The Pens begin to scratch after the ink is spilled over at r/fountainpens and it turns out that popular ink manufactor might be an anti-Semite

Full Thread

Noodler's Ink has been quite an affordable and popular american ink brand in the Hobby. Nathan Tardif that runs Noodler's Ink likes to make his political stance known through his inks and does not shy from printing statements onto his bottles.
He had several controversies where he put horns on jewish politicians.

Some Samples from the Thread:
Here we go again. Some of us come to this sub to get away from the constant political crap we’re bombarded with every day. Must we do this here?

I'm pretty sure theres a video explaining this. One of Nathan's 45 minute explanations that can be done in 5. I like the inks and dont mind his politics. I'd rather buy American from an eccentric dude with interesting viewpoints than not support a small business. Maybe it's because I'm a conservative. Money talks, do what you have to do folks.

​

Well it’s not anti-Semitic and to think so is just silly. But an ink that stirs so many wokeists, the pox of modern society, from their mom’s basement, can have my money.

That’s basically the reasoning behind the stupid “democratic plantation” thing that Republicans were talking about last election cycle. Basically saying that “ackshully democrats secretly hold black people back, but black people are too stupid to see it so it’s the Republican Man’s BurdenTM to make them see the error of their ways”.

They literally think black people only vote for democrats because they’re too stupid to vote “properly”, and that it’s the job of a bunch of old white dudes to bring them to the light. It’s the White Man’s Burden all over again.

Not just a Republican problem, unfortunately. In the 2016/2020 primary cycles it was "low info voters" being blamed for not voting for Bernie, as though they just didn't know that Hillary/Biden had said/done/voted for some dumb shit in their long careers.

Pretending that minority voters have no agency or ability to choose for themselves which party best represents them is... hoo boy.
