Right now, this is analogous to having an active shooter walking around gunning down people, and a random person safely elsewhere saying ‘Don’t shoot him, he has rights!’. No, people are actively suffering and dying. Fix the emergency first, then consider the ramifications.
I believe in the tolerance social contract. You deserve rights so long as you respect the rights of others. Kiwi farms has absolutely no respect for anybody’s rights, and hence does not deserve any themselves.

Can we not have the hundred identical stupid jokes in the comment section like we did in reddit?
As in, you clicked the link I provided, and the link inside that link?
On a side note, aside from our other ongoing discussion:
I’m a believer that at some point, we need to let go of the origin of things and embrace their current meaning. Language evolves. So do other cultural aspects. Just because something was once offensive doesn’t mean it has to be that way forever. And I say this as a PoC.
Why on earth are you focusing so much on the Nazis
Because that’s what the entire article you linked was about! Why were you even linking that if you don’t agree with what they’re saying? It’s like you didn’t even read it before posting 😓 Fine, dropping the dang article and moving on.
My point, which you haven’t actually addressed so far, is that caricature has always been around. Maybe not witches, but other things. Given that, it’s extremely western-centric to assert that all caricature today is rooted solely in antisemitism. It has roots far older and further back than that.
At this point I’m not clear what you’re trying to say. You’re contradicting the article which you linked to yourself. The article states that these imagery only started being associated with the Jews during the Nazi era. You claim otherwise.
I am saying they have their ROOTS in antisemitism
How can caricature, which has been around for millenia, have its roots in antisemitism? Especially in the context of Eastern cultures which couldn’t give a shit about Jews and the Holocaust. One century, we were all making fun of each other, but the next century we were copying the Nazis?

5 figures and counting on Factorio. Do not recommend, gets somewhat repetitive after a while.
Blackface is directly traceable back to slavery, and no earlier. Something as simple as hooked noses or ugly physical characteristics, however? That’s universal.
Unless you’re claiming that hooked noses and other ugly physical characteristics were never used before the Nazis, which I very much doubt, what basis do you have for claiming that ALL such portrayals today are antisemitic? The world does not revolve under Israel. It is possible for other cultures to have aspects that, believe it or not, do not relate directly to western culture.
Maybe in the west, but we do it in Asia, and we couldn’t care less about Jews.

Maybe read what the Chinese people in China are saying.
PC ascension?
Chinese here. Thanks everybody for fighting racism on my behalf. I’d just like to point out that I’ve never considered, or met any other Chinese person who considered, the Xinnie meme racist.
