Thought it was Loss, turns out to be Nazis. Great.

I recognize the original, unmodified meme but I don't understand what the new (4th) panel is supposed to indicate. Could someone explain please?

"seeing patterns" is a dog whistle for hating Jewish people.

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

How to distinguish between normal talk about the topic and nazis? I'm confused, it's the first time I hear about this. This meme is ancient as well, although this specific variant makes zero sense to me.

Seeing a pattern on its own is fine. The reason the meme turns into a racist dog whistle is the fact that the person was banned for it.

Something innocent like amogus (which is most commonly used in the meme) doesn't result in a community ban.

I'll be honest, I have no idea how this is related to Nazis in any way at all.

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's gaining popularity again right now because of the Chatbot Grok who has been using it.

The Nazi part is that the pattern seen is how "Jews are always in charge when something bad happens" or when grok said that it could tell someone was evil because they had a Jewish sounding last name and it was able to pick up on the pattern.

"The pattern" is just an obfuscation of classic neo-nazi talking points and is kinda like the Nazi version of "just asking questions" where something that seems entirely innocent on its face has a hidden, much darker, meaning underneath it if you look into it literally at all.

Ah okay that makes more sense, thanks for the explanation.

[–] lemmyknow@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

Simple: it may sound innocent, but has a secret meaning behind it. 18? Hate speech?! You're crazy. That's just a number. Woke and DEI gone too far. Muh free speech

Eh??? I never heard this one before.

I associated fourth slide with him blocking ads (tracing behavioural patterns) and being blocked by social media due to "violation of policies".

It’s an old dogwhistle that recently rose to prominence because of Twitter’s Grok AI. Grok started saying it could see the patterns of how every time something bad in the world happened, Jewish people were in charge. And that put it into the recent zeitgeist, so memes like this naturally started popping up.

The meme is basically saying “I was banned for blatant antisemitism, and now I’m doubling down by posting a meme about it. The ban has only served to reinforce my idea that Jews secretly control the world.”

OP, you're a nazi. I would advise you to [redacted because I'm not sure how much disgust I can express before I risk being banned].

Almost missed the dogwhistle there, nice job

Some people say they "recognize patterns" of a disproportional Jewish influence over the world. Protesting this supposed conspiracy gets them banned from social media.

"Seeing patterns" without proper analysis and considering power dynamics is just tinfoil thought with misleading bite-sized statistics.

Unfortunately, the world is too complicated for such a simple approach.
