In that you’re trying to get people to ignore the impact of the words and what it’s doing to victims of it?
I am in no way doing that. Why are you making such a nonsensical accusation when I explained why I said whst I did in great detail?
Refusing to let them win the propaganda war by policing your language does not in any way do that.
You’re basically accusing me of being a bigot by saying that a word that should describe bigotry is being used to describe things that are not bigoted to support a genocide.
You are in every way doing that.
You are promoting that others downplay or outright ignore the importance of what is happening with the word today, because you’re more concerned with a lesser evil meaning of the word being lost.
In one thread you’re complaining about me not being civil and in this one you’re calling me a bigot. Who am I even being bigoted against? Antisemites?
In one thread I’m complaining about you making a personal attack on my character.
And in this one I’ve never called you a bigot, those are your own words you keep using to describe yourself here.
In here I’ve accused you of ignoring why calling out the usage of the word antisemitism is important to the victims of it amidst an ongoing genocide.
That is absolutely implying I am a bigot, so I have no idea why you’re trying to gaslight me.
