Something eerie, something creepy, is happening in the world—and now in America as well. The dark mood is brought on by elite universities, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry, and massive immigration from illiberal nations and anti-Enlightenment societies.
At Hillcrest High School in Queens, New York, hundreds of students rioted on news that a single teacher in her private social media account had expressed support for Israel. Waving Palestinian flags, and screaming violent threats, the student mob rioted, destroyed school property, sought the teacher out and tried to crash into her classroom—before she was saved from violence by other teachers and an eventual police arrival.
The subtext was that the overwhelmingly minority students (whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools) were acculturated to the racist reality that as the “oppressed” they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher. As a Jewish (and thus white) “oppressive” supporter of Israel, she was reduced to, in the words an enthusiastic commenter on a Tik Tok video of the riot, a “cracker ass bitch.” And so the student pack tracked her down as if they were hunting an animal. The old Nazi youth gangs tried to kill Jews because they were not considered “white;” our new Nazis hunt them down because they allege that they are. The common denominator between the 1930s and 2023 is an unhinged hatred of Jews.
Hundreds of such incidents are now occurring on a daily basis—as the country is leaving its Weimar phase and heading at warp speed into normalizing Jew-hatred and worse. Instructors singled out Jewish students in classes at UC Davis and Stanford. Pro-Hamas students ripped down posters, swarmed public buildings, and disrupted traffic.

What? With the celebration of loathsome prversion around and VDH compares it to Weimar Germany? I’m shocked I tell you — schocked!
BTTT
Soviet operatives targeted three influential American institutions: education, news media, and entertainment.
The influence grew according to a typical logistic function. At the beginning, the influence was small and unnoticeable. At some point, it reached linear growth where it became more and more noticeable. The last phase is when the effect has become so widespread that adding more makes little difference. I don't know if we have reached the last phase yet.
And let’s not forget the kapo liberal jews like Sanders, Schumer and Soros. t forget
“The problem is that a great number of people in America have been brainwashed “
Many of my friends were brainwashed in college back in the late 70’s (many are no longer friends). They were told they were smart and then sucked up every word. They are all sure how terrible our country and history is but have no idea what the solutions would be. It is left to their imagination. This is why they loose it when you challenge them with logic. They don’t know the answer and you are in essence telling them they are not smart.
Very true.
And recognizing that workers in our capitalist system would not buy into the "oppressed/oppressor" scenario (workers were becoming too affluent), they focused on the black community and, starting back in the 1930s, the CPUSA and Comintern identified blacks as the new "oppressed" bloc and went to work.
Hanson discovers the Weimerica meme.
That’s nice. Always great to hear he’s On It...years after everyone else.
Sometimes the anti-Semitic hatred reaches Orwellian levels of absurdity. A British reporter asked an Israeli official whether his country valued life less than Hamas did because it had agreed to Hamas’s demand to release three convicted terrorists in exchange for one Israeli captive. The media fawned over a released disfigured Gazan terrorist—without mentioning that her injuries came from a car bomb she exploded in hopes of killing Jews.
Another excellent essay from the pen of Prof Hanson!

What happened at Hillcrest High School in Queens is clear. It is naive to think these “students” have a cause. They have no cause. They could care less about Israel or Palestine. The majority of them could not find them on a map or spell the names correctly. What is going on is that kiddies are addicted to the rush of getting away with mahem, disrespecting authority, disrupting classes, acting out etc.....When discipline and consequences for actions are not enforced the kiddies turn into brats and know full well they can get away with it and it will escalate to the next level. With a certain ethnic group the situation has gone on so long that putting the Genie back in the bottle may very well be impossible at this point.
at this point long prison sentences are needed for anyone leading a mob in violence. don’t care about the reason for if society breaks down, we all lose. having to living through the American equivalent to the French or Russian revolution is the current danger with mob in what we are seeing if not clamped down on hard.
True. I was thinking of the irony of “white women” supporting CRT disciples, “transgender woman athletes,” and Biden’s rants about white supremacy.
“ n the Nazi era, a significant number of Jews collaborated”
I suppose if one thinks 1-2% is a “significant number”, this is a true statement.
Do you have a link to that podcast?
That is true but as children, they first faced their own ignorant and feckle parents. Some were also raised with evil in their own homes.

“Maybe Jewish Americans will stop supporting liberal causes? I kind of doubt it though”
They are liberals first and foremost. That title carries more weight than all others, including ethnicity and religion.
The Democrats' accusations are always confessions, i.e. what the Democrats themselves are actually up to.
If the Democrats are making accusations of naziism, naziism is exactly what the Democrats are resurrecting, and that's cause for serious alarm.
Why is that a surprise?
Research why public schooling was started.
It wasn’t to be nice.
Not quite.
The message has been anti colonial, anti European, and anti establishment for decades.
Guess what the state of Israel is.
For a while, Israel was a “blind spot” in such rhetoric. In this post religious age, it is no longer so.
What specific standardized tests (subject matter) was the pentagon determining the content?
While up is down, commie states are given the color blue instead of its traditional deep red color, immoral is now moral, ... I remain very skeptical of this allegation, especially given the left’s anti-military, warrior culture castration which includes it institutionalizing its homosexuality and DIE therein. How does he explain the leftist educational establishments dropping standardized testing to help cure “institutional racism”.
I would first believe that this theory that pentagon controls standardize educational tests is more of a “gotcha”, “conspiracy theory” effort to marginalize, embarrass, and paint as “nuts” people (formerly called conservatives) who previously supported a strong military in defense of a nation. Without the support of the traditional defenders, the weakening and defeat of America from within can continue without firing a shot. I recommend not chasing this rabbit.
