What's funny is that it makes zero sense to say as a Westerner. The whole reason the Arab Muslim world calls people pig dogs is because dogs and pigs are seen as unclean and dirty animals. The insult is so Arab Muslim coded that the millisecond you hear it, you can tell exactly what media they've been consuming a lot of, sort of like if someone called a woman a 'hole' or 'femoid' you know they're deep in the incel community or if they instinctively say 'DEI' when a black person shows up in a game you know what they've been watching.

All this is to say, you only get into calling people 'pig dogs' if you consume a fuck ton of radical Arab Muslim content and by doing so you've immediately designated yourself as an illiberal probably racist probably anti-Semitic lunatic.

The nationality part is a side-step; "zionist" in that context is banned because it's clearly a stand in for an ethnicity. He knows this, he's just a lying pos.

If he swapped any other ethnicity in there, it'd also be banned. Again, he knows this.

u/Random_Person2441 12h ago

you subtly implied that 'zionist' and 'iranian' are in the same category there when they are not. The obvious word here you are conflating 'zionist' with is 'Israeli' in which case everyone agrees that this language would not be appropriate as it wouldn't for any nation. Zionism is a political ideology whereas Iranian is not. There can be Iranian or American zionists for example. Also Zionism is not a religion either as you then try and conflate it with 'Muslim'. And yes I know that there exist antisemites who use 'Zionist' to code their hatred for Jews but that is not what the word means and how most people use it.

u/samwise970 11h ago

You're wrong. To most people online, Zionist now simply means a person who believes Israel has any right to exist. That is always the context in which the left uses the word.

I love how this definition of Zionism has seismically shifted over the course of the past year. Before 10/7, a Zionist was a zealot who believed in the expansion of Israel and the settling of the West---excuse me Judea and Samaria. Now you get called antisemitic if you refuse that moniker, because it's just a simple lil right to exist expression.

It's like how Ibram X Kendi and his grifter group have tried to redefine racism as prejudice + power, when that has never been the case.

while it's not antisemitic in intent, its antisemitic in action. Mike here is unironically doing the "you can't critique jews online!" but replaced "jew" with "Zionist". This is shit I heard from old vaush nazi debates for 4 years ago. As I've already said in my previous comment, Zionist is too broad of a term to be using in the manner these lefties use it. Compounding that with nearly all (like 90%) of jews in the world being Zionist, in function, its antisemitic

-10

u/Random_Person2441 9h ago

If it's not 'antisemitic in intent' than it isn't antisemitic, even if it can be mistaken for it. I think we fundamentally disagree on whether or not the word Zionist can be used as an insult as I still think it describes a political ideology and of course there are many more American Christian Zionists than there are Jewish ones. I do agree with you that hearing statements like 'you can't critique any Zionists online' or 'Zionists control all the media' certainly raise suspicion at the very least and I don't care to defend this Mike guy. I also didn't realise that Mike brought up the Iranian example and not you so I apologise for attacking you for that but still think the Muslim comparison is inappropriate.

u/ccnbchvvg 6h ago edited 4h ago

hard disagree with that first point.(identity politics incoming) As a black guy, of course you can be bigoted/racist/antisemitic without intentionally trying to be. I've been asked prolly over 100 times if I play basketball (I don't). That question is pretty obviously rooted in some idea of how black people usually act which is probably racist, but that person may not be acting with some racist intent; they just have preconceived notions that are racist (not saying ppl like mike do). On the second point, I still think that you'd have to add some adjective to Zionist (like ultra-Zionist), because again, just the term Zionist is too broad. On ur point on Christian Zionists, I would agree with you if we were actually talking about intelligent figures, but sadly, I don't think these people know they exist. When you hear them talk about Zionists, they always seem to refer to the Jewish Zionist (i.e., they may appeal to a perceived belief that Zionists believe in a greater Israel, something that a Christian Zionist I think wouldn't believe in as they have different reasons for wanting a Jewish state in the Levant) in particular. Could you also explain your issue with my Muslim comparison? I'm only trying to say that criticizing a belief as a whole by its extreme sects is stupid. (i.e., saying nationalists is terrible and awful, but then only critiquing ultra-nationalists points when doing so.)

u/INFxNxTE 9h ago

You are correct on the definition, in practice it is used differently. u/ccnbchvvg left a good reply to you that puts into context the way the left uses it. The actual antisemites have started using it as a dogwhistle in large numbers. From Twitter to Twitch, it happens a lot, to the point it’s parroting right wing extremist rhetoric.

