Not to sound like a
user but this might have been enough Internet for me for the day. I’m not online anywhere else so I have no idea how much traction things like this get in the mainstream, and it gives me anxiety to think about this being a popular opinion in real life.Their barbaric “enough internet for today” our enlightened “touching grass.”
”just criticizing [p]Is[s]rael but never any other nation in the world”
Leftists are well known for never criticizing countries
It’s ridiculous how quickly liberals will jump to whitewashing fascism. When Hitler ran, he lost, and it was an economic liberal who appointed him as part of what amounted to an anticommunist coalition. Furthermore, those who did vote for Hitler (and we can say those who voted for Nazis generally, since even the “left wing” was just using a different framework to condemn all Jewish people), the Holocaust’s specific form was undecided but Hitler was screaming in Mein Kampf about the need for Europe to have no more ethnic Jews, and “the Jewish Question” was a standard element of political discourse where basically any member of the Nazi Party would give you this or that reason to reach the same basic conclusion.
So they are telling two lies pulling in opposite directions – exaggerating Hitler’s popularity and then absolving his supporters – where the only real commonality is whitewashing fascism. It’s seriously just Nazi apologia.
Reminded of this convo from “The Alliance that never was”
The Soviet press attaché, A. A. Smirnov, was at the German foreign ministry on July 31x and met the deputy head of the press bureau, B. von Stumm. Germany had “no aggressive plans against the Soviet Union,” Stumm said.
“We haven’t forgotten what Hitler wrote in his book [Mein Kampf],” replied Smirnov.
“Ach, that,” exclaimed Stumm, “there’s a big difference between what is said and what is done in practice. The book was written in prison, a long time ago, hastily … what’s written in that book is out of date, and we shouldn’t take it seriously.”?? But Mein Kampf with its visions of eastern conquest was never far from the Soviet mind.

Fascists get so used to dealing with liberals that they forget communists can actually notice patterns of behaviour.
The Nazi belief that if you don’t approve of our genocide it must mean you want to genocide us.
No we cannot just stop doing genocide its clearly us or them! People of different religions or ethnicities can never live together!
My response (if I wasn’t permanently banned again from Twitter for threats of legally justified homicide*):
Howard bofa deez nutz lmaooooooo gottem
These people have gotten so hysterical that it’s laughable. It’s “boy who cried wolf” stuff at this point.
yeah it’s blurring the lines between reality and satire i can’t tell it apart anymore
like legit i fear some frothing zionist is going to take matters into their own hands and murder him in his home
Yeah, when people are saying someone is Hitler and an “existential threat” to Jews, if you believe these claims, the logical conclusion is to kill that person. It would be inexplicable if there were no attempts on his life, unless the Dems shut him down so effectively that people decide he’s not a threat after all.
This is Holocaust denial.
Pretty much all zionist derangement syndrome bleeds into straight up antisemitism in some way or another. Saying someone is worse than hitler for opposing the zionist project of genocide is whitewashing the actual crimes committed by the fucker.
Because zionism is a crazy antisemitic ideology
no saying hitler oopsied his way into killing millions of innocent people in death camps is holocaust amplification actually. somehow.
“I can excuse Hitler but I draw the line at criticizing Israel”
It’s going to be really funny, (if more than a little undesirable), when all this nonsense blows back on them and actual anti-Semites vote overwhelmingly for Mamdani
I was wondering how long it would take to get into “soft holocaust denial” territory, I guess the answer is less than 24 hours.
As soon as a zionist opens their mouth about Weimar or Nazi Germany, you get at minimum “soft Holocaust denial”.
at least hitler kept pizza under $1 per slice 🙄
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
It’s so perfect that the meaning of the yellow ribbon has been replaced with something maybe even more fash. I can’t believe that they didn’t just pick another color, since vets (etc.) are like the highest sacred cow in the country.
Wait, what do you mean? What fascist shit does it represent, other than veterans?
It has recently been re-appropriated into representing the Israeli hostages. If you watched the Mayoral debate, that’s why a bunch of them had yellow ribbons, not for veterans.
Ohhhh. I had no idea, didn’t watch that.
Fuck it, yellow ribbons suck all around.
This was the whole media class when Bernie was doing kind of okay in 2020 lmao
Ya this whole reaction is giving me major flashbacks.
Hey now, I’m pretty sure they made that guy apologize for the central park thing
“I think killing Palestinian children is bad” is apparently the same thing as “I want to genocide the Jews” apparently?
No, it’s worse
Apparently!
Apparently
South Park caption: “This is what Zionists actually believe”
I honestly do not believe that they actually believe that. I think they’re operating purely on bad faith when they say that criticizing Israel is antisemitic. Especially because, when someone is actually antisemitic, most people just call them nazis.
You’re right that a lot of them are bad faith, but I honestly think more Israelis and people overly-close to Israel (i.e. have the sort of fried brains where they think Qatar is a state sponsor of Islamist terror directed at Israel) do sincerely believe that, because they believe in an equivalent of the Great Replacement. They earnestly believe that Jews need to be kept a majority in Israel because an Arab majority – where those Arabs also have civil rights – means that the Holocaust 3 begins (2 being October 7)
Honestly I think it may be the case; I’ve seen zionist Jews chiding anti-zionist Jews calling them fake Jewish people; Ben Shapiro has certainly made the claim that if you’re not a zionist you’re not Jewish.
As an anti-zionist Jew I turn that shit around in them and call them kapos and nazi traitors
