Nikita Casap, 17, allegedly killed his parents to "obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary" to kill President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
I won’t pretend to know all of the details, but as I understand it, the basic idea is something along the line of Christianity was an attempt to make Judaism more palatable to the masses so that their influence for spread.
Which, when you’re looking at it through that kind of crazy racist lens, I guess it makes some kind of sense, Jesus more or less did say “hey, you know all that old testament nonsense with crazy rules about how you can cut your hair, not eating pork, circumcision, wearing different fabrics, not turning on the lights on Saturday, etc? Yeah, ignore that shit, no one likes it and it’s not important. Now go out and spread my new, cooler version of Judaism around the world” (Not a direct quote) And it was successful, some sort of jewish-derived religion did end up taking over much of the world.
I don’t buy that there was any sort of conspiracy to rebrand Judaism into Christianity, and if even there ever was I think they clearly lost control of it at some point.
As for who believes this, again, it’s a big fractured world of crazy racists, so it’s not always easy to say “here’s an organized and recognizable group of people with shared beliefs” and I really don’t feel like going down the rabbit hole to find a bunch of fringe white supremacist groups who hold some variation of that specific idea.
But off the top of my head, I believe Varg Vikernes, known for being influential in early Norwegian black metal, murder, and burning down churches, subscribes to some version of that conspiracy.
