Well, you can say they shouldn’t be singled out for special treatment, but


The truth is, groups are. I think you’re putting the cart before the horse. First, we have to do away with the oppressor/victim group binary worldview. I think he’s 100% right about the reasons Jews have become targets now. You say the right approach is to let them be targets, but everyone else should be too.

First imperative is to apply these rules, whatever we think they should be, equally. If you want a very broad definition of speech amounting to unacceptable harassment, fine (if you’re not the govt), but apply them consistently. This to me is the primary failure of those U presidents.

First, get rid of this black and white, simplistic, 0 sum, oppressor vs oppressed worldview. Only after we do that can we apply any of these social rules consistently and rationally.
