ADL sees uptick in antisemitic propaganda in 2021

White supremacist propaganda dipped slightly in 2021 after hitting a record high in 2020, but antisemitic speech jumped 27 percent, according to figures compiled by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

The ADL tracked a total of 4,851 incidents of White supremacist hate speech, ranging from content seen on fliers, stickers, posters and even graffiti. The figure represented a drop of roughly 5 percent from 2020, which saw a record-breaking 5,125 incidents.

But the minimal dip in overall hate speech was coupled with a surge in antisemitic propaganda.

Among the images included in the report are propaganda calling "every single aspect of the Covid agenda" Jewish, incorrectly identifying several public health experts as Jewish.

Jan. 6 and the prosecution of Kyle Rittenhouse have also been popular topics.

No! Really? Can't say I am surprised. From Q-Anon, to white "supremacists", to people looking to blame us and proxies for every fucking ill in the world, from COVID to the current conflict in Ukraine, this is hardly surprising, but it is still news and should be seen as such!
