She isn’t antisemitic because she believed those TikToks, she believed those TikToks because she’s antisemitic. You can try sending her some stuff about antisemitism and bigotry. Unfortunately, sometimes educating people doesn’t help and they’ll just stay bigots. 1 reply
There's nothing long to tell but it's to stop caring.
Sounds counter-intuitive but really why appeal to a bunch of ignorant assholes, others who face or have experienced mistreatment will only focus on being emotionally charged.
For situations you're describing, not physical attacks or assaults though I of the understanding of how ignorance and fea...... 1 reply
Im a mixed kid who got adopted into a white household and the amount of unconscious racist comments they tell me is crazy. It’s so draining to be around white people 24/7 weather it be at school or at home, and either get racist derogatory comments from my parents, or racist comments passed off as jokes by my friends. Im tired of having to argue ...... 1 reply
Its probably late to ask this but my friend started falling down an antisemitic rabit hole in tiktok, at first it was some comment about hitler and I didn't think too much about it bc she really likes history but then she went full on like the conspiracy route and all, and I told her "you know you're repeating the same nazi discourse from ww2?" and she got super upset and cocky saying that I should know about it and "it must be nice to stay ignorant of the reality of the world" and honestly I was tired of all that and just stopped responding her messages altogether.

You can't change your race, friend. But those people can change their way of thinking. Anyway, it's not your responsibility; the point is that you should always stay true to yourself ! 1 reply
You personally can’t do anything except maintain your own standards, call people out, make it awkward. Feeling defeat won’t stop anything but even a small act such as leaving a rational comment can help you feel better. I’m so sorry you have to go through this. ️ 1 reply
you can't always stop yourself from worrying about how other people perceive you, especially when it's relevant to your general well-being and safety, but you can refocus your thoughts and energy. self-actualize! who do you want to be in the world, and how do you get there?
you know who you are better than the people who make assumptions (and if yo...... 1 reply
Im so jealous of the generations that got to live their late teens/early 20s in a semi peaceful society bc what the actual fuck you mean this bullshit keeps happening when its my turn reply
if im honest you’ve just got to stop thinking about it, while it sounds harsh you’ve just got to wake up one day and essentially ‘get over it’ more in the media / social aspects of racism. You’ll come to a realisation how the monetisation of many platforms now provides an easy way for grifters to profit and majority of the times they’re...... 2 reply
I'm so scared. I caught covid 2 times and made it out but this idk if I will and the cherry on top it's from fucking rodent. My fuckass house is kinda infested with them rn.

'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
