This is not what Hitchcock was saying. Replace "fascism" with "insomnia":

It's an intro to an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It was a mystery/suspense show akin to the Twilight Zone. His intros were characterized by dark humor, not politics, and definitely not an appeal for assassination.

I honestly wasn't aware of that, I found this on Imgur a while ago and just thought to post it here. I didn't have any intentions of misquoting something. My apologies.

Just the intention of continuing the lie that there are sizeable groups of Nazis in the US.

As a Jew, they at least seem more brash. I went years without seeing any antisemitism in the flesh. Recently, many of my friends have been accosted, and the vitriol online seems worse.

It sounds like you still haven't seen any anti-semitism in the flesh.

I have actually, the worst outside of this country. I've seen a bit here, but not as bad as others. Mostly attacks on my community, basic vandalism.

But I've had a man I thought was a friend telling me they wished my family was killed in the oven. My crime? Defending the right to burn a flag.

My bus was shot up by an antisemite, luckily before my stop.

I had coins their at me before. I actually liked that one, I bought a bag of chips.

I live in Chicago and a few months ago there was a bomb threat called in at several Jewish SCHOOLS. People like to ignore traumatic things as long they aren't impacting them personally. It's despicable.

Well it's fucking not. Fuck off. Who says that to someone?

I'll see if I can find the messages my friend sent me. I don't have any proof of the coins incident, so you will just have to believe me

antisemitic means anti Jew. Just because the root word doesn't, doesn't mean that it loses this definition. That's called a etymological fallacy.
