Listen, I'm having fun playing with the ultra patriotic voice, but after a couple years in blue-collar landscaping jobs, you really do need to phrase things like that.

"I'm pretty sure that fella ain't here legally."

"Well, that ain't your business Chip, it's his."

They hate being preached to. If you pull out words like 'gender wage gap' they'll tell you you're brainwashed by the far left media.

"He's one of them transgenders."

"He got freedoms too, Jimmy."

The "you can't use the term Nazi to refer to a Jew" rule applies even when they are helping Nazis.

But good news for you! We already have a term for a Jew who collaborates with Nazis.

They're called a kapo.

Have a great day.

My super conservative brother loved letting me know about the latest leftist who hated me now right up until I tried to kill myself. I put in my suicide note, "Great new - you won! After hurting me every day just like antisemites, you broke me. Now there's one less leftist in the world!" and he's continuing to be a sore winner. You'd think after months of gleefully telling me how people hated me, constantly, daily, in texts and in person and in little notes he slid under my door, he'd be happy he got me to give up on life. I've been repeatedly telling him since I got back, "Don't worry, I'm keeping up on things! People hate us! Isn't it great how many people hate us? Everyone wants us dead! Everyone wants us to be brutally murdered! We're not people to anyone anymore!" and instead of being happy he got me to go from optimistic and cheerful to cutting myself daily and actively wanting to die, he's been avoiding me. You're the one who used to tell me six or seven times a day how everyone hated me, but now that I'm actively participating in an activity that you enjoy, it's uncool? Ugh, this is like Pokemon when we were little kids all over again.

My therapist and psychiatrist are fairly sure my brother was the final straw that pushed me into relapsing in terms of both self-injury and my Bipolar Depression. My old medication and therapy regime could not withstand months of being bombarded with repeated, daily, constant, unrelenting reminders that people I used to look up hated me. And somehow, despite having gotten everything his conservative ass wanted - I have no hope, no joy, no heroes, no one I can watch online, no greater desire than death - he's still grumpy! We've hit new levels of sore winner with this. Even when he succeeds, somehow, he's still grumpy. He's made me give up on life before I'm old enough to drive but somehow, he's still not pleased with the fruits of his labor.

I need it to be September so he can go off to college already. Seeing someone get everything they wanted and still be annoyed is obnoxious.

Meanwhile, at this point I'm worried that the fire sprinklers will seemingly work and douse the fire like they were supposed to... Only for it to turn out later on, the fire supressant carried some cancer-causing chemical that insurance won't cover.

What I thought was a second chance, might instead screw me over in the long run.

why are jews skeptical of antizionism? a guide for gentiles

I'd be ok with the notion Israel wasn't needed if y'all could be trusted not to fuck it up when Jews needed somewhere to flee. But last time (to put it politely) you fucked it up real bad, and six million Jews died.

Fundamentally, antizionism is asking Jews to put our lives in the hands of the same people who saw us screaming for help, who knew that death awaited us, and did all of nothing. Nada. Nil.

(As demonstrated by the recent Amsterdam pogrom, Israel is totally ok and often proactive in flying Jews out. Around the same time as Palestinians were being exiled, Jews from all over the Arab world were being driven out in similar numbers. The reason you don't hear about that refugee crisis? Israel accepted them, without complaint or delay or objection, just urgency.)

Pardon us for being a bit skeptical of your assertions that it won't happen again when a constant theme throughout our history has been it happening again.

This is a slightly modified form of an older, longer, post's tags/tldr.

I'm saying it again: do not let MAGA rewrite the narrative.

[adamrsherman]

That's what always happens in capitalist societies. They say that if you don't want to be poor, there's a certain thing you have to do. But then everyone does it, so it's no longer effective. The system depends on making sure that there's always a supply of poor people to exploit.

It's become extremely obvious over the past 15 months that the only reason much of the Western world ever basically agreed that the Holocaust was bad and was willing to teach about it is because for a brief period of time, Jews and gentiles in most of Europe + America had a common enemy in the Nazis. But this acknowledgement of Nazi antisemitism was only ever the same kind of acknowledgement of antisemitism that we get right now, where people are only willing to acknowledge the antisemitism of the people they already had a completely separate reason to dislike or fear. Antisemitism in this worldview is just a tool, a secondary accusation one can lodge at someone who is already for different reasons an enemy. It is never acknowledged as a form of bigotry in and of itself, that exists on its own and not as a follow up to another "more serious" form of oppression or bigotry against gentiles.

Obviously any Holocaust education we do get in Europe and the US has very much been the result efforts by Jews and our allies in a practical sense, but it is undeniable that there was a brief 70 or so year period where the white Western consciousness found it valuable (or at least politically convenient) to recognize antisemitism as wrong and the Holocaust as horrific. As true, original-brand Nazism fades, though, we see opposition to antisemitism and the Holocaust becoming less and less valuable to the white Western identity, as actual threat of Nazi occupation fades to historical memory. Newer, rebranded neo-Nazis and leftist Hamas supporters pose little to no threat to white Western gentiles. And thus, we see now not only a growing acceptance of antisemitism, but also a growing hostility towards the idea that we should study or condemn the Holocaust as anything particularly terrible. The Holocaust no longer represents a way for gentiles to additionally condemn an ideology that also threatened them, that also killed their families, that also resulted in their own countries and communities being occupied or destroyed by foreign fascist governments. It no longer represents to them an ideology that is in any way a threat to their own safety or way of life.

