    You see, Epstein is actually a plan from Putin to undermine the West! Just like Trump is. And global warming. And your aunt Tracy who drinks two bottles of wine a day and derails every family meeting you have. It’s all Putin.

      we need to stop making jokes because this sort of absurdity can never be properly replicated or exaggerated to its fullest ends by anyone outside of bourgeois rag publishers. they have a monopoly on this by sheer skill, no joke from politically literate tankies can achieve the same ends as reading a few time magazines or bluesky tweets or lib facebook posts that boil down to “everything, absolutely everything in the world, is created by putin”

        I don’t think it does any of us any good not to discuss things freely.

        I want to edit and add to this. I don’t understand why discussing Jewish racism is ok and not Jewish supremacy, in general. I understand the fear of a Jewish panic and crimes against people simply because they are Jewish, and that is a real possibility that we should also discuss, as well as how best to circumvent it. But ignoring problems haven’t had a great track record for making them go away.

          If you don’t understand the dogwhistle then you shouldn’t be nuance-mongering. The word “noticing” is an antisemitic dogwhistle about Jews being responsible for all the world’s ills.

            I wasn’t aware of this. I did a search and “know your meme” elucidated. Thanks for telling me.
