" Progressive" is the false appropriation of a word that has a clear meaning. Moving forward for betterment, improvement, for the common good. At least ,not consulting a dictionary, that is what first comes to my mind. The currently self-branded " progressives" are nothing but. In fact, by their alliances with evil actors, medieval death cults and their persecution of Jews, the perversion of plain thinking, their woke degenerate ideas which they insist in indoctrinating our children with and their complete loss of the ability to distinguish right from wrong at the most basic level, they should be rebranded " regressives " , a new word, and we should have the collective courage of insisting on it.

Indeed. And just to add that antisemitism has been around since much longer than 1847, as the author wrote: as you mentioned, mediæval times and before that.

Simple response today. I call them "regressives" because these troglodytes are doing everything but progressing.

I have been called a Nazi for opposing Islam. Ironic, given their close connivance with the Mufti of Jerusalem.

My father fought against the real Nazis. He was in the RAF in WW2.

There is a curious inversion: Antifa claim to be anti Fascist, but their behaviour resembles the original Fascists.

The single most potent tool that Israel can use against Hamas is theology. Not military alone.

As far as I am aware, there has not been the attempt to use this approach. Not at the full scale that is needed.

See this article:

The key point is this: Allah is a Zionist, according to Islamic scripture! No Muslim, if they really believe the Koran, can oppose the existence of Israel.

If you could share this article widely, that would be appreciated.

What we are seeing today on the woke left is Nazism 2025 style

And tagging alongside this unholy alliance, are the right-wing Jew haters (Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and so so so many others).

I think what we're seeing from the left is more a revival of good old Communist antisemitism than Nazi antisemitism, and I'm not sure why people are so quick to make Nazi comparisons while giving the Communists a pass. Communism has been responsible for more death and suffering than Nazism, and it ain't even close.

The antisemitism of the radical left isn't based primarily on racial lines, though that is a key element. It is ultimately based on Communist ideas about class inequality and the evils of capitalism, and within that system Jews are the ultimate greedy capitalists who have achieved their disproportionate success through the oppression of others. The race aspect was layered on by the DEI and anti-racist activists. And much like the Communist antisemites of the past, they don't openly talk about "getting rid" of Jews. Just knocking us down a few pegs. Purging us from positions of influence. Bringing our representation in certain industries down to proportional levels.

An excellent companion article to your previous one by guest author Lucy Tabrizi:

Very upsetting read but I can't disagree with much of it. Yet I KNOW that a majority of Americans, even of the young, HATE THESE people and are on the side of enlightened civilization. We just have to find a way to mobilize them before its too late. But I am hopeful that we will. After all as Thomas Wolfe said "The dark night of fascism is always descending on America but lands in Europe."

If we start seeing mass protests in front of synagogues during the high holidays it will be horrible to endure, certainly, but these optics will do far greater damage to their own cause than we could ever do

In short I believe we just need to weather their stupid flood long enough for them to shoot themselves in the foot ( or the brain)

The Nazi inversion thesis is apropos… and reframes the new/old Jew hate agenda - well done for unpacking so cogently

Ironically, the party of the Jews, the Democrats, embrace these Nazi tendencies and the stupid Jews keep pulling the D lever.

The best selling book in the Muslim world is the Koran. The second best seller is Mein Kampf. There are more books published every year in Spain (pop. Around 49 million) than in the entire Muslim World (pop. Around two billion). They don’t just sound like Nazis, they are Nazis. And their keffiyeh-wearing leftard fans on university campuses and in Hollywood are Mosleys and Quislings(I.e., Nazi collaborators). Prove me wrong, as the saying goes.

Oh, good, I feel so much better about ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank knowing they are really Amalekites.

(Not really.)

So now you’re making up numbers and engaged in twisted rationales. 👋
