I can’t view the post but I assume it’s talking about the word “goyim” based on these comments

it was widely used in Yiddish a few centuries ago to mean “non-Jewish European” people don’t use it very often in the american jewish community except ironically or as part of a joke. it can be positive or negative depending on context but mostly neutral. in yiddish it often was more “culturally different” than better or worse

like in 1850’s Europe an Ashkenazi elder might say a younger Jew has a “goyische kopf” meaning strange new ideas from outside the Jewish community

“shabbos goy” is an affectionate term for a non-Jewish person who helps Orthodox Jewish people on Shabbat

“lo yisa goy el goy cherev” is the hebrew translation of “nation will not lift up sword against nation”

Yeahhhh I’ve seen that online used in pretty bad ways by racists. Basically like “you’re carrying water for Israel” or “you’re a useful idiot”

yeah neo nazis use it to insult non-Jews who they think work for Jews and often times ironically refer to themselves as “goys” like it’s some kind of act of resistance. there’s a myth that “goy” means “cattle” which it does noy

I’m not making an argument, I’m just saying that it’s very often misused by racists as a pejorative

It’s been on 4chan for a while, and maybe the deep depths of some TikTok and Twitter comments for a few years. It definitely only recently became somewhat mainstream (for online people)

It was til now. Vast majority of any Jewish kid you find on campus doesn’t know a word of Hebrew outside Shabbat prayers. People do not do this, unless I guess if you’re a billionaire sex trafficker

epstein was a freak who couldn’t stand feeling inferior so he headed off being made fun of for being jewish by intentionally ironically playing it up
