So apparently for lemmy.world mods pointing out that the word “anti-semite” is far more used than "antigypsyism, anti-Romanyism, antiziganism, ziganophobia, or Romaphobia” even though the Nazis targetted both Jews and Roma in the Holocaust, is, somehow, “Criticizing Jewish people as a whole”.
Or maybe it’s the whole “I don’t care about any one specific race, I care about people and think it’s always unjusct when people are treated differently based on things they were born with, such as race” that was deemed “Criticizing Jewish people as a whole”.
Good old lemmy.world: they were called on it repeatedly so eventually walked back on the whole “criticizing Israel is anti-semitic” but apparently if you don’t go along with the view that racism against a very specific group is much worse than racism against people from other groups, then you must be against that specific ethnic group.
My comment in text for reference:
All clearly as frequently used as “anti-semitism” /s
And yeah, I don’t care about race, any race, I care about people, which includes that they’re not unjustly treated for things that were not their choice, such as the race they were born into.
It’s Racists who feel the need to care about a race or races, defending things for some races which they do noit defend for others, doing little performances about how others must care about those races too and that those who don’t “are against those races” - for them race comes first, defining a person and dictating how they should be treated.
For Humanists race is something that should be of as little importance to how somebody is treated as the color of their eyes or how tall they are, and yet they see again and again race weponized by Racists to treat people differently even though those people haven’t actually earned such treatment through their actions: in other words race fro Humanists is something that should be irrelevant yet has been turned by others into a pivot for injustice.
It’s pretty obvious from your little performance which one you are
It’s been almost a century since the Holocaust and, as I said, from my own experience living all over Europe, things are not like that anymore in most of Europe (though I heard Hungary is still a shithole in that sense).
From all I’ve seen, the “go to chew toy and scapegoat” these days just about everywhere in Europe is Muslims.
The Humanist point of view is that you go harder after the racial discrimination causing the most harm, and these days that’s not anti-semitism, so it logically follows that those people demanding that in the present day far more resources and attention are dedicated to anti-semitism than to those forms of Racial Discrimination which, right now, are causing far more harm and are more widespread, aren’t driven by a Humanist desire to reduce pain and harm (as if that was the case they would want even more help and attention for the even more damaging forms of Racial Discrimination), and hence the most likely explanation for their desire for such an unfair allocation of resources (especially unfair when contrasted with things like Romaphobia, and right now even more so Islamophobia due to the mass murdering along ethnic lines which is the Gaza Genocide) is Racial Preference and Racial Discrimination, or in other words, Racism.
This aligns to how the Jewish Supremacists - the Zionists - have infiltrated, subverted and weaponized the fight against anti-semitism (which is obvious to all in how criticism of Israel is repeatedly deemed “anti-semitism”, even codified as that in Law in some European countries) and turned it into a tool to advance their own malevolent supremacist ends: it makes sense that most of the push for keeping anti-semitism the form of Racial Discrimination that gets the most attention and resources is coming from the supremacists since that boosts their position, rather than from people genuinely concerned with the harm caused by anti-semitism, and a strategy of repeatedly pulling out the events of the Holocaust, almost a century ago, to guilt others into going along with that (even in the face what now seems like a new Holocaust, being commited by those very supremacists) is an obvious strategy, especially in places like Germany.
And in all this, out comes a moderator - in lemmy.world which has a history of supporting Israel in their Genocide - claiming that me pointing this out is me "Criticizing Jewish people as a whole”.
Accusing people of being “Against the race” when they don’t go along with one’s demands of extra attention for their claims of Racial Discrimination against that ethnic group, is EXACTLY the kind of reaction that Racial Supremacists have, as examplified by assorted White Supremacists, such as the KKK and the Afrikaaners in Apartheid South Africa who were prone to make wild exagerated claims of “attacks on Whites” and would then, whenever these claims were challenged, accuse people of being “Against Whites”.
Humanists fighting against Racism don’t accuse others of being “Against the race” when they disagree, because they don’t look at it as races, they look at is as people being made to suffer by others who use Race as an excuse.
Dude. Don’t unload on me.
