Is it true that people misuse the word "racist"/"Anti-Semite" /"bigot" to shut down criticism?

Yes and it happens left right up down middle. No single group is immune to it.

Yes, all the time. People will call you a "fascist", "racist" simply for wanting laws to be enforced, e.g illegal immigrants to be deported.
oh wow. a new instance to block.
at least you're wearing your cult on your sleeve now.

what's up with the "clear things up" phrase?, is this site run by bots?
It’s fun to be silly and the fediverse has a bit of a “ministry of silly walks” vibe to it. I hope that helps clear things up.

Imagine being this mad about people simply wanting to make this country better.
Yeah sure just live in your social bubble and keep calling everyone you don't like a fascist. Perfect strategy, worked so well for the liberals recently. -
I agree, if you mean: We should be able to criticize individuals for their own actions.
Not entire groups of people based on generalizations.
Well, Israel is a country, not a group of people, nor is it explicitly a religion, despite having an official state religion.
To wit: If criticizing Israel is antisemitism, then is a criticism of Poland seen as anti-catholic? Are criticisms of Somalia seen as anti-Muslim? Denmark/Anti-Lutheran, Thailand/anti-buddhism, Turkey/anti-atheist?
The last one is a bit of a stretch, since Turkey is merely officially secular, and not explicitly atheist, but my point is that for the above named pairings, criticism of the state isn’t considered to be attacks against the religion.It’s a bit silly to have an exception for just the one country, isn’t it?

Did you just prove his point..?

How do you block an instance?
