So what you're saying is, I'm doing my taxes by paper this year because I don't want to owe $500,000 on a Hawaiian estate that doesn't exist. Great.

If you don't think this is happening already on the left, you are willfully naive.

There are MANY people happily making antisemitic insinuations and blowing antisemitic dogwhistles, some on purpose and some without understanding the history.

Israel is engaged in genocide, it is a genocide materially assisted by the US, and AIPAC is the biggest lobby pushing for that material assistance to continue.

AND.

We need to proactively address anyone trying to exploit these realities and justified anger to advance or engage antisemitism.

One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

As I told the Columbia Journalism Review, this swatting incident occurred just before I published an investigative report that unmasked the operators of four major neo-Nazi accounts on X. I don't think the timing was coincidental.

This is a great way of putting it, I always felt like the fundamental thesis behind the MaLe LoNeLiNeSs CrIsIs was "women ARE too uppity these days, but we can't just say that directly, so let's say Men's Rights". Like the Southern strategy but against feminism.

i think what some of you are concealing under all of this is that fundamentally you want to smuggle in /some/ degree of reaction against feminism, because fundamentally you agree with andrew tate that women are too mean now

like you can basically only believe this if you have literally never met more than five men

the satanic panic was focused on childcare. the mcmartin daycare was an infamous example of that, but many other daycares were affected, including here in brazil. society *had* to get women back in the home, and nothing really scared women like knowing their kids were in danger

the OG satanic panic was similar in a way. there had been a lot of groundbreaking research on child abuse, rape, and incest in the 70s, and that combined with some key stranger danger events in the 80s led to a MASSIVE hysteria. the biggest factor, however, was the womens rights movement
