There was an op-ed in the Washington Post claiming that antisemitism meets the Brandenburg standard. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 11/12/2023 01:01:39 AM

An op-ed by a law professor, no less. It was pretty remarkable to witness someone ostensibly familiar with First Amendment jurisprudence saying that college kids in the States chanting "from the river to the sea" constitutes an incitement to imminent lawless action. But, as you've said, activists have been claiming for a long time that transphobia, homophobia, and other forms of bigotry also meet this standard, when they rather clearly do not.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
