The A.D.L. vs. Musk: Anti-Semites Try to Hijack Conservatism

September 16, 2023 Issue 73

The current battle between Elon Musk and the Anti-Defamation League (A.D.L.) is one of those moments in our cultural reality where people show their true nature, even if unintentionally. Musk has threatened to sue the A.D.L. for defamation as the organization has apparently bullied X advertisers into abandoning the platform under pain of boycott. The A.D.L. and many other organizations that have become the thugs of the Democratic Party have been doing this for years. They have injured innocent people, companies and their shareholders, our culture and our economy; destroying reputations through innuendo. In the case of the A.D.L., the label of anti-Semitism is used. Somehow the A.D.L. now gets to authenticate the title of anti-Semite. They and countless other leftist N.G.O.s are the shock troops of our corporate socialist and cultural Marxist regime every bit as much as the Blackshirts were to the Mussolini regime. Unlike the Brownshirts, they understand that direct violence is a suboptimal strategy. They hide behind impressive sounding titles and have their minions gang up on opponents online and in the marketplace. They seem to farm out violence as they support or at least look the other when Antifa and B.L.M engage in violence..

It is sad that the A.D.L. has become this malevolent force. The organization was founded over a century ago when a Jew was lynched by a mob for allegedly sexually assaulting and murdering a thirteen year old girl. Whether he was guilty or innocent is subject to debate. He was probably innocent but there is some doubt. It was over a hundred years ago. There was a climate of anti-Semitism in the U.S. in certain areas and life was complicated. Many people at the time, albeit a minority, did believe that Jews had killed Jesus Christ, were out to control the world through international communism and merited their persecution. Many thought the worst about the Jews. It was also a period where Jews began excelling. Many multi-generationally impoverished whites were jealous and hateful. The Jews must surely cheat, they thought. How could a man who just arrived in America be successful and send their sons to the finest universities when their family lived in a shack since the the eighteenth century? It could not possibly because Jews valued education, hard work and family unity. Nor could it be because of the undereducation, substance abuse and myopic thinking of people.

Think that’s nuts? Some people even now believe that the rich harvest the blood of children to manufacture a life sustaining elixir. These folks reason that because they were right about masks not working, then this story must be true also. Also, some far right outlets, for lack of a better term, are milking resentment against the A.D.L. to ferment Jew hate. They still bring up the Jews controlling the world crap but more subtly. They help leftists in their argument that the push back against globalism is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Two things can be true. Globalism is maladaptive economically and socially and their are some nasty players masquerading as conservatives and libertarians. Frankly, I'm not even sure if they even believe their own bullshit. However, ugly rhetoric attracts eyeballs and donations from the angry and weak minded.

On some right-wing channels on YouTube there has been a pushback on the A.D.L. I am not inferring that all or even a majority of these YouTubers are Jew haters but the comments section responses sound like something from 1936 Nazi Germany. They (those posting comments) refer to Jews as “little hats” to avoid YouTube algorithms. Even one of the commentators on Podcast of the Lotus Eaters, which purports to be serious, referred to Ben Shapiro as one of “God's chosen lawyers" automatically attacking Shapiro over a contract dispute with Steven Crowder. Most right wing channels like the Daily Wire, the Blaze, PragerU and others rightly criticize the A.D.L. Despite what the leftist media would have you think, these outlets and their hosts are not anti-Semitic. Many are proud Jews themselves.

Right wing anti-Semites, with no evidence, state that the A.D.L. was founded on defending a child molesting murderer and insinuate the founders of the organization knew that and did not care because the victim was Christian. They assume the undisputed truth of Leo Frank’s (the lynching victim) guilt. They also use the term hanged instead of lynched neither acknowledging Frank was due a fair trial nor the evil of lynching. There are always sick and hateful people around. The internet gives cowards the opportunity to spout their vitriol without repercussions. What is troubling, fascinating and illuminating is that, from what I have seen, these YouTubers, who claim to be truth tellers, do not push back against the psychopathic Jew hate of their followers. Do they agree? Are they themselves cowards or do they not want to lose subscribers and “likes” as it would cause their income to decline. It’s tough to tell.

There is one test I have where you can quickly flesh out an alt-right anti-Semite, in the eighteenth nineteenth century conservative sense as opposed to left wing anti-Israel anti-Semitism. If they display for contempt for Muslims and obsessively rail against them yet support Palestinian “rights” and are anti-Zionist, they are probably crypto-Nazis even if many are too stupid to realize it. However, some have become so anti the American regime after the election of Joe Biden that they are beginning to speak fondly of mass murderers like Saddam Hussein, Bashar al-Assad and Muammar Gaddafi. Everything is the fault of the U.S. and these leaders were benign according to some YouTubers. They are using the deserved backlash against the A.D.L. for nefarious purposes just as Nazis used the deserved animus against communism to acquire power. Tragically, given the collapse of societal average I.Q. these people have a rising market opportunity to recruit new thugs. In the last fifty years, about the same time period between the birth of the first Boomers and Zoomers, the proportion of people with sub-normal intelligence has likely doubled. Combine that with hard economic times going forward and the increased risk becomes apparent.

It is well understood by now that the anti-Israel element on the left support ethnic cleansing of Jews in Israel. They are far stronger, embedded in institutions like universities and the media, and more of a threat than right wing anti-Semites right now. However, the right wing anti-Semitism on alternative and social media is growing and may in time become a grievous threat. This phenomenon should be cut out of our society like a hideous growth before it metastasizes into a full cancer. The solution is not the A.D.L. which bluntly has helped right wing anti-Semitism. Nor is it to censor these odious parasites. People need to understand who these people are and just stop watching.

The Jews have survived threats a lot more serious than self-important British twits, former pick-up artists, incels and former real estate hustlers with Rumble channels. Frankly, I am far more concerned about them undermining the conservative movement's ability to gain prominence. They will try to weasel their way into power. These edge lords have no place in the future conservative-libertarian culture that is being born.
