Small-Scale Question Sunday for February 26, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Does anyone have any thoughts on “day of hate”? Might make post about it this week

I'm very suspicious. The point is to record yourself posting antisemitic fliers and then put the recordings online. Not to blame everything on the FBI, but is this a trick?

Also I skimmed a few news articles but couldn't find a primary source for the day of hate. Is this all some tiny discord group or other tiny group? Is this real in any sense other than overblown articles and public statements?

In short, the origin is one guy from Iowa, who does not belong to a group, who may or may not be real or a fed, who is only known for giving out free heil hitlers at the Iowa capitol building. His telegram post got limited engagement (four emotes) and only 1000 views when I saw it, up to 999 of which could be journalists / curious people and not supporters. The group who originally put this out is funded by a prominent billionaire, whose wife’s family runs a major bank in Israel, and who is best known for lobbying to get us into war with Iran and funding ultra-orthodox groups which want to make the conversion process more difficult. It is very interesting, I’ll make cited post later this week

I posted most of what I was able to find. If you know more or better, I'd be interested to hear that.

The TLDR I'm getting is that none of this even tries to sound real.

Please do, this sounds interesting.
