I came in here to say just this. I'm a Jewish clergyman, so I deal with this kind of shit a lot. The term isn't just brainwashing; it's actively seeking to erase Judaism as part of Christianity. It's shit like this, combined with Christian Nationalism, which makes me jumpy at first when someone identifies as a Christian.
From an armchair political science hot take, it signals something akin to worldwide NATO, inclusive rather than anti-semetic.
Certainly tons of baseless anti semetic crap does exist, i just don't see this concept that way.
On its face, I'd agree, but the term is used almost exclusively by the hyper-right wing. No one outside of that sphere uses the term (at least as far as I've experienced).
My public high school and college courses did.
It has been a very common academic term for many decades.
Maybe it's regional or a recent change; it's been a minute since I was in high school, and my university studies were not in the humanities.
Perhaps. It was mid 90s, at the onset of the Politically Correct era.
And i went to an engineering school, but they had us take humanities courses so we would be well rounded and able to communicate good and stuff.
