Honestly Karen, I think people have lost their minds, but I also think there’s been a concerted effort behind it. I was discussing this with an older Nephew in the UK (a younger Nephew is on remand until 27 August for attending a protest). I asked him what he thought about the outbreak of antisemitism because prior to leaving the UK for Australia it wasn’t something I even encountered. He told me that one of his friends had become quite radicalised watching actual (not just conservative) far right material on the dark web. I think this slipped past us all…

It's horrible.

I've actually written quite a bit about it. When I was around 12, my social studies teacher warned us that it wouldn't be communism that would destroy the West, it would fascism. At that time, in the 1970s communism was the boogie man. But somehow, what he said made a huge impression on me and I never forgot it. Perhaps because I walked through Dachau at the age of ten and other experiences in my childhood travels.

In 2022, I wrote The United States of Schizophrenia. https://khmezek.substack.com/p/the-united-states-of-schizophrenia
