it's nonetheless couched in the plausible deniability of just asking questions. You are trying to split hairs to make it so this one tweet places the trans genocide on a different level and that is simply motivated reasoning on your part.

He's also an anomaly. As far as I know there hasn't been a single celebrity since WW2 who''s been willing to torpedo their career and reputation by publicly going mask off antisemite. The right as a whole is more openly anti-trans than they are antisemitic.
damn you have a**** memory. Even I remember Mel Gibson.

Either way I agree the Jews are largely treated way more sensitively cause of the Holocaust. But that only means that people are more likely to suppress and conceal antisemitism, not that it's less likely to crop up in a genocidal fashion. Part of the allure is the conspiratorial angle of the Jews controlling the media and everything else so the " you can't talk about this" vibe actually makes antisemitism more appealing, not less.
