It’s not so surprising that Epstein seems to have internalized & privately promoted many alt-right antisemitic ideas. Reactionaries of different stripes all see the world in basically the same way, as zero-sum competition between antagonistic racial/religious groups

“An immediate de-escalation on all sides”???
Imagine telling Jews to de-escalate during the Holocaust, or African Americans to de-escalate during Jim Crow.
Every Jewish institution must look at itself and ask what they are doing to end fascism.

There were once plenty of regime loyalists who described the Nazi Gestapo’s targeting of Jews, Roma, dissidents, queer folks & more as so many ‘fatal encounters with law enforcement’. That’s how the head of the ADL just described the ICE murder of Renée Good & Alex Pretti

There were those who called the Nazi persecution of Jews “fatal encounters with law enforcement” while it was happening. Today we call them what they were— collaborators.

For the 1000th time, ‘solely because she was Jewish’ is incoherent. Nazism otherized Jews as part of a fascist state project. Drawing political lessons from the Shoah, & insisting upon its relevance today, is essential to understanding history & acting responsibly within it

Tucker Carlson put out another sketchy interview yesterday, this time with his brother Buckley, who shares his America First Israel-skepticism. Today Buckley shared an article from the Unz Review, a hardline white nationalist site. The article minces no words— ‘Jewish plutocracy’ is the enemy

All along, Fuentes has been a hard-nosed imperialist. His critique of the neocons was that they were idealistic, committed to a lofty world-shaping project, rather than remaining focused on raw power. He instinctually supported Trump’s attack on Venezuela today,
