A columnist and author lashed out at social media users who made her life “hell” after her eyebrow-raising take on anti-Semitism.
The OneZero columnist known as Lux Alptraum unloaded on the “bunch of dumb dumbs” who reacted to her tone-deaf explanation of “the difference between right and left anti-Semitism.”
After claiming that “the right just straight up hates Jews,” she noted in a tweet over the weekend that the left’s hatred is more complex, pointing to “Jewish marginalization” and “participation in the ruling class.”
To me, the difference between right and left anti-Semitism is that the right just straight up hates Jews while the left is critical of Jewish participation in the ruling class without critical analysis of how the long history Jewish marginalization complicates that participation.

The writer called out her critics and the lack of “awareness” in following tweets, doubling down that her point was that ” left wing anti-Semitism is *more* about hating banks/landlords/whatever.”
Oh, since it looks like a bunch of dumb dumbs have found this tweet: my point is that left wing anti-Semitism is *more* about hating banks/landlords/whatever and not actually having any nuanced read or awareness of why Jews have historically wound up in those fields.

But apparently the part about “landlords” seemed to be confusing as she had to offer another explanation.
No I am not saying that Jews are controlling the world I am explaining why shittalking landlords can come across as anti-Semitic

She went on to call out the “audience with zero reading comprehension” and continued to blame others, and not her tweets, for the backlash.
Love to tweet for an audience with zero reading comprehension and a critical thinking ability easily rivaled by that of my toddler niece

The author of “Faking It: The Lies Women Tell about Sex” continued to unload in the anti-Semitic thread, while denouncing others for calling her out as anti-Semitic.
Somehow she declared that the “bad faith engagement” caused her to mute the conversations.
Muting this due to bad faith engagement

Yet she went on to attack those people who were calling out her tweets.
Hey dipshits MY PURPOSE WAS NOT TO JUSTIFY ANY ANTI-SEMITISM BUT TO CALL IT OUT ON THE LEFT WING. ALL ANTI-SEMITISM IS ANTI-SEMITISM, FUCK NUTS.
That would, in fact, be why I called both lines of thinking *anti-Semitism*.

Honestly it’s just wild that saying there is anti-Semitism on the left is somehow a… denial of left anti-Semitism?

I’m going to be fine I’m just really annoyed that — just like with the last dog pile! — a bunch of people with poor reading comprehension have decided to make my life hell.

But the rant left more Twitter users convinced that Lux Alptraum’s word salad was just evidence of the rake she had stepped on.
“My hate is superior to the hate of others, and you’re a big kaka-poopie head if you disagree” is quite the hot take. Peak 2019 SJW, in fact. pic.twitter.com/oG4gxjT4EG

“Oh, but I explained how my bigotry is better than there bigotry, if you don’t get it, it’s because you’re stupid.”
Nice take, apologist for leftist hate.

Antisemitism from the left is covered in a veneer of culture and sophistication, so it’s somehow ok??

I’m sure that will be a comfort to the victims, knowing that if their oppression came from the left then at least their oppressors were nuanced in their irrational hatred.

Leftie word salads like this are used to make people think they’re smart when basically all that’s happening upstairs are more jumbles of injected SJW catchphrases that were learned from other propagandists who were as stupid and/or just Evil.

Sometimes it’s best to keep your opinion to yourself.
This was one of those times. ?
