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.”
American media constantly pathologizes evil. These people are monsters because it benefits them, not from a psychiatric condition.
You are using the language of psychology (psychopaths, unmasking) and you are not qualified to do so. Even if you were, diagnosing someone from a tweet would be malpractice.
We cannot and should not explain these things by resorting to misusing psychiatric language. These people nearly always do these things because of their material conditions, not an underlying pathology.
Really, the media “pathologizes evil” in Obama staffers and speechwriters? And apparently worst of all, me calling this genocidal zionist ghoul a psychopath is malpractice? WTF?
That’s not mutually exclusive, did you watch the clip? Does she strike you as a person who’s filled with empathy?
What a strange thing to say, pathology absolutely plays into how expressions of power manifest and again it’s not mutually exclusive with material conditions, they both affect each other in dynamic ways and the whole clip is a good example of it
I said “media”, not “the media”. Have you ever watched American TV shows? “Media” is not typically limited to so-called journalists, but they also do it plenty when reporting on crime.
