This goes much deeper than most think. Even when liberals are trying to make points that are pro feminist, anti racist, pro LGBT, anti sexist, etc, they just straight up copy right wing or fascist talking points and change the target. For example, ever seen the posts by liberals comparing men to skittles, of which some are poisonous, to try make a feminist point about women feeling unsafe?

It was originally a Trump Jr tweet.

This is yet another difference between liberal and leftist rhetoric, and the difference between liberal identity politics and left wing equality and social justice. Leftists actually attempt to address systemic issues and inequalities in society, liberals do window dressing of right wing rhetoric to try and make some kind of point, and fail. This is why tying social justice wins to liberal institutions like the Democratic party in the United States is doomed to fail, like it already has with abortion rights. Because liberals fundamentally do not care about these issues. The Democrats are feeding from the same trough as the Republicans in terms of rhetoric and policy. It should come as no surprise when the Democrats abandon and fail to fight for social justice.

Liberals are willing to crack skulls over the persecution complex of white college students (the “antisemitism” angle, I think, is just a cover for them to spout “anti-white racism in college” talking points. I mean, you expect me to believe white frat boys are suddenly overwhelmed with concern for Jewish students after having their fifth Nazi scandal of the year?) but go “aww shucks we can’t do nothing try again in 50 years” when it comes to actually existing discrimination.

When liberals actually care about a certain group - white students, they are perfectly capable of mobilizing for that cause. They don’t care about POC. This why they can spew concern trolling bullshit about antisemitism out one side of their mouths and genocidal Hitlerian anti-Arab racism out the other. Replace every instance of “antisemitism” with “anti-white racism” and you’ll see their true colors.

The entire campus antisemitism scare is because liberals are vile racists. It’s not about concern for Jewish students, it’s about hatred for uppity POC.

Yeah, as I explained in the original comment, even when liberals are trying to make socially progressive points, they just copy right wing rhetoric and change the subject. You've picked up on a great example here. Actually being against anti semitism should be a good thing. Everyone should be against anti semitism at a bare minimum. But what the liberals have done instead, is they've taken the talking points about "anti white racism" from the right, and just replaced it with "anti semitism" like you said. Instead of actually being against anti semitism. This is because Israel is a settler colonial project (which is why recycling the right wing propaganda about anti white racism works so well), and because actually being against anti semitism would mean being critical of Israel. I mean, it is very discriminatory to associate every follower of a religion, or member of an ethnic group, with a country that claims to represent them. Assuming all Jews agree with Israel's actions is anti semitic in of itself.

The entire campus antisemitism scare is because liberals are vile racists.

This encompasses a lot of liberal feminists, anti racists, LGBT activists, etc as well. They don't see Palestinian women as equals, they don't see Arab Palestinians as equals, they don't see LGBT Palestinians as equals. In their Eurocentric worldview, Palestinians do not matter. As someone else on hexbear once said, white supremacy and Eurocentrism is the black hole of liberalism. Initially you don't know that it's there, but everything orbits around it, and eventually gets sucked into it.
