So not only did you, yourself, not actually break any rules, but the rule you're being punished for isn't actually explained beyond saying that a location you were speaking in contained something "Hateful"?

Okay, get ready, Saidit. I'm gonna get this whole site banned...

I HATE seafood!

There is only one Vegeta, and Krillian is his prophet.

Literally how "antisemitism" works to control the flow of information

I love this place, and I love you guys, but I think this obsession with Jewish people is a bit worrying. I suspect this is broader - a general love of victimhood from people. A fear of appearing to be the one platform that allows people to talk freely about things.

I thought this place was a bit over the top hating Jews too, seemed rather unfair to lump a whole bunch of disparate people together over a religion.

The Israeli Palestinian conflict has really pissed me off though, seeing what Jews themselves write on social media is inflaming.

Yeah, but there's nut jobs in every group, and they all wriggle to the surface when something vile happens. They smell the rotting meat and it's familiar.

Plenty of white people on Social Media saying all men need to die, but I know that's more of this generations "Edgy" phase than a white thing. Gotta lump disgusting people and their disgusting behaviour together, rather than break it down into sub-groups and then generalizing.

Part of the problem is cultural, perhaps (controversially) racial, and inherent in their group as a whole. Just as not everyone who is black is violent, and yet violence is still very much a problem with the black community.

Stereotypes aren't just made up for nothing.

And you can discuss them with just every group on earth, but you do with one and it's branded antisemitism these days.

I think the origin of antisemitism dates back to when they were forced out of their homeland, settled in other lands, refused to assimilate to those lands and brought money lending rules that defied the local, Christian money lending rules... Specifically Interest, which made people think they were greedy. In those times, if you were considered something negative, you were socially excluded, which caused them to be isolated and hang out together and hire each other for jobs, hence: "Jews always hire other Jews and give each other the leg up in the world. They are greedy and work together to dominate things."

And so all the world decided to have this particular disdain of Jews, and although they may have not cared for other ethnicities as well, only Jews get a special word for it.

Smelly blacks
Lazy mexicans
Thieving gypsies
Stupid pollacks
Corrupt Russians
Thirsty Indians
Dirty Jews

How come one of those is worse than the others?

[–]NastyWetSmear 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't know about worse, but I think I can take a shot at the reason it has its own word: If I had to guess, I'd say partially because only one is equal part religion and race, same as if someone hated Muslims you'd use "Anti-Muslim" because that's the term for the religion, where as "Arabic" is a race, so that would purely be "Racism". Partially because the others didn't originate from something so internal and, thus, debated - You could hate a Saracen or a Moore in the middle ages, but that was fine because they were far away and you were often at war with them. Jews were your neighbours, had their own district, their own businesses, all in towns near by, and you weren't at war with them... But you still hated them, thus earning a special kind of attention. Same as we might identify the fracture between internal groups as "Classist", because that's where the internal divide was.

And, lastly, because, as you're insinuating, Jews work together very tightly and, because of this history of being forced to be insular, they usually come together on stuff like this pretty quickly, and in the modern world, where being the victim is being elevated, it's an easy stepping stone to get everything you want.
