God could the point go over your head harder. That user wasn't engaging in a conspiracy theory that Jews on all the banks movies and government, they were comparing your apparent belief that the Chinese government controls the American government to those antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Also zero points in an argument with a bunch of people who can't downvote farquaad-point

Whooooosh lol 😉

Would someone actually create a "your apparent belief" in their mind from that

You know what, it's not even apparent, you explicitly stated it:

China's red-blue man owns US's red and blue men anyway.

disgost

There's actually a looong leap from the known China-sponsored politicians to antisemitic cabal conspiracy theories

I think that in 30 years you'll be considered the anti-Semite of this age, honestly. Sartre once famously claimed something like "if the Nazi didn't have the jew, they would have created him."

Sartre, for all his faults, understood that fascism always needed the external and periphery, whether defined geographically or ethnically, in order to sustain itself through expropriation. Who this was doesn't matter as much as that this group is defined as having more than it deserves for bad reasons and is therefore justifiable as a victim of violent expropriation. The values represented have become more progressiveâ„¢ in that you believe China owns American representatives in order to mistreat Muslims or something. But materially it's identical to "Judeo-Bolshevik" antisemitism

Here's a bite-sized analysis from a guy who's pretty good at this:

I remember fascists have been calling antifascists fascists for a long time but "the anti-Semite of this age" is definitely one of the most despicably hateful derogatory things I've seen in a while.

Edit: no, I do not open links from Musk's alt-right-landia
