RT @ScottMcConnell9: Does anyone else think "the Commanders" might be offensive to the millions victimized by Washington's foreign policy? — PolitiTweet.org

@ADomingoLealHTX That’s a fair point. — PolitiTweet.org

Failing to grasp this, the most pro-Jewish of Gentiles can be declared anti-Semites. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Whoopi attempted to universalize or Christianize the Holocaust by describing it as “man’s inhumanity towards man.” But again, this is not the full lesson of the Holocaust, which is solely about man’s inhumanity towards Jews. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The power of Christ’s suffering, on the other hand, is that it can be universalized, applied, and experienced in one’s own life. One can see Christ in the suffering of a persecuted outsider. One can, in part, experience Christ’s travails through self-denial and loss. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

When Whoopi, et al. try appling the lessons of the Holocaust in a Christian, universal manner, they get lambasted—criticized to the point of losing their jobs and status in media and Hollywood. The Holocaust can only be about the Jews; no comparisons are morally possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

However, Whoopi, et al. failed to grasp that the Holocaust is essentially and irreducible a Jewish matter. It isn’t like mask mandates (fair enough); nor can it be compared to mass killings in the Soviet Union or Cambodia. It is uniquely Jewish and must be understood as such. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Pro-Jewish Gentile figures, like Whoopi, Carano, and RFK, thus find themselves in a conundrum. They have imbibed the half-lesson that the Holocaust is an event of preeminent importance—maybe the negative moral center of the universe—“nothing is as bad as the Holocaust.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Granted, these comparisons were pretty hamfisted, but that’s not the point. At the end of the day, *nothing* can be compared to the Holocaust, not even similar 20th-century genocides. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In contemporary discourse, the Holocaust should be frequently evoked and always remembered—but never used in a comparison or analogy. Robert Kennedy Jr. and Gina Carano (among countless others) generated outrage by comparing the Holocaust to Covid-era government mandates. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

But I don’t think Whoopi’s comments drew the ire of major Jewish figures because she “retro-fitted” current racial categories onto Third Reich-era Germany. The main issue is that she doesn’t talk about the Holocaust properly, or doesn’t grasp its implicit moral lesson in full. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The question of Jews “whiteness”—whether they are considered White and consider themselves White—is a prickly one. Jews are “Non-Hispanic White” according to the U.S. Census, and must navigate difficult waters, as the “assimilationist” ethic is displaced by “diversity.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Yes, yes, on one level, Whoopi’s comments were ahistorical, or just “cringe.” She seemed to be saying that The Holocaust was “white-on-white violence”; it wasn’t about “race,” since in Whoopi’s America, Jews are considered “White.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Furthermore, Whoopi’s “controversial” comments on The View were in no way an attempt to minimize or deny the enormity of the Holocaust—but in fact were an effort at making the Holocaust the moral center of the contemporary world. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In other words, Whoopi adopted the name Goldberg in the name of “philo-Semitism” or “pro-Judaism.” She saw herself as “part of the tribe” in the sense that she embodied a legacy of suffering and outsider status. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In fact, Whoopi doesn’t have any Jewish (or German) ancestry. She adopted the name in the 1970s and ‘80s, as the Holocaust was becoming salient and powerful as a symbol of suffering and persecution. Perhaps she understood her African-American heritage as a kind of “Judaism.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The article mentions a less charitable theory: Whoopi chose the name as a way of getting a leg up in Hollywood and Broadway, as many Jews are successful king-makers in the entertainment industry. For what it’s worth, her star turn came in Steven Spielberg’s *The Color Purple.* — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

According to Whoopi: “My mother did not name me Whoopi, but Goldberg is my name, it's part of my family, part of my heritage. Just like being black." https://t.co/xYHwjL4uhv — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Perhaps the oddest thing about the Whoopi Goldberg controversy is the actress’s choice of stage names—“Goldberg.” To make matters even odder, Whoopi—born Caryn Johnson—truly believes that she has Jewish heritage. — PolitiTweet.org

Pierre Trudeau was a decidedly “fashy” version of the Canadian Left, at least when it came to law and order. I’m not sure Justin inherited his father’s spine. https://t.co/IdRvhONMFB — PolitiTweet.org

“We must protect the DNA of criminal psychopaths and men too weak, sick, and ugly to get a girl.” Christians are the only beings in the universe capable of making such an appeal. https://t.co/Xz1EF3IrIt — PolitiTweet.org

@PoliticalProfi1 @BruceTitan12 Tucker’s criticism was utterly incoherent and self-serving. He’s the one promoting the idea that mRNA vaccines are dangerous and should be taken off the market. So why complain that they’re not being delivered first to older White people? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@PoliticalProfi1 @BruceTitan12 Very early on, it was clear that Covid was spreading faster and was more deadly in Black areas. Additionally, races with darker skin synthesize less Vitamin D than Whites in colder environments with less sunlight. So the public health decision was rational—in fact, HBD informed! — PolitiTweet.org

More of a conversation about this issue than a formal debate. Should be enlightening. — PolitiTweet.org

@watchingspirals They don’t actually want to win, nor do they want to promote a message beyond reactionary rw nonsense. They just follow the Nehlen path. — PolitiTweet.org
