Fellow American Jews, it’s time to get your game faces on.
Something happened this weekend. There was a change in the wind of antisemitism. It’s stronger and more pervasive than I’ve ever seen in the US, and it’s coming from major figures in the popular culture.
The economy is dog shit.
The election was a cluster-fuck.
Our currency is worth less by the day.
There is a palpable air of pessimism about the state of our nation.
And when things get bad, people like to blame the Jews.
In recent America, overt antisemitism was unpopular. Now it’s being normalized.
The way Kanye West’s antisemitic rants were taken by the pop culture was very differently than Mel Gibson’s over a decade ago.
Then Dave Chapelle backed them up on SNL.
Even if you’re one of the many people, Jews included, who have the opinion “that’s just the sort of shit that gets said in comedy clubs all the time, don’t have such thin skin.” Chapelle gave license for other more hard-core antisemites to come out of the woodwork..
The amount of chatter on the internet about how the Jews control everything, are destroying our nation, and punish anyone who says anything about it is as loud as I’ve ever seen it.
I recognize this chapter from the history books.
What is coming down the pipe is very bad.
Be prepared.
If you don’t have a gun, guns, lots of guns and a shitload of ammo, rectify your situation.
Get lessons. Learn to shoot. Practice.
You will need it.
Yeah… calling out the actions of Progressive billionaires is loudly denounced as antisemitism, whether the billionaires in question are Jewish or not.
Actual bashing of actual Jews by members of Progressive-endorsed identity groups is just peachy and not the least bit antisemitic, oh no indeed.
And, just the past couple of years, I’ve been seeing old-school “right-wing” antisemitism crawling out of its coffin. I know, it’s always been there, but all my life it’d been confined to the lunatic fringe.
Pretty soon, it’ll be mainstream on both sides of the aisle.
