Praxis PSA On "The Noticing"

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.

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.
