I listen to a fair amount of center-right/old-school conservative podcasters, some of whom are Jewish (I do not listen to Shapiro with any regularity because I would consider him more of a provocateur than pundit), and I keep wondering if they will ever get squeamish about ascendant American fascism. While they may be focusing their ire at immigrants and muslims now, it seems like they always come back to Jews at some point. I suspect they should take Musk's Nazi salute more seriously.

- silverquiet 2y agoIt's funny, I've used that exact term, kapo, for Shapiro for probably a decade now, but I was thinking more of the "Commentary Magazine" crew. They are (as far as I know) not rich and make Jewish identity a stronger part of their brand.
