      Quick thread on reptilian overlords and Antisemitism. A couple people have pointed out that "reptilians" can be an Antisemitic dog whistle. I'm really just playing the reptile thing for lols, but I should acknowledge that most conspiracy theories have an Antisemitic tint to them.pic.twitter.com/x0SXasKpU9

      My reading of David Icke is that he literally advocates the idea that shapeshifting reptilians from outer space rule human societies. But it is definitely in the field of family resemblances of other Antisemitic tropes.

      "Bloodsucking" in particular rings an Antisemitism bell, brings to mind the "Jews drinking Christian blood" trope. Note, however, that "bloodsucking" is also a metaphor Marx uses for capitalists, whom he describes as vampires sucking the blood of labor.

      Now there's arguably also an Antisemitic slant to Marx. But things get complicated here, because Antisemitism is so prevalent that there's an Antisemitic variant of just about every political orientation.

      A leftist Antisemite can dog whistle Jews as "bankers." A rightist Antisemite can complain about "Cultural Marxism"—Marx, Benjamin, Trotsky were Jewish, that's pretty suspicious.

      My personal feeling about the lizard thing is that it's not predominantly Antisemitic. But definitely it's something to be aware of, keep an eye on.

          Any metaphor for capitalists potentially risks this association. E.g.https://twitter.com/TheHorrorMaster/status/816486706186596352 …

          THEY LIVE is about yuppies and unrestrained capitalism. It has nothing to do with Jewish control of the world, which is slander and a lie.

          I think lizardpeople relate to antisemitism the way flat Earth relates to young Earth Creationism. They aren't stcitcly the same, but they're slippery slopes to them propped up intentionally by the members of the more dangerous version to lure dumb people into the slide.

          Yeh, David Icke is an anti-science woo pushing fruit loop. However, he resonates with a lot of peeps because his world view has a kernel of truth to it... But I don't think he's anti Semitic. When he says lizards, he actually means lizards lol... 🦎

          The reptile has been used by counter-revolutionaries to describe democratic power. Hobbes asks how to bind Leviathan to work for authority. Jones (who uses lotsa Scottish Rite rhetoric) isn't talking bout capitalists when he's talking about lizards, he's talking bout democracy.pic.twitter.com/ioeX4EiZxe

          Well, you said yourself that the point of dogwhistles is that they don't immediately seem like what they are and they co-opt symbols and attitudes that are already common Many of the biggest figures pushing the Reptilian thing are definitely using it as a dogwhistle though
