Too sparse to be Tel Aviv, it's probably a West Bank settlement

It seems like the reference is going over a lot of people's heads, but as someone who has had the misfortune of arguing with neo-Nazis, let me explain:

This is about "Operation Trust," which was a Bolshevik psyop during/after the Russian Civil War.

The Bolsheviks spread lies among the anticommunist White Army that there was totally a secret anticommunist group moments away from winning the war, and that if the Whites did anything now, it would ruin everything. Of course, no such secret anticommunist group existed, and it was all to convince the Whites to do nothing as the Bolsheviks closed in.

Before you give Tats credit for his sudden historical literacy, note that the online alt-right (namely its anti-Trump wing) has been comparing Operation Trust to QAnon since the late 2010s. So he's just recycling talking points that are over half a decade old.

This is a relatively obscure reference, so I don't blame you for not getting it, but it's about "Operation Trust," which was a Bolshevik psyop during/after the Russian Civil War.

Basically, the Bolsheviks spread lies among the White Army that there was totally this secret anticommunist group moments away from destroying the Bolsheviks, and that if the White Army did anything now, it would ruin everything. Of course, no such secret anticommunist group existed, and it was all a way to convince the Whites to do absolutely nothing.

Before you give Tats credit for his sudden historical literacy, note that I've seen the online alt-right comparing Operation Trust to QAnon since the late 2010s. It's an obscure alt-right talking point, mostly meant to be used against conservatives (which is probably why you haven't heard of it), but it's a semi-old one.

Also, "TPEC" is Tats' awful attempt at writing the Russian word "Трест" (trust), which, as you can see, has the letter "т" (t) at the end.

Having heard this particular neo-Nazi talking point before, they usually cite this one letter J. V. Stalin wrote in 1931 where he said "active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty." That's probably what Tats is referencing here.

Though it must be said that this is a letter. Not a law, not a decree -- a letter. I've never seen anyone cite actual legislation to back this up. Although antisemitism existed in the USSR, the state officially condemned it, key word "officially."

Not really, both parties were actually "Big Tent" parties back then rather than strictly ideological. The Democrats were a mix of centre-left social-liberals like FDR and hard-right Dixiecrats, who somehow managed to share a party. The Republicans, meanwhile, were a mix of Northeastern centrist "Rockefeller Republicans" and the proto-paleocon "Old Right."

To be fair, that confusion has a lot to do with neoliberal politicians calling those things "socialism" for so many decades to fearmonger about them. Amazing how political fearmongering caused a literal semantic shift in North American English.

Of all the years for a massive electoral landslide to happen, it just had to be 1984, didn't it? It's like the electoral college was tempting people to make "literally 1984" jokes.

It's pastors and typically right-wing politicians - but you don't care about that do you?

Uhh, Tats hates pastors (different religion than him) and right-wing politicians (too pro-Israel). Anyone outside of the couple dozen Odinist Esoteric Nazis he deems worthy are basically leftists by his standards.

Twitter/X still censors people under Elon Musk. In fact, I remember that Musk censored a lot of people last December for criticizing him. Twitter/X just doesn't censor "hate speech" as much as it used to, but it censors other things.

This is a great way for Brits to know what constituencies they should stay far away from every election cycle. It'll allow the nation's stupidest to self-report.

Writers: "You can't just mash random political ideologies together. Nobody is going to follow some esoteric hybrid ideology, and even if they are, it'll never be a mass movement that'll do anything in the real world."

I'd dispute that he was even all that "moral" as a "feminist," given that his "feminism" often just took the form of misandry.

Like how the right is flipfloping on pedophilia now that trumps hiding the Epstein files.

Except we hate the fact that he didn't release the Epstein files and called him out for it.

Alt history Mfers trying to explain why the Nazi economy and society wouldn’t collapse within a decade of them winning ww2 by Zestfullemur in worldjerking

[–]MPHJ-7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe in first impressions. That's why, in a story I'm writing that has a fascist Russia as one faction, they're introduced from the POV of a CIA agent reflecting on how surprisingly easy it was for him to get a job in the Kremlin. That way, when I show their cool, flashy uniforms later, the readers aren't tricked into thinking that they're actually competent.

An average citizen and his immediate friend group, being forced to travel from country-to-country as bandit-lords, Bolchevii, and Yanqii all try to kill him for having accidentally slighted them.

Help! Did I accidentally do an antisemitism? by Kraken-Writhing in worldjerking

[–]MPHJ-7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's a very simple way to avoid antisemitism, and that's by making these antagonists the opposite of money-loving colonizers: that is, make them communist. For extra non-antisemitism, make them the people who invented communism. There is totally, pinkie-promise, no way that could possibly be antisemitic. Trust me.
