I got a warning on reddit a couple days ago for suggesting Deni Avdija (NBA player) is getting a superstar whistle this season because he is Israeli.
They removed my comment and threatened me with a ban for promoting violence when all I said was "It's because he's Israeli." In response to the OPs question.
I was mostly joking, but it kinda seems like they are already doing what this guy is saying they should do.
Remember if you must reddit, lurk, any voting, commenting you do over there is transferring value from you to reddit.
I know, I feel a bit ashamed that I made an account and started commenting again. I'm going to delete it again soon.
People underestimate how hard it is to stay out of the comments. Most of our happy chemicals come from the comments. We’ve trained ourselves to head there after reading the post, if not just the headline. It’s not good, not now, when the comments are policed and filtered so thoroughly.
And this is why I’m here
So...the Jews want to control the media...? Man, they're really trying to live up to some of those old stereotypes.
But now that it's a stereotype you aren't allowed to call it out if it really happens lol
Shrewd maneuvers.
Not Jews but Zionists specifically, including Christian Zionists. Zionists have had siginficant control over US media for a very long time but when you state the obvious people call it the antisemitic trope because they have been conditioned to do so. They were pretty open about why they bought TikTok
Only antisemitism? Not other forms of racism?
I bet the only form of "antisemitism" this is about, is criticism of genocide.
I mean, the title may be true, but I'd hardly call this a crazy law. Draconian censorship is routine and endemic globally. It's the Free Speech policy that's "crazy".
As more media is heavily monetized, the real appeal of censorship is as a revenue source. Surveillance, draconian administration, and targeting of dissidents all become income streams for the platforms.
Nothing unusual about that, either
I like free speech. I'm on a 1st amendment guaranteed free speech website and I can scrap with diehard trump supporters on there which is quite fun. There are people who love trump of course and there are also people on the right who are aware that trump is a zionist pet. It's nice being able to disagree with people but without being banned for having the wrong opinion. This way, I develop a better understanding of how others think.
How is targeting dissidents a revenue source? Not in most countries surely?
Thank god I am not American.
Europe unfortunately isn't really going in the right direction either with things like chat control
Digital services act is the one that put up speech controls for socials.
A better example
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
MOTHERFUCKERRRRR
You can't tell me what to do! I WILL suck dick in the library!
Cunnalingus appreciators win again
And remember his definition of anti-Semitism includes accurately reporting the activities of Israelis in Gaza.
...or we can just decentralize the entire web again. Oh and I prefer Cosmo
The First Amendment is already gone. Have you seen what happens to people who criticize the regime? The US is cooked, fam.
First Amendment was always a polite fiction of the regime. Americans get to pretend they have it until they upset someone with actual power.
But you're always free to run scams, to slander the weak and vulnerable, and to rally bigots into a lynch mob. So the idea of Free Speech remains valuable to demagogues and unscrupulous marketing goons alike.
jesus fucking christ stop giving a platform to assholes. Don't disseminate their ideas. Ever.
If ignoring them worked, we'd be fine.
In principle, I agree with you. But the problem is, these assholes already have the platform. They own it, in the literal sense (they outright own or hold large shares in the major social media platforms and the traditional media outlets) and in the more general, vague sense (their beliefs, even if fringe, will get pushed into mainstream discourse because of their grotesquely outsized disproportionate influence). He's a billionaire. If he wants his message heard by the world, it will be heard, period, because we live in a capitalist society, which isn't called a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie for nothing.
Given this reality that their ideas will be disseminated regardless, it becomes important to counter them. To shout out the truth that their ideas are disgusting and how they do great harm to regular people and to the world. It is important to mock them and show others how ridiculous and heinous their ideas are.
In short:
If an evil voice has no platform or is struggling to grow one, then I absolutely agree - do not give it to them. But when they already have it, it can only make things worse if their opposition (we, ourselves) remain silent about the harm they're already doing.
That Heeb be a Dweeb!
When any criticism of the Israeli government or expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people is "antisemitic", you've damaged and weakened the very meaning of the word "antisemitism" and the moral authority of those who wield it.
I've heard some people say some straight-up antisemitic things recently, and, for the first time in my life, I've been scared to speak up against it. Because this country successfully destroyed the meaning of antisemitism to the point that a Nazi could easily stomp my Jewish ass without facing real heat concerning hate crimes because they support Israel or whatever.
My community should have really considered the repercussions of agreeing with a Nazi back when they had a chance. Instead, when I'd point out that being on the same page as Nazis usually implies you're on the wrong side, they responded that maybe it's time to admit that Hitler might have had some good ideas.
You don't have to have seen Lost Boys to know that you shouldn't invite a vampire into your home. Same goes for Nazis.
i have a question to ponder. Why is the term 'antisemitism' used so much more often than 'antijudaism'
Someone else gave the clean version, but the conspiracy theory version is Antisemitism relates Jews with the middle east even though most are from Eastern Europe and have no connection to actual semites. Therefore the term antisemitism is an extension of zionism.
Because Judaism only covers the religion, while semitism covers so much more. It would not be antisemitic to say that my chances for dementia are significantly elevated, even though that is a common trait with people of my Jewish lineage. And, in fact, I've watched most of my family die from neurodegenerative diseases.
What is antisemitic is when people tell me that I don't have a very Jewish-looking nose. No amount of reading the Torah will give your family dementia or enlarge your nose.
The chances that I'm circumcised are higher, and that's because of my religion. Guessing that wouldn't be antisemitic, but asking if my parents cut my pp off could possibly be seen as such.
I'm not sure if I made sense with all this. You're welcome.
my answer would be that Palestinians are Semites
Buddy, I don't want people to think Jews control the media, but it sure seems like you do
It’s not “Jews” it’s a fundamentalist ethnostate that has occupied our government. Implying it’s “Jews” just plays into their victim defense. Not trying to get on you just trying to spread awareness about changing our language so it’s harder for Israel to claim victim hood for the consequences of their own actions.
Capitalism is the heir of feudalism and always the prelude to fascism, a system of control and oppression, never a political system. Billionairs and politicians need to be controlled, not the other way arround.
Sounds like a good way to get people who have no problem with Israel to start having a problem with Israel.
If you don’t have a problem with Israel you’re not paying attention
That's the entire point of what theyre saying. Most people aren't paying attention. But do something like this and they will start to.
Sounds like a threat to America and American values.
He is anti-American.
I thought fueling Israel's crimes was an American value?
Seems like reverse Nazi to me.
Zionists are the heirs to Nazi fascism.
Anti-semites: Jews have no place in modern society and multi-culturalism is a sham
Zionists: Jews have no place in modern society and multi-culturalism is a sham
