Among the star-studded Super Bowl ads that viewers saw during Sunday’s game was an awkward 30-second spot, filmed vertically on an iPhone, in which the rapper Ye talks about his new teeth and instructs the audience to go to Yeezy.com.
As of the morning after the game, when they visited the site, shoppers could find exactly one item for sale: a white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.
Considering that anti semitism is sadly cool again …
I mean there is def an uptick, but lets make sure we’re not conflating anti-Israel/anti-zionism/anti-genoside with anti-semitism.
It always has for white supremacists, but recently Trump and Musk have emboldened them. They are no longer hiding behind dog whistles, they’re now seig heiling enthusiastically in public
They are still the minority, anti-fascism is needed now more than ever. Nazi’s should never feel safe expressing their racist ideologies in public
Well, “criticizing Israel’s government for committing a genocide” anti semitism is still bad. But “being a fucking Nazi” antisemitism is fine /s
