I'm a journalist writing about capitalism for Democracy at Work.
Jew-haters are on the rise.
Greene and I disagree on if Mamdani is anti-Semitic, but we agree in opposing the vile rise of anti-Jew bigotry.
Hence I discussed this Jew-hating troll in our upcoming interview.

Politics is downstream from culture.
Thus I've analyzed movies from diverse genres — an erotic thriller ("Eyes Wide Shut"), a sci-fi epic ("The Day After Tomorrow"), a romcom ("Hollidaysburg") — to critique capitalism.

May 17, 2004: "The Day After Tomorrow" premieres in Mexico City.
In the scene when Americans illegally cross the border to Mexico to flee the superstorm, a huge cheer erupted from the Mexican crowd.
I wish I'd been there.

I like "Killer's Kiss" more than its own filmmaker, Stanley Kubrick.
Among its many virtues, it explains the rise of democratic socialists like Mamdani.

Trump, Epstein and other billionaires have one goal:
To turn our real world into the fictional one depicted in "Ghosts Can't Do It."
In that film, co-starring Trump, billionaires plot murder to improve their sex life.
