Honestly, the more loudly and vehemently you identify as an ally of a marginalized group, the less of an ally you probably are.
If you have to ASSURE people you're An Ally, you're really just doing a different version of "Some of my best friends are _____!" or "I love your people!"
If you're just trying to do your best and maybe have some doubts about whether you're enough of an ally, you're probably fine.
Same basic rule of thumb as being a good person, really.
coming in hot with my first take on antisemitism in a while after trying to limit my time on this cesspit of jew hatred: being an ally is not something you can identify as, it is something that you become through actions and are deemed so by the minority you are allying with. 99% of you who identify as an ally of the jewish people are actually raging antisemites. if we are scared of you (we are) you are not an ally, not matter how much you identify as one.
#My ex recently assured me that he is VERY pro-Jewish and anti-Zionist#I definitely had not asked#Also: no you're not. You don't know squat about Judaism.#This dude's idea of being super supportive in every possible way included making me bring an infant to conversion classes#So he wouldn't have to bring said infant to his improv classes#Like. Bro. Our infant is geared for comedy; is a huge extrovert; and you can just wear him while you do improv games#Whereas i had to sit down and listen in class#Which enraged our child and I just ended up having to walk him up and down the halls all night#And then give up and say i would just read the textbook on my own#I should have gone back to my co parent and been like listen this isn’t gonna work#But it seemed like he had been so clear that it wouldn't work for HIM to bring the kid#Idk he just always thought his needs came first and i didn't have the spoons to push back#Fuck that dude#Wall of words#autistic parenting
