“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Hi, Ray! I am more than thankful to find someone who truly puts their time into weighing out all of the necessities for when it comes to finding info! How do I see if there's a book you've read, because I would love to read your review? I want to read your 'Less Is More by Jason Hickel' if you've done it? Many thanks :)
