About this episode
Modern antisemitism comes dressed in academic robes, not white hoods. Writer Nick Pell breaks down the growing threat here on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell ! Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1208 On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: Today's antisemites aren't cartoon villains — they're professors, writers, and soft-spoken intellectuals armed with charts and citations , making them far more dangerous than traditional extremists. The "109 countries expelled Jews" myth crumbles under scrutiny — it's closer to 12 actual countries, with many expulsions being debt defaults by kings who borrowed from Jewish lenders. Kevin MacDonald's academic trilogy weaponized evolutionary psychology to frame all Jewish actions — whether capitalist or communist — as serving a unified supremacist agenda. Claims about Jewish "overrepresentation" miss the point entirely — success isn't suspicious, and asking "what's the proper amount?" flirts dangerously with totalitarian thinking. Combat bad ideas with better arguments, not censorship — engage with sophisticated antisemitism directly, learn the talking points, and dismantle them with facts rather than silence.
