The ADL actually has articles tracking the organizations that do this stuff. You should report incidents that happen to the ADL it may not help in a prosecution but it will help them track incidents and their frequency which is useful for judging a lot of things including radicalization

Iirc last year people were taking down or defaming the white power stickers people placed all over town. Missouri has always somewhat been a home base for the kkk. I don't understand how they recruit though. Gen Y and Grn Z and presumably Gen Alpha are rather progressive on average. I guess conspiracy thinking is cult-like and anyone can get caught up in it. Which is probably the purpose of these

>It's weird how Nazi level anti semitism has just became the norm for conservatives.

Idk if you live in a social media bubble, are just ignorant, or are intentionally trying to vilify an entire section of people for whatever reason, but damn, thats some ignorant bullshit.

Complete bullshit.

Does it happen? Unfortunatley, yes; there are always extremist and idiots regardless of political affilitation. But saying it's the norm is the same as saying liberals spreading the ideals of anarchy is "the norm."

As a person born and raised in South-west MO, who's entire family, and most of my closest friends are conservative, who works exclusively in rural communities, I have never had someone approach me with anti Semitism or say anything disparaging about Jewish people...not once. Not stammering drunk, not pissed off at political shenanigans, not on their worse day.

I've seen a nazi flag before displayed by an ignorant piece of shit, but thats hardly "the norm", even in the most hardcore conservatives I know. (It was "SS Bolts" on the back of a motorcycle)

Just going to leave this here with the recommendation that anyone remotely interested in antisemitism and authoritarianism give it a watch. It’s a hard watch, to be sure. It’s paywalled but all PBS asks for is a donation (I pay$5/month for access).

Also, that username… Oy! 😉

Unite the right rally, Jan 6, the multiple attacks by proudboys and neo Nazis, etc and we know damn well there's a number of them here. This place is has enough honkeys for them to blend right in. Even if there's only one there's too many and there's only type of good Nazi. This complacent attitude is how we got here.

This is a practice done by a niche group of ultra-orthodox Jews, and it's very much looked down upon by basically anyone else who considers themselves Jewish.

This practice has not only infected babies with STDs, but also killed some.

The optics on the practice isn't particularly great in the modern age, but it's also not anything any bit sexual. Compared to like, you know, the systemic rape and abuse of children and subsequent coverups in the Catholic Church. Where are the rice bags for those assholes?
