Comment on Excuse my ignorance, but could someone explain why that tween Elon agreed with recently is considered antisemetic?

So… honest question here. The original tweeter.

Does anybody wanna take a stab at what the heck ‘Dialectical Hatred’ even… means?
I mean, hatred, yeah. that’s obvious.
Dialectical… though is usually a method of discourse that’s similar to debating- that is, two opposing view points hashing it out. (it differs some from debating, particularly in the arguments that are considered appropriate- for example, debate allows emotional arguments where dialectics doesn’t)

Can’t find any evidence of that being a term prior to the tweet. I’d guess one of

they meant something simple like ‘hateful dialogue’ or ‘hateful diatribe’, and thought it was a smart person way of saying it.

it’s the dog whistle du jour. Somewhere on stormfront or voat they’re getting terribly worked up about ‘dialectical hatred’ as the new current threat to the white race.

it’s used in some niche context where it has meaning. But our tweeter thinks it’s got more reach than it actually does.
