Not here on Lemmy, but I’ve definitely seen some examples in the last few days that made me a little uncomfortable in other places online.

I can sympathize with the desire to dehumanize him because as an individual he’s completely reprehensible, but I just worry that the ease at which the dehumanization is happening that it’s allowing fucked up people to slip in anti-semitic messaging among it and that it’s helping solidify fucked up right wing bullshit views which are already running rampant.

Sorry if this is the wrong community for this, don’t hesitate to remove the post, mods.

    The reptilian conspiracy theory alleges that shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth.

    Belief in reptilians sometimes references anti-Semitic texts. For example, the perpetrator of the 2020 Nashville bombing was influenced by the writings of David Icke, who in turn referenced 1903 anti-Semitic fabricated text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
