- the use of (((triple parentheses))) which represent perceived Jewish involvement in mass media, mass immigration, and global Zionism.
- calling ppl (specifically Jewish people) lizard people, aliens, etc. All of these lead back to antisemitic conspiracy theories.
-“New York Values” which due to New York’s large number of Jewish residents is used as a stand in for saying Jewish values or interests.
-using the names of well known Jewish people as shorthand for anti-government conspiracies, control over the population, etc.
- references to nameless, mysterious “elites” with no specifics given to who they are. Also references to a “new world order.” Both of these dogwhistles are tied to conspiracies that claim a shadowy group of powerful Jewish people are controlling the world.
-any and all of the above antisemitic dogwhistles combined with invoking blood libel (which refers to the allegation that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish, usually Christian children, for ritual purposes.) Example: Someone saying that mysterious, wealthy elites are trying to drink/consume the blood of kidnapped youth.
This isn’t everything but these seem to be the dogwhistles tumblr is too stupid to stop spreading. If you want to read more about this I’ll include some links.
-google “how to spot antisemitic dogwhistles” and you can find multiple articles breaking down various statements that are used as poorly veiled attacks on Jewish people.
Yet it is the most extreme evaluations of the statistical data that seem to drive the treatment of pregnant women with high BMIs in many doctors’ offices. That and a deep-seated and sometimes unconscious bias against big bodies.
The approach isn’t unique to pregnancy. Study after study finds that heavy people are routinely treated worse than normal-weight patients in doctors’ offices and that this discrimination can directly contribute to many of the diseases that we associate with obesity, such as heart disease and stroke, as well as mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders.
“There’s an embarrassment that comes along with being a heavy person going into a doctor’s office,” Hilary said. “You know no matter what’s going on in your body, the first thing that’s going to be talked about is your weight. You’re immediately on the defense.”
Many physicians look down on heavier women. One Australian study found that maternity care providers perceived overweight and obese women as worse at self-management than thin women. They also had less positive attitudes toward caring for these women than for their normal-weight counterparts.
That Trump could say the government shutdown could last for years reminds me of this passage from To our friends:
Anyone who means to undertake anything whatsoever against the existing world must start from there: the real power structure is the material, technological, physical organization of this world. Government is no longer in the government. The “power vacuum” that lasted in Belgium for more than a year is a clear example in point. The country was able to function with no government, elected representatives, parliament, political debate, or electoral issues, without any part of its normal operation being affected. Same thing in Italy, which has been going from “technical government” to “technical government” for years now, and it doesn’t bother anyone that this expression goes back to the Manifesto-program of the Futurist Party of 1918, which incubated the first fascists.
