Geez, I hope they’re paying you to suck their dick this hard

We will, one way or another. At some point simply enough people will have died that we will stop making things meaningfully worse 🤷‍♂️

Germany is a terrible comparison here. Home ownership in Germany is about 50%, true, much lower than the US’ 65%. However, the majority of those rentals are apartments rather than houses, since even small towns are highly densified, very unlike the USA. There are many state landlords which provide rentals at a very attractive price; it’s rare for people to spend more than 30% of their post-tax income on rent. Furthermore, there are extremely strong protections for renters, restrictions on rent increases, and they can renovate their apartments as they please. That’s very different from what American real estate corporations want.

I don’t think that’s right, context matters. It spreads when it is shared uncritically and people come across it in a context where they don’t have their guard up. I believe it is preventative, to some extent, the other way around, when it is shared in a context ripping it to shreds.

People will come across antisemitism in the wild, and it is important that they learn to recognise it. This quote is pretty extreme, but it is important that people know that antisemites use words like e.g. “dialectical” as a dog whistle. The next time they hear someone say something about it when one of their facebook friends share something they might notice that they talk about “Hollywood elites” or whatever in the same way.

Without a good understanding of how antisemitism works we are all susceptible.
