After he leaked Zohran Mamdani’s Columbia application data to the New York Times, critics called Jordan Lasker a “eugenicist.” A Mother Jones report shows there’s much more to his backstory.

Mother Jones has a new report about Jordan Lasker:

A Reddit account named Faliceer, which posted highly specific biographical details that overlapped with Lasker’s offline life and which a childhood friend of Lasker’s believes he was behind, wrote in 2016, “I actually am a Jewish White Supremacist Nazi.” The Reddit comment, which has not been previously reported, is one of thousands of now-deleted posts from the Faliceer account obtained by Mother Jones in February. In other posts written between 2014 and 2016, Faliceer endorses Nazism, eugenics, and racism. He wishes happy birthday to Adolf Hitler, says that “I support eugenics,” and uses a racial slur when saying those who are attracted to Black people should kill themselves.

Every nazi got the black indigenous latinx disabled nonbinary trans lesbian sock puppet roleplay account that astroturfs in favor of conservative and fascist policies.
- It says he actually converted to Judaism during college, open question how formally, but he certainly acted the part, kippah and all.
  It feels like it would be genuinely hard to discern where the gaslighting stops and the self delusion begins with this guy.
  
  I bet they would have been happy to refuse him more than three times.
- And also nowadays beimg promoted by the algorithm.

A few more tidbits from this article on TPO's openly nazi alt:
Despite the many claims about his Jewish identity, Faliceer self-identified as a Nazi. “I’m Jewish and a National Socialist,” Faliceer wrote. He claimed in 2016 that some of his own ancestors fit the same mold: “My family were considered to be Edeljude [noble Jews] because we were some of the first German nationalists and Hitler loved Germany so he declared us Aryan.”
According to his childhood friend, Lasker was raised as a Christian and appeared to convert to Judaism in college. The friend found out after seeing on Facebook that Lasker’s display name was in Hebrew and discovered he had joined a Jewish fraternity. A second person told Mother Jones that Lasker’s parents are not Jewish and are of a Christian background.
They added that Lasker is a “pathological liar”
- Close enough, welcome back Rachel Dolezal. Although in fairness to Rachel Dolezal*, she at least went to work for the NAACP, rather than becoming a footsoldier of fascism.
  No wonder this guy thought Zohran Mamdani was trying to lie about his racial identity: he lies like he breathes, and assumes others do too
  *You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Rachel Dolezal
- They added that Lasker is a “pathological liar”
  Yeah, see also the tweets from his sister I think, where he lied to a lot of fam members about his academic background/etc.
  
  His supporters promptly tried to push the narrative she was BPD.
