I think we are quickly reaching if not past the point of this old Sartre quote’s application.

Seems like today they’ve moved onto some nonsense that would be the equivalent of saying that FBI Director Kash Patel’s investigation or US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s random statements demonstrate US policy in the Iranian war. I wish I were kidding.

It’s just such a ridiculous claim that ignores the history and usage of both terms, and that antisemitism was literally created to make Jew hate more acceptable.

And this origin information? 🤔

You mean this definition? 🤔

What you are using is a logical flaw. What I’m using is a summary of research in the field and the etymological history of of the term as expressed in the field, in proper usage, and when considering its full history and present understanding. In other words, you’re engaging in Judenhass.

Probably also worth noting that of the people harmed by this, a significantly larger part of that harm was borne by POC, many of whom were targeted by risky subprime loans, and who suffered higher unemployment rates and lost a much larger share of their household net worth than white families.

It sure wasn’t when subprime mortgage lending due to deregulation of financial institutions made them “too big to fail” and taxpayers authorized $475B in TARP bailouts and ultimately paid $31B in costs after repayments, dividends and interest while people lost their jobs and we did nothing to fix it

Imagine being so infantile that a politician telling the truth, rather than promising you no veggie and double dessert, is what leads you to say, “oh, yeah, that’s not someone I could have voted for.”

OK, this is a particular lane of slopulism that I’m passionate about, and it’s actually really dumb and bad and doesn’t understand how groceries work at all.

And Peru had the highest mortality rate with 6603 deaths per million.

🧵 People have rightfully pointed out that this post by Palestinian-American writer Susan Abulhawa is just the antisemitic "Stab-In-The-Back” myth with an anti-Zionist paint job on it. But there’s a little more to it.

You’re not going to get an argument from me. I didn’t even know there was a difference until I was well into my teens. I’m just saying that’s generally how things are broadly classified in polls like this, at least in the US. “Catholic” vs Protestant/everyone else under the category “Christian”

It gets better

Imagine if Stevens owned expensive rental property in Tel Aviv? This is just too good. Abdul is wealthier than Stevens and does business in a country known for its human rights atrocities but Stevens is the corporate genocider.

Don’t underestimate the prospect of both.

Sounds like those issues are Hollywood’s Achilles heal. 😏

But, as you might guess from my profile, I fully admit that I am far from an expert in all of that.
