WaPo’s Megan McArdle says woman behind Libs of Tik Tok getting doxxed isn’t really a big deal because she’s just an Orthodox Jew Posted at 11:18 am on April 19, 2022 by Sarah D

Some of you weirdos out there seem pretty concerned for the welfare of the woman behind the popular Libs of Tik Tok Twitter account. But there’s really no need to be worried about her! Because, as Taylor Lorenz’s Washington Post colleague Megan McArdle points out, the woman is an Orthodox Jew:

Interestingly, LibsofTikTok appears to be Orthodox, and to work at a realty that caters to the Orthodox, so I'm guessing the fallout of having her name revealed is going to be pretty minimal.

She’s just an Orthodox Jew. And you know how those Orthodox Jews are.

We went ahead and grabbed that screenshot, just in case Megan comes to her senses and deletes the tweet. But it’s important to note that at this point, it’s too late for Megan to walk this back. It’s out there, for all the world to see. And we’re going to do what we can to make sure all the world sees it. People need to know what casual antisemitism looks like.

Because that’s exactly what Megan’s tweet is.

“we figured out who keeps embarassing us. she’s a jew who lives in brooklyn. here’s her business address.”

public interest served!

Babylon Bee CEO announces that he's worked out a deal to make Libs of Tik Tok's gig a full-time career WaPo's senior managing editor says the paper did not link to any details about Libs of Tik Tok's personal life What was the purpose of Taylor Lorenz highlighting Libs of Tik Tok’s Orthodox Judaism if not to add fuel to antisemitic flames? And what is the purpose of Megan McArdle’s tweet if not to downplay the effort?

I’m sorry, what? https://t.co/3Vl5oFhham

Remember when Megan McArdle wasn’t a kneejerk defender of journalistic malpractice and garbage people? We do. But with each passing day, it gets more and more difficult.

This shouldn't ever be a standard. The person who threatened to dox me in 2019 said that by his estimation, it wouldn't hurt my professional life and so he felt comfortable doing it.

— Noam Blum (@neontaster) April 19, 2022

Megan would probably have said that Blum was asking for it anyway.

Except the death threats, sure.

"She's an Orthodox Jew, therefore it's ok to publish information that endangers her & her family" – Washington Post reporter.

The same Washington Post that ignores the fact that Jews are victims of 50%+ of all hate crimes in New York City, the overwhelming majority against us. https://t.co/ciwNOzs9Fe

have you not seen the MASSIVE spike in crimes against Jewish people? are you that out of touch with reality Megan? https://t.co/15hob3rAuf

— Fifty Shades of Sarcasm (@Fifty_ShadesOfD) April 19, 2022

Give Megan some credit: we believe that she’s well aware of the increase in antisemitic crimes over the past several years. We just also believe that she doesn’t care.

Yes, I read majority of Israel’s populace will be Orthodox by 2040.

God willing.

Problem is, a certain percentage of religious youth drop observance, and the Israeli permanent government likes to make sure immigration doesn’t favor the religious.

I've never heard of Twitchy. I've heard of Tik Tok but have never seen it. I've never heard of Libs of Tik Tok.

I don't know why anyone connected with Libs of Tik Tok would be doxed, or why it matters if they are, or why the Washington Post is covering this, or why Freepers care.

As social media advances, I feel myself left further and further behind, ever more ignorant of stuff I'm expected to know about to stay relevant.

3. There’s a whole lot of “scratching goin’ on” at the Wash. Post. Some anti-semitic, some pro-Communist, pro-Marxism, pro-CRT, pro-sexual disfunction concerning our kids education, some anti-white, anti-conservative, and some just pure insanity from its leaders, editorial writers, staff writers (not all, a few are good), and esp. amongst its columnists who hate everyone except themselves and Karl Marx, Rachel Carson, Trayvon Martin/Floyd/Sharpton, Joy Reid and Maxine “ Muddy Brained” Waters.

“sounds like the Bezos Blog is a bastion of anti-Semitism”

Bezos Compost will trot out there Jewish employees to deflect the anti-Semitism critics. They will gladly do it. Never underestimate the self loathing of liberals.
