Not America, however as the second link notes... anti-Semitism from Russia is in America.

Half of Russia' Jews Flee Russia Since Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

Quote"This new situation for Jews in Russia is becoming more and more dangerous," said Pinchas Goldschmidt, chief rabbi and president of the Conference of European Rabbis and the exiled chief rabbi of Moscow.

Approximately 50,000 Jews have emigrated from Russia to Israel since Vladimir Putin's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and about 30,000 more have left for numerous European and Middle Eastern countries, Goldschmidt said during USCIRF's March 15 event titled "Russia's Invasion of Ukraine: Implications for Religious freedom."

Goldschmidt said he decided to leave Russia so he could continue to monitor and criticize the Kremlin's increasing persecution of Jews — an activity that is now illegal in that country.

"We are worried about the state of the Jewish community there. Not everyone can leave," he said. "We can definitely call the Jewish community of Russia today a community in distress."

Russia's Involvement In Global Anti-Semitic Ideology

QuoteA global Russian disinformation operation faked the websites of a number of prominent and even internationally renowned news outlets, among them Israeli websites in Hebrew and even a Jewish American newspaper, as part of the Kremlin's attempt to advance its war efforts against Ukraine.

The operation was revealed Tuesday by France and was attributed by French authorities directly to "Russian actors" and "state entities (or entities) affiliated with Russia that participated by amplifying false information." The statement by the French Foreign Ministry is an escalation of Western efforts against Russia's information war.

...

Israel has frequently been targeted alongside other states by Russian disinformation efforts. However, this seems to be the first time that content aimed at Israel was also aimed at American Jewry. There were at least three forged Jewish Journal reports, including one about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's attack on Iran "harming Israel" and possibly another about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. 

Dubbed operation "Doppelgänger" due to the high quality of the forgery of the different news sites, the operators of this campaign succeeded to create almost perfect replica of its targets: the design and aesthetic of the websites were seemingly identical to the original legacy outlets, and their domain was "spoofed" to lend credence.

To get back to the American-centric theme...

Pulitzer Prize Winning Holocaust Comic "Maus" Increasingly Being Banned in America

QuoteRight-wing culture warriors pushing restrictions on classroom instruction sometimes defend these measures by insisting that they avoid targeting historically or intellectually significant material. In their telling, these laws restrict genuinely objectionable matter — such as pornography or "woke indoctrination" — while sparing material that kids truly need to learn, even if it's controversial.

A new fracas involving a school board in Missouri will test this premise. The controversy revolves around Art Spiegelman's graphic novel about the Holocaust, and it indicates that those seeking to censor books seem oddly unconstrained by the principle that they are supposed to avoid restricting important, challenging historical material.
"It's one more book — just throw it on the bonfire," Spiegelman told me ruefully, suggesting the impulse to target books seems to have a built-in tendency to expand, sweeping in even his Pulitzer-winning "Maus" under absurd pretenses.

"It's a real warning sign of a country that's yearning for a return of authoritarianism," Spiegelman said.

...

It's not yet clear what the employees found objectionable. But "Maus" — which illustrates Spiegelman's parents' experience of the Holocaust and features Nazis as cats and Jews as mice — graphically depicts his mother naked in a bathtub after taking her own life.

"She was sitting in a pool of blood when my father found her," Spiegelman said of his mother. It is a "rather unsexy image seen from above," he noted, and "not something I think anybody could describe as a nude woman. She's a naked corpse."

While kids in Missouri cannot be offended by having to see animal-depictions of Nazis abusing Jews, meanwhile in Florida...



Recently saw several armored personal carriers being moved into the Austin-San Antonio area... I figured they were on the way *elsewhere*, but I wonder now if it's preparing for the domestic terrorists that live in our local foothills.

Learning the far right - people like this - had working 120mm howitzers and 70s-eras tanks within 30 minutes of my house was probably around the time my sanity broke and I just accepted all this as normal.

Really worth reading, it just gets worse and worse as you go.




These are just the guys not invited to the party - those men are the ones that worry me.

You ever notice how most of these proponents of "the master race" aren't exactly ideal specimens themselves? A fine tradition going all the way back to ol' Adolf, I suppose.

Right? Any way to gain some higher ground, I guess, though it is pathetic.

I recently was watching this video on Nazi race theories; it struck me that you have to both simultaneously an absolute rocket scientist to understand it, and yet simultaneously dumber than a bag of dull rocks to think it makes even the remotest bit of sense.

The guys at the top, to an extent anyways, seemed to be in on the gig; they knew it was all nonsense, but it gave them power. A mix of true-believers and opportunists.

If you ever forget why education is so poorly funded and maintained... video if anyone wants to see it. It's... dumb. It's a good video, but it's "flat earth" levels of nonsense.

Your average conspiracy theory, basically. I remember running across a video trying to tie together ancient aliens, the Nazca lines, Atlantis, Lemuria, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, Bigfoot, Flat Earth, a bunch of other shit I can't even remember, and it was just... the most complicatedly stupid thing I've ever seen. Like, I can't even pick it apart because there's so much wrong  with the stupid thing that I don't even know where to begin.

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

In today's epsiode of, "How Can We Reach A New Low In American Politics", Democrat (in name) RFK Jr. implies that the Corona Virus was designed to specifically protect Jews and Chinese people while harming whites and blacks.

The guy is a fool. Sad to say, (way too) many people believe such foolishness.

I just looked at the data to see if there was any truth to that.  Largely, covid kills fairly indiscriminately, (though as is typical, more impoverished and less white populations have had more deaths, likely due to less healthcare access).  Even so, asian americans are killed noticeably less, even when you adjust for age.

Imho, there's a pretty simple explanation for this.  East asia notably experienced the bird flu outbreak (and several others since) and thus mask-wearing became a more culturally-ingrained practice there.  And obviously, some asian americans have friends/family in such countries and likely to be more predisposed to don the mask than...*cut to maga people freaking out over masks* ...others.

White Supremacist Nick Fuentes Calls for "Holy War" Against Jews

Quote"We're in a holy war. And I will tell you this: Because we're willing to die in the holy war, we will make them die in the holy war."

This is what neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, who had dinner with Republican front-runner Donald Trump less than one year ago, said at an "America First" rally in West Palm Beach on Sunday.

"They will go down—we have God on our side—and they will go down with their Satanic master," he continued. "They have no future in America. The enemies of Christ have no future in this world."

DeSantis campaign deletes video after Nazi images found

Whoops!  I guess they just kind of forgot that they're just supposed to (((dogwhistle))) that stuff.  Cause that ad imagery was so overtly indicative of fascism that I would assume it was meant as a parody, not as sincere praise.

Truly the intellectual superiority of the master race is unquestionable; it is utterly inconceivable that this is not the peak of human rationality and capacity for rebuttal.

Also - average Twitter checkmark under Elon Musk :) - either anti-Semitism, Christian Nationalism or culture war bullshit.

Again, who *ever* could have seen that coming.
