"Frequently target muslims and jews in their posts" (another unfounded assertion from the data guys)
I don't call myself a tankie, I don't call myself anything other than leftist/socialist...but I've seriously never seen any of that here or on the left wing subreddits. I wish they would show the data on the Antisemitic or Islamophobic posts in these tankie spaces. They have the charts and graphs for every other less egregious claim.
I haven't looked at their methodology but I'm gonna guess that expressing doubt over a genocide in Xinjiang qualifies as Islamophobic, and anti-Zionism qualifies as antisemitic. I have no idea. One time I got called antisemitic on Twitter in 2020 because I said Chabad people in NYC should probably stop having those weddings where 500 people show up because there's a pandemic and no one at those things wears a mask.
If you can't differentiate a right wing criticism of Israel from a left wing one your data isn't worth the bits and bytes used to make it. If you think we criticize isntreal more than 4chan you're out of your goddamn mind
