@aral what was the toot in question?

@aral personal language model?

@evan a corrolary to "it's difficult to get someone to understand something if their livelihood depends on not understanding it"?

@evan To be fair, this went both ways (albeit to a lesser degree). Can you imagine Italy without tomatoes, or eastern Europe without potatoes? Not to mention all the exchanges that happened before the age of sail.

@sjuvonen @inthehands @jakelazaroff @raf @jdp23 @mekkaokereke Perhaps you should read the paper rather than attempting to dunk on people.

"To the extent that liberals seek to identify with the oppressed over the oppressor and believe that Israel is an oppressor, they might hold negative attitudes toward Jews, who they associate with the oppressor."

@sjuvonen @inthehands @jakelazaroff @raf @jdp23 @mekkaokereke

Yes, because of the way the questions are framed. If you don't consider being anti-Israel antisemitic then of course it won't register as antisemitism.

@sjuvonen @inthehands @jakelazaroff @raf @jdp23 @mekkaokereke Why do you think I brought up "from the river to the sea"? Your willingness to wipe a country off the map doesn't make such an action acceptable, regardless of how much you may consider your beliefs righteous.

@inthehands @jakelazaroff @raf @jdp23 @mekkaokereke That's a bit of a straw man. Discourse I've seen on the left is generally along the lines of "from the river to the sea" and other suggestions of Israel being illegitimate, rather than directly attacking Jewish people.

@evan Is there a "don't know / don't care" option?
