SIGH

The "joke" is that the person holds views associated with Jews (depending on your flavour of idiot, it is either liberalism, or just whatever the idiot disagrees with). So pointing out his/her Jewishness is in fact a snappy, witty revelation of the true motivation behind the points the person is making.

Yeah and that's anti-semitism, even if you say it's "a joke".

that was exactly my point

Well, it's a damn fine point :cheers:

There's about 500K Jews in France.  Most of them aren't going anywhere.

It's kind of weird watching the alt right using perceived anti-Semitism to support their own anti-Muslim bigotry while simultaneously dismissing criticism of or indulge in actual anti-Semitism.

So 1) antisemitism still exists, and 2) Europeans and racist Dumbfuckistanis are at best dismissive about it and at worse endorse it.  Holy fucking shit.

What is your estimate, in %, of Americans that are anti-semitic?

And no doubt using the sort of anti-Semitism we're seeing in Labour now as an attack on the 'regressive left' :lol:

8 percent.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
