19. The "Jews have collective guilt" people are spreading

And now have the power of social media to hang out in their little hidey holes. Whole swaths of Reddit are just weirdly illegible bigotry now.

Dumb spreads.

Can't even make it through various threads here without our little "collective guilt" gophers poking their heads out.

It's the inaction about it that baffles. How are ostensibly educated Americans managing this one? For the past 20 years, everything was "Just like the 1930s!" And then 1930s style antisemitism actually showed up, and suddenly no one knows what the 1930s were like.

People are fucking funny.
