I agree, but that’s what I meant. Toward the end he comes right out and practically calls the books antisemitic, but his evidence is that they contain plot elements that resemble other, truly antisemitic fantasies, such as global plots to take over the world.
- whakim 5y agoBut knowingly echoing antisemitic tropes is antisemitism - that's why I used the phrase "dog whistle."
