TheDankHold, to lemmyshitpost in Two sides to Korea

So it’s better despite having an equally brutal regime? With a leader worship akin to Ancient Rome? It feels like you’re splitting hairs tbh.

Wow you must’ve drank a lot of water

No one’s saying you can’t do anything. I’m simply explaining that your “protest” is ignorable at best and actively beneficial to the people you hate at worst.

No they’d just be happy that there’s less people they have to convince to vote for them. Less people voting means it’s easier to pass policies that enrich them. You aren’t doing some meaningful protest, you’ve removed yourself from the conversation.

There’s tons of money in seeding voter apathy and people like you are why. They get you to remove your own voice and make you think you’re hurting them and not yourself.

They only care about appealing to people who they know vote. Your silent protest is very easy to ignore.

Not voting signals to politicians that they don’t need to care about your vote or you in general.

According to an IDF report the baby was a Hamas base unfortunately.

TheDankHold, to news in France has banned pro-Palestinian protests and vowed to protect Jews from resurgent antisemitism

Like you said, language evolves. People are deciding that the definition you follow is very limited and constrains dialogue by being needlessly exclusionary. So they’re seeking to expand the definition to its logical conclusion.

You can throw a fit about other Semitic people being recognized or you can accept that language changes to fit our current understanding of the world.

Antisemitism still refers to prejudice against Jewish people. It’s also being extended to all Semitic people as to disallow them the ability to categorize prejudice against them is to obfuscate and to an extent even deny their own reality.

TheDankHold, to memes in Dilema

If you reread they never said those nations didn’t engage in conquest.

They already acknowledged that conquest isn’t exclusive to euro-American history so I’m not sure what point you think you’re making right now.

That’s not an answer to the question.

Interesting that you use the idea that English is a living language to push back against people using a term in a way you’ve decided is incorrect. Seems like you don’t think English is that alive after all if you refuse to incorporate all Semitic people into the concept of antisemitism.

You can’t cite descriptivist arguments to defend your prescriptivist attitude towards the term antisemitism. It betrays your own bias and deflates your argument.

Language evolves, just like you said. Which is why people are realizing the double speak nature of this idea that antisemitism is only when you’re prejudiced against a specific Semitic people group and the others don’t get a term to describe prejudice against them. Your position is an Orwellian attempt to deny a group of people the ability to specifically identify their oppression and it’s sad.

TheDankHold, to memes in Public Transit my beloved 😍

Renting is a concept that exists, just in case you were unaware.
