Anyone who actually cares the tiniest bit about antisemitism would have the decoupling of Israel and the Jewish identity as the first order of business. Nothing comes even close. A state consistently using Jews to excuse its actions, behavi

"Vote for people with a lot of money" describes both parties for I don't even know how long. It's obscenely disingenuous to pretend that's new. Both parties have been bankrolled by corporate interests for longer t

Those two statements aren't at odds with each other. For example, there's a great abundance of resources to learn about music theory and such too, the average person doesn't know such things because they aren't intereste

It's not about groups labeling themselves as fascist. It's about groups labeling others as fascist. Trump and the republican party at large has been called a fascist a truckload of times. This alone means "antifa" can

I'd say it's hard to give a clear-cut, very specific definition of the word. It's also really hard to believe that people can't figure out the meaning given context and such. It is by no means whatsoever a less defined t

It's not as if every man was able to vote back then either. Property owners, of age, white. The story of universal suffrage isn't that clear cut.
