Some pretty fucked up stuff, white supremist hate in AmerikaFrom Scott McCambell
This guy is scary enough with his "Hail, Trump," but it's scarier. I'm not an expert on this, but I did learn it on one of my favorite TV shows, Supernatural - a "golem" is from Jewish folklore. So when this guy Spencer accuses people in the mainstream media of "not being people at all" and refers to them as "golems," it is a hardcore, out-of-control anti-semitic remark. Here's "golem" from wikipedia:"In Jewish folklore, a golem (/ˈɡoʊləm/ goh-ləm; Hebrew: גולם) is an animated anthropomorphic being that is magically created entirely from inanimate matter (specifically clay or mud). The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed material in Psalms and medieval writing...The word golem occurs once in the Bible in Psalm 139:16, which uses the word גלמי (galmi; my golem),[2] that means "my light form", "raw" material,[3] connoting the unfinished human being before God's eyes.[2] The Mishnah uses the term for an uncultivated person: "Seven characteristics are in an uncultivated person, and seven in a learned one," (שבעה דברים בגולם) (Pirkei Avot 5:6 in the Hebrew text; English translations vary).In Modern Hebrew, golem is used to mean "dumb" or "helpless". Similarly, it is often used today as a metaphor for a brainless lunk or entity who serves man under controlled conditions but is hostile to him under others.[citation needed] "Golem" passed into Yiddish as goylem to mean someone who is clumsy or slow."
