It's probably helpful to note that it's quite common in right-wing rhetoric, particularly as pertains to Likud politics, to conflate criticism of Netanyahu's politics with antisemitism. It's an effective way to call his critics anti-semites for an audience that doesn't understand the difference between Judaism and Likud party politics- sort of like how MAGA republicans call themselves patriots and then claim that their critics are therefore unpatriotic.

Musk has famously re-platformed far-right, nazi-coddling accounts and laid off basically everyone responsible for moderating content. Yes, it's a complete mystery as to why Twitter has a nazi problem

MAGA militia groups like the Prison Boys and Oath Breakers are Tory militia groups trying to destroy the Constitutional government created by George Washington and the founding fathers and reintroduce a dictatorship/monarchy.

They also get to claim the American self governance, multi-cultural experiment as a failure and use that as an excuse to racially and religiously segregate the population, if not just wholesale genocide all at the behest of this societies richest because they believe they should be in charge.

Idk about the Tories being involved. I highly doubt this is an English long game from 250yrs ago.

But fascism isn't free. The funding doesn't just come from overseas adversaries, tho no doubt some does. Those that can, will show their biases (as we see with Elon Fuckface), hedge their bets, and fund both sides. Enabling confrontation.

Calling it like it is, it's funding terrorism and blood is, once again, on the hands of the billionaire class.

If you work for them, are police or persuaded military, you know that when blast gates come down 1. Its random chance you'll be on the inside, they aren't putting themselves in danger for you or yours. And 2. Even if you are in, do you think your gonna be accepted as an equal? You're the help, servent. Even in the case of nuclear war and generations need to live underground. You're not one of them and will never be. Look how long they've been maneuvering for the chance?

If it all falls apart, don't succumb to rioting or protesting. Target the wealthy and clean the gene pool.

Tory is simply a synonym of the word "conservative". A conservative is a tory and a tory is a conservative.

That thought occured to me but I hadn't had the chance to dive further on it.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.
