So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…

L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.

I agree the average conservative is not a believer in that sort of antisemitism, but it’s not uncommon

Furthermore, they may not believe in the Nazi sort of antisemitism, but ask them if this is a Christian country. Ask them if there should be Christian prayer in schools. For a real laugh, ask them if Passover should be made a federal holiday like Christmas.

Because their likely answers to all of those are, at a certain level, antisemitic. Maybe not knowingly so, but still antisemitic. It is antisemitic (and anti-every other group that isn't Christian) to expect this to be a Christian country that works on Christian principles.

What you call antisemitic is just not being a Jewish nation. If you are Jewish you are free to believe what you want without being blow up or harmed. Attacking the Jewish population and or blaming them for historical events is what I consider antisemitic.

You do bring up a good point about the US being a sort of Christian nation. I guess that is history I suppose.

No.

If you say America is a Christian nation, you are being antisemitic.

If you say there should be Christian prayer in American schools, you are being antisemitic.

If you say under no circumstances should a Jewish holiday be given the same prominence as a Christian holiday, you are being antisemitic.

You just don't realize it.

Absurd. An attempt to establish your own religion as the dominant religion is not a result of a specific bias against Jews, as antisemitism implies. It is a belief that oneself is superior that results in a bias against anyone who is different

Calling it antisemitic is a tacit prioritization of your own marginalization over the marginalization of others, which fundamentally comes from the same mindset

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Antisemitism implies no such thing.

Also, how is it a prioritization when I specifically said: (and anti-every other group that isn’t Christian)

Or when you said 'your own' did you mean 'everyone who is not Christian?'

Because it's antisemitic and antiHindu and antiMuslim and anti-every other religion to suggest Christianity deserves any legal primacy in America.
