[Peace-discuss] Online activism...

Overt antisemitism is having the words "Death to All Jews!" on the
banner of the website.

Anything not coming up to that standard would be sub-overt,
maybe under-overt, although under-overt (under/over-t) seems
to be a sort of flip-flopping position.

"Holocaust denial" on a website or other materials makes one subject
to accusations of anti-semitism by those who are into that sort of thing
and believe that there is anti-semitism lurking behind every bush.

Whether one is anti-semitic or not, one could certain learn to be at
least mildly opposed to anti-[anti-semitism] regardless of
one leanings toward semi-tism or complete-tism.

Actually the opposite of semi-tism seems to be holo-tism,
and that checks out well in Mandarin-- yi ban zhuyi/quan bu zhuyi,
and suggests that semi-tism is the tendency to do things halfway,
half-assed, so to speak.

One would want to differentiate holo-tism (holotism) from holism,
which it has being pointed out in some detail that the optical antipode
of holism is reductionism, but I digress.

One could be holo-caustic,  or semi-caustic.  Those who prevent the
actions of the totally caustic would then be holocaust deniers which
seems to be quite a scorching fabrication to men of the cloth.

Regarding anti-semitic semiotics, I was looking for photodiodes and
found a supplier from India with the word Swastika in its name.
Hitler's handlers stole that symbol from the East and besmirched it.
It is interesting to see swastikas (clockwise and counterclockwise ones)
adorning various significant structures in the East.  They are neither
anti-semitic nor reductionist in that context.

There seems to be something afoot and afoul in the whole 9-11 matter
some nugget of truth that continues to drive the truthers and their cousins
the birthers.

"Poisoning the well" doesnt seem to be very effective 
anti-truthing/anti-birthing.
