I would like to start that the reason I find US imperialism especially abhorrent is the fact that the country shouldn’t exist in the first place.
It’s a settler-colony of which each star in it’s represents a genocide of multiple Amerindian tribes.

That said, I’ll start with the list of red herrings, because they annoy me the most:

The list of red herrings:

1. The Jewish Occupational Government conspiracy

“It’s the Jews! The Jews are really controlling the earth, not the Anglo-Americans. In particular George Soros and the Rothschilds, the latter controlling all central banks and trillions worth of gold secretly in the Vatican.”

Occurance

Ukraine war news commentators and sites I follow.
Exclusively in the chat and comments sections.
These come from US Republican nazis and it’s vassals from their empire that hate the Democratic party more than they like Ukrainian white supremacists.

Rant

This annoys me first and foremost because it suggests that the real powers that be in the world reside in the EU and I just got to wonder why Italy isn’t the richest country in the world?
Also, since if the Rothschilds hide their gold in the Vatican, then why doesn’t the European central banks also stash their gold in the Vatican?
I’m sure it’s safer over there then to stash it in the US. It’s closer to home as well. And which security company is guarding the stash of gold?
Is the best security company in the world a European security company?
If it’s an American security company, then why haven’t they suggested to the Rothschilds to move their gold to the US?
And what’s with the heavy focus on Jews in Europe when there are more Jews living in the US?

The only European Jewish person with some real power is George Soros. But compared to even just the slew of Jewish Americans in the tech sector like Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page and others, he’s just a small fry.

I think the best conclusion one can get from Jews being rich is that most of them live in the US and in particular New York State, so one of the richest states of the US.

1a. The JOG WEF herring

“It’s the WEF! The WEF is really controlling the earth, founded by Klaus Schwab not the Anglo-Amerians. They are responsible for the economic collapse in the EU, by having Germany close down nuclear and coal power plants.”

Occurance

Some of the Ukraine war news commentators dabble in this. I believe at it’s core it’s PatSoc commentators doing this.
so they don’t have to fully blame their own government, and instead can blame foreign elites.
That said, US nazis likely started this.

Rant

Klaus Schwab is another Rich Jewish European that is nowhere near as powerful as George Soros, let alone Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Michael Bloomberg, Larry Fink etc.
He’s just the host of an elitist tea party and not the kind that protests against high tax rates, although considering the type of crowd that goes there, perhaps they do.

Closing down nuclear and coal power plants is a good idea. What’s not a good idea is sanctioning Russian gas, especially when warning everyone that Russia would cut off the gas in order to severely damage your economy, despite constant reassurance by the Russian government that they would continue all gas flows even during the Ukrainian war.

The reason why it’s a good idea, besides the fact that coal is the biggest pollutant on earth and nuclear meltdowns causes land to become inhospitable for a couple of decades, is because for the last few decades, both of these two energy sources have either been stagnant in cost or actually gone up, while natural gas, wind power and solar power all have gotten cheaper to the point that it makes sense to use those instead.

And the argument that the sun doesn’t always shine or the wind doesn’t always blow makes the so-called pro-economic tough-luck anti-renewable crowd even more hilarious, as wind and solar are doing economically fine in this scenario. When they work, they beat out coal and nuclear power plants completely from running. But for coal and nuclear power plants it’s an economic disaster, as the new reality for them is that they can only run 6 months a year, but having to pay the same maintenance cost.

So the so-called “pro-economic growth” side is talking all about how Germany should have just gone for the more expensive energy sources, because Germany needs to maximally sanction Russia at all costs without hurting oneself economically at all times whenever it suits the US.

And it’s the US, not the WEF that wanted Germany to close down Nord Stream 2. They have openly stated so.

The whole regret of low coal and nuclear is thus to have wanted Germany to economically shoot itself in the foot before any potential war even started.

1b. The JOG Cultural Marxist herring

It’s the Frankfurt school! That’s where all the US identity politics stems that causes a US cultural and therefor also economic downfall.

