Thanks, I'm going to read this uncritically and as if it's real. Let me know if that's an issue.

A little context would, in fact, be helpful.
Seems like this tweet should have had more context

You are WILDLY IRRESPONSIBLE for tweeting this document without offering any context and framework to ensure that anyone looking at this document understands that it is one of the most dangerous embodiments of antisemitism ever produced. (cc: @HolocaustMuseum @AuschwitzMuseum)

@HolocaustMuseum: "Its lies about Jews have been repeatedly discredited, but…continues to circulate today… The individuals and groups who have used the Protocols are all linked by a common purpose: to spread hatred of Jews & to promote hatred, violence, & even genocide."

There’s a reason historians write about sources in context rather than just vomiting them onto readers.

C’mon, guys. Do better. If this is where you’re at, it shouldn’t be difficult at all.
FBI Records Vault regularly tweets out files it is releasing by just including the subject (here, "Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion") without context. That needs to change. The FBI should've said it was releasing FBI docs debunking the infamous anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. https://t.co/T7cWuqdtlw
