Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

well yes, but like seppos don't have inbuilt anti-semitism (as compared to europe of early 20th century), it's like they doing everything to portray zionist controlled government caricature (which, without going into imperialism, is hard to wave away, cause usa is bending backwards to isntreal)

You should look up the newspaper that Henry Ford was publishing at that time.

oh, they were trying, but i mean that deep anti-semitic shit (as in pogroms/reconquista), not couple of industrialists getting mad at great depression. I don't doubt ford or disney predilections (or fascist rallies, or nixon).

Yeah antisemitism is not a deep rooted ideology in the United States, at least not to the extent it is in Europe. It exists and has existed certainly, but not nearly like Europe

Honestly, sort of an aside, but the designer of the kkkonfederacy flag explained in a letter once, that the reason he chose the X-shape (a saltire) for the flag, instead of the "normal" upright cross as found in the South Carolina secession flag that inspired the Confederate flag... Was specifically to avoid potential objections from "the Jews & many Protestant sects" over the use of a religious symbol. And that'll just never not be funny to me? "Yeah I'm designing a flag for a settler-colonial state whose sole purpose is to preserve the reprehensible, moribund institution of keeping our fellow human beings as chattel, but like... I'm not an antisemite, OK?"

Professional racists have standards, you wouldn't get it

Oh, and by the way, in that same letter, William Porcher Miles wrote that the Confederate flag's saltire represented "strength and progress" because the word saltire comes from the Latin for "I leap" — which, again, I can't help but find ridiculously ironic, to characterize an entity whose sole purpose was to prevent progress as "progressive".

Real "Break only one law at a time" vibes. Can't be racist against everyone, one at a time!

avoid potential objections from "the Jews & many Protestant sects" over the use of a religious symbol

sounds kinda woke
