    to add to this, with this context, “the zog powder they sell to you” becomes a blantantly antisemitic conspiracy theory: Jewish people are feeding you crap (in this case, gatorade) to keep you weak

    yes it’s ridiculous nonsense, but that’s how dogwhisles work.

      Definitely. On top of that, bullshit like this contributes to the muddy waters when you have legitimate critiques of zionism and the government of Israel. But I’m sure the white supremacists know that when they create this bullshit so they can make potential recruits feel like more people agree with their horseshit.

        I’ve definitely seen some people trot out terms like ZOG in discussions about Zionism or the Gaza genocide. Always skeeves me out.

        One of the problems with what Israel is doing that nobody wants to talk about is that it gives these Nazi chuds oxygen in leftist spaces.

          100%, Israel itself is the greatest threat to Jewish people worldwide. The false claims of antisemitism allows actual antisemitism to spread where it would have been stamped out otherwise.