This is why we see such a massive rise in Holocaust denial among Gen Z, and, even more broadly than overt Holocaust denial, the rejection of the idea that the Holocaust should be particularly studied or condemned. More and more, we see people "questioning" the "propaganda" of The Jews Crying Victim All The Time, we see young people wondering why they are so cruelly forced to acknowledge on very rare occasion the suffering that the Jewish people went through in their own homes and towns. Often this is framed not only as intellectual bravery but moral bravery, as if this new generation rejecting Holocaust education is somehow fighting back against the unfair valuing of Jewish tragedy above gentile tragedy. What they don't understand, of course, and what many Jews up until now didn't understand either, is that no one ever valued the Holocaust because it WAS a uniquely horrific event in history, because it WAS the first and only industrialized genocide that gassed millions to death on a scale we can only pray the world will never see again, because it WAS only 70 years ago and is still a living part of the history of many Western countries. No. The Holocaust was only ever given the acknowledgement it was because it represented, at one time, an ideological threat that also included gentiles, though less overtly than it targeted Jews.

That ideological threat against Jews has not gone anywhere, and is in fact is seeing a new glory day dawning with the rise of fascism worldwide and the normalization/glorification of antisemitism on the left. But this new form of antisemitic hatred, be it neo-Nazism or support for Hamas, does not represent a threat to white Western gentiles, their way of life, or the integrity of their governments. And so we as we see the decoupling of the Holocaust from something that also incidentally threatens gentiles, we see standing against the Holocaust and antisemitism as a symbol of white Western identity disappearing as fast as it came.

Ask urself why the UN hasn't condemned China for genocide of its Uyghur Muslims despite camps designed for genocide, has been happening since before Oct 7, and millions more Uyghurs have been murdered (hint it begins with an A and ends with ntisemitsm)

If the far left wanted the Democrats to save them, they should've voted for the Democrats to save them.

Meanwhile, it's been two months since the election, and the left still hasn't started the Revolution. What's keeping y'all?

[adamrsherman]

seeing the gen z left continue to be antisemitic as fuck online when it was shown that a shocking amount of gen z voted for Trump and considering the jewish community stood by us and stood up to trump, 88% of jewish women and like 79% of jewish men voting for Kamala, despite the vitriol that side of the isle has thrown at them for a year now is just … a choice….

ya’ll lucky they know right from wrong and how to say no to fascism cause I wouldn’t blame them for not supporting the left at this point smdh.

the left cannot keep using hitler and the holocaust as talking points against Trumpism unless they too acknowledge and work on their own raging antisemitism in their party, specifically the youth. The left needs to find a way to support innocent Palestinians without becoming literal N*zis in the process and also driving everyone away with their behavior or else we are so so so f*cked. Stop alienating the group that actually voted against a fascist orange turd

[adamrsherman]

I would also like to know who this female Hitler they were talking about was.

I hate, hate, HATE when queer goyim try to make it seem like they were the main ones affected by the Shoah.

Dozens of them taking a FICTIONAL CHARACTER (who granted is a fascist but a FICTIONAL ONE) and saying "Oh she's female Hitler" or otherwise comparing her to that scumbag.

And as soon as you call them out on their bullshit, they go "Oh but Hitler hated gay people too and I'm gay so I can say it!"

No. NO YOU CAN'T!!!!! NO YOU CAN'T!!!! Do not try to put THE FINAL SOLUTION on the same level as him just not liking queer people!!!!! You guys didn't have it anywhere near as bad!!! I don't mean to downplay the struggles of queers during the shoah (hell, I'm queer myself), but OY!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

I'm just sick and tired of all this antisemitism in Fandom spaces. And I'm sick of queer goyim using their queerness and/or other kinds of marginalisation to excuse said antisemitism.

"The fact is, we're all Jews and the only consistent allies we'll find are one another." Based on some of the shit I've seen, shared, and/or read, sadly not even THAT'S necessarily the case.

Antisemitism isn't an issue exclusive to the left or the right. Jewish people who get too sucked into one political side and lose sight of this are swapping out their tribe for shoddy, cheap political interests who will throw them under the bus at a moment's notice. Ben Shapiro and Norman Finkelstein are two sides of the same coin--one is ignoring the antisemitism on the left and the other is ignoring the antisemitism on the right. The fact is, we're all Jews and the only consistent allies we'll find are one another. Instead of putting stock into arbitrary left/right divisions which only date to late 18th century France, how about we rely on the millennia old bonds that have preserved the Jewish people despite the oppression of ages?

We are one people. They've failed to divide us by Ashkenazi vs Mizrahi, Hilonim vs Datiim, "white" Jews vs black Jews, Diaspora vs Israeli Jews, and so on. We should not let antisemitic goyim carve us up and turn us against one another. Besides, both the left and the right hate our guts and would gladly see us oppressed/killed, one for being white colonizers and the other for being inferior non whites. So why would we want to hitch our destinies to either side??

Star Wars

People will claim to be a fan of some thing and then hate all of the themes and motifs and story lines and plot lines and protagonists and antagonists like man I don’t think that you actually like it here

Here’s to 2023, a year of as many little courageous kindnesses as possible. ♥️

[adamrsherman]

Reading articles about Tucker Carlson spreading Holocaust denial, I couldn’t help but notice that all the Republican officials (including potentially the next Vice President) who’re supporting him say that they can’t possibly be antisemitic because they support “Israel and the Jewish people” or “Israel and the Jewish community in America” etc.

They always say Israel first, like they’re reading off of the same script. American Jews are an afterthought, if we’re even mentioned at all. In our own country, according to the people that want to lead our country, we’re at best Jews “in America.” You know, just temporarily. Until we can be shuffled off to where we really belong.

I’m not gonna lie, it burns to keep seeing that again and again and again. And maybe it makes me a Bad Jew or whatever, but yeah, it does make me resent Israel. Not just because their interests are being pitted against mine, but also because some of these American antisemites’ biggest supporters and biggest proponents of this idea that diaspora Jews are/should be subservient to Israel keep getting elected to lead the Israeli government.