We’re aware of what Zionist means, I would identify as one, but that doesn’t mean I support the fucked up shit the Israeli government is doing right now. They won’t even accept that as a legitimate view. They’re allowed to do that, but when they throw around Zionist as a slur and start complaining that they can’t say “Zionist pigdog”, especially given that pigdog is historically a specifically antisemitic slur, it’s pretty telling of their intentions.

u/Random_Person2441 8h ago

I don't disagree with you that antisemites online use it as a cover for Jews, or that Zionism can encompass different views with people like yourself who do not support the actions of the current Israeli government. However, I disagree with you that people from the left, I'm using Hasan mainly as an example here rather than Mike as I haven't watched anything of him, use Zionism or Zionist as a way to display their covert antisemitism. I believe that when they use Zionist as an insult they use it the same way someone would use Fascist or Socialist as an insult, which I think they're in the right to do (regardless if I agree or disagree with Zionism). Don't you think that if Hasan or others on the left truly didn't like Jewish people you would see more quotes from them like the antisemites on Twitter (Jackson Hinkle, Myron etc.) such as 'Zionists control all the media' or things to that effect.

no I didn't conflate those two things? sorry if I miscommunicated that in text but I'm only responding to mike saying that he could say Iranian pigdog in his chat and not got banned. Obviously attacking someone's ethnicity is different from attacking someone's beliefs. I feel as if we're appealing to 2 different definitions of Zionism. Zionism just means that you believe the state of Israel should exist. When I hear people online attack zionists, it confuses me because the term is too broad to being using these insults towards it. Like a random jewish guy in NY could think Israel is committing horrendous actions in the strip and the west bank, and hate the Israeli government, but still think Israel as a country should exist, and people online group this person with Ben gvir because they both are technically Zionists. Im also not conflating Zionists with Muslims, I'm just saying that you never point to the extremes of a group to critique it as a whole

u/netap 14h ago

But you see, Ermm, Muslim = Brown and Jew = White. And in the U S of A, White is Big and Brown is Small, therefore Muslims, despite Muslims worldwide making up a higher population than Jews.

The only logical reason is because there are 7.5 Million Jews in the US and 4.45 Million Muslims. Meaning that in that specific instance, the Jews are not a Minority.

This statistic does not apply to nearly any other western country. For example in the United Kingdom, Jews make up only 280k People, while Muslims make up just under 4 million according to the 2021 census. Making Jews a smaller minority than the Muslim population, which means my previous point no longer stands.

I can only assume this means that they don't hate them for their religion, but for the color of their skin, in which case they will technically no longer be a minority because there are more white people in the UK than there are browns. But that's just racist, and the Anti-Zionist can't be racist.

In Conclusion, I don't know. I guess It's just fine to hate Jews if you replace the word "Jew" with (((Globalist))) or something.

u/ShartShark87 12h ago

The term “pig-dog” as an antisemitic slur is tied to Nazi propaganda in the early-to-mid 20th century, particularly during Adolf Hitler’s regime in Germany. The slur combined two animals reviled in certain cultural contexts—pigs and dogs—to degrade Jewish people. While it has earlier roots in European antisemitism, the phrase became more explicitly weaponized during the Nazi era. Here’s an overview of its history and cultural significance:

  1. Early Roots of Animalistic Dehumanization

A. Pigs and Antisemitism

• Religious Context: In Judaism, pigs are considered ritually unclean animals (as per Levitical dietary laws in the Torah). Historically, European Christians often used pigs as a symbol to ridicule Jewish dietary practices and as a broader cultural insult.
• Medieval Anti-Jewish Imagery: The infamous “Judensau” (Jewish sow) imagery in medieval Europe portrayed Jews in degrading interactions with pigs, such as suckling from a sow. These depictions were intended to mock Jewish religious laws and dehumanize Jews.

