courting antisemitism

so i recently decided to take a look at the latest stonetoss comics (probably because i love suffering). and while i was expecting some content on the israel palestine conflict, what i did not expect was how... standard it seemed. well, most of it at least, but i'll get to that in a second.

for context, if you don't know what stonetoss is, it's a (poorly drawn) webcomic known for having radical alt-right views - meaning it's incredibly racist, homophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, antisemitic. all that fun stuff.

so while i was expecting to see bad stuff, one of the first things i saw on the topic of israel was this:

terrible art aside, this comic is making a point that i usually see in left wing circles: that israel is pinkwashing genocide.

curious if there was more like this, i kept looking, and the comic right before that one was this:

again, this makes points that i usually see in left wing circles. that american healthcare is crazy expensive, that canada tells poor people to commit suicide, and that israel is bombing hospitals.

why does stonetoss, this well known alt-right nutjob, now seem to be bringing up left-wing talking points?

curious, i kept going deeper:

well this is... odd. clearly, stonetoss is trying to say that israel is on another level of bad, even worse than russia, iran, and north korea. i can possibly see someone on the left making the argument that the russian invasion of ukraine isn't as bad as what israel is doing in gaza, or that at least north korea isn't invading any other countries, but... iran??? the country that has a police force designed to enforce religious law, and gets away with murdering women who do not properly cover their hair? the country that props up paramilitary groups in countries all over the middle east, including lebanon, yemen, and yes, palestine?? that's completely ridiculous

but, given how much more israel is in the news nowadays than any of these other countries, i could see why someone would buy this

and now, we're starting to get to the crux of what stonetoss is trying to do. when someone sees this, they might be inclined to agree with it. they might begin to think that israel is the worst country on the planet

and that might not seem so bad at first. but the more you hate israel, especially irrationally, the more you feel allowed to dehumanize those who support it. the more you might be willing to agree with this comic, which came out two days prior to the one above

this comic says that jews, as a whole have no desire to exist with other people. it is blatantly antisemitic

i'm sure you could imagine some young leftist who sees the comics above this one and thinks, "this guy makes some good points". and then, when they get to this one, they might realize that this is antisemitism

or, they may not.

and that would start them down the road to becoming an antisemite.

this is what stonetoss and other alt-right nutjobs are hoping to achieve. to take left wing fury at israel, and direct it at jews.

we saw it with those neo-nazis at the palestine rally, and we're seeing it again here.

and if you've found yourself agreeing with what stonetoss has said so far, i would like you to see the last comic stonetoss put out before october 7th:

this horrifically racist comic is in reference to an environmental activist who was murdered by a black man in early october. this blatantly racist garbage is the kind of stuff stonetoss usually puts out.

but as soon as october 7th happened? these were his next two comics:

stonetoss completely changed the comic's tone as soon as the current crisis started. why?

to get as many people as possible to get on board with hating jews.

and i know many of you might be thinking that "well, everyone knows that stonetoss is racist garbage. nobody is going to fall for this"

except, as we saw with the neo-nazis at the rally for palestine, it's not always that obvious who the antisemites are and who is just rallying for peace. they are often a lot better at disguising it than stonetoss is.

AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THAT

EVERYONE, no matter HOW much experience you have, can fall victim to propoganda. EVERYONE needs to be aware of what people around them are saying, and able to pick out hateful rhetoric, because even the stuff that is just kind of toeing the line of what's hateful is still putting your foot in the door

be cautious, everyone. and stomp out hate where you see it.

Amazing happening for humanity - Stonetoss was Doxxed, found out his neonazi affiliations, alt accounts, how he did own RedPages, and him being in Spring, Texas. Cannot recommend reading more - https://accollective.noblogs.org/post/2024/03/12/stonetoss-redpanels/

UPDATE: Original Twitter post by @AnonCommieStan has been removed from Twitter and their account

Banned indefinitely.

Seems Musk wants nazis' identities hidden, though kept Stonetoss, who is now using the attention to promote his plushie of himself -_-

Musk and Twitter are being accused of hypocrisy, given their claimed free-speech aspirations. But it's not as if there's much history of him or it living up to those standards in the first place. Twitter often censors commentators there—left wing ones, more often than not. Its policy against doxxing was applied here, but reactionary accounts are generally free to publicize the identities behind internet accounts that displease them and there are examples of Musk personally approving of doxxing individuals on the platform.

I got this meme from @marionumber4, though I'm not sure if they'll get banned or not for this.

Stonetoss (Nazi comic artist with no chin) got doxxed on Twitter and Elon Musk has been deleting and sometimes banning anybody who says his name.

It was a 99 Tweet long thread of his name, face, town he lives in and I heard it also included his workplace. It detailed how his comics were connected to some right-wing mass shooters and talked about how he's a bigot.

It's been archived on different websites despite Elon's efforts to un-dox (doxx?) him. I'm not going to post any of the archives because i only glanced at it and I don't want to get banned from Tumblr for doxxing, but his info is out there.

The top image is referring to the time Elon Musk unbanned somebody who got banned for posting screenshots of Daisy's Destruction because they're "friends" or whatever the fuck he said.

OK, I hate to link to the shit site but this is big news.

[fireleaptfromhousetohouse]

Can you believe the illiberal left would doxx someone just for um. Just for uh. Alright, first what you have to understand is that denying the Holocaust is merely a bit of lighthearted fun

[itisiives]

Oh, yeah, I was censored on Twitter because I participated in the "neo-Nazi cartoonist Stonetoss is actually Spring, Texas resident Hans Kristian Graenbener" bandwagon. Did I tell y'all that?

[estrogeneral-intelligence]

Get fuckin got, idiot.

[rav-rabies]

Went to the ER. Came home took a nap and woke up to:

Stonetoss doxxed. (not shocked by it happening or how he looks)

The creator of Mandela catalog is a creep. (Was surprised)

Andrew Tate was arrested again. (ha ha)

And GamerGate 2 might be happening. (Ugggggh)

[epilepticsaints]

[internetfunnyname]

And here's the drawn version:

[psychiccat]

Stonetoss is a piece of shit because he is an antisemite transphobic homophobic racist ableist asshole, not because he is fat or going bald or "looks weird", holy fuck please stop with this bullshit, this happens every single time, there is so much stuff to say about him what's the point of zeroing on his hairline?

To hell with StoneToss, though I am assuming that the correct stone has been tossed.

Assuming that the correct scoundrel has been identified, please keep the following in mind as we revel in his outing:

1) Refrain from insults about his physical appearance; he may or may not read those insults, but plenty of good folks with such physical traits will be hurt.

StoneToss is despicable because of his hateful propaganda, not because of his physical appearance.

2) Refrain from jokes mocking straight male virgins or scapegoating straight male virgins. Misogyny is the problem, not being a straight male virgin, and certainly not being a straight male virgin who has had bad luck finding dates.

3) Refrain from penis jokes and circumcision jokes. This invalidates and trivialises the various issues that affect folks who have a penis or had penile circumcision.

As far as I can see, the only joke or critique that should be made regarding StoneToss' (admittedly oddly worded) vent about his circumcision (assuming that the correct person has been outed) is that The Jews™ had nothing to do with his circumcision.

The popularisation of circumcision among white gentile Americans was a Christian phenomena rooted in puritanical anxiety about youth sexuality.
