re: #141 CuriousLurker

Do y’all remember last week when VB said someone on Twitter called her a “fake Babylonian” and I went off in search of more info and found this?

It kept niggling at my brain because Timothy had asked VB if it was some kind of white nationalist crap and that reminded me of something I’d read in the Blood and Politics book I’ve been (slowly) making my way through. Yep, sure enough it was in there. Timothy was right, it is indeed related to aspects of white nationalism/supremacy.

It apparently started out as something called British- or Anglo-Israelism, which is tied in with (justification for) British colonialism. Being that we’re a former colony of the Brits, the bad crazy was passed on.

TBH, I had trouble following all the twists & turns of their pretzel logic—it’s kinda like listening to Alex Jones—but in a nutshell it’s basically, “We white Christians are the Real IsraelitesTM (descendants of the10 lost tribes) who will get blessings from God, and the modern day Jews are actually fakes, who’re going to be punished for backsliding.”

I know many of the atheists among you consider all religions to be equally weird & nonsensical, but this stuff is wayyyyy out there…
