I’ve got a theory as to why the online left seems increasingly into the Khazar myth, which used to be the fringiest of far-right antisemitism (at least among white people—it was also popular among NOI/BHI, but I’m not touching that one).
For reference: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar_...

The conclusions in this thread (which you should read all of) about the role that Cultural Christianity has to play in the perspectives of so many Westerners toward Jews and why theories like this are so popular on the left nowadays, are completely accurate and something I’ve struggled to describe.

in other words, this was 15 years ago when it was still unambiguously socially acceptable to portray a clear confederate analogue as evil in fiction

yeah i never watched the Zygerian arc on Clone Wars before, it’s very funny that the slavers expressly are MZGA (Make Zygeria Great Again) and Yoda looks at the camera at the end of one episode and basically states that the Sith are pro-slavery bc of right wing ideology

Indo-European linguistic connections like this are so cool. So too, "pur" or "puri" (British spelling, "pore") in many place names in India, e.g., Jodhpur, Jaipur, Kanpur.
Another example: "knowledge." Greek "γνώ" as in gnosis, Sanskrit "ज्ञा" as in jnana, and English "kno" as in know/ledge.

Of all the European far-left political movements and parties, Spain has the most deranged and extreme. The people who came out of the splintered Podemos movement. A Stalin worshipping lunatic asylum. And the current Spanish government is in coalition with and has to pander to some of them.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

The “do with that what you will” really adds an extra layer of vileness. The way they play their word games of “I’m just asking questions” or “well there ARE people who do [insert stereotype]” indicates a level of specific malevolence that we don’t often address.

It's an example of the "it's easier to attack a heretic than a heathen" phenomenon. You already assume the latter is an enemy anyway so no point attacking them, but calling out someone who should be your ally is far easier and theoretically more effective.

There are two reasons people do this:
1. Hating Dems is "cool" and "hip" and the way to show that you're totally savvy and part of the in-group; and
2. It's just kind of assumed that the torches and pitchforks are already out for Republicans, so why actually bother to take them out?
Both are dumb

Exactly this. People are too quick to get out the torches and pitchforks for Dems and not quick enough for Republicans l.
I’ll reserve judgment after I see how things shake out. After all, y’all were ready to burn Ketanji Brown Jackson at the stake just a couple of days ago.
