That is why I hedged a bit in my last sentence; there is a lot more info available today and through a greater variety of sources. Disinformation, though, is certainly a problem moreso than it was when I was younger.

I was one of those american far-right evangelical conservatives and grew up where it was not uncommon to hear “that’s jewish” to mean something uncool and hear about “the synagogues of satan” in church. I definitely stopped feeling that way once I got out on my own and out of that bubble and would be horrified the impact that my decisions would have had on others. The pastor at one church we went to actually came over in I think 1989 or 1990 from Wagga Wagga and I spent a fair bit of time with them growing up.
