    I got a warning on reddit a couple days ago for suggesting Deni Avdija (NBA player) is getting a superstar whistle this season because he is Israeli.

    They removed my comment and threatened me with a ban for promoting violence when all I said was “It’s because he’s Israeli.” In response to the OPs question.

    I was mostly joking, but it kinda seems like they are already doing what this guy is saying they should do.

    So…the Jews want to control the media…? Man, they’re really trying to live up to some of those old stereotypes.

      Not Jews but Zionists specifically, including Christian Zionists. Zionists have had siginficant control over US media for a very long time but when you state the obvious people call it the antisemitic trope because they have been conditioned to do so. They were pretty open about why they bought TikTok

    And remember his definition of anti-Semitism includes accurately reporting the activities of Israelis in Gaza.

    Only antisemitism? Not other forms of racism?

    I bet the only form of “antisemitism” this is about, is criticism of genocide.

    The First Amendment is already gone. Have you seen what happens to people who criticize the regime? The US is cooked, fam.

      First Amendment was always a polite fiction of the regime. Americans get to pretend they have it until they upset someone with actual power.

      But you’re always free to run scams, to slander the weak and vulnerable, and to rally bigots into a lynch mob. So the idea of Free Speech remains valuable to demagogues and unscrupulous marketing goons alike.
