I see you’re already deeply down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory thinking, Karl. Your first paragraph doesn’t even attempt to look seriously at anti-semitism, instead it makes a few claims (some quite disputable) about the social support Jews have. Fine, but nobody is arguing that there aren’t some organizations doing good. Discrimination and oppression are not a zero-sum game.

Look, institutional racism is against whites and only whites. All hiring practices and media spin is anti-white and only anti-white.

This might as well be a statement of your personal faith, because it’s certainly not one you’ve supported with anything even remotely approaching evidence. I’ve done the research, though. I’m sure you’re content to dismiss whatever media sources and academic publications don’t fit your narrative as part of the ‘anti-white’ spin, but this is just a textbook example of begging the question.

Obviously, being labeled a Nazi upsets you greatly. I don’t really have an interest in engaging with vague accusations leveled against unspecified people or groups. But how dense does one have to be to ask for greater understanding on that while simultaneously exhibiting what can only be best described as an obsession with whites and the perceived persecution of white people? You’re implying that using government to “cleanse” universities might be a good thing, for Christ’s sake. Most reasonable people would see that as a fascistic sort of fantasy to say the least.

I’ve been through the university, though, and I’ve also seen the research on how colleges and college educators shape political attitudes in students. People like you are the ones actually politicizing education and grossly underestimating the autonomy of the young people that attend universities. You’ve spoken in sweeping generalizations and assumptions this entire time, so I guess maybe it’s not surprising that you have such an intense conspiratorial hatred of higher education. Confirmation bias is always easy. What’s not is learning to accept when you’re wrong and when the facts are not on your side.

I hope that some day you manage to escape some of your paranoia and your obsession with whiteness, Karl. Whether you believe it or not, it is a self-destructive way to live life.
