Jordan Peterson is bitching about anti-semitism again

quote:

He was griping a few weeks ago at Elon

Everything I've seen him say about Elon Musk has been positive.

But why is anti-semitism so bad but it's open season to hate on all other religions?

---

We know the answer but we're not allowed to say it out loud.

Remember that Jews are an ethnicity AND a religion. When one is hating on Jews, most take it less as hating on the specific religious practices and more on hating the ethnic group that religion largely is made up of. Jews are very sensitive to that sort of thing because 2/3 of them were massacred in living memory.

I will never forget being a child at a passover seder when we had a guest, an old man one year. I noticed there was something splotchy on his wrist, I thought maybe he had been playing with markers or a pen had burst on there and asked him what it was. He said very calmly and matter-of-factly (though trying to hide the pain and trauma not to upset a child) that it was what was left of his numbers. It wasn't until later that my parents explained that he had been a holocaust survivor who had been liberated from a death camp by American soldiers. Those numbers were tattooed on his wrist by the nazi prison guards as an identifier. He was the only member of his family to survive the camps.

While I think the media and politicians often use cries of anti-Semitism; much like they use cries of racism, trans-phobia, homophobia, misogyny, etc; as a smokescreen to redirect criticism, actual anti-Semitism is a real thing that definitely shouldn't be actively fostered and should be actively shamed. Saying that Jews run the banks and the media is really not anti-Semitism, imo, because it's barely even a slight exaggeration. It's just literal facts.

I’m sure the stress of knowing all the internet bitches will be starting threads if he doesn’t get every word prefect to each of their world views is difficult on emotions.

No, they aren't. I have pointed this out numerous times. Where are they classified as an ethnicity. You have black Jews, Asian Jews, Indian Jews, etc

I have provided tons of links from a ton of articles pointing out this ridiculousness.

Sure its real but it is overused to foster a victim class much like racism is.

Again, it's not anti-semitism to say Jews control certain sectors of society.

No, Jews are an ethnicity. It has nothing to do with religion. Black Jews, Asian Jews and Indian Jews are simply members of a church. Jews are an ethnic group and many of them are atheists.
My Jewish grandmother was a Catholic because my grandfather was Catholic and he wanted his 7 children raised Catholic.

He may very well have Jewish ancestry. He kinda looks like one.

Peterson isn't political despite how it seems. It takes a while for him to come to terms with things because of the way he views them. See the covid vaccine stuff that he's turned around on.

What's mass verification have to do with antisemitism?


I don't get it.
