I don't think this is actually the correct interpretation, because it's too historically specific, in it's linking it to communists. The primary function of anti-semitism, is to contextualize all social problems as stemming from an eternal other, which both:
  • gives a simplistic little narrative that you can try and wrap up history in, all in a bow.
  • Fits into a worldview that supposes all action, historical or otherwise, is the 'will' of some agent: history itself as animated
So everything 'you don't like' is a conspiracy, by conscious 'bad guys'. No other explanation is needed. And there's nothing 'you don't like' more as a racist white guy, than black guys fighting for their rights, so clearly this is some kind of conspiracy.

In a rare moment of good sense, CNN has kicked neo-Confederate Jeffrey Lord to the curb. While I'd bet he'll end up a commentator on FOX, I could see him ending up working for Breitbart or shilling directly to the chuds.

And lol that we're talking about the Nazi belief that Jews use black people to oppress whites without anyone referencing this respected 1980 documentary.

PJW has been banned from Facebook and most of his videos have been demonetized by youtube.

Word is a lot of pro-Trump youtube has been hit with demonetization including Diamond and Silk.

I think we are heading into a scenario where some tech bro like Peter Thiel makes the right-wing equivalent of youtube.

I had a look at their site and the ads are investment guides, online budget clothing, world of warships (in German), and antivirus software. I wonder if the business is even sustainable on those type of ads, and aren't relying on large donors. They don't seem like the type of ads that could support a streaming video platform and pay content producers a comfortable income. Besides, if you paid streamers like freelance bloggers, you couldn't produce enough videos to earn a living wage.

a ton of right wing activity is funded by the kochs and other conservative millionaires once you scratch a bit past the surface

think tanks, policy groups, whole pacs funded by one or a handful of people, and it wouldn't surprise me if some of the more toxic media is funded through grants from some shell as well

yes but that anti-semitism manifests in a historically contingent way. it doesn't simply spring from the foreheads of people; it must be propagandized and linked to developments and circumstances in history. i believe that prior to the first red scare (conflating bolshevism and judaism for americans) this conspiracy theory (Black people are catspaws for Jewish people) was not really a thing in the usa

the abolitionists wanted to end slavery but were not organized around the other principles - ending segregation, self-determination to Black americans, full political social and economic equality among the races, etc. were all planks of the communist movement (and not other political movements) between the civil war and ww2.

Be that as it may, the communists had an explicitly anti-racist platform that sought to confer equal privilege to all people and overthrow white supremacy. Abolitionists wanted to abolish slavery, but very few of them were interested in black equality, desegregation, etc. Frederick Douglass even called them out on it. http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/what-to-the-slave-is-the-fourth-of-july/

I don't know much about it.

I was under impression that the abolitionsts, and the religious institutions (quakers) that promoted an end to slavery, were actually on board with equal rights. Although I'm sure that's a far cry from what we see as being not racist today.

an excellent example of why this is less true than we'd prefer it be is liberal cause celebre Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton proudly funded an awful lot of abolitionists in precisely the same sense Adolf Hitler proudly funded the people promising they'd one day make a Kingdom of Israel in Palestine: he definitely did, there's receipts to prove it, and nobody on the face of the planet buys that it was out of any affection for the people in question.

for a very long time donating to abolitionist societies was the genteel way to shout gently caress THE SOUTH, and as good ol Alex "all executive, legislative, and judicial power should be concentrated in one man, whose name if possible should be Alexander Hamilton" can demonstrate there were a lot more reasons than thinking slavery was inhumane to do so.

:rolleyes: i said overemphasis. i have no problem with id pol but when your be all end all is obsession with it you're missing the point. the civil rights movement wasnt just about race, it was also about workers rights. mlk marched with city workers not just because they were black but because they were working poor in need of support. he worked not just for african americans but for poor americans of all races. he spoke out against the vietnam war. you cant tell me the civil rights movement was just about race because no movement is just about one thing. its an amalgam of struggles. this is why liberals lose. they use race as a lampshade for regressive policies that help nobody but the wealthy while leaving out the poor.

If identity politics were just about civil rights, then they wouldn't have been exploited by white nationalists who internalized the idea that their race identity should form the basis of a new polity. It's a much more complex issue than you're implying, and while Darkman's post wasn't exactly eloquent, he's clearly not talking about civil rights.

i mean if you're gonna try and make some dough going the alt right route is a good idea to go seeing as the alt right very much buys into the "consumption = activism" belief system. they're really no different than neoliberals in their thought process.
