The truth from @contrariannews.org: Let’s call the #anti-#DEI fetish what it is: A blatant attempt to #whitewash #American #history and solidify historical disadvantages that white #supremacists resent giving up.”https://open.substack.com/pub/contrarian/p/words-and-phrases-we-could-do-without-ccd
In February 2022, #Tom #Homan went to the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida, and took a seat among a group of young #white #supremacists.
Homan — who oversaw former President Donald Trump’s brutal anti-immigrant regime as acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement
and who under former President Barack Obama was responsible for record-high levels of deportations as the head of ICE’s deportation branch
— had been invited to speak at the "American First Political Action Conference".
As HuffPost first reported at the time, Homan claimed he was unaware of what the #AFPAC was all about
— his assistant had booked him at the event, he said, and had likely confused America First, the event’s organizer, with another right-wing group.
Sitting at the table, waiting for the event to begin, Homan got out his phone and looked up Nick Fuentes, the leader of America First, and came across a bunch of articles labeling him a “white nationalist.”
This didn’t prompt Homan to get up and leave. He was skeptical of the label “white nationalist.”
After all, he knew what it was like to be unfairly labeled a bigot and a racist during his time overseeing ICE. Maybe Fuentes had suffered the same injustice.
But then he read that Fuentes had praised Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Homan got up from the table, leaving the conference before it began.

Nobody's going to give a shit about antisemitism after all of this is over, and that's a good thing.

I beg to differ.
Precisely because the word antisemitism invokes horrific memories of what happened to Jews during WW2 (*), disgusting zionists started using that word as a weapon to silence opponents. Which has been extremely "successful" in at least the Netherlands and in Germany.
(*) My Jewish grandfather survived WW2 because he was maried to a Dutch woman. His family was murdered by the nazi's.
However, it was not the first time that the meaning of the word antisemitism was changed. From Wikipedia:
«
Semitic people or Semites is an obsolete term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians.
»
Apparently the meaning of the word is *timebound*.
Since late 2023, antisemitism means:
«
STFU! We, supremacists, are busy creating a better, bigger and safer world (for ourselves). Stop bothering us, or feel the consequences - like Aysenur Eygi [1] did.

Nazis appeared to find a friendly reception at the Conservative Political Action Conference this year.
Throughout the conference, #racist extremists, some of whom had secured #official #CPAC badges, openly mingled with conference attendees and espoused #antisemitic conspiracy theories.
The presence of these individuals has been a persistent issue at CPAC. In previous years, conference organizers have ejected well-known #Nazis and white #supremacists such as Nick #Fuentes.
But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald #Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017.
At the Young Republican mixer Friday evening, a group of Nazis who openly identified as national socialists mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed so-called “#race #science” and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
One member of the group, Greg #Conte, who attended the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in #Charlottesville, Virginia, said that his group showed up to talk to the media.
He said that the group was prepared to be ejected if CPAC organizers were tipped off,
but that never happened
A Prayer, Chant and Protest Song: Faith Communities Must Resist Their #Extremists
by Sunita Viswanath, 30/Oct/2023
"It has been 23 days since the #Hamas attack that took at least 1300 #Jewish lives, and since then, more than 8,000 #Palestinian lives have been taken by #Israeli bombs. Half of them are children. The United States, along with many world powers, have given #Israel their blessing to 'defend' themselves against Hamas by bombing Palestinian civilians indiscriminately.
"In fact, the blessing of the #US has come in the form of over $ 3.3 billion a year ($ 370 billion dollars since 1948.
"The US is now proposing to send $ 14.3 billion more in military aid.
"I am a #Hindu American living in New York City, and my husband Stephan Shaw is a #JewishAmerican. We are active in Jewish Voice For Peace and Hindus For #HumanRights, both activating faith communities to take on their respective extremists. While we see an increasing alignment of #WhiteNationalism in the United States, #Zionism in Israel, and #Hindutva in the Indian context, my husband and I are part of inclusive movements of people working together in diverse coalitions for justice for all.
"One of the chants that echoed through Grand Central Station was, 'Never again for anyone, never again is now.' This, for us, is the most basic lesson of the Holocaust that many Jews seem to have forgotten.
"My pain as a #Hindu has been that Hinduism has been hijacked by #HinduSupremacists, led by the likes of #NarendraModi and #Adityanath. They are entrenching the Hindu community in #India and abroad with a false sense of victimhood and danger from our #Muslim siblings, and increasing #Islamophobic sentiment. Under the current regime, India is being transformed into a Hindu rashtra (nation) where Muslims and other religious minorities are neither welcome nor safe. Protesting with thousands of Jews calling for a ceasefire in #Gaza made me dream of a day when thousands – or even hundreds – of Hindus will gather to say ‘not in my name’ to violence committed by Hindu #supremacists."

Let's break down the history, the racism & the fragility of the privileged: a) it already happened & they lost; b) America will never be a homogenized utopia; c) #supremacists are not heroes/saviors/models for anyone.

@ForeignSubstance @lednabm People tend to forget that Nazis were, and still are, Christians.
#Right-wing. #White. #Supremacists. #Christians.
On #AfricanAmericanHistory If you truly integrate it into #AmericanHistory it changes the story. In the early days of #womensstudies we said you can't just add women & stir. Writing the history of African Americans rewriting mainstream history. This is what #supremacists fear. Last night on @chrislhayes #TanehisiCoates insisted the counter reaction signals fear. I found this reassuring that there is progress. But still, when people lash out in fear, they can do a lot of damage.
