If true, this is domestic terrorism. We’ll see more of it.

Tonight, there are unconfirmed reports coming out of Moore County, NC of three substations being shot up with firearms simultaneously to cut power to a drag show. Reportedly, nearly 40,000 people in Moore County are currently without power.

Look, Israel has no greater supporter than me, but the American Jewish question seems especially relevant right now. Are we really sure about their loyalties? I’m just asking questions.

And as long as we’re just asking questions, it’s probably at least worth asking about the influence of all those Jewish bankers and doctors and lawyers…? I don’t like the way Kanye is saying what he’s saying but you have to admit he’s making some interesting points.

I keep thinking about this and it really bothers me. He’s saying blanket condemnation of Jews is wrong but we should have a “conversation” about those Hollywood Jews. You know, the ones who control the media.

December 2, 1926 | Aga Gershkovich, a Ukranian Jew, was born in Vilkhovitza.
In May 1944, she was deported to #Auschwitz. Most of her family was murdered in the War.
Aga survived, and today is her 96th birthday. Please join us in wishing her a wonderful day!

This is the kind of bullshit we're in for in the coming months/years: flipping the term "antisemitic" on its head and using it as a cudgel when somebody is called out for Jew bashing. Antisemitism is *not* a blank term. It describes something very specific, bias against Jews.

Replying to @michaelianblack
Antisemitism is a blank term used to demonize anyone that calls a jewish person out on their mistreatment of "gentiles".

This is the mainstreaming of antisemitism as a legitimate political belief system.

Steven Crowder on Kanye: "he's not wrong about everything. Look, is there a conversation to be had about people with Jewish last names exploiting people in the performance arts? Yeah!"

The only Ye could make that new logo more offensive to Jews would be if he added a cup of mayonnaise.

...and I condemn former President Trump for dining with them?

Kanye’s remarks are abhorrent.
I completely condemn them and anti-Semitism in all of its forms. There is no place for Kanye, Fuentes, or their views inside the Republican Party.

Ye, 12/1/22 on the Alex Jones Show: "I like Hitler."
Quote Tweet
Back from the Jewish holiday now. As usual, two things can be true at once: Kanye's moves toward pro-life, faith, and family conservatism are encouraging; his "death con 3" posts and Black Hebrew Israelite language are clearly anti-Semitic and disturbing.

So many alarmists observing our government come across as paranoid but the more I learn about the people actually in our government the more I think the alarmists aren’t paranoid enough.

Twitter is now doing an awful thing where it’s just showing tweets from people who my followers follow. Not even tweets they necessarily favorited, just random-ass tweets. No thank you, Twitter. No thank you.

The virus metaphor is apt, but the one I think about the most recently is the "raptors testing the fence" one from Jurassic Park. They are always testing, looking for a way in, and of course Trump just flung the gate wide open and let them on through.

It's also no coincidence that Ye's antisemitism comes after his very public embrace of "Christianity." The Christian Nationalist right, which is the dominant force in the GOP, will eventually come after every minority group in the country.

Something I should have said earlier: the trend here is all the more dangerous because we're seeing a seamless blending of the fringe right with the mainstream right. There is very little space between Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson. The difference is only presentation.

The instinct when somebody is invited to your home is to make people comfortable, to be civil, to have conversation. When your guest has no interest in adhering to those expectations, you're going to get rolled. Which is exactly what happened to Lex and Tim.

Having been an interviewer myself (see: "How To Be Amazing"), it's VERY difficult to invite somebody onto your show in a non-debate, non-journalistic format and have an effective way to push back on rhetoric because you've essentially invited somebody into your home. 1/2

Replying to @michaelianblack
I think it’s fine to invite people like that on if you intend to push back on that rhetoric. Considering who this guest is, it probably would have been smart to set those expectations ahead of time. Ye clearly was expecting agreement or to just be platformed not debated.

They do it with trans people and Muslims and immigrants, and now they're doing it (again) with Jews. It's all the same thing and it's all pernicious, and it's going to end up getting more people killed.

So Ye can point to successful Jews and say "See? They're the ones pulling the strings," and there will be a fair number of impressionable young minds who feel defeated by the system and who will find, in his finger-pointing, a satisfying explanation for their own frustrations.

The world doesn't make sense to a lot of people (including me), so it's no wonder that a lot of us are tempted to look for simple explanations for our own unhappiness/alienation. Jews are an easy target because there are so few of us and because we ARE integrated into the culture

So easy to blend antisemitism with UFOs and ancient archaeology and vaccine denialism and all of the subjects "mainstream experts" don't want you to know about because it fits with a paranoid worldview that excludes regular chumps in favor of an elite global conspiracy.

And the reason Ye's garbled message is effective isn't because of *what* he's saying but because he's traveling in the caravan of the "just asking questions" crowd, which holds so much appeal for authority-questioning young white men...

The reason Milo and Nick Fuentes are hanging out with Ye is they - correctly - see him as the most important tool they've ever had at their disposal (plus the fact that Milo is an attention-seeking whore).

Lex Friedman got rolled by Ye and now so did Tim Pool. They put themselves in untenable positions for clicks and end up mainstreaming antisemitism. Whatever your actual intention, when you invite hate on your show you elevate hate.