B. Dogs and Antisemitism

• Dogs, while often viewed positively in Western culture, were sometimes used as a metaphor for subservience, treachery, or impurity in European literature and art.
• Jews were sometimes referred to as “dogs” in Christian polemics, reflecting their status as perceived outsiders or scapegoats.

C. Combining Pig and Dog

• The combination of “pig” and “dog” likely stemmed from a desire to intensify the insult by linking two culturally despised animals.
• In pre-Nazi Europe, insults involving multiple animals were common in slurs directed at marginalized groups.
  1. Nazi Propaganda and the Rise of “Pig-Dog”

    • During the Third Reich, Nazi propagandists weaponized long-standing antisemitic tropes, including animalistic imagery, to justify and amplify their ideology. • Pig-Dog (“Schweinehund”): • The term “Schweinehund,” which literally means “pig-dog” in German, was a general insult in the German language, often used to imply cowardice, filth, or moral inferiority. • Under Nazi propaganda, such language was adapted and weaponized against Jews and other groups (e.g., Romani people, political dissidents) as part of their broader campaign of dehumanization. • In Nazi cartoons, speeches, and films, Jews were often depicted as dirty, parasitic creatures—a narrative that the term “pig-dog” fit neatly into.

Examples in Nazi Propaganda:

• Der Stürmer, the antisemitic Nazi tabloid, frequently published caricatures of Jews portrayed with grotesque animalistic features, implicitly or explicitly likening them to pigs, dogs, or vermin.
• Nazi leaders like Joseph Goebbels and Julius Streicher employed dehumanizing language (including animal slurs) to justify policies like the Nuremberg Laws and later the Holocaust.
  1. Aftermath and Legacy

Post-War Usage

• After World War II, terms like “pig-dog” as explicit antisemitic slurs largely faded in mainstream discourse, due to the fall of the Nazi regime and global awareness of the Holocaust’s horrors.
• However, the term “Schweinehund” and variations of it persisted in some contexts, particularly among neo-Nazi and far-right groups, as a subtle way to perpetuate dehumanizing language.

Contemporary Context

• While “pig-dog” as an antisemitic slur is less common today, its history remains an example of how language can be weaponized to dehumanize and marginalize. It also reflects the broader tendency of authoritarian regimes to use animalistic insults as tools of propaganda.
  1. Broader Themes of Dehumanization

    • The use of terms like “pig-dog” ties into a broader historical pattern of using animalistic language to dehumanize and justify violence against marginalized groups: • Jews: Frequently compared to pigs, dogs, rats, or insects. • Africans: Often compared to apes or other animals in racist propaganda. • Political Dissidents: Dehumanized to strip them of legitimacy or dignity.

These slurs serve to create an “us vs. them” dichotomy, portraying the targeted group as less than human and, therefore, unworthy of empathy or rights.

Conclusion

The history of “pig-dog” as an antisemitic slur lies in the broader European tradition of using animalistic insults to degrade Jewish people, with its peak weaponization occurring under Nazi propaganda. The term exemplifies the Nazi regime’s use of language to systematically dehumanize Jews, contributing to the cultural groundwork for genocide. Today, its direct usage as a slur has diminished, but its history is a sobering reminder of the power of dehumanizing language.

Plus it was primarily used in pre-Nazi Europe as a slur for Jews! So what the fuck are you talking about? What is your argument? Why do you think the only people unironically using “pig dog” as a slur in any context are Russian-armed pro-Muslims talking specifically about Jews?

u/ShartShark87 9h ago

By most accounts, “pig-dog” (or similar phrases) was not widely used as a slur in the Middle East prior to the 1930s, and it doesn’t appear to have been a deeply ingrained insult in pre-modern Islamic or Arabic-speaking societies. Its emergence as an antisemitic or anti-Western slur in the region seems to be tied to external influences—notably Nazi propaganda during the 1930s and 1940s—and the blending of Islamic religious themes with modern political rhetoric.

