    Interesting linguistic history: the strategy was to label everything that was bad as Jewish. It wasn’t the other way around where everything a Jewish person does is wrong/bad. If chickens didn’t lay enough eggs then it was considered Jewish (or Non-aryan). So any piece of literature is immediate nonsense because the words just don’t have the same meaning. It was an attempt at two-value orientation, so it would just evoke a good/bad or right/wrong response without any further thought. You still see this today with stuff like how American politicians talk about China, same sex marriage, immigration from mexico, etc.
