I can't speak to the historicity of this but I read a hypothesis that the Romans deflected blame onto the Jews when they established Christianity as their state religion, which if true would make it one of the foundational moments in European antisemitism

Certainly sounds more true than not (though I'm aware that doesn't necessarily make it so). Latin (western, Catholic/Protestant) Christianity basically took a grassroots, pacifistic, anti-materialistic (and anti-wealth in general) religion and turned it into a crusading, genociding, hyper-intolerant and hyper-imperialist nightmare.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
