I don't think that's right, context matters. It spreads when it is shared uncritically and people come across it in a context where they don't have their guard up. I believe it is preventative, to some extent, the other way around, when it is shared in a context ripping it to shreds.

People will come across antisemitism in the wild, and it is important that they learn to recognise it. This quote is pretty extreme, but it is important that people know that antisemites use words like e.g. "dialectical" as a dog whistle. The next time they hear someone say something about it when one of their facebook friends share something they might notice that they talk about "Hollywood elites" or whatever in the same way.

Without a good understanding of how antisemitism works we are all susceptible.

To be fair, meat eaters who come into a vegan community to be whiny little dicks because their masculinity is threatened don't represent the majority of normal people.

It's because of people like you that scientists get treated like crap. You also deserve to get paid for the things you create.

Correction: they have spent some fraction of 73M on propaganda, and likely embezzled the rest.

Germany is a terrible comparison here. Home ownership in Germany is about 50%, true, much lower than the US' 65%. However, the majority of those rentals are apartments rather than houses, since even small towns are highly densified, very unlike the USA. There are many state landlords which provide rentals at a very attractive price; it's rare for people to spend more than 30% of their post-tax income on rent. Furthermore, there are extremely strong protections for renters, restrictions on rent increases, and they can renovate their apartments as they please. That's very different from what American real estate corporations want.

We will, one way or another. At some point simply enough people will have died that we will stop making things meaningfully worse 🤷‍♂️

Most countries that use 24h time (Western Europe, ime) use both interchangeably - saying "at 18" or "at six in the evening" are both totally normal.

Because it still puts men on top in most ways, even while it hurts them too.

And it definitely applies to all western societies.

You can see it in this very story. "Men are strong, they don't need help. Women are weak and emotional, that's why they need support." Yeah, it's devastating for men in this situation, but it's the same logic which makes people say men are natural leaders or whatever.

"Everyone can kill people regardless of skill" seems much worse than 'only highly skilled people can". None of these shooters ever "spent their life training".

I assure you these people are not eating healthy meals lol, it's all bad faith because the idea of them not eating meat makes them feel threatened about the size of their peepee.
