Turn the US against “Europe” janet-wink

I hate these fuckers popping up in anti-imperialist conversations and “subtly” trying to steer them towards anti-semitism

    It is kind of interesting when a fascist tries to coopt ideas like empathy. They understand the concept, but you can tell that they do not approve of it, there’s a level of contempt for the idea of feeling sorry for anyone, even when they are trying to tug at people’s heartstrings.

        Lansky gets a lot of play in conspiracy theories because he’s an intersection of so many different hobby horses, from the mafioso-CIA connection stuff to just being a powerful Jewish guy

  • I once was looking into Lansky a bit more because I think the angle of the US government being an organized crime state is interesting. There seems to be a whole Neo Nazi subculture of blaming shit on Lansky and Rothstein. Disregard that the Italians and Irish also formed massive criminal networks that heavily dealt with the government.

    I suppose he could be referring to how the allies did what they accuse the Red Army of doing - Theyremovedd and robbed their way through Europe. The soviets only get the accusation because they had the audacity to prosecute their molesters, while the west turned a blind eye.
    I remember seeing some old crotchety historian talking about this, but I sadly can’t find the video of his lecture anymore. Can’t even remember his name. So now my only source is it-is-known

    edit: And my grandfathers half-told stories from when he was stationed in Berlin in the late 40’s. He was just 18 years old. He never talked about it a lot, but he said the americans were “rough” and more or less left it at that[1]

    double edit: I would also like to point towards every other US occupation force and every US military base as sort of a character witness for my accusation


    1. Same guy told a story about finding some local resitance folk lynching an SS officer in the woods at around the age of 15-16 and he felt like that was fine, so I can only imagine the americans must’ve been monsters ↩︎

    Wow, this is a real mask-off moment for this Adolf Hitler guy. He really said the quiet part out loud when he was screaming about Jews controlling America to turn it against Germany. Idk folks, I’m also starting to think maybe there’s something up with user “WhitePower13501488and6000000WasNotEnough” that maybe they actually have some socially conservative positions that we shouldn’t support. Just got a bad vibe from them, I guess
