Why did “pushing hatred against” get softened to “discriminate against”? That’s not at all what was said.
" we don’t hate those people, we just think they’re not as good as we are"
Splitting the hair might thin there?
That’s where it starts.
No. And why now are we pretending that hating and pushing hate are the same thing? My grandfather hating Chinese people isn’t the same thing as my grandfather’s community organizing to push anti-Chinese propaganda.
Why can’t we just address what was actually said?
If grandpa hates those people, then he will act in a way that shows he hates those people. This is the same as pushing people to hate those people. The only difference is it’s one person instead of a coordinated effort.
Are you saying that 10 grandpas is more than 10 times as bad as one grandpa? Is hatred that we can’t easily see better than hatred that we can? I honestly don’t know the answer. But it feels like both are really wrong.
I’m saying claiming that Jewish communities promote hatred against white people is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory and not at all similar to claiming individuals often harbor discriminatory feelings or even hatred for those outside of their in-group.
Saying “Jews do X” is always a stupid over simplification. There are more types of beliefs among Jews than there are Christians.
Do some of them profess hateful things? Yeah, probably. But I think we need to be specific about those groups.
Just like I won’t say all Christians are hateful bastards. Even though a whole bunch of them are.
