I don't expect this kind of snark on The Bulwark. Anyway, it does not have to be new to be legit. It is unusual and extremely difficult for a person *within* a liberal activist movement to write this kind of thing, and she would have gotten zero support since she's writing what they are not interested in hearing. In any case, Hanna Arendt's essay on totalitarianism is still relevant today and we ignore it at our peril. I also didn't realize the the paranoid style of American politics wasn't a thing since Richard Hofstadter wrote it more than 50 years ago. Antisemitism on the left has not gotten any better since then (especially as survivors of the Holocaust are more and more rare). Maybe you could read what she wrote and criticize it on the merits. Same stuff is going on. As the pamphlet says "The past didn't go anywhere".
Me neither. I posted a comment downthread asking why Hamas won't release the Israeli hostages it took during its massacre of more than 1,000 civilians, and some demented individual responded I deserve to have my house bombed. (And I'm a Biden supporter who would never support Trump). If that's not a Hamas-sympathizer, what is?
If someone did a pamphlet 16 years ago I’m a believer.
