Mr Lasastryke 12/11/19 12:18:26 PM #187:	Corrik7 posted... It is common sense that anti-semitism is higher on the right. Neo Nazis and other alt right groups hail to the right. We can't simply act like they don't exist. I'd say the right is highly more pro-israel despite this and anti-Semitism is probably declining on the right as a whole, but the fact anti-semitism exists on right more than the left is a given. It has absolutely zero to do with the premise. And, sure, there is nothing wrong at all with calling out both sides regarding it. I was the one arguing for this in regards to terroristic violence from anti-fa and alt right groups after all. But, you seem to be pretty much trying to drown out that it even exists on the left with your whataboutism. i'm glad you acknowledge it exists on both sides but it just seems weird to focus on the left when on the right there's a fucking entire (relatively) new school of thought known for its antisemitic tendencies - the alt-right - with their poster boy now being the president of the united states. i seriously don't get how you can look at that and go "gee, the thing that's REALLY concerning and deserving of attention right now is the rise of antisemitism on the left!" like, has there even been a rise? antisemitism on the left has always existed, i see no reason to assume it's gotten particularly worse in the past several years. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta <cite>Mr Lasastryke posted [p:931423375] in Politics C...
