I don't think its fair or responsible to compare in any way that Republican nut-job to AOC's agenda.Originally Posted by Flixy
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
I do agree there. Although it's fair to compare, in order to conclude how much crazier the GOP fringe is.
Yeah, but I didn't know it was Jewish! I thought it was reptilian..

Believe it or not the reptilian stuff is rooted in an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

I'd say; enlighten us. Because I have a bit of a hard time seeing the connection. I'm familiar enough with most code words covering for a hate for Jews, but I have a bit of a hard time seeing an obvious similarity between them and what amounts to colonization of earth. Merely sharing a general purpose seems a bit thin to me.

In Icke's conspiracy fantasy, the Rothschilds—and others—are shape-shifting blood-drinking reptilian monsters who control the world. It's just a modern (well, now retro) antisemitic blood libel.

Just including Jews in the group of reptilians doesn't make it anti-semitic. The vast majority of the people he thinks are reptilians aren't Jews.
From what I read about his ideas the Rothschilds are mere bit players in the big game. Usually the mere mention of their name is enough to make me suspicious. But with Icke it seems more like an equal opportunities madness.
Congratulations America
Lizard conspiracies predate Icke and have obvious parallels with antisemitic conspiracy theories. But also, Icke is definitely an antisemite.
For example:

If you really want to dig into this there's all sorts of scholarship tying antisemitism to various tropes that are copied by the current Icke conspiracy theory: blood libels, shapeshifting, equating to animals/nonhuman/subhuman, covert control of financial and political institutions, etc. And it's not exactly hard for their followers to put two and two together:

Eh, I feel a bit stupid now. I obviously was distracted by the role of the Rothschilds in the theory, and somehow missed the drinking of blood of blond blue eyed children. That leaves little to no room for doubt. In my defense, all I knew about reptilianism was that it involved Elizabeth II being a leader amongst them.

That's okay, it's hard to keep track of all of the batshit ways that people think Joos are out to get them.

It turns out that was just a case of mistaken identity. She's not reptilian at all, she just looks like one.

Not sure anti-Semitism is the right label here. Presumably they wouldn't hire any non-Christian. Probably not any Catholic either.
Hope is the denial of reality
It's funny because I have a religiously observant Jewish friend who has taught for years at Catholic high schools and colleges and found the nuns and priests 'got' his religious observances and schedule much better than secular institutions, and they respected him for his committed observance. But these were not elite academic institutions and they were just happy to have a competent and committed teacher.

And then there's the Illinois religious college that fired someone for wearing a hijab and saying the Christian and Muslim gods are the same.

I suspect it has a lot to do with the personnel, institutional culture, etc. I've been entertained to see the reverse situation, where secular or gentile staff at religious Jewish schools and universities have some serious culture shock when they go down the rabbit hole.

It's possible they're equal-opportunity bigots, but the behavior and comments of the other staff, the bacon-trap, etc. suggest there's also a more specific element—and that they go out of their way to give Jewish applicants a tailored reception. Regardless, what a fucking place. Nobody's gonna name and shame, with the job market being what it is.

For what it's worth, the guy ended up in a top program. Don't tell Dread I said that.
I've heard of lots of horror stories from Evangelical colleges. And they seem to be getting worse in the past decade.
But even Notre Dame gives hiring and tenure preference to Catholics.

How can Trump be antisemitic if he loves Israel? QED libs.
These people are fetishists. Evangelicals are creepy ass fetishists.

His daughter is Jewish.Also Trump is certainly not an Evangelical.
Did you have a point?

How could I possibly be a misogynistic pervert my daughter is a woman my wife is a woman even my victims are women
The point is that the Senator who pushed this ludicrous antisemitic argument—equating a focus on Netanyahu's and Israel's interests with not being antisemitic—is a creepy Evangelical fetishist. So are you, obv. Trump is thegoldenorange calf of these creepy Evangelical fetishists.
