Tensions over right-wing antisemitism have burst to the forefront of Republican politics, and show signs of becoming a fierce point of contention in the midterms and beyond.
If your party can’t figure out that it’s opposed to Hitler, you’re not in favor of the United States.
There is a lot of pro-Hitler anti-Israel propaganda going around right now. Just to give you an example of what I mean; I recently created an account on tik tok so my wife can share videos with me.
I have only followed cat video accounts basically, and the few times I have caught myself scrolling eventually I’ll come across some idiot enthusiastically shaking their head up and down while an AI-translated version of one of Hitler’s speeches plays in the background with a caption like “I know he did some bad things but he’s kind of making sense!!1” or some shit like that. I don’t even know how to process that, honestly. Especially since it’s usually a normal looking woman in the video.
Now that I’m thinking about it, I think some bad actors could easily be taking clips from these people and adding the audio and caption themselves to get some simpletons to swallow up that toxic messaging a little easier.
Social media is such a ridiculously great tool to spread propaganda it’s scary.
I’m trying to get my wife off of there because it really feels like brain poison, but it’s a slow process.
