      Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

      It is not hypocrisy it is a strategy.

    Some will care but are electoralism pilled enough that they’ll “vote red no matter what.”

    Some will care but not enough to advocate doing anything about it.

    Some won’t care because they’re fine with it.

    Some won’t care because rules/laws/norms are things that are used as weapons against their enemies.

    They don’t care because, and I feel like I shouldn’t need to tell you all this, the concept of truth and facts died forever ago and they’re all just running on whatever they’re told by someone they already agree with. Until the same media that got them to support trump convinces them he’s a pedophile they’re not going to care because it isn’t real
