A study shows that misinformation spreads faster and farther than correct information:
An analysis of news stories tweeted by three million people between 2006 and 2017 shows that fake news spreads significantly more than the truth on social media.
[...] Truthful tweets took six times as long as fake ones to spread across Twitter to 1,500 people – in large part because falsehoods in the sample were 70 per cent more likely to be retweeted than the truth, even after accounting for account age, activity level and their number of followers. The most viral fake news was political in nature.
The study was carried out by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Laboratory for Social Machines.
From The Inquirer.net : False stories travel way faster than the truth, says study
and New Scientist : Fake news travels six times faster than the truth on Twitter
and The Economist : On Twitter, falsehood spreads faster than truth.

If you weren't a retard you could figure it out for yourself. It wasn't subtle. "Hence no Jew can be a countryman." is many things, subtle is not numbered among them. But points 4, 5 and 6 are generally accepted as primarily directed at the Jews. 23 and 24 aimed broader than just Jews but certainly was motivated by the same impulse to remove the encroaching Soviet / Jewish influence.
But since I already pulled the list, I'll specifically issue the challenge to argue against the assertion that Progs are fully on board or already generally to the Left of part one of point 7, and points 9-18, 20-25. Points 1-3 are just butthurt over the Treaty of Versailles and unimportant outside their point in time and 19 is a similar historical oddity. While anti-military feelings dominate the Left, they might not want the specific solution in 22, hard to figure out what the Left wants on that issue currently. They loved the military when Obama was droning people but seem to have flipped again with Trump's election.
