The video shows Michael Yon making false claims regarding so-called “terrorists coming across the border being funded by Jewish money.” Yon was speaking at a “Take Back Our Border” convoy in Texas.
In the video posted on X, formerly Twitter, the man can be heard claiming that HIAS, a global Jewish nonprofit that works to protect refugees, is responsible for funding terrorists coming to America.
I’ve never met a socialist who believes that stereotype though
The nature of emotions is that you can have a feeling that is contrary to how you think. That feeling may not influence how you think about Jews directly, but it can influence how you think about issues related to Jews. Just ignore a few details here, fixate on some other details there, and suddenly you think a group whose goal is to kill Jews might be right about a lot of things. You might think it’s wrong to destroy that group because they’re right about some things. You might attend their rallies and not think too much about the people at that rally cosplaying as people that murder Jews.
See fascism isn’t really an ideology. It’s just emotional manipulation that exploits people’s predispositions. The goal of fascism is to get power through any means necessary. Socialists tend to think they’re immune to these manipulations, but that makes them all the more susceptible to certain kinds of manipulation. And a fascist will accept a socialist into their movement, so long as the socialist is useful in their goal of gaining (or maintaining) power.
