Theory: Some anti-Semitic trolls are Russian operatives

I know this has been suggested before. Dunno if it's even true. But I could see why Russia might use Jew baiting as a weapon. Rather than promote anti-Americanism directly, which would risk turning Americans off due to patriotism, this form of information war would encourage Americans to blame the other, the Jew, for anything they dislike and undermine confidence in US governmental institutions. There is certainly great harmony between anti-Semitic white nationalists and pro-Russian politics. The alt-right is probably the most pro-Russian political faction in the US.

I still think most Judeo-obsessives are sincere idiots. But it is plausible that Russia would latch onto it as a form of disinfo and to promote conspiracy theories that further Russian interests.

anti-Semitic white nationalists

Back in previous eras (when people were biologically smarter), the term anti-Semitic was simply a synonym for Christian. Go back to the 14th century and tell one of your ancestors that in 2018 the Jewish people of your country have influential power in finance, politics, education and communication and he would rightly tell you that the people of our time have let their brains fall out of their heads. Because the fact is, allowing Jews to influence your nation is inherently anti-Christian.

And now we have practically an anti-Christ in the White House.

I AGREE. The Russians hate us for our freedoms.

BTW you think McCarthy didn't realize he was mostly going after subversive kikes as a group?

What McCarthy thought in the 1950s is obviously not the issue here. But he had two Jews on his staff and according to one of them, Roy Cohn, was never an anti-Semite.

Instead of promoting anti-americanism directly...they use antisemitism...since WHEN is America a semitic country? Being counterislamic or anti Christian isn't being counteramerican, we see those everywhere (fostered by media from semitic countries and produced by those FROM semitic countries)...so why is being COUNTERSEMITIC equivalent to being antiamerican?

Anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism traffic closely oftentimes. On the far right they are often indistinguishable. Get people believing the US is ruled by Jews and that US policy is a reflection of hated Jews and you have someone that's going to oppose US policy. This translates in many cases to foreign policy and it definitely promotes Russian interests. Anti-Semites are usually more pro-Russian than some Russians.

GEE, what a crazy coincidence. Are ProRusso actions inherently countersemitic, and why do you think? But aren't there Jews in Russia? What are some examples of the policy you mention and the "interests" it promotes? Can you be any more specific about how they "traffic closely oftentimes"?

I think what I've said in my post to you is obviously true with little need for elaboration. Probably even casual observers will recognize how Russia friendly 'American' anti-Semites usually are.

Russia isn't inherently anti-Semitic though, no. But Russian intelligence has historically used a range of tools to undermine the United States. Promoting anti-Semitism might be one of them. Dunno.

My own observation is that some anti-Semites seem to be pushing a narrative that is pushed relentlessly no matter how much it is refuted and no matter how ridiculous the promoter is repeatedly shown to be. That suggests to me some of these guys could be working on script.
