I don’t use Facebook. Too hateful. 3 billion people do. Including my friend. To each their own.
She showed me a post from her politics group. “The Austrian Painter was right”.
It’s clumsy. Blatant. The Austrian Painter? I’m not fooled for a second. Are you? How can it trick anyone with half a brain cell? Facebook’s moderators excepted.
Until a 3 years ago, we had never seen this. Not in the UK. Somebody speaking openly, positively about the Nazi Holocaust? Not acceptable. Not even any dissent. And fair enough. In Europe, where memories must be so much more acute, it is grounds for prosecution. In the UK, while we have our own hate laws, we just didn’t do it.
Before we even start thinking about the size of this guy’s potential audience.
I wept with the world on October 7. I’ve wept for Gaza since. Today, I weep for this legacy to Judaism.

So much that was totally unacceptable speech a few years ago is now in the open. I don’t believe this is because of a sudden shift in thought. I think many have been preoccupied with this idiocy, but were smart enough to keep their mouths shut. Now they feel emboldened to spout their nutsy idiocy publicly.

I can only second this! In an age of rampant populism such expressions which were held before can now apparently be expressed more freely
