    Elevating a view point that is based on ignorance, vibes-based understanding of politics and economy, and–let’s be frank–lies with the express purpose of silencing dissenting opinions is, in fact, not respecting everyone’s experience. Sometimes certain voices need to shut the fuck up and listen to other’s experiences because what they believe to be true is just something absorbed through passive ideological osmosis.

    You also speak as if I don’t frequently experience at least mild antisemitism when I express this perspective. I do, depending largely on where I am. A lot of people don’t care about bandera nazis in Ukraine currently, so pointing to this nazi history tends to spark a bad response.

      I disagree and you are countering your own point by saying your experience is more valid than his.

      Describing your experience or even that of your ancestors without spewing hate or insults is ok in my book and it’s human nature to arrive at different conclusions.

      I really didn’t mean my comment to get into specifics of current situation in Ukraine and you can choose not to believe my experience. I experienced zero antisemitism in recent encounter with group you call nazis, currently defending their own country, with a very prominently displayed star of David and better russian than Ukrainian. Can’t say the same thing about the time my family left.
