they are probably referencing an antisemitic conspiracy theory. I can't tell whether as a joke, or seriously. In any case, it should probably be downvoted, or dang should remove it. it's psuedohistory, invented to spead hate.
- tut-urut-utut 3y agoI think it’s obviously it’s a joke. However, there’s even a smiley at the end of the comment, as a clue for the people with broken humour detector. I hope you saw it.
- ahoka 3y agoYou can’t just jokingly say “this is a robbery” in a bank though.
- hnbad 3y agoIf you have any familiarity with the kind of people seriously spreading these kinds of conspiracy theories, you'll know that framing "truth bombs" as jokes is par for the course because it creates plausible deniability. If it really is a joke, what is the punchline? How does it work? What's being made fun of? That it would be outrageous for someone to say that seriously? As "red pillers" like to say: keep making jokes until the joke really lands (i.e. accustom people to hearing it by framing it as a crass joke so they'll no longer flinch when it is said in earnest).
- klyrs 3y agoAh yes, the "humor" of repeating an obscure antisemitic conspiracy theory. It's "funny" because it's obscure enough that the majority of the audience will assume it to be innocent, and liable to jump to the the speaker's defense against the apparent "crazies" who take offense. Like a silent fart, the "joke" is on the audience, and a smile merely indicates that the author is amused.
- cassepipe 3y agoFine but this one seems weirdly specific so we'd like to know which conspiracy it is. How is it antisemitic ? Are Khazars secretly running the world from Atlantis ?
