Fmr Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz laments to Jewish Federation that people are finding content from “Al Jazeera and Nick Fuentes” on social media and seeing videos of “the carnage in Gaza.”
Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews’ victims, she adds.
“They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.”
The system selects for the blandest most agreeable people, because they are more easily indoctrinated. She believes hideous shit because everyone around her believes hideous shit.
I just don’t agree with that sentiment, it’s too simplistic and a half-truth, and it underestimates both the calculating and malicious nature of so many other people in power, “blandest most agreeable people” talk in slogans and clichés because they just want their money and to be able to go back to brunch, they don’t wax demonically about how Holocaust education is making it harder to genocide other ethnic groups, no that’s a level of bloodless calculation and malicious intent that goes beyond a simple liberal attitude of “go along, to get along”
No it’s not, she truly believes the silly graphs disprove that there is a genocide, because that’s what everyone her thinks. She never even began to question things, she is entirely a product of the system. She sees herself as a champion of truth against Russian interference.
If things had been different that would be us.
These people are in power precisely because they go along. They want their money and their brunch, that’s all the motivation there is.
Nah, that’s only an evaluation you would make if you didn’t bother to watch the clip, she’s not stupid or naive, she’s genuinely fucked up and she makes it perfectly she understands the implications behind her words
