Many, many right‐wing conspiracies—again, directly or indirectly—can be traced back to antisemitic tropes. Whether the particular iteration has replaced the word ‘Jew’ with ‘banker’ to make it more socially acceptable, or, perhaps, a concept or story has been so abstracted from the original that it’s actually what the person saying it understands it to mean—words like ‘globalist’ or ‘élite’ &c.—but regardless of what the person or messenger understand the message to be, this is ultimately where those messages come from: antisemitism, and one of those antisemitic tropes is blood libel. We’re going to look at that.

ETA: To be honest, I now regret sharing this video. The author made a video about the supposed ‘Red-Brown alliance’ and he defended solidarity with the Ukrainian army on the grounds that not all of them are neofascists. I should have watched the entire video and checked out his channel before sharing this, but I was in a rush to get something out and this happened to be in my calendar for today. Sigh… oh well.

    It seems pretty well researched, but he seemed to group all “populist” groups together kind of displaying a kind of liberalism. Also he traces things in terms of tropes in an idealist manner like a liberal rather than a materialist.

    Thanks. Now I know about British Israelism and how absolutely insane their worldview is. Its a way to square the circle of worshiping the god of the Jewish people that protects the descendants of Abraham, yet not be Jewish. The people that call themselves Jews are not really Jews. We are the real Jews. LOL.

    Their god allows “chosen people” to enslave and genocide others. They are truly a blight upon this earth.
