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.
