Yeah, I mean I think people expected more biting political satire, as others have noted it feels pretty soft in that regard, but I saw it randomly one night and laughed at the absurdity.

America’s weird “love-hate-fetishize” thing with Jews is just so weird. Sociologically trying to unpack it gives me a headache. Living it must be worse. In the span of one discussion you can go from Christians considering you their civilizational bosom-buddy to an evil leftist undermining America.
I think, but I’m not certain, their usage may be related to one of the numerous anti-Semitic books and theories of discredited academic Kevin MacDonald. He’s really popular with the “race realism”/”human biodiversity” crowd that makes up a lot of the VDare readers.
Frum is not very smart, and absolutely bigoted, but he’s not a “I sympathize with the poor souls at VDare” kind of bigot. He’s a “I think we need to listen to the arguments of fascists” bigot.
I’ve already seen a number of conservatives say the term kritarch is not anti-Semitic, which is one of those “true in a narrow way but false in general” claims and I can’t ken why they’re doing it. In those circles, it fundamentally is meant to insinuate Jewish control. This is part of the “Jews are flooding the…
If you were raised on “the Arabs are violent and primitive and want to kill us” the jump to “Muslims are violent and primitive and want to kill us” really isn’t very large. Add in some very well-funded anti-Muslim groups, who staff pretty heavily from the small but very vocal segment of far-right Jews in America and…
I keep trying to get into podcasts, but my habit of reading while listening to music makes it tough. I’ve had two sitting in a tab for like a week.
Reminder: Cotton is supposed to be one of the smarter foreign policy voices in the present GOP. This is a serious claim people have written many times.
Most of the networks, and most bigger papers, won’t give space to people to the left of Beinart though. I mean Bari Weiss, with a long history of racist harassment, get’s a plum job laundering her bigotry at NYT. The opinion editor at the Forward, one of the biggest liberal Jewish papers, is notorious for her bigotry…
Hasan has a long list of these instances that’s been active for awhile, so I’m not sure if most of it originates with Beinart or Hasan. Beinart’s really being shoved left by all this, I’ve always respected his voice but thought his attempt to salvage Liberal Zionism naive. Ironically actually Hasan has been attacked…
So no, you can’t back up your trolling. I was just waiting to make that clear for others so no one will be mislead by your idiocy. Thanks for obliging.
He’s Muslim and he takes anti-Occupation positions. A lot of supposedly liberal figures with decent sized platforms attack him regularly. I said it the other day, but I got blocked by Yair Rosenberg of Tablet for disagreeing while he was smearing Hasan. The people who don’t want to admit there’s a problem with…
Answer the question you worthless pissant.
I’m pretty comfortable that my knowledge surpasses Greenwald’s on a lot of the topics he vomits his opinions on. I put in the work and don’t spend time promoting conspiracy theories.
I mostly wanted an excuse to use “ollmhargadh”. One of my favorite Irish words. Just look at it. That word was designed to make the English brain melt.
Yeah, no. Greenwald is hot garbage, and he gets a huge salary from the Intercept that prevents them from hiring more journalists. “Proven right” is just a comical statement. He’s incredibly ignorant on many topics.
Ironically Hasan is being attacked by a lot of supposedly “liberal” figures on social media for daring to criticize establishment Jewish groups for their double standards regarding how they treat Trump vs Muslims and pro-Palestinian activists. He’s being smeared as an anti-Semite pretty much constantly.
