I'd hardly hold up Bari Weiss as a straight thinker on this stuff. When the topic is Jewish group identity politics she goes back in everything she says about all other identity politics as if Zionism isn't just another type of weaponized sacred victimhood that conflates disagreeing with an identity ideology as racism
Not sure what the fundamental premises of this essay are, but it looks like if they are unsteady, so are the conclusions. I'm being bothered by the implications without foundations (e.g. who is "evil"?).
Hell, plenty of goodthink SJWs will say reductive things about Ruissians that would get them cast into Outer Darkness, if they said the same stuff about Jews, Blacks or just about anyone else.
Thanks for the post. It would interesting, as an appendix to this survey with a different yet related goal in mind (and one that's of particular concern of mine), to ask how many people would agree to racist, stereotypical and demonizing statements about Jews if the term "Zionists" were substituted. Among leftists and academics and the cultural elite, the results would, I'm certain, be illuminating - for those with eyes to see.
"Hitler is responsible for the murder of 11 million people and the death toll from just the European theater of World War II was at least 40 million. DiAngelo is not responsible for the death of anyone."
Yet.
Until Hitler was responsible for deaths, he wasn't responsible for deaths either.
Gee whiz! Thanks for exposing elite intellectual white supremacy as an insidious force of cultural degeneration. I thought you guys were all ignorant poor white trash. Shame on all of you for using your intelligence in a miserable, paranoid, hysterical race to the bottom.
The parallels of Nazi Fascism and Radical Leftism is literally identical in their fascistic totalitarian police state govt power and control abuse - targeting political opponents, criminalizing political opposition, political speech, political thought, political beliefs .. their systematic step by step tactical process to silence, marginalize, exclude, demonize, dehumanize their political targeted opponents - pro-Life Christians, Jews, Conservative Republicans, Patriotic Americans, Trump Populist Supporters, Parents, etc, where the radical extreme left in both State and the US Fed govt weaponizes legal offices from DA prosecutors to AG's to Law Enforcement Police power and authority agencies to intimidate and threaten their political targets. Of course the next step to their final solution : Concentration Camps - Genocide Mass Murder
Leftism is an ideological "ism" every bit as dangerous and evil as Nazism, in fact, it's worse - Leftism is a ideological socio-political cult of indoctrination to lies, of threats, deceit, coercion, subversion, fear and intimidation tyranny that operates in and under the guise of democracy to undermine, subvert, poison, and destroy truth and democracy, freedom and liberty, individual sovereignty, who's end goal is the destruction of not just America as a Constitutional Republic-Govt Of, By, and For We the People, but Western Civilization itself
When the smoke clears and the shovels have buried the last corpse, White people will still be here, inventing everything, managing everything, and enjoying this wonderful world. There will not be as many of us as there were before the the final battle but, there will be none of you.
Hitler is such an overused touchstone in ethics. What a crutch! I think it detracts a little from the veracity of the thing. What if Hitler was never born? Were all these people speechless until he came along? There's an absurdism creeping into this, and it will certainly get worse after 2045.
In a recent interview with Michael Rectenwald he said the current woke revolution is proceeding in much the same way as the Maoist Cultural Revolution proceeded in China from 1965 to 1975. Thus, comparisons to Maoism may be more accurate than comparisons to Nazism. I believe the Obama Administration launched the American Cultural Revolution sometime after 2012, which was also the beginning of the smartphone nightmare. The revolutionaries were shocked when Trump Nationalists beat them back in 2016, so they saw to it that a compliant stooge who was easily controlled because he is compromised, took control in 2020. The American Cultural Revolution continues, but with serious opposition from dissidents. The American Red Guard is in full march but so are we (www.iadmhp.org).
It takes an intelligent, INFORMED, open minded person to plow through all the prejudice, Lies and propaganda. The kind of rugged individualist America has always championed. When somewhere between 40 and 60 per cent of Americans are functionally illiterate, How can we not expect to have Prejudicial and very stupid points of view?
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. The Soviet Bureaucracy was about 80% Yiddish, as was the German Communist Party leadership. The Soviets taught Yiddish as a second language, had their own autonomous region in Soviet Birobidzhan (before the colony of Israel), and killed 10 million in the 1932 Holodomor. About 65 million Russians died due to Soviet leadership, from revolution, war, starvation, purges, etc. The Germans saw this and chose Hitler. Both sides were awful. But we only hear one Narrative, all the time. The U.S. today is Weimar Germany all over again.
