I'm posting this as more of a "know your enemy" type of thing, because Christopher Rufo is dangerous.

I reported you to the mod. It seemed to be the kind of thing I was escaping Reddit from. Am glad to hear you were not being an asshole. Certainly your reasonable tone later had me confused so I am glad I mentioned it.

I think we agree the right wing is getting the upper hand and out of hand despite public sympathy for Palestinian civilians.

Some of them probably are hypocritically subscribing to the "Elders of Zion" hoax while jumping on anything remotely anti-semitic from the Left.

I do worry about a rise of anti-Semitism whether from the Left or the Right. I don't think Germans were genetically evil and that it could not be repeated. The thirst for scapegoating is insatiable. Jews are the eternal go-to scapegoat and so I keep raising my voice amongst fellow left wingers to ensure we don't feed that.

No worries, I guess it's not as common as I think. I did talk with one of the other mods this morning and they understood what I was aiming for and didn't think it should have been removed.

We do.

Boggles my mind.

Me too. Any kinda of 'out-grouping or othering' for that matter.
