use subjects like colonialism as a backdrop for family drama. SW suffers from that as well especially with the rebels only wanting to restore the old liberal system while taking imagery from the Viet Cong. People who wanted a revolution story weren’t necessarily wrong as that’s what the early seasons did set up.

Some will accuse me of fandomizing the war but I’ve noticed a lot of the hardcore stans are white queers who support Israel or demand complete support for democrats. Not saying every SU fan is a bad person btw. There are a lot of decent people who are anti Zionist and like the show but a lot of these pop progressive cartoons as well as SW, Disney and Marvel/DC are used by people with gross beliefs to infantilize themselves and dismiss any criticism from POC fans. If mainstream kids media is where you’re getting your all political takes from then maybe you do need to branch out and watch more mature stuff. Watching NGE helped me grow up a lot and learn nuance.

As a recap, I’m not saying SU is a bad show or that people are bad for liking it. It was important for my own development as well as a lot of lgbt youth and was a jumping point for a lot of my current interests such as classic anime or Lisa Hannigan, who’s an amazing musician and is pro Palestine btw. Future did help me a bit with mental health yet people are allowed to dislike it or find that even if it wasn’t intentional, there are some implications that should be addressed. I don’t hate it and there’s some stuff worth defending in it but it’s not the greatest show ever and people who get all their politics from it need to grow up. Between it, TOH, Dead End and She-Ra, I think a lot of the pop progressive media that we have today will not age well and that’s something we need to accept.

You gotta let poc determine whether or not for their own safety to be around or forgive former neo nazis. You gotta trust poc when say that most of folks can't even recognize nazi rhetoric

You gotta understand that I am not actually able to write every single thought I have on a complex issue in the tags of a tumblr post. There isn't enough space. So here is a very bare bones but slightly longer explanation:

No one, POC or otherwise, is obligated to be around or forgive former neo-Nazis. Nor are you required to be best friends with someone who was once part of a group that wants to cause you harm--shockingly, as a disabled trans person from a Romani family, the idea that neo-Nazis want to eradicate whole populations is not news to me.

However, it is also true that telling someone "no one outside your in-group will ever tolerate you no matter what you do" is exactly what controlling groups (like neo-Nazis) tell their own people in order to keep them there. That language is how you get people who don't agree with an organization but are too terrified to leave. You are not required to do anything with that information, but it remains an observable fact about how high-control groups work.

For me, personally, I am willing to move past someone's past actions if they are taking concrete steps to make amends for harm done. The operative phrase there is, as I said previously, "taking steps to make amends."

That doesn't mean you have to do anything.

Imane Khelif had to fight to participate in boxing because her father did not approve of boxing for girls. She had to sell scrap metal to afford the bus fare to a neighboring village where she could attend training sessions.

Lin Yu-Ting took up boxing to protect her mother from domestic violence.

They should be enjoying Olympics like any other athlete but instead are faced with vile racist, misogynist and transphobic abuse, I feel so bad for them I hope they’re safe :(

i reblogged a post where someone decide if trump died america would suddenly be "cured" and china would "back off taiwan" and "russia would fall to ukraine" and like ya'll gotta fucking stop that shit. you guys truly have to stop this liberal nonsense. the fact that person thought all these "ills" would be cured by trump dying is fucking ridiculous but also the fact the genocide of palestinians wasnt even a consideration needs to start clicking with people.

Why would they think so much about this mythical taiwan invasion that hasnt fucking happened, and a war america has been pushing to start for literal decades(not singular since i was a fucking child), but the mass murder of palestinians, and congolese people didnt even come up? or the mass displacement of sudanese people?

whats the link there? would you like to hazard a guess?

its shit america fucking wants! trump biden, fbi, cia, up and down the whole system. stop fucking uplifting the rabid fucking imperialist.

STOP DOING AMERICAN PROPAGANDA FOR FUCKING FREE

trump is literally only evil to you guys because he has no decorum nothing else, biden has his fucking platform you absolute ghouls.
