Therefore, what, in your opinon would these 99% of people you know, who define this as bigotry, tell you about the relative levels of bigotry that exist in the social construct of Jewishness, compared with other such social constructs of which we all must form some part.
Probably 90%+ of the people I know are non/anti-Zionists. I certainly see/greet/know some people who have support and/or concern for the People of Israel and hence, their State. That said, they are all liberal/progressive types and I can't imagine the vast majority saying anything Islamophobic/anti-Arab/anti-Palestinian.
Quite the Opposite.
Does this mean that you believe youre friends would say that the Jewish social construct is more bigoted, or less bigoted, or the same as other social constructs of which we all must form a part.
Thats what I was wondering?
Most everybody I know clearly identifies with principles of anti-Racism and I doubt they would say that Jewish ethnocentrism is worse than any other. Most all though, would say that if Jewish identify reinforces White Supremacy, Islamophobia, anti-Arab Racism etc. in any way, that is a
big problem...
.
OK AD, So you believe its the roughly the same.
Now, without changing the name of what were discussing here, Would I be right in assuming that all Jewish people form some part of the Social construct of Jewishness?
I would surely be stupid if I didnt, because any such kind of exlusion would be, well - stupid.
So my best adivice to anyone in a social construct who wishes to end bigotry (which I of course assume you do), would be to deal with the biggest culprits of the bigotry within their own particular social construct. Try and point out to them, why what they are doing to this planet and our civilisation in general, isnt a particularly nice thing.
In my personal experience, and from a long time looking at this stuff, the biggest bigots are usually the rich and powerful.
The rich and poweful couldnt give a flying fuck about me or you or anyone else.
Not to mention the earth
Now to me thats the very worst kind of bigotry, only supersized.
Furthermore, I believe they intentionally and exponentially perpetrate the bigotry that exists amongst all the rest of us.
Name and shame works. ( Do the research first of course)
I dont know which social construct I fall into , though I consider myself part of the general human social construct, But if you can give me your own definition, and I can subsequently identify fellow members of my particular structure(s), I'll be naming and shaming the real problems to the bigorry within my particular construct, in quick time where neccesary, especially if I havent already done so.
Is that a fair comment?
Perhaps we can even define this particular social construct, where the most bigoted in the worst kind of way hang out together.
I know for sure that they do hang out when time allows, because there's a lot of photographic evidence to prove it,
