The crying "History" button at the top right sends its regards. Yes, the World Jewish Congress has published a report that demands Wikipedia add a feature to view the history of articles, see what actions were performed by whom, and "host forums and discussions within the Wikipedia community to address concerns about neutrality and gather feedback for policy improvements". It also wants to force all admins and above to reveal their real names.

This isn't racist, this isn't about fucking Jewish people, except 'hey fucking stop speaking for a bunch of people you have basically no connection to, many of whom fucking hate you'.

This is about a bunch of literal Hitler apologists larping a piece of shitty antisemitic czarist propaganda with real genocide, and I don't care if it would be racist to say it about Jewish people, which I'm not convinced these assholes even are. Every sliver of effort spent being precise about 'well we don't know for sure' is like immediately contradicted by one if these vicious shitty little monsters making a shitty rap narrating the war crimes as they do them live on video.

And I think invoking racism here is potentially a bad faith tactic. I'm genuinely worried about the racism these monsters are normalizing for people who believe their shit about not only being Jewish, but speaking for all Jews globally, which I'm pretty sure isnt even a real thing except in aforementioned shitty antisemitic propaganda they're literally treating like a checklist.

You said they're drinking blood! They aren't fucking drinking blood. It's not about being precise, it's about you spreading racist messages. Blood libel is a real thing spread about Jewish people, and it's fucking racist.

Also, saying you don't think they're real jews is just a no true scotsman fallacy. They are jews, though they don't represent all jews. Every sufficiently large group has evil people in it.

The thing is, the reason it would be racist to say that about a human of Jewish ancestry/heritage/religion does not apply to these rabid fucking fascist ghouls, because it comes from a book they're larping. Like, on purpose, I'm pretty sure.

I just said it because it was a comically awful flourish, which theybe probably dobe because theyve done in just the past week literally every atrocious thing you can think of and a lot you hopefully cant, but you pointing out that its a shitty negative stereotype makes me think that's why they would do it in a more official capacity. Like how they poisoned all the water they couldn't steal. When I say "LARPing 'protocols of the elders of Zion'" I'm not being hyperbolic; it genuinely looks like they're doing that, but with real victims.

And I can't be precious and sensitive to irredeemable monsters that genuinely seem like they're trying to do a 100% speedrun of every possible atrocity. They probably are doing it, because they're doing every bad thing they can think of, according to their press releases, on purpose with full knowledge.

And the 'not Jews' thing isn't based on them being awful, but about an argument they once made about why it was okay to do some awful shit to other Jewish groups. Also the fact that they're mostly literal Hitler apologists who(se grandparents) tried to literally participate in the holocaust. Also the fact that all the, for example, foods they say are theirs, are things they stole from Palestinians, not things they got from their ancestors.

Them claiming to speak for all Jews is just super fucking racist and awful and probably going to get real probably-innocent people, some of whom I'm kind of attached to, killed by well intentioned idiots. Hopefully not too many. Unrelated, not no-true-scotsmaning. Fuck em; fascists don't get to have identities anyway.
