So what if there's nothing wrong with him, this is just how he is?
Anti-Semitism
- Thread starter Teufel
- Start date
Did his anti-Semitism just start appearing in the comics last year, or have there been hints of it before then?
The comic's hard-right turn started in 2019 (apparently a side effect of 2011's radical-feminist reboot, connected by a trans-woman-phobia pipeline), but the canards and caricatures appear to have taken off more recently, per TV Tropes' capsule summary.
This being just how he is and something being wrong with him aren't mutually exclusive. Some people are defective by design but that doesn't make them not defective.
Intentional or not, it sure looks like the Nazis were pleased by Elon's spastic salute.
Coordinated brigading on Wikipedia to strip away Jewish history and perspectives and whitewash Hamas has been ongoing for months. Their arbitration committee just voted to topic-ban multiple editors, but the changes they made are still up, and the decision to forbid the ADL as a Wikipedia source - coordinated by those same editors - remains in effect.

Huh. Consequences. How 'bout that?
Well done!
Heard something that I think fits very well with some of Elon's apologists. That his salute was done as an ironic statement or some such. "If you hug a goat ironically, you're still a goat fucker". I think the same principle can apply to the salute. You may be ******* that goat just to get a rise out of people or to curry favor, but you're still a goat fucker.

The Antisemitism Awareness Act's added language says it would not infringe on religious liberty to protect the claim that Jews killed Jesus.
IF Jesus was a real person and IF the Bible's depiction of events is basically true (for argument's sake) then isn't it ok to say SOME Jewish people killed another Jewish person (Jesus)? Isn't it like saying that some Jewish Israelis killed thousands of people in Palestine (which is easier to verify than the Christian position)?
I can understand possibly that it's anti-semetic to state "The (i.e. "All") Jews" were/are responsible for killing Jesus", right?
What am I missing here, because although I'm a Christian, I have no love for the American "politicians" behind the article above.
First, even with the framing that tries to shift a portion of the blame, the Bible still does say that it was Romans who actually killed Jesus.
And second, there is indeed a history of anti-Semitic Christians blaming "all Jews".
But also yes, blaming one specific group of long-dead Jews is the closest you can get to it that can really be defensibly called "a religious belief".
That's still indirectly anti-Semitic; it's believing complete nonsense that was seemingly put in the Bible for the purpose of scapegoating Jews to take the blame off the Roman authorities.
The idea that a Roman governor gave a Jewish crowd a choice in which condemned person to pardon is absurd.
(Honestly, the fact that the gospels blatantly try to blame the Jews, while still portraying Jesus's actual cause of death as crucifixion by the Romans, is the strongest evidence that exists for the crucifixion having even happened, because if they were making it up they'd have had him killed by the people they actually wanted to blame.)
