   whenever I hear CNN report that antisemitism has increased by 500% I always imagine some guy laughing at a kippah in a park or something

     @zxcvfadsf 500% is made to be a big number but it probably isn't and you're probably imagining it right. My guess is that it's from the ADL and they've pulled shit like this in the past and their data is mostly garbage
     
     There was a time where they raised the alarms "RIGHT WING TERRORISM IS UP 200%" and it basically went from like double digits... to staying double digit, still a pathetically low number in the US considering the population size
     
     Then you check the actual data and it's full of weird shit. Muslim terrorism taken as "right wing", when the ADL has also simped for Muslim in the past. It literally listed that Las Vegas shooting when nobody still haven't had a fucking clue what the fuck was it about as news mysteriously stopped talking about it and yadda yadda. It was full of debatable data in the first place