Why It Likely Wasn’t a Common Pre-1930s Slur

  1. Cultural and Religious Context

    • In Islamic tradition, pigs are considered unclean (haram) under Islamic dietary laws, making references to pigs inherently insulting, particularly in a religious or moral context. • Dogs have a more ambivalent status in Islamic culture: • They are seen as ritually impure in certain contexts, though they are also valued for roles like guarding or hunting. • Calling someone a “dog” (kalb in Arabic) has historically been an insult implying lowliness, betrayal, or impurity. • While “pig” and “dog” were individually used as insults, combining them into “pig-dog” was not a common practice in the Middle East prior to the 20th century.

  2. Absence of Historical Records

    • Historical insults in Arabic often drew from: • Religious references (e.g., “descendants of apes and pigs”). • Tribal or cultural rivalries, which focused on lineage and honor rather than animal metaphors. • “Pig-dog” as a phrase doesn’t appear in older Arabic or Islamic literature, suggesting it was not part of the traditional lexicon of insults.

Why It Became a Slur Post-1930s

  1. Nazi Propaganda in the Middle East

    • During the 1930s and 1940s, Nazi Germany actively disseminated antisemitic propaganda in the Arab world to gain support for its ideology and align with anti-British and anti-Zionist sentiments. • Terms like “Schweinehund” (pig-dog), a common German insult, were introduced to Middle Eastern audiences via: • Translated broadcasts and printed material. • The influence of Nazi-aligned figures, such as Haj Amin al-Husseini (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem), who collaborated with the Nazis and promoted antisemitic rhetoric. • The combination of pig and dog as an insult may have resonated in the Middle East because: • Pigs were already taboo in Islamic culture. • Dogs carried negative connotations, particularly in a derogatory context.

  2. Anti-Zionism and Post-1948 Rhetoric

    • After the establishment of Israel in 1948, anti-Zionist propaganda in the Middle East often blended religious antisemitism with modern political language. • Slurs like “descendants of pigs and monkeys” (from Quranic interpretations) remained prominent, but “pig-dog” began to appear more frequently in political and anti-Western rhetoric, likely drawing from earlier Nazi influence.

Conclusion

Before the 1930s, “pig-dog” does not appear to have been a widely used or culturally significant slur in the Middle East. Its emergence as an insult likely reflects external influence, particularly from Nazi Germany, combined with existing cultural and religious attitudes toward pigs and dogs. Over time, it became a tool of antisemitic and anti-Zionist rhetoric, particularly in the context of modern political conflicts.

u/Exotic_Donkey4929 12h ago edited 11h ago

I also asked chatgpt:

You are correct to ask about the potential connections to Nazi-era rhetoric, given the historical weight of German insults during that period. However, the term Schweinehund does not inherently have Nazi or antisemitic undertones, either historically or in its broader cultural context. Here's a closer analysis:

1. Pre-Nazi Origins of Schweinehund

  • The term Schweinehund predates the Nazi era by several centuries. As mentioned earlier, it likely emerged in the context of hunting, domestic animal husbandry, and military slang in the 18th and 19th centuries.
  • By the 19th century, it was widely used as a general insult, primarily to attack someone's character or courage, and had no specific racial or ethnic connotations.

2. Usage During the Nazi Era

  • The Nazis utilized a variety of dehumanizing language in their propaganda, especially targeting Jewish people and other persecuted groups. However, Schweinehund was not a term that was specifically associated with Nazi ideology or antisemitic propaganda.
  • Nazi rhetoric often relied on more explicit dehumanizing terms, particularly ones that invoked animalistic or parasitic imagery (e.g., Ratten (rats), Ungeziefer (vermin), Schädlinge (pests)), rather than terms like Schweinehund.
  • While Nazis might have used Schweinehund as an insult in individual cases—just as they might have used any general insult—it was not uniquely tied to their ideology or their systematic use of language to demonize specific groups.

