   its shabbat but i need to get this off my chest before i chill a bit.
   
   it is a clear sign of a society in decline when blatant antisemitism is both normalized, ignored and at times casually excused across the world.
   
   i dont know if people realize this but a pandora's box has been opened that is nearly impossible to close. you have given fascists power that they will take as far as they possibly can.
   
   this is a direct warning to the antisemites of the fediverse and the world, especially those engaging in antisemitism whilst being in marginalized communities of their own.
   
   you are not punching up. you are not standing against a powerful group of people. you are not standing against your oppressors. you are actually actively giving your oppressors power.
   
   this does not end with jews. it never does. remember that, especially when you ignore or question jews who attempt to point out antisemitism when they see it.

     people on the fediverse are extraordinary antisemitic in casual circles, even outside of the nazi circles. even some of the people who have built pieces of this network themselves have demonstrated themselves on numerous occasions that they have a direct bias against jews. even large instances that are explicitly not on the nazi side of the fediverse on here are ran by antisemites whether they are willing to admit it or not.
     
     i see antisemitism on my feed constantly and just have to learn how to ignore it and stay aware of when to fight my battles. yes, even good meaning people here engage in antisemitism unknowingly. i live with it and only engage or educate when i feel it is worth my time.
     
     but the fediverse isnt an isolated place with this either. its the entire internet. its everywhere. over the past few years i have seen antisemitic conspiracy theories and dogwhistles that were normally confined to the gutters of the internet spread out into the mainstream. even in mainstream politics you have nazi talking points becoming common.

     we are not your enemies. fascists have continuously tried to break unity and allyship from jews in left wing movements for decades for a reason. their efforts are working, both on the fediverse and beyond.
