Every time I see a picture of Randi I get a psychosomatic reaction. I smell a musty crotch. That is oily sweat with a hint of tangy yeast and ammonia.

The US teachers' unions have been the bane of Western culture for over 60 years. Over 3 generations, they have slowly indoctrinated the majority with Marxist/Socialist ideals and installed ridiculous trigger terms like "anti-Semitism".

Not only is anti-Semitism conflated with anti-Zionism, and a gross misnomer, it has been weaponized to stifle any meaningful debate on any topic the authoritarians want to poison. Without a profound re-education of the general public, this hot-button label will continue to hold sway over mind and mouth.

By shutting up dissenting voices, the authoritarians effectively create a pressure cooker that ultimately expresses itself in violence against Jews, which in turn feeds back into the anti-Semitism trap. The only way out is to stop giving an ear to anyone throwing this term around. When they learn that we no longer buy the collective guilt, they will perforce change tactics, and perhaps even come to the discussion on equal footing.

Wouldn't this be akin to Marcuse accusing detractors as anti-semitic because of his goal to destroy Western culture?

She’s a racist, using her own perceived victimhood status as a ramrod to force acceptance of her deviance on Americans.

To respond to criticism by calling others, hateful is itself a hateful act.
