However, as the OP, I post things like this because we, as Jews (and our few and far between allies) should know what is out there in the real world. Too often, IMO, anti-Semitism is minimized or outright ignored, while other forms of bigotry are roundly criticized and poured over ad nauseum.

I do agree (I think) with you in regards to RW'ers in the news. Why the fuck do "news" sources keep quoting (or bringing on) people like Scaramouche?! Right now, there are people fawning all over the words of Rex Tillerson...wtf?! There is also an article about the Canadian PM supposedly wearing "blackface", yet, even in the article, NO ONE on record can confirm it is him, yet, the knives are drawn. The source? Who the fuck knows?! Frankly, with all the RW influence, I am afraid our side sometimes is just as prone to "fake news", and even spread it. I try my best to make sure things I post, even if unseemly, are factual or at least have some semblance of truth, even if murky, at the time of posting.