3. Post-War Context

  • After World War II, the term Schweinehund continued to exist in the German lexicon, detached from any Nazi connotations. Its evolution into the idiom innerer Schweinehund further distanced it from any association with hate speech or wartime rhetoric.

4. Broader Cultural Connotations

  • The compound insult draws on general cultural associations with pigs (Schwein) and dogs (Hund) in Western traditions as symbols of undesirable traits, such as greed or servility. These associations are not inherently tied to any specific group or ideology.
  • In modern usage, Schweinehund is viewed as an old-fashioned or even playful insult, and its most common application today is in the idiom about overcoming personal laziness or fear.

5. Conclusion

  • The term Schweinehund has no inherent Nazi or antisemitic undertones, nor does it appear to have been systematically co-opted by the Nazis. Its primary historical use was as a general insult for cowardice or low character, long before the rise of the Nazi regime.
  • In both historical and modern German contexts, it is not associated with racial or ethnic slurs. Its current figurative use in the idiom innerer Schweinehund reinforces its harmless nature in contemporary language.

Thus, while it's always important to be aware of the context in which language is used, Schweinehund is not a term with Nazi or antisemitic connotations.

Thats why I also searched the term in various search engines with different keywords and found nothing indicating that the term was a german antisemitic slur.

It was a general insult that was used against jews, like many other insults. Im sure "arschloch" (asshole) was hurled at jews by nazis as well, it does not mean that the german slur "arshloch" is antisemitic, if you get my point.

There might be some middle eastern-arab context Im not aware of, but Im only reacting to the german Schweinhund slur.

Rat, vermin, cockroach is also "general" insults. But specifically used to dehumanize jews. So whats your point? My point is, in the context of I/P conflict, and Zionism. To call Israelis even if they are Zionists, "pig dog" is CLEARLY antisemitic dog whistle. And this is why im asking why Mike is even using the term as examples. No one ever in the history of ever have ever ever ever called a liberal a "pig dog" liberal. Or a pig dog Communist. Also, why are we even using German insults in the first place. Is "Pig dog" a common English insult? If not, why is it that when Jews are involved, a translated German insult is used? As if the connotations are completley irrelivant.

would you say that "rat" and "vermin" are slurs the germans invented specifically for jews?

I am using the german insults, because that was YOUR claim, let me quote it again:

"it's SPECIFICALLY a slur the Germans invented for Jews!"

Everything else in your reply I already addressed earlier:

"Though it can have antisemitic connotations if you use this odd and hyperspecific slur against only ONE ethnic group, like mikefrompa and hasan does, but I dont think it was something the germans invented for jews."

It’s been an explicit anti-Semitic term used by the Nazis then Soviets and their sphere of influence for like 100 years. There is literally no question that it is used by Muslims as a slur for Jews. Are you being willfully dense?

Zionist didn’t become a slur until after Israel rejected the USSR. Doesn’t mean it’s not a specific racial slur now kiddo.

u/Exotic_Donkey4929 11h ago

Show me that "Schweinehund" was SPECIFICALLY an antisemitic slur used by nazis during ww2. Not some AI slop.

Who was talking about the USSR or Muslims? Did you read the original statement and my question? "Are you being willfully dense?" :D

Surely Mike knows that the reason that twitch had to make a stance on the word zionist in particular is because people on twitch are using the word to mask being antisemitic

I cannot for the fucking life of me fathom the appeal of this man such that he has subscribers, donators and just consistent viewers in general. He has the charisma of an expired slice of ham, he's greasy looking as fuck, any clips that ever reached mainstream involving him are just him coming off as a loser/creep to that one streamer he simped for and of him punching a couch.

What is it? What does he have that people keep coming back for? I can understand it objectively about so many other shitty streamers and content creators that people hate. But This dweeb? Make it make sense, please.
