Yes, the person you’re responding to is dogwhistling that he believes Jews run the world and he assumes that I agree with him.

I can't tell if you're playing troll chess or this is all just garden variety flamebait, but either way it's not what HN is for and enough is enough. I've banned this account.

  FWIW I wasn't implying anything about who "rules the world" like this person said. I was legitimately curious if they knew they were using a far-right trope or if they were just repeating a bunch of stuff they've heard somewhere. Apologies if I sent this a bit offtopic, dang.

    I don't think you were the driving force of offtopicness here.

  Excuse me? I was accurately pointing out that he’s an antisemite who believes that Jews control the world. Antisemites always post comments identical to his when they see someone discussing globalists. The purpose is to derail the discussion into their preferred direction of a useless argument about Jews. You can see how effective it was from the responses he received. I hope you aren’t naive enough to fall for his sycophancy-laced and deceptive attempt at defending himself in his followup comment. You have an unfortunate habit of interpreting my unremarkable factual observations about other commenters as “trolling”. Just because I accurately perceive something before you do doesn’t mean I’m wrong. Recently you rushed to the defense of scottlocklin as though I were attacking him when I was merely dispassionately pointing out that he clearly interacts with neo-nazis on /pol/ on a regular basis. This is obvious from his comment history full of dogwhistles, for example only neo-nazis on /pol/ propagate esoteric phrases like “corona-chan”, which he did. Pointing out that he interacts with nazis online was a necessary part of explaining why he was spreading a derivative of the antisemitic “humble merchant” meme. I’m sure you’re aware that everything I’m saying is correct, you’re just feigning obliviousness for some lame reason.
