TIL: Today I Learned

[Kyriakos]

I've always thought that Stormfront was run by Jews.

"They suspect"

sense for racial purity...

Though a pretty high intermarriage rate, at least in the US.

TIL that there is no english translation of Lem's Summa technologiae. One of both the most boring and most interesting books I've ever read.

I'm not so sure that these people are much concerned with facts.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Actually, there is a divide in this stormfronty/third-way/identitist/race-proud/whatever movement. You can see it in their stance towards Israel. While some thinks that Israel is a warmongering abomination run by the people they consider to have a cancerous influence on our traditional culture destroying it with materialism, liberalism etc etc (basialy your typical totally-not-nazi trope) others think that Israel is our bulwark against the muslim hordes and Jews are kinda cool and pinnacle of European civilization with their racionality and sense for racial purity...

But..but..but...

Some Jews are brown. Very, very brown.

True, yome Jews are also very white. Some members of my Jewish side of the family actually look more Nordic and light-skinned than my Frisian (Gentile) side of my family.

Conversely, French can be very dark, and I'm also distantly of French descent through my Frisian side.

I'm guessing when they think Jewish, they're thinking Ashkenazi, who are mostly pretty white. Also though, I'm sure their views about Asians could be extended to dark-skinned Jews.

 

[cybrxkhan]

I grew up in an area with a lot of (presumably Ashkenazi) Jews. A lot of them looked pretty white to me. Some guy at my high school even looked like a stereotypical Irish redhead. Thanks to all this sometimes when I think of a default/generic white person I think of some of these Jewish kids I knew.

I am actually of Sephardic origin, who are usually more darker than Ashkenazim.

Yeah, I heard that one. What a nasty little affair.

 

[Joecoolyo]

TIL about a real-life Jewish conspiracy.

Stuff like this is extremely hard to read, for multiple reasons.

 

[cybrxkhan]

TIL about a real-life Jewish conspiracy.

That was unpleasant.

Honestly I don't like the school board system here.

Also, this was reminding me a lot of the issues in Israel over the ultra-orthodox community there.

Right, but when we're talking stormfront and their racist generalizations, they're probably thinking Feynman and Ben-Gurion. These people probably don't even know what a Sephardic Jew is.

I occasionally hear Nazi-esque people actually defending Sephardic Jews as the "real Jews" with Ashkenazim actually being of "Mongol-Turkish" descent through the "Khazars", a double whammy of ignorance since Azerbaijanis are the descendents of Khazars and Turks do not descend from Mongols but only have a common origin at best.

It'd be so cool if I had a bit of Mongol in me.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

It would? Hopefully it was consensual.

Anyway, TIL Nature papers can have figures with blots that have a bubble.

It doesn't make sense. Where did you get that piece of… text?

 

[Kyriakos]
