@conduitbiscuit@thesoypill@WhickTv@PiscoLitty Hasan isnt nick Fuentes he's not making up strawmen of jewish people or questioning people he disagrees with of being secret jews.
The jews making other jews look bad are everywhere in the news.
hasan has no need to conflate when other jews do it for him which makes him right.
I don't see this as antisemitic at all.
He's saying that if American Jews tie their identity to Israel and their actions, people are going to take their grievances with Israel's horrific actions out on American Jews.
And he's saying it's a bad thing.
The same way Muslims got blamed for 9/11 except they didn't even tie themselves to Al Queda.
@Ryan26Mr@JakedChinatown No it would be a nice thing to say but it would be true.
You seem to be caught up on the feeling or how polite the statement is but my only concern was wether or not the statement was true.
I haven’t changed. I believe in liberalism, human dignity, and democracy more firmly than I ever have before.
I oppose powerful special interest groups like AIPAC because their influence distorts our democracy. AIPAC has poured money into MAGA insurrectionists and far-right politicians when doing so advanced its goal of unlimited American support for the extremely illiberal policies of Israel.
I oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank because I believe in human dignity, sovereignty, and basic human rights … not because I’ve suddenly abandoned liberalism and become a Marxist.
I believe in markets, equality, democracy, individual liberty, and strong liberal institutions. And because I believe in those things, I oppose human rights abuses and attempts to undermine democratic institutions … regardless of who commits them.
@jonathanchait Except the Nazi's where lying about the what the jews did.
If jews really were controling the world and the reason germany lost the war and had to pay reparations and the reason the german people were economically injured then hitler wouldn't be as bad. (Still bad just less so)
@Pangburnian@KyleKulinski Ok so i read a couple of the "bottoms line" and im so unconvinced.
I guess if you wanna take the "internaliszed racism" approach its fine but then in this context the word "antisemite" becomes "maybe kinda if not careful and taken the right way could be seen as a racist."
@Ryan26Mr@JakedChinatown I agree but this isnt about moral worth.
By better i mean less bad.
Sort of like- its less bad if a wealthy person suffers from depression because they have the resources and potential free time and lack of responsibility to properly adress it compared to a poor single mother.
@EndWokeness When has the right ever said that?
Listen i'm not going not going to get on my high horse and say the left does say this because we dont, but come on lets be honest here, the only people who say this are the centrist.
@Ryan26Mr@JakedChinatown I think everyone would agree a pedophile going to a dirt poor country too molest children is worse then them doing it in their own country. Maybe? I feel like even consequently speaking hurting someone of equal status is less harmful then hurting someone of lower status.
The problem with the idea that "less wealth inequality" or "universal healthcare" can stop the far-right is that MAGA is a phenomenon of perceived status loss, cultural displacement, and identity threat. It's not wholly, per se, material wellbeing.
And status is a zero-sum game.

Conservatives, Centrists, and Liberals: OH MY GOD. I CANNOT BELIEVE HASAN PIKER WOULD MOCK CHARLIE KIRK BY SINGING THAT SONG!!!
Hasan for the last year:
The same conservatives crying over Hasan singing a meme song were openly celebrating the murder of American citizens
These people don’t care about anything
