Returning to the Ye/Alex Jones/Nick Fuentes video, and honestly I'm having trouble keeping up.

He says that the Zionists are actually controlled by Satan, after saying that the Jewish media has corrupted our minds into thinking that Hitler was all bad *2nd Thread*
He has started reading antisemitic jokes from Owen Benjamin's website, who is a Holocaust Denier and flat earth activist. These include that Ben Shapiro knows how much change is in someone's pocket from the sound.
He says that Planned Parenthood is "Eugenic population control."

Fuentes says that he agrees with Ye's views on Jews. He points out that the U.S. is guilty of much of what the Nazis are accused of.

"Instagram is a prostitution ring." - Ye
He owes a lot to Owen Benjamin, and said Dave Chapelle went on a "Jewish platform" and that he "does not believe in God" and that he is controlled by Zionists. He is using the "They Live" goggles analogy common on the alt-right.
Fuentes says that "Desantis is mobbed up with Israel and Mossad" and then Kanye asked if that was "mossadanistic" if he says something about Mossad, then he did a whiny Jew voice to mimic Netanyahu. "For now he's just Netan" he sang in his whiney voice
"There are practices clearly based on Jewish law and their is some sort of a Jewish mafia" says Fuentes, calling our Ari Emmanuel, who he says is running the show to ban Ye. They connect him to an early Zionist militia. His claim is that his family runs the media and government.
Ye suggests George Soros should convert to Christianity.

Laura Loomer calls in live, Ye puts him on the air, then tells her to stop trashing Milo Yiannopoulos because he likes him so much.
Even Jones admits that Ye has a "Hitler fetish" and says he isn't "on the whole Jew thing." Ye presents himself as a martyr in a war for the future, though he doesn't make it clear what he is actually fighting (except for, apparently, the Jews).
Jones says that this is a crazy world that we live in with white guilt making all white people victims. "What kind of world is that?" Jones asks. "Zionists," Ye answers, before leading the crowd on a prayer. What follows is nearly ten minutes of incomprehensible rants.
Ye helps Fuentes laugh off the question about whether or not he's a white supremacist. "I do, however, believe there are races...and these differences mean something." He uses "globalism" as a description for race mixing, after which Ye says that Fuentes is the future President.
Ye says Trump just loved Fuentes, and that Trump's comments were a lie. Fuentes validates this perception. Ye will rant and then say "tell 'em Nick" and then Fuentes gives the more elaborate and coherent conspiracy theory.
There is really no defense of Kanye here, but it is incredibly clear from this that Fuentes is basically manipulating a really unwell (and antisemitic) man who knows almost nothing about what he's saying. Alex Jones looks like he knows he's about to be sued again.

"You've been fighting this battle a long time...we just have to salute you." says Ye to Alex Jones in an unhinged rant, adorned in a black mask and with white nationalist Nick Fuentes at the other side of the desk. One of the biggest far-right incidents of the year. *thread*
"Ye has arrived in a new ensemble" comments Jones, "God runs the world and Jesus is the way and the life and it's time to put Jesus first" says West underneath his ski mask which he justifies in saying not showing his face is his "right"
This is one of the most bizarre performances I've ever seen, and even beyond what he's saying, there is little way someone can come back from going on Infowars in a skimask. Though he did say that Jesus was "unlocking blessings" for him.

Because there is so much misinformation about antifascism, I've put together this thread with some of the most important reading on the subject. I'm starting with my upcoming anthology book on the subject, with over 30 contributors. *thread*

Confronting fascism is a now classic discussion between two folks, Don Hamerquist and J. Sakai, who originated in the Sojourner Truth organization and give a complicated picture of how to fight fascism.

Bill Mullins and Christopher Vials, both of the Campus Antifascist Network, put together this great historical reader on the subject, which ties together a lot of different threads to move beyond the limits we usually see on what antifascism is.

There is a lot of confusion about what the term "ecofascism" means and how environmentalism has historically had some connections to white supremacy, nativism, and far-right politics, so here is a reading list of useful resources to understand this complicated subject. *thread*
Understanding ecofascism is absolutely essential for understanding the recent acts of accelerationist mass violence, such as the mass murder that took place in Buffalo New York recently.
theguardian.com/us-news/2022/m…
In this conversation with @ReeceJonesUH we talk about the history of anti-immigrant politics in the environmental movement and its historic connection with nativism. I highly recommend Jones' book White Borders on this subject.

This recent piece released by @C4ARR is a poor piece of pseudo-scholarship that reproduces multiple uninformed fallacies that impugn activists. The author does not understand the subject well enough to write on it, which I will go through in this tread.
radicalrightanalysis.com/2022/02/02/bew…
Right from the start he suggests the CVE field has been "infiltrated" by antifascists, something that mistakes the deep, deep criticisms that antifascists have had of the CVE work from the start. Particularly its reliance law enforcement.
The reliance on law enforcement ignores the very real racial inequalities in the legal system, the epidemic of racist police murders, and the disproportionate membership of the police in far-right organizations. Example being:

With the recent crisis at Beth Israel in Texas, now is a good time to share a thread of specifically left-wing writing on antisemitism that comes at the top from a radical antiracist perspective, rather than relying on political centrism or nationalism. *Thread*
.@homeandfreedom's "The Past Didn't Go Anywhere" is one of the most essential reads: an accessible pamphlet that has a huge scope, and yet feels personal, conversational, and relatable. This is approaching antisemitism from within a movement context.
aprilrosenblum.com/thepast
.@BulldogShadow's now classic essay "Skin in the Game" traces how antisemitism helps to sustain white nationalism, and why it is essential to take on antisemitism while we take on larger systems of white supremacy.

As promised, I am start a thread for talking about The Light of the Eyes by Rabbi Menahem Nahum of Chernobyl, the new translation and commentary by Arthur Green. I am going to try to keep up with the readings according to the Torah portions weekly, so bookmark this tweet!
I waited until Simchat Torah to start this so I could do this according to the parsha calendar. So each week I will post tweets about the homilies themselves rather than the Torah portion, though the homilies are (allegedly) commentaries on the parsha.
To kick this off, I wanted to put some initial tweets on the very intricate introduction that Arthur Green provides for the book, which is one of the most important early Hasidic volumes and of which he provides extensive history and theological commentary.
