It’s just another attempt to deliberately confuse people.
The right did it when we went after Milo Yiannopoulos, claiming that we were only targeting him because he was a gay Jew (which was very obviously not the reason). Some rightist dullard several years ago said that an interviewer only rolled his eyes at her because he was sexist. Now we’re seeing the right misportray our anticolonialism as ‘antisemitic’ and coming up with these horseshit reinterpretations of our very simple demands.
I think that they know that these are all bold-faced lies. They tell them in hopes of confusing innocent people who may be unacquainted with the contexts. Anybody with a fully functional brain can tell that calling a cissexist bore a ‘heinous loser’ is very obviously not an example of misogyny, but the context gets lost in the game of telephone that anticommunists love playing.

sartre on antisemites
Kind of curious, how do we all deal with these snakes when they try their semantic mind games?
Usually my whole thing just telling them “don’t play dumb” (something that has gotten me banned before lol.)
