If you're interested in engaging in US political discourse you'll see antisemitism all over the place. I wasn't hip to all the code words that are used until after the 2016 election (especially in the super public platforms).

The degree to which the conspiracy videos and discussions have woven through youtube is ridiculous, and seriously needs to be addressed. Its beyond left-right sh*t.

I'm for free speech, of course. But there are incubators and hives of bs all over the big sites that fuel certain types of people- and its leading to these tragedies.

I mean, there's a pretty obvious reason why Soros is a target here.

key code words for Jews for alt-right and white power nationalists:

globalist, elite, intellectual, academic, thinker, etc.

It's crazy to me that these people seem to think that there's a Global Jewish conspiracy... to do what exactly? Tax your ####ty little trailer home? Keep your brilliant mind of 79 IQ points from flourishing and creating awesome things? Right..

Very nice article about the victims. Imagine living 97 years only to be murdered in your place of worship!

Still early in the investigation but this shooting feels like it may have been committed by an incel.

Scott Beierle, gunman in Tallahassee yoga studio shooting, had history of arrests for grabbing women

Correct, he felt Trump was not nationalist enough and was too close with the Jews.

Still doesn't change the fact the fear mongering about the caravan and blaming Soros is clearly something this guy loved to hear.

So Trump isn't a white nationalists, and has Jewish friends and colleagues, but it's still on him? Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Trump, but this is a bit of a reach
