Writer’s like Ioffe say yes, look at history, look at what happened to my family, why we ran, look at what happened when Putin did this very thing. And you ignore it all. Or worse whattaboutism WRT “leftists” who have no power, no megaphone like POTUS.

You refuse to see the link because you don’t want to. But the link between conspiracism and hate is old. Voltaire said, “those you can make believe absurdities will commit atrocities.”This is the predictable outcome of mainstreaming conspiracy which is what Trump has always done.

I’m rubber and you’re glue eh? Didn’t read the Marcotte article I just posted? Fine. Two questions. Do you know what blood libel refers to? Do you know why the white supremacists in Charlottesville were chanting, “the Jews will not replace us?”

It’s a little embarassing how poor medstuds can be on history. Maybe they are getting too much STEM. I mean, we literally have to expose him to the idea that hateful rhetoric from leaders results in dead people - and in particular the Jews for the last 1000 years.

It’s like you know the words but not what they mean. How am I moving goalposts? The point remains the same. CTs are hateful rhetoric, hateful thetoric from powerful people inspires violence. You can’t predict how or when - it’s stochastic. Trump did this. He is culpable.

The modern white nationalist movement is now almost exclusively focused on nonwhite immigration. This is their issue and how Trump incites them with this talk of the caravan. The “replace us” CT refers to the belief that powerful Jews like Soros are funding nonwhite migration.
