People will say this is just a joke but no way would any other minority be subject to racist jokes at their expense

In before one of the tankie lurkers tries to say that Jews controlling the weather isn’t antisemitic or some other bullshit.

This is such an obvious joke that you have to seriously try to get offended by

Nah ppl make jokes at minority’s expense. But not so frequently or casually like they do to Jews and little backlash when it’s with Jews

We had a snowstorm in January where everybody was making this joke, and they were saying it had nothing to do with the Jewish part 🤦🏼♂️

Is that common of leftist? It’s definitely something I hear from the right a lot. Not to say the left can’t be or isn’t antisemitic just Jews controlling the weather & having space lasers isn’t something I normally hear from them.

Not law enforcement, it’s honor code violations, which are different

it also puts a target on someone so law enforcement can get involved if the school deems that they should

Yeah I think it’s good to start getting law enforcement involved. Joke or not it’ll teach people to think twice before saying these things.

In order for good speech to be protected, bad speech has to be protected too. It has to be universal, or it can be turned around.

I see what you’re saying but maybe we draw the line here because of how wide spread this type of sentiment has become in the last two years.

What sentiment? The sentiment that Jews control the weather?? It’s a dumbass joke not a criminal offense

If we do, it can just as easily be used to silence things we say too. Anything short of a threat, no matter how disgusting, is protected. Even application is what keeps good speech safe.

It’s certainly not a criminal offense, but calling it a mere joke is also disingenuous at best, and hateful at worst.

I think making jokes about a specific person who is a rabbi, using hateful tropes, is problematic

I think it’s very similar to making glad jokes about a Catholic priest, but it’s fine to do that right??

Catholics have not been slaughtered on the basis of those jokes

Nobody in 1940 was making Jews control the weather jokes, and nobody today means it genocidely

Let me preface this by saying I’m not right wing. I’ve only voted blue. We have these tankie schmucks come on this channel on a daily basis. Here is a screen shot from the other day of this one person and how they described their political compass

This same person also was on a post downplaying blatant antisemitism

It’s exhausting being gaslit by people trying to say there is no antisemitism on the far left. It exists both on the left and the right and is pervasive here on this app.

I never said it didn’t exists on the left my literally words were
“Not to say that the left CAN’T be or ISN’t antisemitic just Jews controlling the weather & having space lasers is something I hear from the right”

Bro like every discriminated against ethnic minority gets subjected to racist jokes at our expense, what? It’s become way more pervasive and casual targeted it at us recently since antisemitism had been rising but that’s only recently

If that was a student sure, not for a public figure like that tho

There’s antisemitism on the left, it’s just usually of a different nature than the antisemitism on the right

It’s not similar though, because there actually is a problem in the Catholic Catholic of some priests who’ve abused kids
Whereas no Jewish person controls the weather

Yes I completely understand that and agree with you, but they are both making joke about specific religious leaders using hateful tropes. My comment was only specifically in reply to 5
