A slur doesn't stop being a slur because teenagers started using it. Today's @nytimes "On Language" column treats the antisemitic slur "goyslop" as a fun linguistic curiosity rather than what it is: a term rooted in white supremacist conspiracy theories.
Normalizing this kind of language is dangerous. "Goyslop" is not just edgy slang. It combines "goy," the Hebrew word that colloquially refers to non-Jews, with "slop" to promote a conspiracy theory that Jewish people deliberately poison non-Jews with cheap food to keep them docile. It was coined and spread by antisemites and white supremacists. No amount of teenage adoption changes that origin.
Such terms spread negative stereotypes and conspiracy theories. Their normalization is exactly what the bigots who coined them aspire to. A bit more on this here: https://t.co/eHiz3qmayF
@China_hp1 The video you posted is so clearly not from Ukraine. They’re literally speaking English and if I’m not mistaken it’s a video of a firework factory exploding from like 10 years ago
@Diggiebot@sentdefender Why would they use a nuclear weapon when they’re already winning the war? I think that would be a last resort option. As of now Trump is basically begging them for a peace deal. They have all the cards in their favor currently. Also Israel has way more nukes than them.
Trump has been repeating the exact same meaningless cycle every single week since he and Netanayau started this war on February 28.
1) We won!; 2) They're begging to surrender!; 3) Order Barak Ravid to announce that a deal is imminent; 4) Bomb again; 5) Back to #1.
