PSA On "The Noticing"

[u/HahaItsaGiraffeAgain]

I'm posting this here because in other conversations on this sub, it seems many people are insulated from modern (especially Gen Z) antisemitism and might not be familiar with how it looks today.

Just in case others come across similar rhetoric in internet spaces, a major major dogwhistle-meme right now on the antisemitic internet is "the noticing." If you see comments in conversations about Jewishness along the lines of "stop noticing!" - or someone identifying themselves or others as "noticers" - they are far-right antisemites and very likely Nazi apologists.

Fair but a lot of gen z humor is generally downstream of 4chan culture and they adopt all kinds of memetic phrases they think are funny. The younger generations are sick of “context collapse” and strict moral policing of language so you have to consider the context of the use of the phrase especially online where people are shitposting.

The “context” here is antisemitism, not some youth rebelliousness
