For there to be a parallel in that specific case, that community would’ve had to have had the power to prosecute and enforce judgments against any organisation that published blood libels.

They didn’t, so it isn’t.


I seriously do not.


“Othering” has moved from race to political viewpoint, but the human tendency to exclude others from discourse/commerce/society is still alive and well.


>“Othering” has moved from race to political viewpoint

No it hasn't. People have been othered for either reason for millennia, and continue to be so. This is probably one of the safest eras for having an unpopular political view in the US. For example, try being accused of holding communist views during most of the 20th century.


Lol. Are you for real? Try expressing any concerns about the excesses of the trans activists or concerns about the demographic replacement of europeans. People who do that wish they were treated like communists in the 50s!


>Try expressing any concerns about the excesses of the trans activists or concerns about the demographic replacement of europeans

People do this all the time. If their biggest complaint is being banned from privately owned social media companies, then they have it much better than the communists or anarchists of the past.


Do you consider it othering based on political viewpoint when us companies block European access for gdpr reasons?


While I think the hate of Texas is unusual in this thread, this is an awful comparison. Please don't use comparisons that trivialize the horrors of the Holocaust.
