You just know that Mike Pence requested that the condoms be covered with a towel or jacket before he started speaking.

Wow, just caught wind of this - has anyone heard of an octopus being an anti-semetic thing? I mean, I know the old propaganda posters of an octopus covering the globe - but that wasn't just a jewish thing. I'm more familiar with it depicting Japan... Right wing tabloids absolutely love attacking the autistic girl - and the comments are filled with nutjobs.

Lololololol at no point before the 21st century did anyone consider an octopus to be antisemitic trope.

Next it's gonna be that Bonds "Spectre" was an antisemitic trope.....despite it being based on The Paladin Group

Speaking of a thousands of people marching to accomplish one of The Paladin Groups goals

I think its meaningfully a few months old, just an in-joke meme that the frogboys are using to mess with people. Like that stupid "okay" hand gesture a few years ago.

I haven't seen any meme related stuff about it yet (haven't looked a ton) - but I keep seeing references to this: Jewish octopus poster

The Guardian pulled a cartoon earlier this year that got called out for antisemitism:

Author Dave Rich, who has written on antisemitism, wrote on Twitter the cartoon "falls squarely into an antisemitic tradition of depicting Jews with outsized, grotesque features, often in conjunction with money and power".

He pointed out such caricatures had been used by both the Nazis and in the Soviet Union.

Highlighting the symbolism within the cartoon, on the squid, Mr Rich said: "Yes, Sharp worked for Goldman Sachs, which was famously described in @RollingStone as 'a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money'".

But he added: "The problem is that a squid or octopus is also a common antisemitic motif, used to depict a supposed Jewish conspiracy with its tentacles wrapped around whatever parts of society the Jews supposedly control. Especially money. Are those gold coins in the box with Sharp's squid?"

But if you image search "Octopus Propaganda," it's hard to find a group that hasn't been depicted this way. If you ask me, it's more evidence that right wingers and fascists will take any opportunity to rail against climate activists.

"Outlawing slavery is basically kink shaming" is a take I was not expecting!

Gina Carano finally making it as an actress and then lighting her entire career on fire because posting anti-vaxxer shit on Twitter was more important is probably how I'm going to explain this decade to the kids when I'm 60.

Conservative pastor kills himself after being outed as a cross dresser by some right wing website. I can remember people like Larry Craig from 20 years ago and really just feel like they got what they deserved but this just makes me feel sick. I can't imagine the kind of deeply conflicted self image this person must have lived through. I don't want to white knight the guy either if he pushed public policy that helped make life unbearable for gay/trans. Just a totally fucked situation all around.
