I don't know what to tell you. I watch "right wing content" exclusively and not even I got "exterminate the jews" level content. Though I see plenty of commentary about day to day beliefs by academia that calls for my race to be wiped out and discriminated against. I'd say the media is playing both sides except you all can't deny that there is systemic discrimination against white people in multiple countries' law books right now, in 2023.

"I haven't seen any Antisemitism at all but white people are indeed being genocided," is a pretty hot take.

  I thought the other one was even more odd: "Oh Youtube keeps promoting right-wing, eradicate the Jews content". But, to be fair, I didn't say I don't see antisemitic content. That for sure pops up once in a while in very "muted" language. I've also seen a rising trend for the traditional values of Jewish people to be admired on the right/conservative side, so there is that.

Academics are not calling for genocide dude. If you can point to even one non right wing academic figure that calls for the genocide of any race of people, I’ll donate $100 to Doctors Without Borders that moment.

Look, I agree these things aren't straight out "hey lets go out and gas white people" (Well one of them is). But the pattern is disturbing, and the media coverage is even more disturbing because they're (I would argue) hiding the level of this stuff, thus preventing us from having the conversation. Why do conservatives feel threatened, this is just Affirmative Action and Inclusion (such orwellian terms that hide their discrimination), so why do you feel that way unless you're secretly racist? Well, it's because there is a sustained, and secretly promoted hatred of white people and it needs to be brought to light. As an example, the Wikipedia page on Brittney Coopers at Rutgers University. No mention of this pretty-notable controversy about her racist comments. Probably edited for months after the story broke until people lost interest dealing with the Wikipedia rules.

> I'd say the media is playing both sides except you all can't deny that there is systemic discrimination against white people in multiple countries' law books right now, in 2023. Sure I can. Many of the laws cited as "discrimination against white people" in North America and Europe are either things like affirmative action or laws to the effect of "don't be a dick to minorities". As a white guy I've never felt disadvantaged by such laws, but maybe I'm just made of sterner stuff than people that claim to represent "western values" and prattle on about how weak men are these days.

  The older I get, the less "turn the other cheek" I feel like being towards bullies, and that's what this is, bullying. I want to leave a fair and equitable world for my (white) children, not one filled with hatred and racism. And to answer your point, I say this in the context of an african country where white people are a minority and yet still discriminated against with laws passed by a "democratic" government. Of course, it's all under the guise of "Affirmative Action" and "Black Economic Empowerment", giving it that "noble" aura of "fairness". Meanwhile the country burns as the laws enrich the elite, keep the black people poor, make the white people poorer, and ultimately cause everyone to blame everyone else.
