The topic of Jews has always been on the fringes of the internet (this board among them), and dismissed wholesale by just about anyone outside of said circles. That is how things worked for the longest time, basically since the birth of the internet as a whole. That changed, very noticeably, very abruptly, and very obviously, after Israel's counter-invasion of Palestine in the aftermath of the October 7th, 2023 attacks by Hamas.
Since then, something has shifted in the wider internet (and maybe wider society, but that could just be wishful thinking), and I can't place my finger on how or why this has happened. Has it been building up over time? Did it blow up all at once? What other factors are involved? I don't know.
Here are a couple recent examples to see what I mean;
-
Mark Dice, say what you want about him, is someone I've kept an eye off and on for many years. I would usually place him closer to milquetoast than not (not as bad as, say, Tim Pool the Dim Fool, but just enough to want to keep his channel). However, he went full blown Noticing(TM) in his most recent video, to my complete surprise. He even admits at the end of the video that he thinks he's "flying too close to the sun" (because YouTube), so it's safe to say that he knows.

Info Wars (and by extension, Alex Jones) has always been willing to broach into many a subject, but has always been rather mum on this particular topic, minus low hanging fruit such as the USS Liberty (the possible reasons why are for another discussion). That is, until a few days ago, when a video + article was put out on Zionism, a pro-Jewish ideology. For all I know, its contents could be total BS, but the fact they address it at all is to be noted.
Of course, we are now seeing the US Government revealing their true loyalties once and for all (i.e. not to the American people, but to the nation state of Israel) in response to these shifts in discussion surrounding <pulls out a gallon of Minute Maid> the juice, and it is currently attempting to make "antisemitism" a federal crime based on an extremely broad definition, that can best be summarized as "rules, ethics, and accountability are for goyim".
Let me know your thoughts.
Wow calling it "an article on Zionism" is an understatement. The writer is basically rattling off a bullet point list of unsourced "9/11 was the Jews" claims. It sounds crazy and even if it's true nobody would believe it. At least not yet. This might be reaching Sandy Hook levels of danger for Infowars/AJ. Does anyone know anything about the author Greg Reese?
Everything you've noticed is spot on though. There's a shifting of the winds among the Right towards listening to ideas that were previously only palatable to George Galloway voting far-left radicals. (despite what the ADL would claim) What seemed crazy before is almost plausible, and people are becoming less worried about being called an antisemite or conspiracy theorist for raising questions about allegiances and influence networks. There's a large pro-Israel contingent (including Trump) but I think it helps that MAGA is made up of more isolationist types that don't want to be involved in foreign affairs. Also the fact that the holocaust is so far back and carries less weight now. On the contrary, the more it's brought up the more cringe it sounds. They might as well be whining about the Arch of Titus.
