"Content that attacks #Jews (directly or indirectly) performs well. High-performing #content attracts more #creators. More creators produce more of the same content. #Audiences become conditioned to expect and reward it. #Politicians and #media respond to the shift in public sentiment.

The loop tightens.

At no point does it require central coordination. It runs on decentralized decisions, each individually rational, collectively corrosive. And like any system driven by incentives, it scales.

To state the obvious, #antisemitism is not new. What is new is the structure surrounding it. In previous eras, antisemitism spread through institutions like churches, governments, and political movements. Today, it spreads through #markets: attention markets, #media markets, #political markets.

That shift matters because markets don’t ask whether something is true or just. They ask whether it works. And right now, in too many cases, attacking Jews works."

Imaginary Universes

ignorance is bliss
a sanguine outlook
toward the future

Nostalgic view
A profound lack of history

so much depends
on talking to
an imaginary friend

such intuitive verse
My data tingles
I can write you another

my data in the cloud
obstructing the meteor shower

“#RulesforRadicals” was written at a time of epic social upheaval in the #UnitedStates, and it was read avidly by #VietnamWar #protesters, #feminists, #civilrights #activists and warriors on #poverty. More than half a century later, a new mini-genre of “how-to” #books about #dissent and #activism has emerged, drawing lessons from past #protests for the era of “#NoKings” rallies, #BlackLivesMatter marches and the campus pro-#Palestinian #encampments.

Coincidentally but intriguingly, three of these books were #written by #Jewish #authors who, explicitly or not, are offering advice on resistance drawing on Jewish wisdom, role models and historical precedents.

The three books — “How to Be a Dissident” by #GalBeckerman; the forthcoming “On Courage” by #JuliaAngwin and #AmiFieldsMeyer; and “Be a Refusenik!” by #IzabellaTabarovsky — arrive at a moment of #protest fatigue and #political #polarization.
