Is there any other group aside from Jews whom the left routinely asks to test their claims of bigotry against allegations they are "weaponizing" it?
My position is all claims of bigotry should be tested against an objective standard (which exists!) I think "believe all X..."
...is corrosive. On the other hand, the term "weaponize" seems to me to be problematic, insinuating automatic bad faith. Can someone be mistaken and making a claim of feeling targeted in good faith simultaneously? Yes! The term "weaponized" is itself corrosive...but...
...whereas the notion a minority is manipulating bigotry to its benefit proliferates on the right against an array of minorities (including Jews) it appears on the left to be used only against Jews. End of rant.
