"you are jewish" is such a brilliantly effective narrative battering ram that I would put it into the memetic weapon category along with "its ok to be White"
I sometimes feel an urge to make a chapter-length effort-post analyzing it but I don't know if having that out there will blunt its effectiveness, which IMO matters even on a small-ball forum that nobody reads like this one

I'm not inclined to agree. "It's okay to be white" works because it's blatantly true, and the opposition to it proves the underlying point. "You're a Jew" isn't inherently true, and can easily backfire. I just said it was funny.
If you want to convince me otherwise, I am curious though. Doesn't have to be the full write up, and you can DM me if you want to keep it lowkey, but I am curious what makes it brilliant.
You could classify it alongside "Islam is right about women" where the text and the subtext are in opposition so it requires some prior knowledge of the meta, while for "it's okay to be white" the text and the subtext are in alignment.
