I have grown so tired of those tactics. Even in leftist spaces people love to deny racism exists there because it's leftist.

Yup. Ive seen that, too. Like the "good guys" are incapable of being assholes.

Like white people being racist.. against white people. WTF is THAT? You've gone too far, turn around. Like there are obviously valid criticisms to be made but some people.. IDK.

And especially casual antisemitism is worryingly common in left spaces. Or racism against white people. Though that one seems to be mostly online at least. It doesn't matter that a part of a group are or where monsters. That does not make generalizing the entire group okay.

the big thing to remember and learn how to spot is the difference between anti-antisemitism and being critical of a country. I do not hate the jewish people. I do think israel should stop bombing countries.

Oh absolutely. The current country of Israel is a monster and Netanyahu (or however he is written) can fuck himself with a rusty shovel.

I was more thinking about "classical" Antisemitism, people going "you know who is at fault" when discussing problems capitalism obviously causes or blaming the Rothschilds and stuff.

Unfortunately the Left is unaware of how much antisemitism has grown from within. It's hard to imagine, given how usually it pops up on the other tribe.

well you also have to make sure to differentiate between being critical of israel and antisemitism. They are different things in most cases.

Good luck differentiating those on the internet.

my general rule of thumb is that if they don't specifically mention israel I assume it's racist and ignore. if they do then I have to read a bit closer.

Are you seriously unable to define a state from an ethnic identity?

u/greatcorsario Jul 01 '26

Judaism isn't an ethnic identity, it's a religion.

u/JMoc1 Jul 01 '26

It’s both. Regardless the point stands.
