Carlin's reference to "Liberal orthodoxy" was a reference to Neoliberalism

So we agree he was antisemitic.

'No' was the polite response to your comment.

The normal response to your comment is: there is no correlation between Carlin's references and antisemitism. There are also no dog whistles here. Sometimes I wonder about potential schizophrenia among users at Saidit, and these assumptions about my comments remind me again of potential schizophrenic reactions to what would otherwise be a normal political discussion à la Carlin's comments.
