A meme is an idea or behavior that spreads by means of imitation within a culture, carrying a shared, broadly accessible symbolic meaning

@Paulinski1987 @StopAntisemites Yes

@SababaSabba @obgenetics @playboyjon @StopAntisemites I don’t support Hamas, nor have I claimed to.

How did you reach that conclusion?

Biden, you are currently promoting the use of American taxpayer dollars to fund the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

Please stop the madness now.
This doesn’t represent voters.

Like all foreign military aid, US military aid should come with stipulations that war crimes are not committed, as a minimum.

Bees can be blue.

Xylocopa caerulea, the blue carpenter bee, is non-aggressive and semi-solitary.

They do not build hives like honeybees but instead prefer to live inside dead wood.

It is found throughout Southeast Asia, India, and Southern China.

some big players must be noticing that anti censorship and advocating individual creativity is the next meta

‘big player’ (we’ll just call them that) offered me 10 racks for a 1100s token

It’s reasonable of you to ask this and I agree the article I provided is more about Jewish people reacting to the fact that Israel is attempting to claim that it speaks for all Jews (which is antisemitic).

This is a clear fact but it would take time and energy I don’t have right now to establish why that is, based on many points of reference, especially recent speeches by Israeli officials.

If this is not something you’re familiar with or understand, we’ll have to leave it here. I invite you to learn out it and consider for yourself

Comparing Black men to monkeys in order to degrade and dehumanize them is something western colonial cultures have done for centuries.

To me, it matters to observe for how these patterns continue. White supremacy is written so deeply into the culture, especially American culture.

I find it worth noticing these potential patterns, like seen in the product above, that mimic nearly every theme of the old racist licorice cigarettes. I don’t assume this was intentional. But culture and racial bias often affect people’s actions in ways that aren’t deliberate on their part.

This is just one article going over how deep this history of comparing Black men to apes goes:

@obgenetics @playboyjon @StopAntisemites Basically all major Israeli government talking points do this right now. It’s not a secret.

It’s an overt part of Israel’s justification for war.

[Ø Ivan @Ivan87403]

@obgenetics @playboyjon @StopAntisemites Israel has claimed to kill thousands of civilians in the name of all Jews.

Just to be clear, nothing about that is antisemitic, in your perspective?

[Ø Ivan @Ivan87403]

@obgenetics @playboyjon @StopAntisemites That could be taken as implied, though it’s not explicit. If that was the intent, I agree that’s antisemitic.

By the exact same logic, Israel is also claiming that they represent all Jews in their actions.

Would you agree that Israel is also being antisemitic in this way?

[Ø Ivan @Ivan87403]

@Panigale12000 @StopAntisemites This is another common non answer.

I imagine that you’ve got even more at the ready.

[Ø Ivan @Ivan87403]

@playboyjon @StopAntisemites I don’t know why this particular person/people did it

That doesn’t mean that it makes sense to default to calling it antisemitism.

This is especially true because there is a very real and compelling cause that the graffiti explicitly identifies.

[Ø Ivan @Ivan87403]

@NCmylo @StopAntisemites How do you know that?
