Weaponized Antisemitism

The Trump admin's cynical weapon to schlong the Left hard

This is a short post about something that should be obvious.

Trump administration cancels $400 million in federal dollars for Columbia University

The Trump administration says it has canceled $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University over what it described as the school's failure to police antisemitism on campus.

Academia is completely lost to the Right in the US, even more than the public sector. From a revolutionary MAGA perspective, it’s beyond saving, there’s no contest, nothing to recapture, nothing to save, it’s to be discarded, delenda est.

At this moment, “antisemitism” is still a potent political product in America. For a Republican, it’s also free to use. Not cheap, free. This might change. “Antisemitism” may lose its potency, might become costly to use, but for the moment, it’s potent and free.

Meanwhile, for the Left, “antisemitism” is a risky weapon that is very expensive to wield, better be avoided in a fight:

But you can’t choose the type of your weapon (or field of battle, whichever metaphor you prefer) in a fight that is initiated by your opponent, you have to meet him on his terms, and the Right is on the offensive; so it’s going to be “antisemitism”.

Trump & co. are using weaponized antisemitism to:

1. fuck with US academia

2. keep the Democrats divided

Antisemitism as a shield

This should also be obvious, but butthurt wignats got this wrong (as they tend to do). Remember the South Africa EO?

President Trump’s Executive Order on Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa

In shocking disregard of its citizens’ rights, the Republic of South Africa (South Africa) recently enacted Expropriation Act 13 of 2024 (Act), to enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation. This Act follows countless government policies designed to dismantle equal opportunity in employment, education, and business, and hateful rhetoric and government actions fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners.

In addition, South Africa has taken aggressive positions towards the United States and its allies, including accusing Israel, not Hamas, of genocide in the International Court of Justice, and reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements.

This EO is a wignat’s dream: the president of the US going against anti-white policies. But that alone would be a rather sour pill, so it’s sugar-coated with pro-Israel bullshit.

A lesson from Orban

There’s no greater friend of Israel in the EU than Orban.

Loving Israel so hard it’s unreal costs him nothing, and the gains are potentially infinite (an irresistible ROI). For one, this provided him legitimacy within US capital R Republican circles as the Western elite was trying to isolate him.

Trump enjoys the same window of opportunity in the US right now, and he’s going to take full advantage of this. Decades of soft and hard power were put into pumping “antisemitism” out of proportion, and he’s ruthlessly robbing this political piggy bank to finance a crusade against the Left.

The Conservaboomer with a semi-secular devotion to Israel used to be an idiot — now he’s a more useful idiot.

Fuck with academia, keep the Dems divided. We love our Jews, don’t we, folks?
