Mark Zuckerberg is a despicable misogynist and a capitalist pig who sells all of our private information, and is responsible for selling that to the people who used it to ensure the election of a crypto-fascist president, but this site reaaaally needs to stop with the “secretly inhuman / alien / lizard person” jokes because he is jewish and that shit comes DIRECTLY from literal antisemitic conspiracies started and propogated by genuine neo-nazis so why is it so hard to just not do that?
Before you recoil from this and develop defensive emotions, I used to joke about him having to go to human classes (a real thing he did) but then when i was watching the Live Congress thing he’s doing yesterday, youtube had the comment feed on and i got to watch people literally in real time at like 8 mph use that rhetoric while spamming stars of david next to it and i recoiled back from that joke/line of mockery so fuckin fast my guys.
Consider yourself informed and move forward from it. We can think up new things to mock him with that aren’t being glorified by neonazis.
Could someone explain where this came from? I’ve never heard that the ‘secretly a lizard person’ thing was antisemitic! That’s distressing. I’ve seen variations of it in shows (Robot Chicken did a sketch that comes to mind) and I’d love to know the origin.
David Icke is a famous conspiracy theorist who champions the ‘lizard people’ rhetoric, which he uses frequently to thinly disguise his anti-semitism. To quote a follower of his:
“Just because he believes a Jewish elite run the world doesn’t make him an antisemite.” Which is literally antisemitism.
So essentially he’s using it as a joke to seem more relatable when he’s really just talking about Jewish people?
Disclaimer: I am a gentile who knows maybe 1/8th of what is and is not anti-semitic. But here is what I’ve gathered from what a lot of my Jewish friends have told me.
It isn’t a joke to him. He’s serious. He’s written several books about it. From his Wiki
He’s got a lot of similar things to say about Israel.
