There is a frightening rise in antisemitism across the country and around the globe. Today on Lincoln Square, Susan J. Demas and Edwin Eisendrath have this very important conversation, looking at how fear and hatred are particularly being stoked on social media platforms.
“We have a politics of this moment that depends on dividing people,” Edwin notes. “… So all of us will do better if our culture and our society stop celebrating hate and the idea of like, ‘I’m owning you.’ It’s just this reckless macho stuff.”
Join Susan J. Demas and Edwin Eisendrath for an in depth conversation about the growing epidemic of antisemitism — as well as the hate targeted at other outgroups from trans people to Muslims to immigrants — and how fighting amongst each other is a win for the the authoritarian class here at home and abroad.
