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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

      I think the word you’re looking for is “racist.”
