    A screenshot of Twitter, a site owned by a fascist and populated by fascists, of a tweet by the user called, ahem, “ImperiumFirst”, posting in greentext format (which admittedly doesn’t have to mean much by itself), with OP’s own title being “Every time”… Why does this post feel like it’s copy-pasted from /pol/? 🤔

      Honestly, disregarding all the whingy fedditers, this is the only comment with anything substantive to it. Worth a reply from op.

      That’s weird that a post with 172k likes and 4.4 million views is seen by two people. The pol post is about 100k likes before I took the screenshot and I’ve never seen it.

      Do you think there’s something about the post itself which makes the title “every time” an easy title to come up with? Surely not. Everything must be /pol.

        No, but I can see why people would be jumpy when you repost a fascist pointing out the jewishness of someone (using Israel as a synonym) and then as the title (accidentaly) use a phrase that became a meme commonly associated with pointing out the jewish heritage of a powerful figure. Fedditors going straight for the accusations is of course you know… but it would have made me 🤨 as well if I hadn’t seen your posts before and noticed the X users handle.

          Nothing in the post points to the person pointing out the “jewishness”. The only thing pointed out in it is the birth place of the person

          The phrase also isn’t associated with pointing out Jewish figures. It can be associated with discrimination, In this case the title is actually discriminating. Against Israelis for always pushing spyware. Which has nothing to do with “antisemitism”.

          The only way the “antisemitism” angle works is by going “Israel = Jews = antisemitism”.

          It really all feels like Feddit.org users going “whoaaa did you consider the Israelis are jewish?! Therefore you can’t criticize them!” To which I recommend reading https://ofpatmos.substack.com/p/fight-jewish-exceptionalism

        On a site whose algorithm likely pushes fascist content it’s nothing surprising that two people would come across a popular fascist post.

        and I’ve never seen it

        I’m not saying you’ve seen the thread on /pol/ (I found it by searching for the dogwhistle “every single time”), but it’s, uh, strange that your post could be replaced with the one from /pol/ and vice versa and they would function the same on both a fascist and on a Marxist-Leninist(?) forum.

        I think that the user ImperiumFirst whose banner is this:

        and who describes himself as “Political Extremist | America First | Christ is King ✝️”, and whose pinned tweet is praising Kanye West for using a swastika, and whose feed is currently filled with Nick Fuentes videos…

        …is in fact a fascist and probably a /pol/ user.

        Do you follow that guy? Or did the site correctly assume you’d like his tweet?

        And yes, the wording, that you’re acting is completely neutral, is indeed regularly used by fascists “just noticing” Jewish undermining of the White race, even by the very same profile here:

        For a supposed Marxist, you’re oddly oblivious to fascist iconography and memes, and uncritical of the content served to you by a fascist-owned website.

          I hadn’t seen the user posting it was a neo Nazi so I’ll delete the post thanks for the heads up. I’ll still remain with the point that nothing in the post itself is antisemitic.
