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.
It's been building for a while. On T_D subreddit echo posting was pretty common until CisWhiteMalestrom banned it in order to stay on reddit. Openly White Nationalist podcasters and YouTubers were getting large audiences and followings in the heyday of the alt-right. Post Charlottesville, all that was cracked down upon. What we have now is a actually a bit of a return to normalcy. Despite his short comings, Musk has allowed Twitter to be more open. Alt-tech site have also managed to hang around albeit with tiny audiences relative to the mainstream. Basically, the internet has reclaimed a small degree of its old openness.
There is also TikTok which is now being forced to be sold because it allowed too much noticing. Despite China's own authoritarianism, realpolitik means they have little incentive in aiding the American Empire's legitimacy by cracking down on Noticing.
The Kanye West saga was also pretty big. Despite him being a crazy retard, the crack down on him showed the system's hand.
Now we get to 10/7. This has put things under duress and out in the open. Israel's desire for a Final Solution to the Gaza question (in part perhaps driven by Netanyahu's selfish political ambitions) have only further exposed things.
This latest set of legislation is another big deal. It's made it the elephant in the room. No matter how much of a kosher, grift-right piece of shit some of these people are, they have to say something. If they ignore it now, they risk losing their audiences and will get called out for ignoring it. I can see some of these people who just want grift bucks running around with their hair on fire saying, "Congress is doing what!? How the hell do we cover this!?"
I was there when a post praising Israel with a attached picture of an Israeli flag made it to the front page, and the mods went on a ban wave because the general sentiment was along the lines of "WTF? It's AMERICA First, not Israel!". That was one of my first Noticing(TM) moments, along with a CW exec having the name "Pedowitz" in relation to some trashy live action reboot.
I remember that too. T_D was more based then people give it credit for, sometimes
The moderators had a tough time keeping it split between "letting the boys post like normal people" and "keeping Reddit tranny admins from having an excuse", until the Reddit admins figured out they didn't need to have any pretenses.
Which is why it's stupid to even try to appease tranny mods.
