Someone’s never played a prank at McDonalds (i.e. crawling under and locking it from the inside). Yes, I was a weird kid. ---

You can actually walk into the stall and then lock it. You only need to crawl to get out. ---

Wearing a t-shirt with McD’s floor stains for the rest of the day was no fun, though. And I’ve always felt slightly guilty about doing it, since I might really have ruined someone’s day. ---

Right. Also, the magaflatearthers use _socialist_ and/or _communist_ to mean _someone not letting their traitor idol get away with something_. I just a saw a few xits on Xitter where the aforementioned magaflatearthers are bemoaning the “unconstitutional decisions” of “the communist judge Merchan”. And let’s not forget what they believe _fake_ means. ---

Also, it was the Romans who executed Jesus, not the Jews. In the Ancient Roman Empire that form of execution was not permitted for vassal states, if it was done it was done under and by Roman authority. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > But that never stopped anyone in, oh, the last 2000 years from blaming the Jews. Yep. And this, of course, is the oh-so-subtle nuance that eludes MTG, and what the antisemitism definition zeroes in on. MTG and others would be perfectly free to believe that Jewish leaders lobbied for Christ’s execution as punishment for his perceived heresy. Where it crosses the line is when that belief is used to justify vilifying, demonizing, and oppressing Jews. As you point out, this is one of antisemitism’s greatest hits. BTW, there’s a detail that seems to escape the notice of this particular branch of antisemitism. If you embrace the gospels, one would think you’d notice that every person who followed, supported, protected, and loved Christ, the women who stayed physically by him to the end, his disciples, all of them were…wait for it…Jews. But that doesn’t count.
