re: #265 Dr Lizardo

The hardcore right, especially those with anti-Muslim inclinations, are no different than those who believed in the various tropes of anti-Semitism one hundred years ago. No logic can penetrate their worldview. There is no ‘nuance’ for them; no shades of gray.

They adhere to a strictly Manichean view of life and the world at large, absolute good and absolute evil. There is nothing else for them; they simply haven’t the intellectual capacity to handle anything else.

It’s actually downright eerie how the Anti-Semitic CTs of a 100 years ago resemble the Anti-Muslim ones of today. I don’t think it’s a consequence since the people who echo them are the ideological descendants of the people who insisted the Protocols of Elders of Zion were real. Makes me wonder if we’ll ever learn.
