2 months agoIt’s actually so shocking and concerning how normalized and acceptable antisemitism has become in just the last 2-3 years. Maybe I’m too online, but I’ve seen way too many TikToks of regular people casually believing antisemitic conspiracies like them controlling media, owning most businesses, etc. This might be too niche of a reference, but there’s this popular underground rapper named Boolymon and his lyrics have so much casual antisemitism in them (“Won’t let these Jews control me” “Jews run the news boy I thought you knew”) and no one bats an eye or even mentions it (and if they do mention it they’re supporting it). I remember when this stuff was fringe and now it’s everywhere
Antisemitism is 100% the biggest obstacle toward class consciousness right now and it’ll only get worse in the future. It’s ridiculous how “normal” it’s becoming among regular people, and how these talking points are becoming accepted in leftist spaces. I’ve seen leftists say stuff along the lines of “well we shouldn’t be antisemitic, but it’s true that a majority of capitalist owners are Jewish and that Jewish Americans are the richest demographic in America” like no we don’t have to concede false statistics to the “#noticers”. Protestant Anglo Saxon CEOs and upper middle class Indian American households would like a word with you
