      I just quote tweeted a virulent antisemitic tweet which had the tone of the far-right but alleged goal of far-left. Wanted to see if anyone familiar with & understood mentality behind it coz even if you accept horseshoe theory, doesn't make sense to combine the two discourses.

      I'm now convinced that it was a faked outrage-provoking tool. Nothing else explains the inconsistency of style & motivation. So I shouldn't have quote tweeted it. And have now deleted and blocked. Sorry. Am naive sometimes & tend to think everyone sincere. Pls block him

          Faked outrage? Interesting. Doesn't hate make sense to the hater? Ben Shapiro is a civil bomb thrower and public figure with an agenda. Is it any wonder that his right wing rhetoric would come under attack in a political caricature? Peace, I'm thinking out loud.

          I'm not surprised by the hate but it doesn't ring true. Knowing the ideology and psychology behind right-wing antisemitism and behind leftwing antisemitism & the different ways they use language & imagery, this doesn't strike me as real.

          It strikes me as someone who doesn't understand those very well trying to create something that will cause anger. It was like when ppl put up posters saying "Don't walk your dogs here. Muslims don't like dogs." It is plausible fundy Muslims would say that but not in that language

          They'd cite the qu'ran and speak of uncleanness. That was someone trying to rouse anger at Muslims.

          Not so sure it's just a troll...anti-Israel/anti-Zionist/antisemitic rhetoric is definitely on the rise on the left. Look at some of the shit Corbyn's supporters post.

          Yes, but look at the language of it. It doesn't look like this.

          Blunty King's recent poll referencing Farrakhan's antisemitic 'termite' tweet and connecting it with Shapiro is another similar instance.

          You certainly get that language from the Muslim right but they're not usually that keen on the SocJus causes either. I accept there is some acceptance of them by SocJus tho. Oooh! I wonder if this is my stalker!

          That's how I'm seeing it - feminist 'allies' that are supporting the Palestinian cause and have been brainwashed into believing Israel is the source of all evil. For some reason, they're more focused on that than actual feminism.

          It seems inconsistent because it appears to be the right mocking someone on the right, but for the antisemitic far right, Jewish people are never thought to be sincere allies and thus the attempts to demean and discredit them.

          Sorry, I was trying to help clarify but just ended up adding to the confusion. I missed the context of who posted it and thus misunderstood what you found puzzling. That account is super sketchy, I don't think any rational sense can be made of their thinking.

          Lol, you can only remain on the left when you think everyone is sincere. Just something I’ve started to realise. Unfortunately. (I’m not on the right but more on the libertarian side now)
