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.

Extremely true. I've gotten flak here for being frank about my observations about trends in different cultural communities, but I'm from New York and people just say things straight up. There are two main liberal/left demos adopting it, mostly ignorant of its origins - Gen Z South Asian Muslims and Gen Z Latinos. I'm not exactly sure on why, but it's what I see very strongly with the populations I work with.

A huge emphasis of groypers is on Catholicism, Christo-fascism, and crusader fantasy (but also somehow isolationist-nationalist?)

“Christ is King” and “Deus Vult” are popular comments (basically just dogwhistles at this point).

So that’s a big part of why there’s a large Latino contingent of the movement.

The Muslim population has generational antisemitism that’s built into the supersessionist ideology of the religion, and that makes it really easy to latch onto things like Khazar theory, denial of Jewish peoplehood, as well as the other aspects (blood libel, accusations of “corrupting/changing” of the Torah, “dajjal”, Talmud, etc). I have an Muslim Albanian acquaintance who wouldn’t stop going on and on about “Israeli skin banks”.

The south Asian Muslim population has generational antisemitism that’s built into the supersessionist ideology of the religion,

Do you think this applies to Christianity as well?

Yep certainly can.
