Desire Is a Form of the Good; Antisemitism Is a Form of Surrender

Because the Real is unimaginable
effective liars exploit
what people want to be true–
This is known as the Unreal
 
But the opposite of the Unreal
isn’t the Real
it’s the Symbolic–
That which people need to be true
 
In God, Jews have what we need
But to get what you need
you’ll never get what you want–
This human condition is called desire
 
And nothing gives way on desire like antisemitism
which it does with a lie
 
The devil’s lie
is that he can meet your needs
by giving you what you want
and it goes like this:
Antisemitism is a lie
that gives people a choice between
believing the worst about Jews–
They have what I want–
or the worst about themselves–
I want what I want
 
Just know
that when you get what you want
it will be worse than you can imagine
