you are antisemitic if you don't think the National Guard should be called up to murder peaceful student protestors

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I think there might be something wrong with you if you don't look at 99% of the accusations of antisemitism being levied at people who are like "don't genocide Palestine" and see something wrong with that
Or like shit like jk Rowling (who wrote very antisemitic caricatures in her shitty books) calling Corbyn an antisemite. Actually I literally only ever see accusations of antisemitism when it's being used by right wingers like her in bad faith, or zionist Jews conflating criticism of Israeli imperialism with it.
I think there has to be something very wrong with you if you think that dishonest accusations of antisemitism renders the concept meaningless. This is a garbage post, and if you genuinely think that antisemitism has ceased to be a factor because of people like Podhoretz then you are also a garbage person.
They're pretty explicit in talking about the word, not the concept. Nobody here is saying antisemitism, the concept, doesn't exist or isn't important, but that the signifier less and less frequently refers to the actual concept of antisemitism.
I think you might just be arguing at cross purposes. Original post was borderline a purely linguistic observation, but you're talking about the underlying phenomenon.
Okay you're just an idiot, bye
