This interview made the shockingly useful observation, which I'd never put together before, of why antisemitism is so core to the modern Far Right, despite being one of the biggest impediments to recruitment. jewishcurrents.org/undercover-wit…

Namely, that the things white people are disaffected about are the same things as everyone else: lack of job security, growing wealth inequality, rising cost of living, and all the other horrors of late capitalism.

And they're not fools when it comes to the causes of these problems. And it is natural that they would feel some sympathy for Leftist arguments.

But you can turn most any Leftist argument into a fascist one if you just replace all instances of "capitalism" with "Jews."

You can't blame everything on Black people and immigrants because they're codified as poor. You need someone who represents wealth.

So they sub the stereotype of the Jewish banker for the bourgeoisie and all that stress about capitalism leads to becoming a Nazi.

It's so obvious when you just say it out loud, but I hadn't made that connection before.
