So, Instagram has started pushing threads into users’ feed, and every now and then we get a glimpse into the unmoderated crapshoot that is that app…
L.E.: should be noted I do not have a threads account, have never even downloaded the app, this is sorta like “advertising” to try to convince you to move to their platform.
I’m pretty sure reddit and most social media is bias to the left. Maybe you should check your own beliefs as it sounds like you are part of the radical left like most people here.
When I say far right I’m talking about antisemitic beliefs that are often rooted in racist religious beliefs. That’s not your average conservative.
Well yes, I am part of the ‘radical left’, and proudly so, by that mean I believe in healthcare, food and a place to live for all people regardless of any qualifier and think the political/economic systems in place now will not achieve that.
I agree the average conservative is not a believer in that sort of antisemitism, but it’s not uncommon. In the terms of US politics, social media platforms do have a left bias, from a more global perspective though they are center or center-right, and overall just do whatever will protect their profits. Reddit, Twitter, others will ban left-wing and anti-capitalist groups and allow their algorithms to push content they know encourages far-right violence because it generates more activity.
Furthermore, they may not believe in the Nazi sort of antisemitism, but ask them if this is a Christian country. Ask them if there should be Christian prayer in schools. For a real laugh, ask them if Passover should be made a federal holiday like Christmas.
Because their likely answers to all of those are, at a certain level, antisemitic. Maybe not knowingly so, but still antisemitic. It is antisemitic (and anti-every other group that isn’t Christian) to expect this to be a Christian country that works on Christian principles.
What you call antisemitic is just not being a Jewish nation. If you are Jewish you are free to believe what you want without being blow up or harmed. Attacking the Jewish population and or blaming them for historical events is what I consider antisemitic.
You do bring up a good point about the US being a sort of Christian nation. I guess that is history I suppose.
No.
If you say America is a Christian nation, you are being antisemitic.
If you say there should be Christian prayer in American schools, you are being antisemitic.
If you say under no circumstances should a Jewish holiday be given the same prominence as a Christian holiday, you are being antisemitic.
You just don’t realize it.
Absurd. An attempt to establish your own religion as the dominant religion is not a result of a specific bias against Jews, as antisemitism implies. It is a belief that oneself is superior that results in a bias against anyone who is different
Calling it antisemitic is a tacit prioritization of your own marginalization over the marginalization of others, which fundamentally comes from the same mindset
Antisemitism implies no such thing.
Also, how is it a prioritization when I specifically said: (and anti-every other group that isn’t Christian)
Or when you said ‘your own’ did you mean ‘everyone who is not Christian?’
Because it’s antisemitic and antiHindu and antiMuslim and anti-every other religion to suggest Christianity deserves any legal primacy in America.
I’m not sure there is alternative to “capitalism” as you call it. As it turns out we are all greedy and to add salt to the wound all of the Communist revolutions failed within a short time and caused a lot of bloodshed.
I’m scarred of communism because it causes death and starvation in the end. What you all a right wing bias is the same to me as removing violent and harmful content. You legitimately scare me. (That’s not suppose to be insulting) We are no longer locked in a cold war so the best course of action I suppose is to just ignore you.
All that is baseless capitalist propaganda
Please define ‘the radical left.’
I’m mostly referring to the people who politically very liberal.
I think you have some definition issues here… Because ‘liberal’ according to my dictionary when used in a political sense means “relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.”
That really doesn’t sound especially radical to me.
Care to try again?
Sounds to me like OP has the Asleep Mind Virus.
That isn’t even close to a definition, that is basically just a synonym.
It is like describing a cube as cubistic.
Yeah really weird how you people claim to not support racist religious fascists yet vote for them every time
Fucking fascist doesn’t even know the difference between liberal and leftist
