"Analysts increasingly describe modern #antisemitism as a convergence phenomenon — where far-left anti-#Zionism, far-right #conspiracy culture, #online #radicalization and broader political nihilism begin feeding one another. #Jews become symbolic targets onto which fractured societies project anger and distrust. As #JoshKaplan recently reminded us in The Free Press, the late #Rabbi Lord #JonathanSacks warned that “antisemitism is a projection, and is caused not by Jews but by internal conflicts in the societies that give rise to it.” That diagnosis feels painfully relevant now.

#America is experiencing a broader coarsening of civic life. Political rage has become performative. #Socialmedia rewards outrage over restraint. #Conspiracytheories spread faster than facts. Institutions are distrusted almost by default. In such an environment, antisemitism flourishes because it offers unstable movements a visible villain onto whom complex frustrations can be pinned."

"... when you finally get to the truth of it, there ends up being nothing there other than a conspiracy of incompetence and failure. So the net result was just a load of systems that are all badly designed, became people are more interested in greed and cutting costs and so on. And the result of the system is this moral vacuum, and there's no intelligence at the heart of this thing."

When the polar ice caps melt, not only will it release tons of carbon, but viruses frozen in time get released back into the wild.

Then there's fish farms, cow farms, general #meat production, which keeps animals in unsanitary conditions and dumps insane amounts of antibiotics into organic systems.

Then there's the hate for #WHO, a mouth piece for the world's health professionals - an actual #meritocracy - being dragged in the dirt by #conspiracy theorists.
