Just gotta say how thankful I am that the Knowledge Fight podcast exists and how Dan and Jordan have been speaking out against Alex Jones for all these years. They’ve been keeping track of all the awful bullshit he spews, taking the time to sift through the lies/misinformation to counteract them with the truth, and disseminate Jones’ true racist, antisemitic agenda to people around the world.
They know how antisemitic Jones is and how he couches that antisemitism through a variety of dogwhistles like “globalism,” “George Soros,” and the “New World Order.” And in tackling ye’s appearance on Info Wars, Dan and Jordan point out that Alex isn’t disgusted by what ye’s saying, he just wants to retain plausible deniability. There’s no real pushback against ye’s antisemitism, just halfhearted attempts to change the subject or brush it all aside as a “first amendment” thing.
And furthermore, Dan and Jordan specifically look at Nick Fuentes’ role in all this, examining how he’s backing up ye in his antisemitism and the troubling way he’s using ye’s celebrity to boost his own profile, just not in the same way Tim Pool and Alex Jones have done. They clock Nick Fuentes as someone who’s unconcerned with the quiet part being said out loud and stands to benefit from this level of blatant antisemitism being normalized and entertained in public discourse.
All of this should be terrifying to people and mean that we need to be aware of the insidious language used to mask antisemitism as well as push back against it, in addition to the more obvious forms of it. Arming ourselves with knowledge, disseminating information about how so many of these extreme right wing and Christian fascist assholes want to scapegoat Jewish people in the hopes they’ll be killed is more important now than ever. Especially those of us who aren’t Jewish, we need to loudly denounce this shit in public.
Anyway, listen to Knowledge Fight and, as always, fuck Alex Jones, ye, and Nick Fuentes.
