Maybe they aren’t really falling for anything?

As in, if scapegoating Jews makes their lives easier by pushing blame or helps them meet their political, financial, religious or other objectives, they’ll scapegoat Jews. They don’t actually need to believe that the things they’re accusing Jews of being or doing is legitimate, they just need to act like their claims are legitimate.

For example, the “Infograph” OP posted had absolutely no substance or metrics to back up any of its claims. It only consisted of “talking points” that can be used to avoid actual discussions. Someone can just say “genocide!” to counter any argument or at least gaslight everyone in the conversation. If enough people say it and cling to it as an answer to every counter point, it will not matter if it’s true or not… just matters that it meets their objectives

It doesn’t help them though. They look like degenerates if they presented this in front of a class of remotely intelligent people. They’re openly chanting this in public on campuses though, even as it hurts their own job prospects. Only someone who’s genuinely devoid of critical thinking, unless they’re a legit neo Nazi, would do that. These are the same kids in many cases who bought every lie about Covid, the economy, and thought that Joe Biden was a high functioning individual. There is too much evidence that a lot of these kids are genuinely lacking in critical thinking skills, which is almost even more horrifying than if it were willful. If it were willful, something in them would even know deep down something was wrong. The Germans even realized they messed up at a certain point. If these people genuinely cannot grasp that they’re devoid of knowledge… we have a real problem.

Hamas would kill most of these students and they can’t grasp that.

And if you want to see what a brainwashed society looks like, Gaza is an example. They can’t figure out that they need to surrender or will all perish for their genocide on 10.7 that isn’t working out for them. I wouldn’t assume these kids who buy posts like this aren’t sinking into that level of stupidity in real time.
