    Xi Streisand-ed it hell and back

    This doesn’t make any sense.

    The same way calling Bibi a murderer isn’t antisemitic

    I’ve heard from quite a few ranking Democrats that calling Bibi a murder is antisemitic.

    Government leaders are not a protected class/race, sorry.

    Why do westerners insist in finding excuses to inject racist caricatures into a discussion about civil rights? I simply don’t understand why shouting “Look at Netanyahu, the greedy hook-nosed jew holding a bag of gold!” benefits anyone in any way. It just seems like 4chan levels of racism-for-racism’s-sake.

    Are all liberals this desperate to spew slurs or is it just the terminally online ones?

      You don’t know the Streisand effect? Look it up. The meme started as a joke on a Chinese forum and spread on its own, then Xi started forbidding its use, which riled people up popularizing the meme even more. It’s a clear case of the Streisand effect.

      Don’t care what some Democrats do. I’m not American and my statement stands.

      It’s not racist tho??? The Bibi reference you used explicitly calls him a Jew and uses a known Jew caricature, it’s completely different from a meme originating in China based on the low resblance both in posture and figure, nothing to do with skin colour.

      Yeah no, this is clear bait. Have a good day.