Are you not making the case for the study? Specific ethnic peoples allegedly being killed makes one leader worst than another? The aim of the Reich was to resettle certain ethnic groups. Study the Transfer Agreement. Germany got stabbed in the back again by the same ethnic minority. Yes, Germans did see and know about the atrocities in Russia these ethnics were called Communists. When they came to Germany, suddenly, their moniker was changed. WE do hear only about one scenario, the reason being that it's "their" forever unending suppression of truth, unlimited ability to blackmail, a constant gold train and defense against anything they do being criticized. They have controlled Blacks since 1909. Nice gig, if you can get it. Remember Voltaire's quote about who you can't criticize.
DiAngelo is evil. Just lacking the power to be as evil a person as Hitler. The ideology of hate DiAngelo espouses has killed and will kill people. Already showing up in crimes across the nation. Just not counted in the hate crime statistics because the those charging and counting don't count anyone of hate crimes against whites. Saying otherwise gives a pass to DiAngelo and other fellow travelers, and is a cowardly dismissal of the metasticizing problem. Always call evil, "evil." Even in its adolescence. Especially in its adolescence. For this type of evil is no longer a baby, when it should've been stopped. This is the last stage before it becomes an adult, having the power of a Hitler. To rack up a body count that rivals or exceeds Hitler's.
Is jaywalking evil? Is jaywalking not one of the nascent buds which - seemingly innocuous at first - later blooms into the foul ideology of defiance and anti-authoritarianism, that great wrecker of societies? Is it not a nihilistic rejection of the social order? Does it not trumpet indifference to the concerns and welfare of the other? Does it not glorify the negation of Law itself? I ask again: is jaywalking evil? Maybe not evil evil, but adolescent evil? Or maybe K-though-six evil. And when better to snuff out the worm than just as it pokes its head out of the mud?
Clearly - clearly! - it is not necessary that our enemies do actual harm. It is merely necessary that we infer from their words and ideas a stack of (future) corpses. When dealing with evil one cannot be fastidious. Off with their heads.
NYC lowered their crime rate by targeting crimes such as jaywalking. They called it broken windows policing. Yes, people who jaywalk a lot, or jump turnstiles or do other petty crimes also happen to have murders, assaults and felonies on their records.
Jay walking is interesting because it is a purely arbitrary crime. No one is harmed, no one is deprived of anything or even inconvenienced. Its just an arbitrary rule. It has no
beneficial effect on safety. In the UK there is no such law, pedestrians can cross the street anywhere and injuries to pedestrians are far lower than in the US.
Jay walking is therefore a good test case for potential research into the comparing the importance of following the law versus adherence to moral principles and respect for others. A study for the broken windows policy with and without the inclusion of jaywalking would be interesting.
Jaywalking might be an outlier because it is rarely enforced in many places. NYC focused more on petty crimes like turnstile jumping., they didn't target jaywalking as far as I know. Capturing all jaywalkers would probably be a waste of time in NYC, but catching turnstile jumpers netted a lot of wanted criminals.
It is the language of Genocide. If you listen to them there is a lot of it. Primetime MSNBC often sounds like Radio Rwanda. A lot of it towards whites but specifically conservative Christians. They hate conservative blacks even more than whites which demonstrates it is ideological above race in the end.
But there is a catch I believe. I cannot think of a case where a genocide has been committed against a majority population. It is always a minority. The Jews, the Tutsis, the Armenians, etc. What if what we see today with all this agitation is a set up?
I have heard many people saying the State is looking for a backlash in order to crack down. That may be true, but once they have the power they seek and the agitation becomes a liability... then what?
Would they allow the agitation and the situation to get bad enough where the majority cries out for someone to just make it stop?
If we were ever in danger of falling prey to a Hitlerian figure.. good chance this is where it will come from.

The history of WW2 seems to be a bit propagandistic:

or, in the tradition of Joseph Conrad,
https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/the-horror-the-horror
Interesting. And sad. And dangerous.
And STUPID. You forgot STUPID.

Jews were indeed prominent in the early years of Bolshevism and under Lenin, but your 80% figure is pretty ridiculous.

And Stalin was a classic antisemite who engaged in relentless purges of the Jews left over from Lenin.
