Since Jimmy Corsetti is shocked, shocked, that scoundrels dare accuse him of antisemitism and his noble defender, that paragon of integrity, Dan the DeDunker insists that it isn’t like Jimmy posts Nazi bait, which presumably Dan might object to, I thought I, known scoundrel,

would cover this with sufficient clarity for those who see Jimmy’s work and think there’s issues, but can’t quite explicate them, to show how some of the rhetoric is used, and in the extremely unlikely event that even the most allegedly objective defenders of truth, justice, and

And I’m adding a content warning CW: I’m including screenshots of some extremely vile racist replies to Jimmy. And some historical antisemitic propaganda to illustrate how old and established these tropes are.
It’s not pleasant.

For a man who claims to be interested in symbols and a variety of conspiracy theories and who regularly writes about them in relation to the WEF, UNESCO, and various other groups, I find it hard to believe that Jimmy has somehow been able to avoid the blatant antisemitic

and otherwise racist memes and tropes associated with them.
Particularly since those memes and tropes flood his comments on those topics.

As an aside, when even Matt Walsh thinks you’re a blithering idiot about your “symbolism” nonsense, you should probably take a long look at your life choices

It’s further interesting to me that someone who is just interested in examining symbols and their spread seems to fixate exclusively on the swastika and satanism and none of the other geometric symbols humans like to draw, carve, paint, and invest with various meanings

If someone can show me Jimmy demonstrating the same intense interest in other symbols in his posts, I’d be happy to see them. Because it seems to be swastikas that command the vast majority of his interest in prehistoric symbols.

I also find it hard to believe that someone so interested in symbols and with a background in marketing is unaware of the most common use of current symbols like the triple parentheses or one of the extremely well-known propaganda images of the 20th century

used by both the far right and left antisemites depicting Jews as octopi with tentacles extending all over the world.
Clearly his audience caught the reference when he described WEF “tentacles.”

It’s also curious to me that for all his angry complaints about being accused of racism or antisemitism, I haven’t seen a disavowal of those sentiments. Or an acknowledgement that those currents do exist in a range of overtness in conspiracy theory and pseudoscience communities.

Or an attempt to address the overt examples in replies to his posts. Obviously, it’s difficult to impossible to completely manage all the replies for such a large following. But maybe some effort? Or, again, the occasional disavowal. Or request to knock it the hell off?

Instead his response is outrage, claims that the accusations are merely a smear campaign, reference to wokeness, and an attack on the accuser(s). No actual facts or counterfacts.
(And it’s not exactly unheard of for people of some Jewish ancestry to engage in antisemitism so…)

Along with the very blatant statements, you can also see the use of terminology common in antisemitic conspiracy discourse. Zionist used as a synonym for Jew, rather than the more accurate meaning relating to the political movement. Marxist/communist is another dog-whistle.

Darkly hilarious is when you get bigots accusing each other or Jimmy of being controlled by “Zionists” or being secretly Jewish.

And as I’ve said elsewhere, these tropes and dog-whistles aren’t new. The association of Marxism and communism with Jews and Jewish conspiracy is and old, old trope. The stereotypes of Jews as greedy, controlling money and banks, of global domination through various organizations

are also nothing new. The history is there to be seen, along with the propaganda. And modern history also has far, far too many examples of the consequences of allowing such falsehood to go unchecked when they’re perpetuated.

While, again as I’ve said elsewhere, to some extent it’s impossible to control who consumes your content and what they do with it. But I think it’s reasonable to examine the audience particular content draws, the messages that audience sees in it, and why they approve of, agree,

and identify with it and the producer of that content. And to consider why a content creator might not care to discourage some audience segments. Or even encourage them. Or care to examine such things.

It’s also reasonable to wonder why anyone trying to draw attention to such things is attacked, their statements taken out of context, entirely misrepresented, the nuance of the argument eliminated, and words put in their mouths.

I think it behooves us to ask, just what is it Dan is policing and on behalf of whom when he aggressively defends this kind of hateful nonsense and complete failure to address it in a meaningful way?
Where is the integrity in denying that Jimmy posts Nazi-bait?

Especially considering that even a casual dip in the cesspool that his replies are shows that clearly antisemites and Nazis are being drawn in by something…could it be bait?

It’s curious that it is somehow a weird coincidence when it comes to Jimmy posting antisemitic rhetoric and having engagements full of Nazis, but the WEF being vaguely associated with basically anything isn’t coincidental, but proof of conspiracy

Oh, and a “coincidence” I forgot. Why did Jimmy choose a photo of Baroness de Rothschild costumed as a fallen stag at her 1972 Surrealist Ball to associate with Satanic symbolism?
He couldn’t find a more fitting image? townandcountrymag.com/the-sc…
