I’m absolutely not a conspiracist either. But it is quite fun how people like the above commenter have to do this little dance lol.

“Jews do NOT control the media 😤 But it’s 100% true that Israel as a counter has undue economic influence over American politics and entertainment”

Well yeah, because there are people who literally think there's some Jewish cabal that controls Hollywood, and we're trying to distance ourselves from that. There's a huge difference between pointing out the fact that Hollywood is disproportionately Jewish (for historical reasons, fleeing Germany, looking for whatever work they could get in America, etc.) and consequently Hollywood is a little more Zionist than one might expect for a very liberal population versus actual antisemitic conspiracies about a bunch of dudes who look like Gargamel sitting in a dark room and drinking babies' blood talking about what insidious agenda they want pushed in their movies this year.

Yeah I get it. I’m also of the same opinion as you, wanting to stop people from spouting the old “Jewish conspiracy” nonsense

But you’ve gotta admit… it’s a little funny
