      2. Despite deliberately provocative title & Lewis's own history as a fascist, The Jews: Are They Human was a critique of anti-Semitism

      4. Here's the thing to bear in mind: as Jean Paul Sartre recognized long ago irony & clowning are always part of anti-Semitism.

          6. Fascism is a politics of fantasy & insane violence. The fascist uses irony, hyperbole & absurdity as wedge to force open these forces

          7. We've all experience someone making a sexist, racist or homophobic comment & then walking it back "It's a joke. Can't you take a joke?"

          Also the strategy is to exhaust you in meta debate and insult so there is hardly any chance to talk about the actual topic.
