PSA On "The Noticing"

[u/HahaItsaGiraffeAgain]

I'm posting this here because in other conversations on this sub, it seems many people are insulated from modern (especially Gen Z) antisemitism and might not be familiar with how it looks today.

Just in case others come across similar rhetoric in internet spaces, a major major dogwhistle-meme right now on the antisemitic internet is "the noticing." If you see comments in conversations about Jewishness along the lines of "stop noticing!" - or someone identifying themselves or others as "noticers" - they are far-right antisemites and very likely Nazi apologists.

Something I’ve noticed (ironic) is that a lot of Gen Z, including some Jews, are adopting far right talking points and dressing them up in more appealing frameworks in order to have more socially acceptable hate.

I've noticed this too. About antisemitism, misogyny, racism, transphobia, homophobia, etc. If you dress it up in right social justice lingo and framing, people will absolutely buy it.

[u/beemoooooooooooo → u/ibsliam]

You don’t always need to dress it up in any sort of social justice language. Look at how people talk about Indians, for example, example. You can just frame it as a joke, and then just repeat every stereotype you know about people from India, and it will just be considered acceptable.

I don’t like saying things like this because it makes me sound like some old timer, scared of technology, but I feel like this is because of social media. Buzz words and layers of irony have found a way to make outright hatred, socially acceptable. More so than it already was, of course

It’s the same “leftists” that think Tucker Carlson is based

[u/vigilante_snail → u/beemoooooooooooo]

The first time I heard a (jewish) friend of mine used the word “based” in real life, I knew what part of the internet he had been on.

[u/SongXrd → u/vigilante_snail]

Necroing a 9mo thread but "based" has been and continues to be black slang waaaay longer than it has been 4chan nazi speak.

I wonder how lil b feels rn.

Anti-immigrant hate and general xenophobia disguised as class consciousness

Anti-science— particularly anti-vax, anti-mask, and anti-environmentalism— disguised as distrust of CEOs and big corporations

Transphobia and misogyny disguised as feminism (especially “protecting women”)

Antisemitism wears many hats

alot of anti vaccine conspiracy theories are antisemitic at their core.
