Loyalty to the measles virus

A sick man in Utah has transferred his loyalty from humanity to the measles virus. Despite what has done to him, he doggedly protects its opportunities to spread to other people by refusing to tell where (that is, in which human bodies) it may be hiding.

How billionaire tax avoidance works

*How Billionaire Tax Avoidance Works — America’s tax on capital gain income remains a steeply regressive tax.*

This is true, but other parts of the US tax code also contribute to the problem — for instance the trusts that allow rich people to pass on their wealth to descendants, bypassing inheritance tax. Rather than singling out just one of these tax dodges as "the" cause of the problem, we should demand to shrink all of them.

Mob in Italy beat up man they identified as Jewish

In Italy, a mob gathered and beat up a man that they had identified as Jewish, shouting about Palestine.

This exemplifies the point that blaming all Jews, simply because they are Jews, for Israel's atrocities against Palestinians is a form of antisemitism.

Plenty of Jews condemn those atrocities as much as you do. And they have no more influence over the Israeli government than you have.
