I can’t stop thinking that the takeaway is much worse: does the the popularity of lightly-laundered nazism reveal something about how easy it is to capitalize on the worst aspects of our tribalism?
Ah that's what I meant to be getting at in the first of my responses, before the point about the critical theorists. If I am right, that this is actually founded upon just a rather crude `Jews bad!' anti-Semitism, I think it should be viewed as a real object lesson for all of us.
