Most readers probably heard about his opposition to the Paramount/Skydance merger. Because he dared to criticize a business transaction desired by one of the biggest Epstein Class Jewish billionaires, he was swiftly labeled antisemitic.
Things became heated. The Guardian reported that over 170 Jewish academics and artists signed a letter this week in support of Ruffalo and his comments.
Most people who learned accurate history about the Holocaust are horrified of being called *antisemitic. *Jewish people have survived egregious indignities for millennia, and it is wrong to hate people for being Jewish.
But that’s not what’s happening here. Dragging out the antisemitic epithet is brilliant psychological manipulation.
It attempts to focus negative attention on the person protesting an action instead of the people committing monopoly, censorship, 24/7 surveillance, fascism, and who knows what else.
It draws attention away from how this group has hollowed out and crushed every other entity it has purchased, turning them into propaganda mouthpieces for the Epstein Class and its techno-fascist aims.
It forces people to brawl about Israel/Gaza instead of caring that another major piece of our media/information sphere could be controlled by Epstein Class fascists who have championed 24/7 surveillance of all society and are actively funding the experimental creation of such a place in Gaza.
The above statements have nothing to do with whether or not people are Jewish and everything to do with whether or not they are psychotic, narcissistic, evil fascists. But because of how the word antisemitic gets flung around, we forget that evil comes in all kinds of packages. It isn’t limited to race, nationality, skin color, sex, ability, religion, geography, or culture.

NSPM-7 takes this aggressive-yet-brilliantly-manipulative application of the word antisemitic and makes up a new term: ANTI-CHRISTIAN.
Because White Christian Nationalists have sat in pews for decades and heard that they are the most persecuted people on this planet. Their pastors have taken data about Christian persecution in far-flung places (which unfortunately happens and is evil) and lie about its supposed prevalence right here at home. This crowd has turned phrases like *I don’t agree with you *and *I see it differently *and what about Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount into violence against White Christian Nationalists.
And just like when anyone criticizes an evil person who happens to be Jewish, anyone who criticizes or disagrees with an evil person who also happens to be a White Christian Nationalist will be flogged with the term anti-Christian.
They have tested the antisemitic dog whistle for decades and have perfected its use as a tool of psychological manipulation, bullying, and suppression. Now they are expanding what they learned to include their definition of anti-Christian.
Over the course of this work, I have repeatedly disagreed with White Christian Nationalism while validating their right to their own beliefs. I cannot control their minds or how something speaks to them. They can do whatever they want with their own lives, but they and their beliefs have no place in mine. I have the right to my own mind; so do you.
Evil people disagree. Evil people believe THEY have the right to your mind. Evil people think things like power and money and greed give them the right to dictate, surveil, and control your mind. Throughout history, evil has always worn this face. It’s not innovative or new.
Despite validating WCNs right to their own minds, as a not-evil human being I have been called names like the following:
demon-possessed
Jezebel
bitch
apostate
atheist
God-hater
heretic
satanic
bigot
crazy
in need of a forced lobotomy
All of these epithets and more are now being rolled into a sanitized, pristine-sounding dog whistle: ANTI-CHRISTIAN. NSPM-7 annuls the First Amendment and makes being ANTI-CHRISTIAN (anti-White Christian Nationalist) a crime.
Clicking LIKE, RESTACK, and SHARE matters more than ever. Especially if a writer is being throttled by the algorithm. (Like me.)
I use the LIKE button to let a fellow Substacker know I read their piece. For me, it’s like saying Hi, I was here.
Clicking LIKE is an f-you to our billionaire overlords. Every time you click LIKE on good information, you shine a light on their psychotic, comic-book-level villainy.
You may think nobody sees or cares about your shares, but the algorithm does. Your enthusiastic use of these buttons may help more good information break through the fascist algorithm in the lead-up to the midterms.
So smash those hearts, restacks, and shares. And while you’re at it, thank leaders like Mark Ruffalo for showing us how to fight evil.
