https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazars

quote:

19th century saw the emergence of the theory that the core of today's Ashkenazi Jews are descended from a hypothetical Khazarian Jewish diaspora which migrated westward from modern-day Russia and Ukraine into modern-day France and Germany. Linguistic and genetic studies have not supported the theory of a Khazar connection to Ashkenazi Jewry. The theory still finds occasional support, but most scholars view it with considerable skepticism. The theory is sometimes associated with antisemitism and anti-Zionism.

quote:

The Kazar hypothesis was further exploited by esoteric fascists such as Miguel Serrano, referring to a lost Palestinabuch by the German Nazi-scholar Herman Wirth, who claimed to have proven that the Jews descended from a prehistoric migrant group parasiting on the Great Civilizations. It was used to justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, spreading via Telegram.

The garfieldeats business is dead. Covid, wild mismanagement, and landmonsters. killed the physical restaurant. The business itself limped along for a while mostly as a fantasy/idea while in reality it was just Nathen selling mail-order frozen lasagnas to people in Canada.

Viacom bought the rights to Garfield licensing from Jim Davis at some point I guess and things were ok up until someone sent Viacom something embarrassing Nathen was doing online (probably that video of him making out with the giant stuffed Garfield) and their lawyers dropped the hammer on him, revoked his license and hit him with a C&D.

Since then he has rebranded himself as “Nathfield” which would still not pass the smell test in court if anyone at Viacom cared (no one does). Nathen is now making insane podcasts” which are really just radio plays with voice actors because he couldn’t afford an actual animated show on his allowance

He still runs the Garfield EATS Twitter account and posts through it as though he retained the license, usually to boost his personal tweets; but literally nobody in the world follows Nathen on social media, so nobody's threatened him over it so far.

Summary of podcasts:

Nathfield is a weird anthropomorphic (totally distinct) orange cat who is horny, loves cheese and owns an orange suit endowed with supernatural powers by God.

He’s going to use this suit to murder online trolls and save the world with the help of an androgynous angel/fairy named Gaby. The angel/fairy particularly dislikes a pig-man named Bill who stole a wheelchair from a social worker and is also an online troll.

That’s uh…pretty much it. There have been 3 episodes so far and that’s all we’ve been given to work with.

I don’t think Nathen is insane tbh. He’s more like GOB Bluth where he has lived the life of a rich failson for so long he has just totally lost his grip on reality. It’s definitely a flavor of crazy but not the kind you should feel bad at laughing at.

Between all that are many micro-lores, such as fork jail, or using the GarfieldEATS to expose lurid truths such as "the kid who worked here sometimes used weed"

And then there's the misogyny and antisemitism which ranges from run-of-the-mill to bart poo poo insane

I mean, not really.

Like any of Nathen’s takes on pop-culture, the Velma thing is boring and vaguely racist. The “tell all” thing literally doesn’t happen. The angel/fairy explicitly says she won’t do this.

Is there some hot conspiracy theory around about the Khazars that Nathen just heard about or something? I think that's the third time he's mentioned them lately.

I'm almost curious enough to want to know more, just to see the impressive leaps in logic and lack of intelligence required to conclude that a semi nomadic khaganate that hasn't existed for a millennium is not only still around but also spending their time bribing Madonna and working against Andrew Tate. I guess they meet once a week or something to make sure they're all of one mind. But from other comments in the thread I can already tell that it's just going to be something like "some Khazars converted to Judaism, therefore Khazar = Jewish."

I’m sure people in Andrew Tate’s orbit are big into this theory, and being Arab he’s probably also exposed to it from less savory elements of that culture.

All this Khazar bullshit is just another cycle in the carousel of racists trying to stay ahead of public awareness of their terminology. Once Khazar becomes a well enough known dog whistle, they'll move on to something new. As it stands, it carries absolutely no special meaning, you can just substitute in Jews.

I wish God would give Nathen a good shake, or maybe a few dozen, as necessary. Nothing seems to phase him notably (Nathen I mean not God), including losing his beloved GarfEATS license, the complete failure of his dating/marriage ('TV contest show') attempt, the lack of both job applicants and customers for his useless eGeez operation, and getting only a handful of likes on average and even fewer comments for each of his social media posts in spite of his supposedly "WORLD FAMOUS, MILLIONS OF READERS!!!" presence on multiple platforms.

Maybe a large corporation could hire him to fire people (which methinks wouldn't phase Nathen much if at all), on the conditions that he otherwise shuts the gently caress up completely on company time and doesn't post about them or mention them in media interviews.

But I guess, as has been stated ITT, Nathen doesn't need a job or more money (due to Daddy warbucks or whatever), so why bother even attempting anything vaguely useful (except for facilitating random entergagement).

Anyway God bless him, thoughts and prayers.

If you're reading this Nathen, pls ask us for a free (a gift from us to you) forums membership so you can post here, we are always fascinated by your output, in one way or another.


tl:dr: Do read it, it's an entergaging post I swear.

Edit: Had misspelt entergagement as entergement. (Which is spookily close to 'engorgement'. But I doubt anyone here has cracked a fat or got a girl boner at Nathantics, maybe if he dropped the racist conspiracy "theory" BS and didn't have such a disturbing stare... or beard.)
