exactly, and over that time they have reconstructed their symbolic order to be totally incompatible with anyone else's. if you want to "defeat" them, mocking them won't work. convincing them definitely won't work. you have to ignore them and attack the forces of alienation and deprivation that make people vulnerable to cults in the first place.

I think a lot of the appeal of hoteps is just white people's fault for lying about history. A lot of lies are told about African history, and certain stages of Egyptian civilization were provably Sub-Saharan African.
When Black people are endlessly attacked for acknowledging these facts, a very natural inclination would be to disregard anything said by whites altogether
Furthermore, liars and charlatans can easily attract these people to their insane ideas by combining bits of the controversial-but-somewhat-true facts (stuff about Egypt) with batshit insane stuff (like the Israelites were Black, anti-Jewish sentiment, etc). People are lured in by the first stuff, end up accepting everything wholesale, and now you have a bunch of Black people who think they're from Palestine (or that they were Native Americans)
I'm not Black, but I can see where the "fed-upness" could come from, because SNOWTEPS do the same thing to every other race of people (claiming that Genghis Khan was white, that whites were Native Americans, claiming to be "Aryans" and/or "Caucasians", both of which are COMPLETELY FALSE but are widely accepted as truth because most people really have no idea how fucking brainwashed they are)
it's just a shame that every race can't seem to see that they share the same common enemy and that all of the problem stems from the very simple reality of "white people having tons of money and leisure time, and everyone else none"
again I'm not trying to excuse these people for their anti-semitism (which has no basis in reality) but I can very easily see how the frustration (which is something no white person can ever experience) can lead to wholesale rejection of mainstream thought, with unfortunate side effects like this
what's disturbing is there's several of them. this is a cult that goes back to the 1890s

i'm aware
redditors really think hoteps sprouted out of the ground as soon as kanye set foot on info wars.
source? I never knew it went back that far
