REASONABLE PERSON: a lot of people don’t understand how antisemitism works + that’s a problem on the left, since it leaves us open to fascist creep 32-YEAR-OLD CHAPO FAN: hope u stretched b4 that reach, my dude, fuck IDPOL [flips down sunglasses, skateboards away]

You are doing a lot of calling out here and I wonder what your ultimate goal is. Do you think people like Christman are going to alter their behavior? With respect, I think any type of public shaming of individuals is bound to backfire.
The point is to ask people not to engage in casual antisemitism. Literally, that’s it. I don’t think the Chapo crew will ever apologize for casual racism and antisemitism— it’s their bread and butter, telling white men not to change their behavior— but I think others might.

I ask this in totally good faith, I dont care about the chapo guys, but I have seen the lizard people trope used a lot casually, particularly in older Contrapoints videos. Was it just unnoticed or why was that different?

Good question! I try to read generously but context matters. It wasn’t *just* the lizard people thing. It’s the fact that he dropped *four* different antisemitic tropes in the same tweet. This wasn’t an accident. Christman is intentionally referencing the Jews here.pic.twitter.com/rrz2lktfqI
