I made that exact statement in another thread on Lemmy before his video was even out, and it is the most obvious thing to point out so I doubt I was the first to do so either. And the way you phrase it makes it sound like you disagree with the argument. Do you consider pepe to be a dog whistle for racism? Because I think not even a small percentage of conspiracy theorists seriously do that. Or maybe you just want to argue with someone?

I think every youtuber has talked about this now, not just Asmongold.

I haven't downplayed death threats. It was a conversation where someome falsely alleged that someone else had received death threats, which had no evidence, and the person in question never even claimed they had received any.

The rest is just me calling out misinformation about black myth wukong (the sexism allegations that turned out to be mistranslations) and about the harassment campaing against Sweet Baby Inc, bias in gaming journalism, etc.

I've never taken a specific political stance in any of their conversations. I just am against misinformation and censorship and call them out when they happen.

The reason I'm against what your post is about, is because ADL were extremely dishonest in their findings, and I think they're biased or politically motivated to implement restrictions that require users to give up more private information about themselves, or not be allowed free speech.

And no, I didn't break any rules either. Every ban I've faced have all been completely unjustified, which is why I've blocked most of the communities I've been banned on. It's like being banned from hexbear and you saying that makes me deserve to get my account removed. The little information you get out of that modlog only shows the mods being biased.

And you would know about biased mods, seeing as you yourself have been banned and then called out after making a thread about it. It isn't all black and white. I'm not interested in who was right in that post, you or the mod, but you get my point.

ADL says steam was unsafe after stating that pepe the frog is an extremist symbol to more than double the number of cases found.

Remove the meme, and take into consideration the number of users, 0.1% of users have used some form of extreme symbol or statement. That is a lower ratio of extremism than what Lemmy has.

This is a reach for control and surveillance. Nothing else.

Fuck ADL.

What criticism? Your post literally is "haha, look at sad white people after they get what's coming to them"

And your entire joke only works if "all of white people" was one single entity, but they're not. A white person is not responsible for other white people.

And why should that one white person just shut up and take the punches for something they're not responsible for?

But I will read CRT and get back to you one day. If it is based on science as you say, it should offer an explanation to why hate only is acceptable when it is directed at someone with a system advantage they didn't ask for.

My definition is the number 1 definition on the dictionary you linked.

And here's how definitions work:

If you fall under only a single of the definitions, you are as defined. I.e. maybe you don't have a systemic advantage over me, (neither do I over you, because I don't live in the US and am a racial minority in the country I live in), you are still racist under the other just as valid definitions. They're not outdated definitions, they're official and still very much valid definitions that apply to you, a racist.

I am not helping the right one bit, you are radicalizing the right by spreading hate against people who had nothing to do with building the system, or had anything to do with slavery. Why would anyone listen to a raging lunatic calling them all sorts of slurs? They'll think "the fuck is wrong this person?"

You are so blinded by hate, and so motivated to "get back at the oppressors" you would attack an entire race over it. Go outside.

You are so cherrypicking definitions, you think you're cute.

a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race also : behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : racial discrimination or prejudice

Hey, that sounds just like you.

Nice racism, bro. The literal dictionary definition of racism includes against white people. Whether the target is a marginalized group is not relevant whatsoever.

You just wants to be racist but also think you are morally right to be so, and posts like yours only serve the right-wing. Kindly remove your bigot self from Lemmy.

Or, get this, every white person in this meme is a different person, and the last one is completely unrelated to the above ones.

The last white person has original sin because other white people were racist pieces of shits.

How about we stop fighting racism with racism, and instead try to unite against the elites?

Roger that!
