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
You’re trying so hard to DARVO this that it’s almost cute
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.
There’s no requirement to use discord
Except for all those communities that require it if you want to get involved.
Then you’ll give up your privacy
Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. A lot of the times the choice nowadays when about getting involved in something is whether it’s worth your privacy. Which alienates from hobbies, causes, organizing, all the stuff that people do related to “touching grass”. And lets not kid ourselves, even a lot of the stuff we want to do in our free time that is the opposite of “touching grass” requires discord.
if only that were true
I’ve never used it and I’m still alive
It’s not a problem until I experienced it
that may very well be true, the thing is that people demand little more from life than “being alive”, so that is not really a metric.
Who requires you to use Discord?
i was just on discord and i only needed to send a dick pic to enter voice chat
I thought only moderators had to send unsolicited dickpics.
Mr. Palantir is helping me verify the age of our users!
I understood that reference
I will say that this has been in the works for a little bit now and it’s more related to the UK’s new laws. We’ve had this age verification stuff on Discord for some months now.
As for why it’s being rolled out globally, not sure. The UK is not the only country / state starting to ask for ages verification on “social media” so maybe they thought it would be easier to use the same approach everywhere? Seems like a bad idea though as everywhere it’s implemented it’s unpopular.
My experience with it so far has been that… well… It hasn’t affected me at all. Mostly because I only use friends servers and activism servers. Those aren’t age restricted, so you never hit this check.
As far as age verification law compliance / implementation goes, this is not the worst one. That data leak early on was a clown show though.
It’s excusable for the UK but we’re talking globally now. There’s no legitimate reason to push this globally besides Discord wanting to ID all their users.
Das sind die Regeln, alright then. Cool
Glad it hasn’t affected you (yet).
As if there’s a book called How To Sleepwalk Into Fascism and half of us stopped reading before the chapter on The Consequences.
Of course. It’s not like I want this. I was out there messaging my MP when the UK law had just been pushed through and filling out the petitions. It didn’t help though.
You can send a message to Discord by leaving, but they won’t revert it for places where it’s legally required.
A Real Humam Being.
And a real hero
This post would 100% fit right in on 4chan’s /pol/ board.
The “Every time” title is what takes it from Israel-critical to anti-semitic. It’s the standard format for 4chan posts “proving” a Jewish world conspiracy, implying the Jews are behind it “every time”.OP knows this of course, but they pretend they don’t.
oh if we replace the words in your sentence the meaning changes to something antisemitic
Bullshit. As if “Mossad” is not synonymous with dystopian surveillance… This is very clearly not alluding to an “Elders of Zion” conspiracy theory but the Mossad being one of the most aggressive surveillance agency’s of the west which is common knowledge.
You saying the Occupation Regime Of West Palestine is a stand-in for Jewish people worldwide is what’s antisemitic. Having to tip-toe around “antisemitism” is how the zionists want us to dilute and tone-down our criticisms. Yes the right wingers use “Israel” as a stand-in for jews and a lot of their dog-whistles sound very similar to legitimate criticisms, that’s the whole point of dogwhistles. Lets make sure that our stance is clear and firm.
Fedditors not beating the zionist allegations anytime soon.
Look at the guys username. People who name themselves ImperiumFirst don’t have issues with genocidal settler states, they have issues with jewish people.
That’s an actual argument tbh. The OP on X likely meant it that way.
Another feddit.org user pretending a general term is antisemitic because Israel = Jews in Germany.
Germans not beating the antisemitic allegations either.
No comment on the substance of that comment then eh?
What substance, a bunch of stuff he made up?
You can find almost all dog whistles by simply typing it followed by “urban dictionary”. This is not one.
Thanks for helping me find it http://every-single-time.urbanup.com/17037220
No problem. I hope you’ve now realized how mistaken you are.
I just linked you to evidence that your language is a commonly used anti-semitic dog whistle.
Can you read me the term you linked and also read the title
What they’re saying is that “every time” is a common phrase on nazi forums when someone points out the jewish ancestry of a powerful figure. It eventually became the more infamous triple parentheses, or the “what a coincidence” and so on. It is used as a dog whistle, but people forget that dog whistles exist in a context otherwise they don’t work. And that they are not just used to covertly signal other antisemites but to take over a topic and make it theirs like what happened with pepe, like they tried with👌 or whatever. There are unambigous dog whistles like “((()))” or “1488” and so on but this is not one of them.
They’re using the phrase with the term “single” in between as the dogwhistle https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Every.+Single.+Time.&defid=17037220
This guy is Palestinian
Unsurprisingly 4 out of 5 downvotes are from feddit.org, because criticizing apartheid Israel or Israeli settlers is anti-Semitic.
Feddit.org the most Nazi instance of all of Lemmy coming in hot to do some gaslighting for Israel.
Give its.just.nazis some credit, they even link how to donate to openly nazi groups in the sidebar of their Ukraine comm and host the nafo community noncredibledefense.
Oh wow, you know nothing at all about Nazis. Given your instance of choice this leaves me flabbergasted.
Ask a Feddit.org user a question about Syrian refugees see what happens
Hey, uh, can you not with the antisemitic dog whistles?
Israel = antisemitic?
no but fedditors = zionist
Not what I was referring to and you know it.
Do explain what you are referring to.
I don’t know if I should. Because a dog whistle’s nature entails that they’re so very easily excusable as misunderstandings and “not what I meant at all, gosh golly” and conversations with people who use them devolve into shouting matches EVERY TIME and I don’t know if I’m up for that right now.
Dog whistles are commonly known and when searching for them the first thing which will usually pop up is an explanation of the dog whistle.
Unless you’re implying it’s antisemitic to relate Israel to mass surveillance and spying I’m not sure what angle you’re going for.
I am not implying that. I’ve known since EARLY LIFE the difference between what people do and what a government does.
so you meant antizionistic? in which case you can say that out loud. the difference is that zionism (the behaviour) is something that its perpetrator willingly chose to perform, can regulate and can be both bad and criticized.
semitism (an act of being a jew) is not something you control and not something that would hurt anyone and is therefor considered shitty move to criticize and attack in civilized society.
You can’t just claim to see something nobody else has any idea what you’re talking about and then not elaborate on what you mean.
For a start, read the username of the guy whose tweet OP posted.
It’s w40k shit?
The person I’m talking to knows what I’m talking about. That’s enough for me.
How do you know they know what you’re talking about? Did you DM them? Their public comments would seem to suggest the opposite, and I have no idea what you’re talking about
right now it is really unclear if YOU know what you are talking about.
The title of this post doesn’t reference jews, it references the fact that Israel is a major, if not the biggest player, when it comes to spyware. This article is highlighting, just how much influence israeli firms have, when it comes to spyware.
Yeah, that’s the thing with dog whistles, it’s always “not what I meant, how dare you insinuate”.
So when another israeli pushes for a spyware solution, which is what the country has become infamous for, you are not allowed to say another israeli is pushing for spyware, because that could be misconstrued as a nazi dog whistle?
Sure you can. That’s not what OP did though, the entirety of their contribution to their post, apart from uploading a picture, was typing out a dog whistle and nothing else.
If you’re equating criticism of Israel’s global surveillance state with Jews, then the only antisemite in the room is you
I am not doing that.
‘Hey uh, please do not criticise my genocidal overlords, that makes you the bad one 👉🥺👈’
Strawman
Not what I said.
