Not here on Lemmy, but I’ve definitely seen some examples in the last few days that made me a little uncomfortable in other places online.
I can sympathize with the desire to dehumanize him because as an individual he’s completely reprehensible, but I just worry that the ease at which the dehumanization is happening that it’s allowing fucked up people to slip in anti-semitic messaging among it and that it’s helping solidify fucked up right wing bullshit views which are already running rampant.
Sorry if this is the wrong community for this, don’t hesitate to remove the post, mods.
is he jew? TIL, i always assumed he was just lizard people

Born and raised in a Reform Jewish household, Zuckerberg later identified himself as an atheist. However, he said in 2016 that, “I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important.”

The reptilian conspiracy theory alleges that shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth.
Belief in reptilians sometimes references anti-Semitic texts. For example, the perpetrator of the 2020 Nashville bombing was influenced by the writings of David Icke, who in turn referenced 1903 anti-Semitic fabricated text The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
zuck is a cunt, regardless of his religious leanings
His ethnicity/faith has nothing to do with him being a terrible person. If someone criticized him FOR those reasons then they would be a fascist.
Not what that word means.
I think the word you’re looking for is “racist.”
If we can’t criticize a major public figure because of their race, that would be racist.
Provided you’re not criticising them for their race, I agree.
Which I think is OPs point
Honestly, didn’t know he was Jewish.
His own personal identity is strong enough that I don’t think the two things are gonna get conflated
No.
Not one bit.
I am concerned some people are trying to pretend this is at all an actual issue. I know these days antisemitism gets thrown around for all sorts of irrelevant things however.
I’m sure someone is. I, however, am not.
I haven’t even seen one. 🤷🏻♂️
I heard he had a humanlike penis installed recently.
