I'm not going to comment on the downvotes as that would be boring. Instead, I would like to ask for feedback on my comment above.
What specifically do people disagree with?

- lowkey 3y agoI'm sorry, are you now accusing ME of being anti-semetic? That's rich.

- noptd 3y agoThis is low even by Reddit standards. Please keep to the HN guidelines and stop reposting that article and claim which has been debunked multiple times in this comment section - it contributes nothing to the conversation.
- Dig1t 3y agoIt's clear you're arguing in bad faith here, just keep using the word antisemite, racist, bigot, etc and the people you disagree with won't be allowed to speak anymore. These words are losing their meaning. Instead of calling the person names, which I'm pretty sure is against the rules on this site, why not just respond to what GP said? They posted a reasonable response with sources.
- phito 3y agoPlease keep these unproductive inflammatory comments on Reddit, they have no place here.
- dang 3y agoYou can't attack another user like this here, regardless of how wrong they are or you feel they are. Instead, please make your substantive points thoughtfully. We've had to warn you about this at least once before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30591654 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30591654). We have to ban accounts that keep doing this. I don't want to ban you, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- Dig1t 3y agoCalling someone antisemitic is a great tactic to shut down your opponent and get them to stop talking. Here's RFK's response to this article: https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/16802273225096355 https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/16802273225096355... >I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews.
- tptacek 3y agoIt's also a fine response to people promoting antisemitism. He can say whatever he'd like now! We have video of what he did say. You can disagree that what he said was antisemitic on its own terms, but I don't think at this point you can reasonably demand people avoid the opposite conclusion. The ship has sailed on this debate.
- idontwantthis 3y agoThat's the point.
- howinteresting 3y agoWhy should I care about his response to being called out and not what he said in the original video? At best this is a rather extreme motte and bailey, which is often a sign of dishonesty.
