The Explosion of Jew-Hate in Canada

[George K]

Very long piece - citing example after example, how the police can't keep up, and the politicians encourage it.

tl/dr, is it all from the left, or some right, or horseshoe theory?

I understand the all-sides-are-equal memes, I'm just curious what that piece has to say about it.

‘All-sides-are-equal’

That’s not what venn diagrams communicate.

[Horace]

Generally when people say "both sides are equal", they are talking about a specific behavior of both sides, in which they are equal. Which is what Venn diagrams communicate. An aspect of different things in which those different things are equal.

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson today. Not as valuable as if we'd read the piece I had a question about, but valuable.

You’re simply wrong. Venn diagrams communicate shared properties, but nothing quantitative.

Do you think the author of the above is of the belief that the number of far right people and the number of far left people are both exactly equal to the number of militant muslims?

I'm sorry. I was thinking that maybe your meme contribution was in response to my question about the relative quantities of anecdotes in the piece. Rather, my question made you think of a different question, to which your response was the meme. The meme was meant to indicate that there is a non-zero quantity of anti-semitism in the three categories listed in the Venn.

Thank you for educating me about what Venn diagrams are.

[jon-nyc]

You’re welcome. Education is extremely important.

I was also too lazy to read it. ChatGPT wasn’t.

The article primarily highlights incidents of antisemitism tied to left-wing ideologies. Many examples involve “pro-Palestinian” demonstrations, academic declarations, and activist movements characterized by progressive or anti-colonial rhetoric. It also criticizes the silence or complicity of “social justice” groups traditionally associated with the left. While the piece may mention antisemitism from other sources, its main focus is on left-wing environments in Canada.

There’s good people on all three sides.

I love being the center of attention
