How Blood Libel Became Central to Wokeism

Welcome to our deep-dive discussion on the concept of “blood libel” and its modern implications in political discourse. Malcolm and Simon Collins explore the origins, misuse, and consequences of blood libel, drawing connections to current events, statistics, and media narratives.

Malcolm Collins: Hello Simone. I’m excited to be here with you today. Today we are going to have a conversation about how blood liable has become incredibly common among the left to the point where I’d argue that. Almost every mainstream leftist politician has engaged in blood libel.

Simon Collins: Can you explain what blood libel is to me?

I hear people talk about it on the internets, but I don’t. So

Malcolm Collins: blood libel in its traditional context is used to talk about the longstanding anti-Semitic accusation that claims that Jewish rituals require them to murder non-Jews. Often children.

Simon Collins: Where did that come from?

Malcolm Collins: Well, it came from delusional antisemitism. Largely the point of blood libel is, is it is libel. So like lying falsely accusing somebody of killing. A person of your group,

Simon Collins: which is also kind of ironic because weren’t Jews kind of famous for not exposing their young Yeah. I’ve

Malcolm Collins: mentioned this to Simone, but Tactus a Roman politician complaint.

Well, not a politician. He [00:01:00] is the guy who invented strategy. We’re probably gonna name one of our kids after them, but he complained it’s a

Simon Collins: good name.

Malcolm Collins: That because it was common to expose babies in ancient Rome, that one of the traditions he found particularly barbaric among the Jews is they didn’t expose their babies.

But the. The point I’m making here mm-hmm. Is not about that. Okay. The reason why blood libel is bad, the reason why we bring up this horrible and evil thing and we’re like, do not do this as a society. The reason why everyone’s like that’s blood libel is because what blood libel allows to lie about a group to say they are killing people.

They, they are not killing, allows and gives moral justification for other people to kill them.

Simon Collins: Hmm.

Malcolm Collins: That’s what motivates. Groms, that’s what motivates Holocaust. And it’s so wild to me that I will see leftists say, how, why? Why do we not study the Nazis? Why do we not learn about antisemitism of the past?

Why do we not learn what led to that? And I’m [00:02:00] like and then they’ll, they’ll then point at Trump like he is. What it looks like to be going down the direction of Nazim. And I’m like, this, this is not what, what do you, what are you talking about? Like this is your side that is doing all of the preparatory steps for Nazim and one of the most common is the renormalization of blood libel.

Mm-hmm. And the reason why I am pointing out that it is definitionally. Blood related to killing another group. Mm-hmm. Liable lying about a group.

Simon Collins: Mm-hmm.

Malcolm Collins: It’s because we on the right need to start calling this out when it happened and happens and not allow people to weasel out of it. Like if somebody in the room says that blacks are disproportionately killed by police, which we’re gonna go over all the stats on this, where they say not transitioning children leads to them dying.

And we’ll go over the stats on this. Both of these things are very provably false. Unless you really like, look at the data in a absolutely cross-eyed way. Mm-hmm. , You and, and then you [00:03:00] say, and because of that, I’m allowed to act in this way. This is what we see with the Charlie Kirk shooting.

This is what we see in all of this stuff, right? They are doing what the Nazis did. They are feeding their troops with a belief and, and mainstream figures do this. I’m gonna play a figure here of the guy who runs Young Turks. This is Hassan’s wealthy uncle. Both of them super wealthy if you didn’t know that

Speaker: This brother comes along. I don’t know who man is. Uh, I mean, people say maybe that he’s got a following, but I’ve never heard of him. Right? And his brother and his, , co-conspirator, , Jagermeister or whatever, right? But this guy’s talking about, oh yeah, run over protesters. I don’t mind it. He said, so you don’t mind extreme violence running over somebody with a car?

Okay, but you know what? Why don’t we instead arrest them for exercising one of the most fundamental American rights, freedom of speech. The one, remember that you guys all pretended you were in favor of? I know some of ‘em meant it, but apparently a lot of ‘em, including Asman and Jagermeister, didn’t mean it.

They, they, they thought, oh, freedom of speech for me, for me to say that maybe you should be murdered or be made my slave, my freedom of speech. Good. And by the way, I wouldn’t cancel that. I don’t mind him saying the terrible things that he says. Now we [00:04:00] know who he is. So, and I’m not afraid of his speech.

I’m not afraid that the majority of Americans are gonna look at that and go, oh yeah, I think we should. Instead of having freedom of speech, if anyone exercises freedom of speech, , in a way that I don’t like politically, we should arrest them, take away all their rights, make sure they can’t vote, and then turn them into slaves.

No, 98% of Americans are gonna be against that, but as man thinks that’s a great idea. So he’s like, oh yeah, freedom of speech almost. It’s left wingers. How dare they protest our grab back? Let’s take away all their rights. And I don’t know if his followers were like, what an idiot.

We set freedom of speech. Dumb . Okay. Or if they’re like, yeah, yeah, we hate freedom of speech now. Now that we’re in charge, let’s turn ‘em into slaves Are 13 people watching that show? Who would like that kind of. Monstrously un-American piece of like that. Who doesn’t believe in America at all?

So if you’re watching our show, I would assume you’ve seen some of Smic Gold and you would know that he has never said anything remotely like what this guy is purporting that he has said.

And as a aside here, the reason zoomed in on the numbers at the end there is because Esmond [00:05:00] Gold completely schools this guy in terms of numbers. He releases videos every day that get multimillion views. .

Malcolm Collins: But here he is talking about Asma Gold.

Simon Collins: Okay?

Malcolm Collins: Oh, so in the clip you see him saying that Asma Gold. Supports using lethal force on protestors. Okay, so what did Asma Gold actually say? Asma Gold said if somebody attacks a law enforcement officer with a lethal object, that the law enforcement officer has the right to use lethal force in response.

He never said attacking like protestors cartilage, but he is saying that when a protestor uses lethal force, the police have an opportunity to use lethal force in response. And yet he’s running the number one like mainstream democratic podcast. And of course Hassan does this sort of stuff all the time.

And he runs the number one democratic livestream and they’re never called out for this. And we need to, like, every time they sit down, we need to [00:06:00] bring up you. Committed blood libel. You are pedaling in lies and conspiracy theories that get people killed and you need to recant them. Okay. And I’ve recently had an opportunity of having to force a journalist to do this.

Right. I was just like that. That is a lie and you are lying and you can’t do that anymore. This is 2025. Mm-hmm. And I think it getting mad at
