“Anger continued on past its usefulness becomes unjust, then dangerous… It fuels not positive activism but regression, obsession, vengeance, self-righteousness. Corrosive, it feeds off itself, destroying its host in the process.”

This!!!!
This happens to us Jews as well.
And it's worse (at least to me) when it's an admin of an instance who has a "no bigotry" policy.
And even worse than that when they say "That's not antisemitic", saying that Jews don't have agency of what is and isn't hate speech.
And even worse when they make a claim of weaponized antisemitism, ie they say that the claim of antisemitism is only there to silence them. It's a way to silence minority voices.
Thank you for bringing this up. It's so important to hear- whether it's white/black, Jewish/gentile, trans/cis, people who are not of the minority or marginalized group need to do their best to listen!
