Normies dont know what blood libel means. I mean normies having absolutely no idea what the nazis were about aside from invade countries kill jews. Most people think the sole reason Hitler came to power was so he could kill jews amd all ww2 axis actions were in the name of king jews. At least in my public education and subsequent being around local normies. Thar being said the majority of said normies know what Israel is doing is a genocide and absolutely evil despite all of that cause they have hearts. Turns out ee dont need to make it that complicated anyway.
I dislike "normie" talk. Regardless, you are right that the general public isn't familiar with blood libel as a term, or at least very many are unaware of it. You know what a very effective way of making them aware of it has been? Connecting it to current events! Many more people know the term now than in 2020, and more learn each day, and it serves basically no purpose but to encourage people to view Jews as historical villains, i.e. to make people fascists.
This is, unfortunately, the most likely outcome for many if the US and "Israeli" media apparatus are allowed to carry on like this forever.
I agree we should shy away from using the language of our enemies.
I agree, but mostly because I can't hear "normie" without thinking of that awful Garbage Pail Kids movie
Fun fact, garbage pail kids cards were produced by the same company that made the Mars Attacks cards and that movie fucking rules.
That's basically what my last two sentences were. Turns out most people have hearts and dont need to be historically persuaded into thinking genocide is wrong.
I'm always surprised when no one understands the underpinnings of WWII and what fascism is or how it always starts or what it promises to solve in a broken nation.
But then, I'm the only person in my IRL circles who refers to it as the Great Patriotic War, and one of only three who know the Nazis targeted trans people first (and one of those other two only knows that much because he's trans and one of those left anarchists - he's a pain, but he'll probably come around when he's older and infighting with him gets me nowhere so I just shut up when he talks politics), so I shouldn't be that surprised. And I'm not. I'm pleasantly surprised when anyone I actually know understands that WWII was about more than the Holocaust and that fascism is about far more than genociding a single scapegoat group, because that is a surprisingly high bar to clear. When I hear a fellow Western person use the term "Great Patriotic War" though, I do expect that they know at least as much as I do, but I'll forgive not knowing much about the Western Allies, if they know a reasonable amount about the Soviets. I've never been let down too badly in that context, at least.
