Greenblatt: "I’m thinking about the New York Times doing a gauzy profile a few weeks ago of this gamer, Hasan Piker, who regularly employs awful genocidal rhetoric against Jewish people and the Jewish State. Extremists should not be empowered. People who spout prejudice should not be platformed. This is a moment when we need to look ourselves in the mirror and say ‘We’ve got to stop this because the consequences are deadly’. "

    A shooter cites great replacement theory pushed by Fox news as the reason for performing a mass shooting at a mainly black grocery store -> not related to Tucker Carlson

    A shooter cites palestinian suffering for reason for shooting Israeli officials, cites examples of injustices from over 10 years ago when Hasan wasnt even a thing -> this is because of Hasan

      Like I said in another post, we’re rapidly coming to a point where being a fascist is more socially acceptable than being an anti-fascist and that shit is by design.

        I think we passed that point a long time ago. Heather Heyer was killed in 2017 and many Americans found that acceptable. They were “both sides”-ing the literal nazis at that rally and the anti-fascists who showed up to counterprotest. Anti-fascists were blamed for riots about George Floyd’s death and not the pigs who killed him.

        Like remember when Biden was all “We should shoot anarchists in the knees?”

        The re-nazification started in 2014 when the great replacement theory became mainstream, then with the Ukraine war when azov became smol bean and whitey thought it acceptable that ukrainians got to have swastika tattoos as a small treat because of evul ruzzian hordes, what is happening now is the fruits of someone’s very hard work.
