Honestly, I look forward to the day when we no longer pay attention to stuff like this. Someone tweeted something… who cares?!

Because when Jews have been backstabbed by the left, causing many of us to drop that affiliation, it's hard as hell simultaneously to admit that some on the right are twisting the knife. That's why we care.

The 20th century should have taught all of us that our lives can be far too quickly ruined by obscure ideas in philosophy faculty lounges. Twitter is akin to an elite university faculty lounge. It is the megaphone of the elite establishment of both the Left and Right, and we ignore its lunacy at our peril.

Very true. I hadn’t thought of Twitter in this way. As you know, there are also some really dumb people on there. How can we tell them apart ? Seems like we need a “curator” of Twitter to provide highlights of the latest trends coming from inside the mote of Academia.

I hate twitter but it matters because it's on twitter that the elite...the opinion makers....converse. And those ideas get rolled out and eventually will affect your life.

Jews cannot afford to not pay attention to stuff like this. Every time we get too comfortable, the next fanatic brings out the E-Z Bake Oven and here we go again.

What a disgusting and mentally ill individual. This guy is clearly struggling with some demons, especially with statements like, “I do believe Scottish Rite Freemasons are behind the pandemic (overwhelmingly Jewish)". Thanks for posting.

I learned about this egregious example of right-wing anti-semitism from Twitter

No you learned about one lunatic who was roundly condemned by conservatives. Read the article by the Jerusalem Post.

horrifying and patently absurd, and just the same I can't help but want to pick out the holes in his argument... if the Jews aren't supposed to get vaccinated, what's with Israel vaccinating the entire population?? Doesn't track. He must have to do quite a lot of mental gymnastics to explain that away.

Just saw the latest stats from Israel after the 4th booster. Covid cases massively through the roof! I'd lol at the absurdity, but it's sad and pathetic.

Hi candis you should probably’unlike’ my comment because what I said had zero to do with bashing the necessity of vaccines. Just because covid is breaking through the vaccine does not make vaccines unnecessary. I’m really floored by so much ignorance and inability to make reasonable arguments because something isn’t 100% effective doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a beneficial impact or that it saves lives. Please make sure to remove your‘approval’ of my previous comment since you are mistaken as to its nature and intent

Lol. That's not why I liked your comment, control freak. 'You can't "like" my comment, cretin! Think the way we tell you to think!' I'm sorry, am I on Twitter?

I find it quite sad myself at the numbers of those who are getting seriously sick and dying coming primarily from the unvaccinated population; and am quite relieved to see that vaccination has actually served to protect those who do get sick from severe consequences.

tell that to the 3 family members that died or are seriously ill 1 week after getting vaccinated , 2 died of heart and kidney shutdowns one is in hospital now with multiple heart attacks and his kidneys are shutting down . glad the vaccine worked for you

I could never participate in Twitter. I told my friends and family that it looks to me like the Internet version of the scratch writing on the public restroom stalls. Same germs, bigger scale.

That’s some crazy shit. I went to a local bar with some friends long ago and there was a mosh pit you could see from above. I stayed up where it was safe and a few of my lunatic friends dove into the pit. They came away with a lot of bruises and were very banged up. Can’t say I understand what makes someone want to do this.

About 36.5 years ago, my wife managed to get herself in one a week or two before our wedding. She got her nose broken and black eyes that were mostly cleared up at the wedding.

Good times!

Glad your wedding pics were not tarnished by the mosh pit.

Thinking back, the one friend I went with to this bar and did join in the mosh pit, is now a Twitter die hard. So the analogy works.

I once read a witticism about these idiotic online partisan debates which rang true: "the first one to call the other side a Nazi loses". I propose it be amended to include ANY mention of Twitter. If there is a poster child for the insanity engulfing our political discourse, it is Twitter. Its worshippers should be SHUNNED! We will know we've come far enough when the Twitter user is equated to a child molester.

I'm not kidding.

Some things have no place in a civilized society, like racism, etc. Twitter is one of them. If it ceased to exist tomorrow, people would dance in the streets.

"And, the author slips into the same behavior as Gonzalez with this "You can Google Mr. Gonzalez and judge for yourself." which is just a clever way of saying to go judge Gonzalez by his looks..."

This is the same line that made me say what one minute. I generally like Douglas Murray, but he completely loses his argument when he does precisely what he accuses Gonzalez of doing, only Murray exposes his anti-Hispanic tendencies. I don't believe either one is anti anything, just juvenile.
