Well, we’re doing commentary on Hannah Arendt in my human rights class. It’s going to be awesome! (Or terrible)

*Ahem*

A protection racket, IF WE CAN KEEP IT.

Conjecturing here, but I suspect it's this type of activism masquerading as [collective bargaining / academic policy / whatever] that contributed to the rather dismal situation that we're currently in.

DS - you're a lawyer. What are the labor laws regarding refusal to simply perform the work one was hired to do? This isn't about labor conditions, right?

Keep this up and you’ll mysteriously start failing DC checks in our upcoming one-shot.

Well, you also happen to be an excellent scholar.

Mild, polite disagreement?

Not sure they're quibbles, but I'm happy to leave it at: we agree (mostly)!

I always knew you were mishpachah.

Ah, yeah - okay, I do see what you're saying. I'd push back by qualifying: there was a recent moment on the right where fighting *left-wing* antisemitism was the fad.

Elise Stefanik seemed suspiciously quiet with regard to the out-and-out *right-wing* antisemitism.

My recurring guest spot on Game of Thrones was abruptly cancelled after I expressed admiration for @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social .

I suspect that, for many in the Jewish world, the massive overreach of the left over the past decade and its outward hostility to Israel and Zionists combined with a lack of exposure to popular insurgent right-wing media led to a blindspot that is only now being revealed.

I'd have to disagree with you on this one, PMB. The normalization and pervasion of conspiratorial antisemitism on the right has been raising red flags for a while.
