So a new guy shows up to one of our public meetings yesterday, after maybe 20 minutes calls someone who he disagrees with a "zog bot"

I tell him not to call people that, bc "zog" originates in neo-nazism and anti-jewish conspiracy theories, say we can talk more after the meeting if need be

He slams his fists on the table and yells "ok zog bot" throws papers on the ground and storms out yelling "no god damn free speech! Zogs got em, zogs got em!"

Yeah, beyond the actual spread of these fascistic ideologies, it’s concerning how a lot of terms and ideas from them get adopted in the mainstream (sometimes in the name of irony, and other times not)

The antisemitism is particularly noticeable, and it’s really uncomfortable seeing how much of it has poisoned the wells of a lot of vaguely left or pro-Palestine discourse online

    It's part of the weird cultural export that 4chan does, I think. Why you also see lots of "-oid" suffixes and such, too.

    I think the well-poisoning happens mostly because losers like badempanada, who were already antisemities, now see a "justification" for it and lean into that. Kinda sickening.

    Yeah I'm also skeptical of anyone that uses that -oid suffix when talking about anything other than geometry.

    Had a friend use the "well well well" and "noticing" dogwhistles without realizing their meaning. Don't like how these things are becoming mainstream

    I hadn't heard of either of these, what are they?

    Noticing is when you "notice" that people in high positions are often Jewish and therefore control the world. Well well well is something people say when a minority embodies a stereotype. In the case of Jewish people you mostly see it when a Jewish person is greedy or a pedophile.
