One day I will figure out how to stay calm when I see antisemitic “Stephen miller is a vampire” jokes but today is not the day.

it's soooo easy just to call him a POS, a racist, or a clown of a man and yet- ...

I assume you’ve seen the latest from Ann Telnaes? It’s vile.

I see them from people who should be allies here & it just makes my heart sink. I don't wanna get into pissing matches with them because I agree he's an evil sociopath. But if I mention that they're falling into old antisemitic stereotypes, I know their defense will be to sling zionist fascist at me

So I say nothing and live with an ever growing lump in my gut. Every cartoonist (and everyone left of Pelosi who reposts them) who makes caricatures of him as a vampire or some other grotesquely exaggerated beast is reinforcing the otherization of jews. He's very much a human American made POS.

I was honestly not aware of that history, and I won't be calling Miller a vampire now. Thank you! Besides, just calling him evil is much more to the point. If we get too cute with nicknames, we risk removing the horror of these evil people.

There are so many more creative ways to make fun of that dead eyed, mayo suckling, sinister racist. Vampire is lazy.

Wait sorry for not knowing this...STEPHEN MILLER IS A JEW???? holy shit that's wild

There are so many horrible things to say about him, and yet they keep picking those tropes, hmm.

I’m partially ashamed I didn’t already know this, but mostly grateful for the lesson!

I second this!

Dracula and early vampire stories were based heavily on antisemitic tropes of blood libel and implying that Miller, a Jew, drinks blood is tapping in to one of the most vile historic examples of antisemitism in all of history! There are MANY other horrific things you can say about this man!

Do we also need a lesson in why you should not call him a lizard person?

Ответ для Erin Biba

TIL. I had no idea of the connection between vampires and antisemitism until this thread. Thanks.

Ответ для Erin Biba

The fact that his face looks like a thumb is the least of them.

A couple years ago I wound up yelling at the Seattle DSA twitter because of "lizardman" memes about Zuckerberg and how it you can hate the guy and point out the shitty stuff he does without being antisemitic - so many people make these comparisons without understanding the historical context of them

For instance, when he deigns to talk shit about the appearance of leftists etc-- bsky.app/profile/apsc...

Don't wanna hear shit from a guy who looks like the reason white people Thanksgiving turkeys have such a bad reputation

But I dont think the general public knows that angle, they are using vampire because of how he looks and that he seems to relish hurting people, not because he's Jewish.

Ответ для Erin Biba

Can we do Peter Theil, tho?

I'd no idea Miller is a Jew, nor have I ever heard of Vampires being Jews.

He's had family members disavow him and basically say "don't you understand the people who you work for hate our family?"

Personally I am a fan of simply stating what it is that someone is doing wrong, explaining why it is wrong and presenting evidence. The antisemitism adds another odious layer, but dehumanising people is still wrong even when that element is not present. I have probably done this myself in the past

I'm pretty sure he's been mainlining evil and freebasing hatred, not drinking blood. I've known men with similar facial structure who don't radiate evil the way he does. So much of it is in his eyes, expression, and posture. You can see the condescending cruelty he can't or won't bother to hide.

And, of course, there's literally everything he says. Also, comparing him to Nosferatu is just thematically incorrect. Count Orlock is the intersection of hunger and lust (as an antisemitic trope) whereas the evil of Miller is oddly Hamanesque, a very human villain and dipshit asshole.

Welp, I didn't know that one. (Funny how most insults turn out to be bigotry.) Also relatively recently learned the lizard people thing, and I promise if I've ever mentioned lizard people, I meant people who keep them as pets!

I honestly did not know that and will refrain going forward.

i see him as a gangrenous bowel in human form, hate festering like pus in every pore& its not antisemitic. One day I hope he will be tried in the hague for crimes against humanity, dating back to the original family separation policy. even his own family has disowned him.

Yep.

This one's even worse, imho. Often see it with Zuckerberg too.

Miller tests us all due to his horribleness but yes 100%

Don't stay calm! Some of us had no idea. We need people to call us out. Thank you.
