repeat after me: đź‘Ź most đź‘Ź liberals đź‘Ź have đź‘Ź been đź‘Ź societally đź‘Ź bred đź‘Ź to đź‘Ź have đź‘Ź many đź‘Ź antisemitic đź‘Ź tendencies đź‘Ź and đź‘Ź need đź‘Ź to đź‘Ź acknowledge đź‘Ź these đź‘Ź shortcomings đź‘Ź
What are these tendencies? genuinely asking so that I can actively stop myself from being antisemiticÂ
I’m really glad you asked - not many people would be willing to do that. I wrote this post specifically about a lot of anti-semitic/anti-zionist things I’ve seen on Tumblr recently. Once such example is the common assumption that “Israel is evil” which it isn’t. There is such a fierce liberal anti-Israel bias that I’ve experienced a lot of left wing democratic spaces, which I am a part of, be anti-semitic.Â
The thing is, a lot of these tendencies vary from person to person. I’ll do a quick bullet list below of things I’ve noticed in a lot of gentiles I know, but this is by know means a complete list:
The belief that there is enough Jewish representation in the media and that Jews are wrong to want more
This also applies to all aspects of representation - political, etc.
The assumption that all Jews are white, or that even white passing Jews are fully white.Â
Assuming there’s a Jewish look “but you don’t look Jewish”/ “Oh i could tell you look Jewish”
“Well of course you thought that, you’re Jewish”
Assuming all Jews are well off financially
Holocaust Jokes
Comparing every bad politician to Hitler/Comparing every crime committed by a nation to Nazi Germany
A lot of the way to deal with these tendencies is to be aware. When you say something think to yourself “could that have been a microagression?” if someone who is Jewish calls you out, listen to them.
Nearly all of my goyim friends, at one point or another, have presented these socially ingrained tendencies, but they always adapt when I mention them, and that’s what matters the most, making positive changes.
