I can't believe people speculate on whether or not Jews influence or even control American culture and government. LOL

I see what you're saying, but antisemitism has historical significance, and is especially dangerous. It's a bit like saying "all lives matter" in the face of a problem that is effecting particular lives, not all of them. It's a disingenuous call for inclusiveness that downplays the significance of both the victims and the problem. It's adding insult to injury.

You're not going to be able to convince this crowd that that historical significance isn't an elaborate hoax, unfortunately. (By "this crowd", I don't mean all Saidit users; you know who I mean.) I'm trying to trick 'em into tolerance by leveraging the inconsistencies in their belief systems, but I'm no expert in doing this. I do know that making them confront the cognitive dissonance head-on makes them double down on whatever you're confronting them about, so I'm trying to avoid that.

… Wait… A plan is forming— no, too risky. (This is a note for future me, when I'm reviewing this comment at a later date, so I know why not to do the thing I've thought of. It wouldn't be ethical.)
