    Why do they keep saying "antisemitism," I don't see that on the lef-

    [NATO-flair] Speaking as another Jewish person, Antisemitism from the left is much more subtle. It is usually cloaked behind puritanical “social justice” and “anti-imperialist” rhetoric.

    Ah.

        The Zionist idea of what being Jewish means is not that far removed from the antisemitic idea of what being Jewish means.

            what is actually in Protocols? I always assumed it was absolute nonsense, just every inane "omg teh Joos invented black people to steal our Pure Hwaite Women and then when the :lmayo: Race is weakest they summon the Antichrist for maximum damage" white supremacist conspiracy theory wrapped into one, but I honestly don't know what it's about

            edit: I am not in any way, shape, or form suggesting that Protocols is something other than nonsense, I want to make that abundantly clear. But I would like to be able to better identify and understand when chuds are making more insidious arguments informed by systematic and organized antisemitic propaganda, or if they're just doing Q-tier ranting

        "Shame on you! You shouldn't kill brown people, not even a little bit! In fact, I think everyone should be banned from killing brown people, just because I think it's wrong!"

        r/neoliberal otoh believes that everyone should be free to make their own choices about whether or not to bomb Middle Easterners. Not like those lefties, who are basically indistinguishable from fascists, just trying to ban everything they don't like.

      Antisemitism is when the leaders of burger country doesn't bomb poor brown people at the other end of the globe and the less they bomb the antisemitismer it is.

    The idea that the solution to every problem can be derived from first principles while sitting in a chair.

    Lmao neoliberals seriously believe that marxism doesn't exist anywhere. Here's an idea: compare Cuba's and the US's healthcare systems and then tell me the problems are solved with the neoliberal free market lol

        yes thank you, and wait until neolibs find out that drone strikes end up creating way more problems than they solve

          more drone strikes means more dead children

          more dead children means more terrorists

          more terrorists means we need more drones

          which makes the market more money and the magic money line go up

          and then the world gets gooder

      also on what planet are fascists dry theoreticians? their whole shtick is a cult of action. they don't need to derive the solutions to their problems, they just need to aim and pull the trigger

        Fascists barely even have theory and what they have isn't relevant to any practice. It's just follow the leader and what he says. Usually the fash theory writers get executed or sidelined from the broader movement

    Top comment:

    Populism (not inherently bad and left populism is focused on lifting up the little people via creating equality not finding a Boogeyman like immigrants or w/e. Apparently blaming rich capitalists and poor immigrants is the same thing.)

    Antisemitism. Lol.

    Anti-intellectualism. Weird how I've read so much theory and I still feel like I haven't scratched the surface.

    Rejection of research fields they don't like (economics). Sorry isn't Marxism the critique of an economic system? Doesn't the left promote communism, an economic system?

    Vaccine skepticism. Literally just making shit up. I was fully vaccinated as soon as it was made available to me.

    Belief in conspiracy theories. Apparently the recognition that rich capitalists work in their own self interest is the same as believing in Q.

    Literally no thought was put into this. It's projection all the way down.

    Edit: I read further and you can't make this shit up folks. Bernie Sanders, a jew, is the most blatant antisemitic on the left. Lmao.

    Lots of people mentioning genocide denial, and most of those people's comments will be preceded and followed by them celebrating a hellfire missile tearing brown children to shreds
