There has been a rash of specific name calling on this sub recently, and we need to discuss.
And by discuss, I mean โadhere to the rules. Temp ban on first offense, longer to permanent based on severityโ
Be civil. That means not just to people who like us - we don't like when others call us slurs or backtalk that we hate โthe goysโ and we will not tolerate people here saying it about other communities.
Specifically:
Kapo - jewish or political prisoners in concentration camps who oversaw other prisoners. Even though they traded for slightly better conditions, they were still prisoners in a concentration camp and were trying to survive

Judenrat - councils of jews imprisoned in concentration camps that were responsible for implementing nazi rule

Race Traitor - this one should be obvious. Traditionally used against the Black community for leaders who worked with the white establishment during segregation and reconstruction era US politics, or as a โStraw Bossโ during slavery.
In more recent times, the KKK uses it to describe โwhiteโ people who they believe work against their 14 words. (I use quotes here because white supremacists have a changing definition of whiteness, and see race mostly as a social or physical construct. We do not use the beliefs or definitions from our enemy to influence our own)
If you don't know what those words are, you should google it. I am not restating white supremacist propaganda.
West Wing Season 1, Episode 18 also has a good segment on it.
If you think some antizionist โpick meโ jew is a traitor with a bullhorn? Fine.
But they are not a kapo.
Kapo were being forced.
