Uh.. socks you know he called a couple Jewish people Nazi supporters right?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (31 children)

Yep - that's my point. I think Saiditors are tired of seeing this excuse by some people who - because of their ancestry - do not believe they can be criticized for supporting hate groups. For example, the anti-semitism arguments are so worn out that one can see aparthied Israel as a neo-Nazi state, but can be called anti-semitic for saying this. There are also well-known neo-Nazi supporters of the trucker protests.

This is ridiculous socks. This is the same broad stroke painting that racists do. Saying vaccine mandate protesters are white supremacists, and anyone who supports them is a neo-nazi, is no different than saying Black people are stupid, or Jews are greedy.

do not believe they can be criticized for supporting hate groups.

No, Jews can be criticized for supporting hate groups, but its insane to accuse them of supporting anti-Jewish hate groups. These two individual Jews support protesting vaccine mandates.

He is a racist, that's why the arguments are the same. It's the same hate but with even worse excuses and superiority complex.

You'd think, but this is a disturbing several-year trend in right-wing politics by a number of people who happen to be Jewish - who support groups that have Nazis, and when called on it, they yell that it's antisemitic to assume they support the Nazis in those groups (whereas they do support all people in those groups)

Define the word "nazi".

Anyone who isn't a tranny or pedophile.

So what, there are also well known marxist supporters and well known liberal supporters. So what? What's your logic?

Quite a few American nazis supported Obama as president over McCain. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a4719/racists-support-obama-061308/ so by your logic Obama was a nazi too.

Then we have everyone's favorite black politician, Justin Trudeau https://saidit.net/s/canada/comments/8xlt/trudeau_says_conservatives_stand_with_nazis_this/

Of course guilt by association, which you seem to live by, was an actual nazi policy.

So - you're an admin now, and your 3 responses to me 2 hours ago are just attacks, with minimal relevance to the main points about political attacks against Trudeau, with the partial exception of one of these notes. All three responses from you are forms of whataboutism and forms of attack, rather than points of discussion that address the topic of attacks on Trudeau from politicians using WWII history as their reasons. I'll respond to your points when you show an interest in a discussion. Saidit is what it is because of responses like yours.

Your entire post is a whataboutism. You are clearly sealioning, as I know you aren't stupid enough not to see how absurd these arguments are

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

(It's not sealioning to respond to someone who responded to me. Jet approached me, not the other way around. Moreover, I am not making 'arguments'; I am telling Jet that I will not respond to attacks, but will respond to discusission. Same goes for you.)

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (21 children)

Yep, we all know you are a hypocritical antisemite. Thanks for confirming, I guess.

/u/AXXA - I see that you 'approved' this comment. This is evidence of moderator abuse (enforcing POD for some but not for others; which is unusual for you - of all people; my comment here is not against you or Jet, but only about the moderator trends on Saidit).

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Did you nazi this coming?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Ha! Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, but I don't know as much since I left the Disciples sub. (It's been interesting to see the various developments at Saidit in the past 16 months. As Reddit has gone corporate in recent years, Saidit is becoming more insular, whereas there is so much more potential at Saidit.)

Merriam-Webster defines "nigger", "faggot", "retard", and "moron" as offensive but does not define "anti-Semite" as offensive. I don't believe you are an anti-Semite but I also don't understand it to be an offensive term.

Thanks for your response, but I really should ask:

Really - you're going to spin this as though it were not ad hominem?

So you say here that it's OK on Saidit to post - instead of an argument - an insult that a person is a hypocritical racist, bigot or antisemitic? So you support Saidit's support of hate speech in this manner? Could I ask Cloudflare about this?

Antisemitism is considered to be a form of racism

The questions are rhetorical. My point is that you are indicating here that Saidit supports racism and references to others as racists, IF you consider Jet's comment not ad hominem. Perhaps you could send the email to Cloudflare.

Merriam-Webster does not define "racist", "bigot", "liar" or "ignoramus" as offensive but does define "idiot" and "cracker" as offensive. You would need to ask /u/magnora7 exactly what Saidit supports but Merriam-Webster is probably a good guideline to start with.

Since you flagged me, let's back up. Why did you 'approve' a comment that hadn't been removed in the first place? What was the purpose of that? I don't understand.

[–]AXXA 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

The comment was reported so I approved it in order to clear the moderator queue.

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

Oh I see.

Well for the record the comment is not against the rules, and I agree with your ruling. But approving it rather than ignoring it does have this unfortunate confrontational aspect where it looks like you're giving it your 'seal of approval' rather than just ignoring the reports. Just my 2 cents, doesn't really matter. Carry on lol
