ADL Weaponizes Antisemitism to Advance the Democrat Party - Glenn Greenwald

"The ADL has now radically transformed into something much different. Indeed, in many ways, it has become an utterly fraudulent organization. Its work now has very little to do with combatting antisemitism.Show more

That's just the marketing costume or the pretext it uses to wield power. The real mission of the ADL could not be clearer. It's to advance the interest of the Democratic party.

To ensure the empowerment of Democratic party leaders and to protect and preserve the dominant ideology that the establishment wings of both political parties are devoted to. In particular, to protect the status quo ideology from meaningful dissent and populist anger.

The ADL is in the news this week because it all but demanded the power to dictate to X, formerly known as Twitter, and to its owner, Elon Musk, what political views can and cannot be heard on the platform...

The tactic of the ADL is thuggish, but it's also now common among liberal institutions.

Namely, they explicitly threaten that these companies either obey the ADL censorship demands or stand formally accused by the ADL of being anti-Semites or somehow promoting other strains of bigotry.

Which can destroy the reputations of anyone they so accuse and destroy their ability to attract corporate advertisers necessary to the survival and prosperity of these platforms.

In other words, like most liberal establishment institutions, the ADL has cynically weaponized and thus completely trivialized what ought to be serious concepts relating to bigotry.

In doing so, they are attempting to seize the power to dictate what you can and cannot say, which political opinions you may and may not express over virtually every consequential online platform, with very severe, severe real-world consequences if you violate their decrees."
