    Let’s search “Jew” and “Jewish” and see the type of comments he actually made:

    brainwashed Zionist logic, which is: Israel the state = the Israeli population, and the Israeli population = the Jewish people. This is racist ethnonationalist logic. Israel is a state, not a people.

    [Goblins of Harry Potter] are based on antisemitic stereotypes.

    Illuminati conspiracy theorism is closely linked to antisemitism (“Illuminati” is basically a euphemism for “the Jewish Cabal”), so the idea that they are deeply involved with the hip hop industry is essentially just a cocktail of antisemitist and anti-Black racism

    [Conspiracy subs] lack class-based analysis and it keeps them stuck in a hall of mirrors (until the fashies come along and start steering them towards the Jews and the queers)

    After a terrorist threat against Jewish people in his city:

    Is there anything non-Jewish people can do? Are there any events planned or something to show solidarity?

    Is there anything non-Jewish residents can do to help??

    Under a Bakunin post:

    I do not buy the “his faults were common for his time” apologia, in any circumstance. … It doesn’t matter if 100% of the people in a given society were antisemitic; they should all be consigned to the dust bin of history and none of them memed. If they wrote some nice things, we can read them critically, take the ideas, and leave the rest. … This guy saw Jewish people as a threat to the rest of humanity. For those who are directly threatened by those views, and for those who care about them, this meme, uh, doesn’t exactly hit the same. By posting this picture, you disregard their perspective, and make the space less comfortable and less safe for them. You marginalize them.

      People are trying to cancel for him for “cheering for the deaths of his fellow soldiers” at a US military base in Jordan, as if I couldn’t like him any more lmao

        Where is he “glorifying” their deaths there anyway or am I blind? It’s just a report with names?

        Also, yeah, I’m not going to sit here, ass fat, and say “I hope X group dies!” But I will say if you join the fucking US IMPERIAL FUCKING MILITARY (or IOF, or any military or militant group for that matter) and you die in sort of combat type situation, like, ok? You joined that shit.

        The US and Israel do this fucking weird shit where you simultaneously get the “glory” of being a soldier but you’re also never supposed to die or be touched or shamed in any fashion. It’s hard to explain, surely others have done so better, but it’s like an inversion of sorts of the old Greek/Roman (surely other civs) warrior glorification of getting a “glorious death” aka you go down fighting, sword in hand, and although you are dead people acknowledge you died in the best way. Obviously this is insanely toxic when an imperial army adopts it as an aesthetic. It’s sort of expected from a resistance group, but when you’re the dominant power…? But now the US and especially Israel basically are at a point of such imbalance in power that they expect their militaries to go totally untouched while also totally destroying their enemies. I dunno, it’s fucking weird. Hard to explain. Fuck this shit though for real.

            yeah I went back and saw that but forgot to edit it in. thanks. I am the guy who needs the giant red square and arrows pointing at the important item apparently.

            also, that is literally the most tame possible way of criticizing US soliders who died. just a dismissal more than anything. (not saying you were saying differently)
