Antisemitism is on the rise, but fuck the ADL. The ADL equates pro-palestinian protests to antisemitism. Every time I see a Russian bot meme, its so infuriating. You're dismissing the valid concerns of anti-genocide protestors as a Russian ploy to create a rift in america. No, it turns out people just really don't like it when Israel declares safe zones and then bomb children.

Antisemitism is on the rise

Especially against Palestinians, who are also Semites.

It’s the ADL, they’re a Zionist hate group. They equate anything other than staunch, unyielding support of Israel as antisemitism. And this meme is nothing more than an attempt to portray pro-Palestinian speech as some sort of threat to the nation.

Don't worry, I've been assured by Very Serious People on here that Putin Isn't That Bad(tm) and is Just Doing What The US Would(tm). He was provoked by NATO's existence, don't forget!

If the Anti-Defamation League and the Defamation League collide, will a matter-antimatter type explosion result?

Calling it a plan gives him a bit too much credit imo, he is effectively taking advantage of the situation but he’s no mastermind

You're not giving Putin enough credit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics#Content

This is from 1996. They've evolved the plan accordingly.

TLDR: Relevant bit below:

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics

We (Western world, the USA in particular) do it to MANY other countries, Russia would be depriving itself of a very effective solution if they did not do likewise.

The responsibility to protect ourselves against outside aggression was on us, who spends so much money on making billionaires in the Military Industrial Complex richer, yet neglected this most basic of intrusion methods: disinformation.

No argument. The enemy is within now.

And without as well.

In medicine, bacterial diseases are some of the easiest to treat, but cancer is among the most difficult bc you have to distinguish between friend vs. foe.
