      The ADL is so old it predates the Nazi party…

      While they haven’t always been perfect, and have often been shitty, there was a notable change under Greenplatt for the worse.

      For instance in the 60s the ADL was a huge boon to the Civil Rights movement at large.

      If we’re looking for when they became outright “baddies” it would probably be the late 70s early 80s. But it’s been a slow change, mostly influenced by Republican and Evangilicals, while neoliberals still gave them unconditional support.

      But Greenblatt is taking it far enough that everyone is realizing the modern ADL is nothing but propaganda for a genocidal far right religious ethnostate.
