re: #209 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Roseanne forgot the part about using it to bake matzohs…or is that supposed to be dog-whistled?

Roseanne Barr is Jewish.

She’s also a severe alcoholic that largely lives in the sphere of people like Alex Jones; there’s a deeply depressing interview between the two about two years ago where she leans into beliefs that are QAnon adjacent. She’s not signaling she’s an antisemite, she’s signaling, like Jones, that a White Terror is justified by…as always…The Bad People are doing things to kids.

Modern conspiracism relies on syncretism, and thus (in the Christian/European cultural sphere and the English-speaking world) will inevitably find it’s way back to the original Christian conspiracy theories that justified supersession and the building of ghettos, but the intent isn’t necessarily to signal a secret antisemtism rather to use the same successful accusations to inspire contempt and rage sufficient to justify violence. Cannibalism, weird sex, and messing with kids are the three favorite accusations of people about to do a purge: Sunnis accused the Shia of all three for most of history; the overrun of the world by Europeans was accompanied by penny-dreadful accounts of eating people and weird fucking.
