Do you condone or condemn the use of the term by… goys 😂

I understand the tentativeness to use the term but I’ve yet to see a fully articulated argument for it being fascist/reactionary ect.

Personally choosing to avoid it is sensible but denouncing other people without being able to establish why its wrong is… questionable.

Unlike other slurs like the n word, there isnt an established consensus on it. I would understand not giving a more sophisticated explanation for the denouncing of the use of the n word by a white person because its well established why its a slur. But goy is a different circumstance given its only recent rise in the western lexicon. “Me no like”, “4chan uses it” doesn’t hold water.

All I’ve really heard is reactionaries use it therefore you cant. Reactionaries also use Liberal, and woke. But obviously such terms are perfectly acceptable. (Woke as in a radlib ect).

Surely Palestinians, Muslims, ect are permissed, who is not?

How does it compare to technically ableist language like idiot, moron ect. I don’t see people policing such language at any level comparable to goy.

IMO the increase in the use of the word is net good and basically irrelevant. Making it into a bigger issue is counterproductive.

What can I say… I’m just a goy after all.

If Palestinians read this post I’m sure they’d be happy to hear that the imperial core is taking on the important issues like tone policing, and an examination of language fringe, irrelevant groypers use😍. /s

    you got your comment removed bc i did nothing wrong and you came at me bringing up stupid shit from a separate platform. and i do have a problem with you bc u fucked with me and brought up random shit that happened months ago, put words in my mouth, took my comments out of context AND to top it all off you completely misinterpreted my original post asking about the language of NEO NAZIS in particular. not of the general public, not of the palestinians.

    if u dont have anything personal with me then why make it personal by bringing up so much crap. its clearly personal because you remember so much about me while i do not know you at all

      Smh

      “its clearly personal because you remember so much about me while i do not know you at all”

      “brought up random shit that happened months ago, put words in my mouth, took my comments out of context”

      This is contradicting. I didn’t “remember” anything I went and found our dms that you initiated so I could accurately recount the context and what was said verbatim. The complete opposite of putting words of putting words in your mouth.

      Not only that but you’ve been the only one to make personal judgements here. And outright lied about our interaction on reddit.

      "its not an ”ig model” its a daniela from katseye… i explained this to u the first time u accused me of having a ”thirst trap” as a profile photo. why are you so worked up over my fucking daniela profile pic? why is a woman existing considered a thirst trap to you? "

      You never explained who your PFP was that’s a fabrication.

      Made it personal by saying I have a “problem with women just existing” which falls apart upon examining the context. Yet I’m somehow the the one leaving context out. I have no issue with that woman or the photo.

      “bringing up random shit from month ago”. Aren’t you doing the same by mentioning that i called it a “thirst trap” devoid of any context.

      In all of my replies I’ve at least put in some effort instead of just saying what sounds best.

      Infact i quoted myself in full calling you a “freak” which i easily could’ve ommitted. I’ve been good faith in representing what happened accurately even when it made me look bad.

      Fine I’m wrong, sexist and reactionary, but at least I’m honest.
