re: #116 The Ghost of Senator Incitatus
Thing is, he probably did “just realize it.”
Lots of folks are swimming in a pool of
hog-pissinformation where they’re no necessarily presented with a notion outright, but are prodded toward that concept by precursor notions.For example, wingnuts are primed for anti-Semitism by their sampling of conspiracy logic that hearkens back to the Elders of Zion, but also by the long arc of supersessionism and the notion the Jews just ain’t quite right, and also by the trend of racializing “Communism” as a kind of twofer damnation-by-association. There’s probably other things that are proc-ing them that I can’t think of right now.
Yeah. Just in case you were thinking the Jews weren’t gonna be in the crosshairs of fascism this time around, that it was gonna be the Muslims’ turn in the barrel.
