Naftali Botwin is the editor of the Jewish Worker, which, according to its Twitter bio, embodies “(((Cultural Marxism))) at its finest.” Because Jews had no greater advocate than anti-Semitic he-demon Karl Marx.
Well anyway, Botwin thinks he’s discovered incontrovertible evidence that cops are fascists, and he found it at a rally where far-Left Jews were protesting an ICE detention center because detention centers are basically concentration camps and we’re in the midst of a new Holocaust. His evidence? One of the officers had a “Molon Labe” tattoo:

“A prominent slogan of contemporary fascism.” Or … not.

He can, though.
“Molon Labe” was what King Leonidas allegedly shouted at the Persians in the Battle of Thermopylae. It means, “come and take it.” The Persians wanted their weapons in order for the army to enter into Sparta unopposed. Before tweeting your asinine views, do some research dumbass. https://t.co/4Y1SiuxqLB

GP Molon labe means "come and take them." Attributed to Leonidas of Sparta at Thermopylae, it's a statement *against* oppressive government control of the populace advocated by actual fascists like communists and socialists. Other than that, nice try. https://t.co/U2NGGUU6L8

Molon Labe is inherently anti-fascist, but OK. How is refusing to give up your arms to a power-hungry machine fascist? Should people just let the machine take control because the machine knows best?
Pro-Tip: That's how you get fascism

Molon Labe is fascism? https://t.co/ae4sv35pGs

Yeah, we don’t get it, either. Maybe Botwin can explain it to us.

Yes, clearly the problem here is with the American conservative and not with the assclown running the Jewish Worker Twitter account.
All of the right-wing meatheads replying to this post clearly did not bother reading the link which provides voluminous evidence that the phrase has been popularized by far-right extremist movements over the last decade.

So, Elliott Hamilton, a conservative Jew, is a “kapo” for calling an avowed communist a communist and suggesting that he stop digging?
I’m a Jew and you do not speak for me or I suspect the vast majority of us – even the Liberals! As for this – stop! You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Jews? Real ones who speak Hebrew in the synagogue & love our ally the amazing State of Israel? Then you know what you are saying is so insulting to actual victims of real Nazis. But you are not. Molon Labe means come & take them. That’s what actual Nazis did with Jewish Guns ????
— Simon Conway (@SimonRadio1776) July 1, 2019
You want Hebrew? Kus emek.

My mother died of cancer when she was 50. Also, you cannot curse in Hebrew which is why you just used Arabic. Next.

Lovely.
And now that we've mislabeled him a fascist we can punch him in the face. https://t.co/9YnL9Js3p5

TFW you've "mislabeled" a guy arresting kids protesting concentration camps a fascist https://t.co/wDOCMsZ4By

TFW you’re so far up AOC’s butt that you can’t hear how insane you sound. But hey, onward and upward!
At the very least, glad to have set off yet another mob of idiots.

Anywho, here are a million tweets hashtaged with both #MolonLabe and #CivilWar calling for a violent uprising against American leftists because it has nothing to do with contemporary fascism. https://t.co/70kSe29gZ8

"Molon labe is a statement against tyranny! Not in favor of it, you absolute moron! That's why I say it whenever I fantasize about murdering half the people in my country for wanting to make it harder for racists to commit mass-murders!"
— The Jewish Worker (@JewishWorker) July 1, 2019
Don’t even bother trying to point to the massive holes in this guy’s logic.
For every arrest you show me of an American antifascist getting arrested for assaulting an officer, I'll show you five police officers being outed as members of neo-Nazi gangs. https://t.co/gmTg3c1kHl

?Called a border worker a fascist because of his Molon Labe tattoo. Instead of apologizing and acknowledging their own ignorance, doubles down with this. https://t.co/SFYNoepGa7

“Any word or slogan used by bad people is automatically corrupted,” seems like an unhealthy way of going about cultural issues, but you do you.
