The "reptilian conspiracy theory" has nothing to do with Jews. Please don't create antisemitism and stuff where there is none
You’re wrong though. The Rothschilds are part of the conspiracy and they are jewish. It’s in the wiki you linked there.
"He contends that most of the world's ancient and modern leaders are related to these reptilians, including the Merovingian dynasty, the Rothschilds, the Bush family and the British Royal family.[22]"
How do you translate this to being a conspiracy about Jews specifically?
It’s not specifically about that, but I still see where they’re coming from. When you keep talking to conspiracy theorists they always bring up the Jews eventually. This means that a lot of conspiracy theories that don’t explicitly have anything specific to do with Jews (like 9/11 being faked, to name an example) to still be strongly tied to antisemitism.
I respect your opinion but I do find that to be reaching quite a bit
The Rothschilds were brought up because they're rich and influential, not because they're Jewish.
My point is not that the Rotschilds were brought up here, but rather that basically every conspiracy theorist given enough time will end up saying that the Jews run the world. This is why every conspiracy theory, even if not explicitly about Jews, is still connected to antisemitism.
Wow, that is a cherry-picked example if I've ever seen one. The Rothschilds are mentioned exactly once on this page and it's in this sentence:
"He [David Icke] contends that most of the world's ancient and modern leaders are related to these reptilians, including the Merovingian dynasty, the Rothschilds, the Bush family and the British Royal family."
Including the Rothschilds, as well as several other non-Jewish families. The Rothschilds are part of the conspiracy not because they're Jewish, but because they're influential.
Well when the bush and or royal family start fires in california with space lasers, we can come back to this.
Oh man, yeah it being popularized by David Icke really helps your case there...
