Everyone has their biases, including you & me. Seeing as I'm not personally familiar with the situation being described & discussed regarding US college campuses back then, I'd rather refrain from making a judgement about that. Maybe he was exaggerating, maybe he wasn't. Then again, he's a politician & they're inclined to do that sometimes irrespective of whatever right-wing/left-wing bias they may have. So, no need for forgiveness on that point.
I disagree. I linked to a conservative source, not an anti-Semitic one as you've claimed. Regarding the quote you made, & that alone; there is nothing inherently racist about stating that a group of Jewish people are Jewish. In fact, the sentence after that, which you omitted, reveals the reason why he may have mentioned it;
"The members of the Frankfurt School are Marxist, they are also, to a man, Jewish. In 1933 the Nazis came to power in Germany, and not surprisingly they shut down the Institute for Social Research. And its members fled. They fled to New York City."
Marxism is a political ideology, not a racial one. However, the fact that the members of the school were both Marxist & Jewish, adds context & gives gravitas to Mr Lind's statement that it was 'not surprising' they fled the country after the Nazis shut down the institute (given the fascists' genocidal tendencies).
As someone who gets offensive comments yourself on YouTube, I think you might find it unfair if someone mentioned them in a critique of your content as if they had any bearing on the matter. This is a red herring fallacy. Also, using it as an opportunity to spew out a slew of pejorative labels which in the minds of people reading your reply associates them with the false claim of anti-Semitism above, could be construed as an appeal to emotion fallacy as well due to the emotive nature of such buzzwords. Even if true, it's still a red herring & thus irrelevant.
These links were appreciated, as it's always wise to consider both sides of an argument. However, upon closer examination, I found that there is no actual evidence given. Specifically, I can find no links to anything that Mr Lind has ever said or wrote which support their claims. There are many contrary opinions from what appear to be left-leaning journalists & other individuals, & the sources link to yet even more contrary opinions. There are also quotes from alt-right sources peppered throughout, & the sheer number of times Mr Lind's position is referred to as a 'conspiracy theory' smacks of nothing more than a fallacy of assertion. Anyone can edit wiki articles & unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, the internet is not the source of all truth!
To find out exactly what the Frankfurt School wrote on the subject would be a massive undertaking seeing as they were active over such a long period, & produced huge amounts of literary content. I'd rather listen to the experts in the field who dedicate their lives to studying such matters like JP for instance, & then make my own mind up. His talk on PC & Postmodernism below is quite interesting...
