One of the first things I ever saw on the Internet, and still one of my favorites.

I bet there's a back end for people offering Scenic Rim Jobs too.

Shit like this is what the Internet is for.

You hear the quote "they move millions in dark money to preserve their power and turn us against each other" and think it's from Nazi Germany or the KKK, but no! It's mayor of the most Jewish city in the diaspora Zohran Mamdani!

It occurred to me that, besides the invoking (intentionally or not) antisemitic tropes, fundamentally what Mamdani was saying was that he didn't think people who disagreed with him politically should be able to fundraise and donate money to a political cause of their choice. That because they disagreed with him (and because he stood for Truth and Justice) their political activism should be viewed as suspect and as fundamentally evil. And fuck that shit! I don't agree with AIPAC, but Mamdani's argument is fundamentally undemocratic, so fuck him.

What's the over/under on Mamdani reposting a political cartoon of a giant world-spanning octopus with a hooked nose and a kippah labelled "AIPAC" within the next month, and his supporters trying to claim there's nothing antisemitic about that and "tentacles are a common symbol for control" or some other mental gymnastics about a meme that's lifted completely unmodified from Nazi propaganda posters except for changing the name?
