    The horseshoe theory holds true in many cases. Far ends of the spectrum have more in common with eachother than they do with the people on the middle. Antisemitism is a good example of something you find in both extremes. Calls for violence is another example.

      False premise… not wanting Palestinian babies to be slaughtered en masse is not anti-Semitism. Fuck that.

      There isn’t a far right and “far left” equivalency - one side are fascists and the other are anti fascists. Opposition of objective evil is NOT an extreme, it’s a baseline position.

      Quiet propaganda, like this comment, did a lot to bring our broken society to this point.

      You know the Palestinians, who are currently being genocided with American weapons and money, are semites right?

                  But you say the “far left” “hates” Jews.

                  The far left hates Israel. The far left hates zionists. The far left does not hate jews.

                  Meanwhile the far right are literally Nazis marching around with swastikas.

                  But yeah they’re totally the same 🙄 you’re really great at playing dumb.

                    No, I’m saying you’ll find antisemites on both the far left and the far right - not that everyone on the far left hates Jews. Not everyone on the far right does either.

                    If you’re going to argue that there are no antisemites on the far left whatsoever, then there’s nothing to discuss here.
