        it’s more common to portray jews as rats. like i get where you’re coming from, but i think they picked what they picked to avoid the antisemitic dog whistle. that’s just my read though as a dude with curly hair, a big nose, and sensitivity to “is this person hating me for my jewish ancestry”

            for sure. that’s like… kind of a genuine challenge with looking for and understanding antisemitism is that how it presents itself changes through the eras. but in our current age, i think people are more likely to associate pigs with capitalism and anti-jewishness than with jews. like. i think it’s important and good that we’re having these conversations so we can understand the current status of anti semitism especially as israeli backed organizations water down these things by applying the term antisemitism to too many things.

            and as you say, there’s a major aspect of regionality. antisemitism looks different depending on the place
