Neo-Nazis make a Chrome extension that alerts you to potential Jewish names

and a quick glance through the blacklist that it pulls from yields my former next door neighbor, a friend from high school, and one or two people that I know by name.

That’s… uncool, to say the least.

Is there an ascii code for yellow stars of David? :slight_smile:

Or could one just flood the list with non-jewish names to the point that cleaning it up would be too tough? Hopefully they don’t keep a history of the file and don’t know how to diff.

or a copy paste of the Albuquerque white pages from 1963, just for kicks?

Huh… how about that, not only are there multiple star of david emojis, one of them is purple!
:six_pointed_star::star_of_david::six_pointed_star::star_of_david::six_pointed_star:
Well, doesn’t that just makes the neo-nazis look lazy? Kind of like crowdsourcing Jewish names. What a bunch of shit eating cowards.

It’s worse than that. The (((*))) has a history and a meaning:

The symbol comes from right-wing blog the Right Stuff, whose podcast The Daily Shoah featured a segment called “Merchant Minute” that gave Jewish names a cartoonish “echo” sound effect when uttered. The “parenthesis meme,” as Right Stuff editors call it, is a visual pun.

In Right Stuff propaganda, you’ll often read that Jewish names “echo.” According to the blog’s lexicon page, “all Jewish surnames echo throughout history.” In other words, the supposed damage caused by Jewish people reverberates from decade to decade.

Someone needs to make an app that surrounds the names of white supremists & nazis with swastikas.

They’d use it as a friending app, speaking from experience.

That’s fine. Populate that list with known pedophiles and sex offenders and make sure you’re stocked up on popcorn.

Heh. I used to manage (currently on hiatus) a Block List of antisemites over on Tumblr for the community to use to protect themselves (since the website’s management didn’t give a shit to the routine harassment), and I regularly got ‘thank yous’ from Neo-Nazis for the convenient friends list. As a result, I’ve seen a white supremacist and an African-American activist shake hands and agree to be friends over their mutual hatred of Jews.
