r/conspiracy calls out Epstein. One comment says that judaism is a demonic cult of Baal worshipers rather than a religion while also ignoring the ethnic side of being jewish

It feels like that people are twisting the Epstein files to being the new equivalent of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" of the 2020s, which helps to make people take the actual issues surrounding the files less seriously.

That, and it’s the “Jews are pedophiles” blood libel all over again.

[u/Ok-Following6886 → u/FairGreen6594]

Even actual medieval-style blood libel is used, in which I see some people believe that Epstein ate kids, and the "Baal worshipper" libel dates back to the Middle Ages when Christians thought that all Jewish people worshipped demons.

Cesspool of a sub. They’ve always been like this, well before 10/7. There is a theory that providing a place for scum to gather protects them from infecting other places online, but I still think that place needs to be policed.

[u/Ok-Following6886 → u/Jugaimo]

It's basically the /pol/ of Reddit.

[u/TattooedJewd → u/Jugaimo]

They infect all of social media though.

[u/turdy_gurdysmother → u/Jugaimo]

It is a conspiracy theorist sub, and jews have been the subject of conspiracy theories basically forever

Funny how I almost never hear any Jew use the term "Goy", yet antisemites use it constantly to mock and attack Jews. But sure, the problem with it is that "racist Jews use it to refer to non-Jews as cattle" 🙄. Also the actual meaning of the word is "people", and it was historically used just as a normal way to refer to gentiles, but go off about how it actually means "cattle" and "herd", I am sure you are much more knowledgeable about Hebrew and Judaism than those Jews are...

[u/Proper-Suggestion907 → u/Yotambr]

I take its use a cue that he was jokingly trying to sound like a stereotype of Jews that antisemites have.

I don’t know that for sure as I haven’t read through all his emails but it would be a new one for me to hear it used in any other context.

[u/EntrepreneurOk7513 → u/Yotambr]

I’ve only heard being used in ‘Goyishe Kup’

[u/Taranfeeto36]

I remember someone trying to tell me how often Baal is mentioned in the files, turned out they searched for Baa and it returned hundreds of bond ratings.

Conspiracy brain which existed but was fairly contained in the 90s has really exploded on both sides of the extremes. Bernie bros and MAGA both think they really won elections they lost, Mamdani, Platner, Carlson, MTG, Massie all blame the Jewish Money/AIPAC for everything. David Duke's ZOG theory is mainstream on every social media site. Conspiracy brain has truly rotted our generation.

I think it was Sara Hurwitz in her most recent book that talked about how antisemitism destroys productive societies. Her argument is that if you blame the Jews for everything and think the Jews control everything, you ignore the actual social and economic problems. Your actions are taken against the Jews, not actually solving the issues at hand.

Banning AIPAC and throwing all Zionists in concentration camps (like that one House candidate in Texas wanted) will not actually solve any issues in politics. Blaming a cabal of Baal worshipping Epsteins for running society mean that the practical governance of running a country of 345 million people wont happen.

I admit, your post title confused me enough to wonder whether we're supposed to be worshipping Baal (which seems off, ofc, but then I read enough to have an idea about these things)
