This guy is serving Karl Lueger. I wonder if they have any similarities?
Catholic antisemite Mike Lawler, who's supported the greatest explosion of Nazism in American history, is now separating the Good Jews from the Bad Jews:

Als campagnevoerder, redenaar en antisemiet wees Karl Lueger de weg aan Adolf Hitler, die in Mein Kampf zijn bewondering voor de Weense burgemeester beschreef. Maar er waren ook grote tegenstellingen tussen Hitler en zijn vroege held, lees je in ons nieuwe nummer. buff.ly/kYyyXbe

and an open mind. Pattern recognition. In Austria we had Dr Karl Lueger who used the exact same words & tactics 120 years ago. Some phrases ‚they are monsters…‘ seem like literal translation of his antisemitic speeches. Mamdani feels like a copycat of populist 19th century jew hate. Gnostic sects &

believes are shapeshifters, like jew hate always wearing new clown costumes. The underlying pattern remains the same. Lueger became the role model of adolf hitler. I am not very curious whom Mamdani is going to inspire. I don‘t want to witness this predictable future for the jews of the world.

Some words are weapons, and they will seek provenance in academic texts, but the watchword is always the harmful noise that seeks to diminish a person's experience. Karl Lueger said, "I will decide who a Jew is", because the word itself was enough. It would be irrelevant if you weren't.

Thanks. Had not heard of Lueger...

The reverse Karl Lueger.

Some see Lueger as a cynic: although he weaponized antisemitism, the Jews of Vienna were not molested, & he had Jewish friends (he famously said, "I determine who is a Jew").

But Richard Levy said, "it was under Lueger that Austrians became accustomed to the revilement of Jews"

Als die Identitären eine Kundgebung vor dem Denkmal des Antisemiten Dr. Karl Lueger abgehalten haben, hat die Polizei sie vor den Gegendemos geschützt. Ich habe daraufhin einem der Bullen ganz tief in die Augen geschaut, bis er mir meine Kapuze vor mein Gesicht gezogen hat.

There are Nazis, & there are forerunners of Nazism. Today is the birthday of Karl Lueger (1844), the Mayor of Vienna who, through his Christian Social Movement, not only improved the city & services, but also pioneered a new populist politics of resentment, including antisemitism

Lueger's legacy still sparks controversy, much of it focused on the physical reminders of his career: above all, a prominent statue. In Vienna, as elsewhere there were calls for demolition

Jetzt unterzeichnen: Lueger-Denkmal abreißen!
Wien muss sich weiter mit seiner Vergangenheit beschäftigen und diese vollständig aufarbeiten. So kann ein Beitrag gegen Antisemitismus geleistet werden.

When I took Roland Sarti's class on fascism at U-Mass, we dealt with Lueger at some length. One of Professor Sarti's doctoral candidates wrote a book about this "fuhrer."

To wrap up this little 🧵, here's a bonus:

You can show your friends that you are more historically sophisticated than they are by correctly pronouncing

Lueger as ˈlu̯eːɡɐ

Both the u and the e are pronounced: they are not equivalent to ü

Prosit!

Lueger--known as Handsome Karl--was popular as well as populist. Here, a condolence card to an unnamed recipient, and a medal in which "Christian Austria" (then and there, as here & now, the adjective is used pointedly) honors "the great man of the people" on his birthday in 1904

In the end, the city came up with a creative solution (though it did not satisfy all): a winning proposal resulted in tilting the statue 3.5 degrees to the right and adding contextual explanation and installations

That makes the entire thing feel like "Yeah so all that stuff I said? Well Abdul El-Sayed supports it!"

Just casual implying this guy from Michigan is a Muslim Brotherhood puppet.

Welcome back Karl Lueger!

Karl Lueger - “I decide who Is a Jew.”

Donald is the new Karl Lueger.
