I feel like you can only do that if you're Jewish yourself. Same with shondeh fur de goyim.
It's a yiddish phrase meaning a Jew who's an embarrassment to Jews before the goyim. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it, but the point is there are certain things non-Jews should not say, and Kapo is one of them.
I had a Jewish friend call me as a joke. The joke being that I'm not Jewish, but I'm embarrassing enough to associate with that the term applies anyway.
Kind of a weird word. Smells close to the way Christians use "heretic" or Muslims use "infidel".
That's not the most complimentary turn of phrase, either. It's like being called "laowai" or "gaijin". It identifies the victim of the slur as The Other and not to be trusted.
Well, speaking generally, no. Bad treatment really does not produce enlightenment. A lot of people want to find a silver lining and will try harder the worse something is.
And also, when you're part of the minority group being othered, you literally have to other the majority group - it's a fact of daily life.
:reddit-logo:
They're already othered by the majority group! It's already done. They are others. How dare black slaves treat white people as a group separated from themselves???? lol
Well it obviously has worse context in Israel used against Palestinians but that was not part of the discussion and obviously the person posting about "I had a jewish friend" doesn't live in Israel.
This definitely without a doubt is antisemitic if you're not Jewish yourself, like holy shit this would actually get you real death threats that someone might act on thats how serious of an insult this is.
I remember listening to Norman Finkelsteins TrueAnon interview and you can almost hear him shaking and crying with rage that he didnt do anything when they accused his mother of being a Kapo.
What is a kapo? I have never even heard the neonazis use that.
They were concentration camp prisoners who were spared some punishment in return for taking positions of authority over other prisoners
It's one of the worst things you can say to a Jewish person, it's like calling them a death camp collaborator
Damn too bad I'm not jewish I would totally just throw this is zionists all day on twitter, sounds like fun.
Maybe you're right, I don't have the whole context since I'm not jewish I just know I call our local fascists the worst shit I know of.
Yeah it's such a needlessly offensive insult, and really too specific to make sense in most circumstances.
The person would actually have to be doing something like, I don't know, Candice Owens type shit at a minimum.
if a zionist committed manslaughter in a fit of rage over this it would still be probably justified like holy fuck, I can't even think of an insult to compare this to cause nothing really compares to how historically and culturally insulting this is to say to a Jewish person, like the whole rest of the thread has already said definitely never do this as a non-Jew.
Being compared to a kapo isnt just "an insult", you're directly being accused of essentially betraying your own people for those who wish to exterminate them all, not in a hypothetical sense, but compared to people who actually made that choice in rea life, it has a massive fucking cultural weight and trauma behind it and being called that by someone who isn't even a Jew would amplify that rage.
If you're not able to understand why someone would be justified in committing manslaughter over that word, then you simply do not understand the full weight of it.
Think of the video recently posted on here of a white customer calling a black service worker the N-word and then getting punched the fuck out. It's kinda like that. Had that customer had a glass jaw and died from that punch, many of us would still crab dance over it even. The words are not directly analogous, but the rage they incite absolutely would be, and someone who's not Jewish using it as a term of hate would and should get an involuntary nap.
The closest analogue I think would be calling a Black American a "House n*gger" but even that doesnt fully translate how absolutely horrific of an insult Kapo specifically is because of how close in time the events are and how concentrated the horror is, which makes the betrayal it references many times worse.
I thought this was an italian word.
and then I learned the large difference between Capo and Kapo on this day.
So if you're Jewish: Do this.
If you're not: Don't.
Alright, got it.
Even if you are Jewish I'd discourage it. But absolutely don't do it if you're a gentile.
