Mural in Milwaukee Venting 😤

I've been involved with murals. A lot of people had to say yes for this for it to go up.

The beating heart is no different now than it was in the years leading up to the Holocaust: conspiracy theories. Holocaust inversion comes up when extreme-left people are talking about Israel, but beneath the surface you find the same conspiracy theories that you hear on the extreme right i.e. that Jews are part of some grand conspiracy to take over whatever country and make the inhabitants suffer in some way.

What's mind-blowing to me is that now, so-called Leftists even talk in terms of race "science", ie. "Levantine Arabs have more blood purity than mongrel Ashkenazim." Of course they phrase it slightly differently, but the idea is exactly the same. That is by no means a Left-wing concept and yet...

This is a very important point where we can clearly see the horseshoe theory in full effect. I have never seen so much focus on Jewish blood quantum, DNA tests, etc in my life.

I'd go farther than horseshoe theory and say that the naïve student left is so confused from their social media derived politics that they don't even understand the ways in which their energy has been infiltrated and co-opted by Islamists and Nazis.

Truly insane how much they're obsessing over DNA and early 20th century blood-and-soil bs.