Occurances

I can’t remember anymore.
Likely a debunking youtube video (by Shaun?) of PragerU or SargonOfAkkad,
where cultural marxism was blamed for wokeism.
Yet again, likely started by US nazis,
this time picked up by those who hate communism.

Rant

By Frankfurt school these people mean Rich Jewish Academic “Marxist” Germans from the 1920s. I think we’re seeing a (💰 ✡️ 🇪🇺 or ☭ = 🚷) pattern here.
I put Marxist in quotes, because they veered off from it quite a lot as most of them were psychoanalytic sociologist philosophers who came up with coining the term “critical theory”, which means coming up with an idea of social change, consistently win the argument in discussions and then convince everyone to follow your ideology. So they saw communism as an ideology created this way and thought “we gotta have more of these ideologies so we can make even more social change making the world even better”.

This has been picked up by several Anglo-American feminists and LGBT-movements whom, like the Frankfurt scholars, also felt little for class struggle, but came up with their own theories and ideas on oppression.

Instead of dividing people into those who have capital and those that do not and those with capital being exploitative, they have more than a dozen types of divisions put into a progressive stack in which classism takes a backseat to around 10th place in terms of importance. The first place being sexism and second racism.

Conflating Anglo-American feminists with the Rich Jewish Academic “Marxist” psychoanalytic sociologist philosopher Germans at the Frankfurt School during the mid-early to mid-late 20th century and then calling the latter the originators of “Cultural Marxism”, which in the eyes of the latter meant practicing a type of research to form your new critical theory, has confused quite at the very least myself into thinking that “Cultural Marxism” acutually means marxism where people are divided into cultural hierarchies (sex, race, oriëntation, physical ability) rather than social class hierarchies.

And thus yet again, it’s another red herring.

      “I’m sort of confused about the point of this post. Wherever on the Internet you are running into anti-semitic conspiracy theories, you should just not go to that place, you’re talking to nazis.”

      The point is a rant against those that permanently try to shift the blame of the United States government to something else, where the United States government is clearly controlling the situation and not any other group or nation.

      I come across the nazis these days in Ukraine war commentators.

      “Also, maybe I’m misunderstanding here, but…are you comparing intersectional feminism to anti-semitic conspiracy theories?”

      The anti-semitic conspiracy theorists proclaims that intersectional feminism and what I argue was the start of wokeism, is that intersectional feminism is orchestrated by the Jews, specifically German Jews from the Frankfurt School.

      I’m comparing intersectional feminism to two things in my rant:

      1. Communism
      2. The academic “Cultural Marxists” hailing from Germany
        and indirectly a third:
      3. Fascism

      And in short:

      1. They veered too far off from it in my opinion.
      2. They’re not the same or an offshoot from one another.
      3. I see parallels in my critique on feminism/intersectional feminism/wokeism and fascism/naziism. They’re not the same though. They share about as much as my two-word opinion on them: Somewhat obstructive versus explosively destructive.
        They both share the word-part “structive”.

      Because

      1. US Intersectional feminists are not communists in my eyes.
      2. The US feminists incorporated ‘critical theory’ from this group. That’s about it. Those who believe otherwise will likely misunderstand what cultural marxism meant to the Frankfurt School as they’re only familiar with US woke culture.
      3. The progressive stack sounds awfully familiar to the racial stack of the nazis. And my biggest gripe with the US progressive stack is the order that I’m seeing. Feminist women are at the top, followed by the LGBT movement, followed by Afro-Americans. It dilutes class struggle and I also am… not sure what to call it, strong ethnic-preservationist? So I would like to see native Americans making a comeback in the Americas. The overwhelming focus in the US on non-prison racial slavery from 100+ years ago, when native Americans are living on reservations without electricity today, just irks me. That said, the US fascist ideology of “Why can’t white countries stay white and black countries stay black?” is something I give full support to them, and they’re happy with that until I debate them that the sentence should mean that US/Canada/Australia/New Zealand should go the way of Rhodesia back to Zimbabwe.
