Goyim Defense League

If I run into a nazi and he tells me that he’s part of the Goyim Defense League I would assume I was being pranked. Sounds like something out of a Mel Brooks movie

Jewish supremacism is a real thing (as we can see from how the IDF treats palestinians) and in Hebrew there is a term for non-jewish people, “goyim”. It is sometimes used in a derogatory way. Nazis have decided to capitalize on the existence of this term, and they now use it way more than actual Jewish people do. They love to make memes where, like, some antisemitic caricature calls a white man a “good goy” for having left wing opinions, etc. etc. It’s very repugnant stuff. I’ve seen it for years coming out of nazi cesspits like /pol/. They also love to say that America is a “ZOG” (zionist occupied government). And then some of the neo-pagan nazis like to also pretend that all of Christianity (and sometimes also Islam) is a Jewish psy-op because they’re all Abrahamic religions. This is particularly useful rhetoric for them, because it allows them to pretend that the American government, which is overwhelmingly full of white christian straight cisgender men, is some kind of “Jewish” government. Also they let the tail wag the dog with regards to Israel. They pretend that Israel has “colonized” America because they receive so much military aid from America, when really, Israel is mostly a NATO settler-colony in the levant. i.e. the reason Israel receives aid is because they have become a Forward Operating Base for the imperial core bourgeoisie to carry out imperialism in the middle east. Ironically I would also say that Israel is a result of antisemitism in the first place, because the whole reason Jews wanted to set up a Jewish state was because Europeans kept doing pogroms against them.

I saw it as funny fascist infighting, but I haven’t considered your angle before.

Yeah it just seems so terminally online and out of touch with the real world. to go out into the real world and call yourself the “Goyim Defense League” demonstrates such an intensely warped worldview that just screams 4chan idiot in a way that has to drive away potential support (right???). There are genuinely scary and dangerous looking fash groups in the USA that are almost certainly as bigoted as these dumbasses, but they are better tapped into the American fascist aesthetic.

99.999% of Americans are brainless sheeple that treat 4chan like gospel, so of course they’d be familiar with the term “goy”.

Most of what’s wrong with the internet comes from 4Chan- the people Something Awful insists they threw out because they were too shitty, yet still won’t apologize for.
