[magnetothemagnificent]

Jew on the internet: "Hey here is how I make accomodations for myself in situations that might not be the easiest to navigate as a Jew"

The comments:

"Stop demanding we accommodate you, the world doesn't revolve around you!"

"Just say you think you're better than us and hate non-Jews"

"Hitler was right"

"Religion is so stupid why are you following those stupid laws"

At this point I am so done, I am so fucking done.

Today in Prague, a shooting took place targeting Jewish people at the Charles University allegedly and if you dont fucking believe me you can look it up, and if I hear you say its "hurr durr propaganda" Im honestly just gonna say that youre an antisemite, just because you dont SAY that you are doesnt make you less of an antisemite.

Whenever Jewish people suffer instead of letting us mourn, you ask, "Are they Israeli?" To see if you can justify their deaths further

What the fuck happened to People dont equal their governments? What happened to you didnt choose where you were born? This immediately goes out the window when it comes to Jewish people because YOU DONT FUCKING CARE

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED

ALL OF YOU WHO STALK ISRAELIS AND MAKE JEWISH PEOPLE THAT YOU DONT LIKE LIVE'S ABSOLUTE HELL

HOW DO YOU EVEN SLEEP AT NIGHT?

ARE WE JUST ANIMALS TO YOU?

ARE WE ONLT CONVENIENT WHEN WE ARE DEAD? WHEN WE ARE SILENT OR COMPLACENT?

WHEN I CONVERTED DO YOU KNOW HOW HURTFUL IT WAS KNOWING OTHER PEOPLE OF MY ETHNICITY ABANDONED ME FOR CONVERTING SAYING I WAS EVIL? THAT I AM NOW A "TRAITOR" TO THE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY FOR CONVERTING TO JUDAISM?

DO YOU NOT HEAR YOURSELVES WHEN YOU SAY WE EAT CHILDREN AND CONTROL THE WORLD? YOU ARE REGURGITATING WHAT THE N@ZIS SAID

I AM DONE, I AM DONE!

MY SUFFERING, MY GRIEF, OUR SUFFERING, OUR GRIEF DESERVES AS MUCH RESPECT AS ANYONE ELSES

WE ARE PEOPLE TOO, HOW COME YOU SEE WHITE AMERICANS WHO LIVE ON STOLEN LAND AS HUMANS BUT NOT ISRAELIS?

OR DO YOU JUST HATE JEWS?

WE ARE GETTING HATE CRIMED, DYING AND YOU CHEER IT ON? AS "ACTIVISM"? WE ARE NOT ANIMALS, WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS, ALL OF US!

WHEN WILL YOU SEE THAT WE TOO HURT? THAT WE TOO DONT APPROVE OF BIBI AND HIS GOVERNMENT?

IM TIRED OF EXPLAINING TO PEOPLE THAT I AM HUMAN, I AM HUMAN! I AM HUMAN! I AM NOT AN ANIMAL! AND I AM NOT THE GOVERNMENT EITHER

SUPER IMPORTANT EDIT: Alright so update, the shooting in Prague was apparently not linked to antisemitic hatecrime thankfully but the people who died were still innocent human beings who did not deserve to die, my sincerest condolences to the families, victims & the witnesses of the atrocity that took place at Charles University.

Honestly I feel so sorry for not looking deeper into the shooting and honest apologies.

The point STILL stands, regardness of national identity or ethnicity, we do NOT deserve to be victims of violence.

To all the Czech people, I am so sorry for not mentioning the full story and going off of what I heard, hypocritical on my part.

And still, even if this attack wasnt meant to target Jewish or Israeli people, it still stands that attacking Jewish or Israeli people is fully WRONG, disgusting, racist and deplorable.

[alcairsei]

i'm so tired. EVERY time i see a video of a middle eastern recipe, i go into the comments and see people saying stuff like "careful, or israelis will steal it and say it's theirs" "make sure it's clear where it's from so no one can claim they invented it".

guess what? most israelis DON'T claim that middle eastern dishes are solely israeli with no other roots. what a way to show everyone you don't know history. jews came to israel from all over the area and brought their dishes with them. that's why we make similar dishes. but these people just want to continue to assert jews as people without a homeland and a culture. well, fuck you.

[prideprejudce]

the theory that the reason why jk rowling is such an awful person now is because she's so chronically online and radicalized through lack of real human contact outside her transphobic internet spaces actually checks out pretty well

[pikachu-says-peekaboo]

Kinda wish that people would be giving the same kind of criticism and scrutiny to Internet Historian that they have been giving to James Somerton. IH is a much bigger and more well known channel and his cave video got a lot more attention. Like I know his video got taken down, and he's only done this to one video (that we know of) but he employed the same sort devious tactics to try and hide his plagiarism, so would be nice to see the same sort of outrage for him too.

suicide cw

look i have been in this area before mentally. it sucks and i wouldn’t wish this on anyone. but, and this is going to sound callous, but i don’t feel any sympathy for james somerton. even if i hope he’s like. not dead. But thats all the amount of goodwill im willing to give him. The more i think about this really, the more angry i am. 

ngl this entire situation is another example of how white people weaponize their mental illness to avoid consequences. Im seeing it in real time.

this man has a continuous habit of using self-harm as a get-out-of-jail-for-free card. in both of his apologies, he has worded his supposed attempts in ways that were clearly meant to guilt people who displayed his plagiarism and overall horrendous history of racism and misogyny. i say supposed because, while i’m not saying those are lies and this would he such a fucked up thing to lie about that i don’t want to think he has, unfortunately, it’s been proven again and again that his word can’t be trusted, as he’s known to lie to try get out of consequences. Hes a proven liar. him lying about this is actually the best case scenario, because no one should go through this entire situation, wouldnt wish this on anyone, but you can only do this so often before people stop sympathizing with you. is this callous? Yeah, but like. I’m actually fucking angry he cant straight up take no as an answer. that this is how he reacts realizing he cant be one of the Cool Kidz™️ on youtube anymore. he acts like he DESERVES a career, like its not a privilege hes lost due to his own actions.

He lied about apologizing and forgiving people, he lied about giving the money to hbomberguy to give to ppl he ripped off (yknow, instead of doing it himself), he lied about the jessie gender situation and rewrote the narrative to make it so he isnt the bad guy, and hes the victim all along actually!

you can’t tell me that supposed last message of his isn’t meant to be a 13 reasons why esq attempt to deflect the blame “look i’m going to kill myself and it’s all YOUR PEOPLES FAULT for not letting me achieve my DREAM of being filmmaker IN PEACE!!! I just wanted Nick’s (the guy who I have thrown under the bus again and again) portfolio up!! Im just being a good friend dont you all FEEL BAD” he refuses to take ANY ACCOUNTABILITY of any of his actions and he IS STILL trying to shove the blame over to other people again.

it’s also pretty ironic people are like “uhhh well hbomber’s fans harassed him!!!” like hbomber outright told people NOT to HARASS JAMES!!! ALSO acting as if james doesn’t have a very real documented history of STRAIGHT UP sending his fans to harass and threaten smaller creators, more notably women, trans, and bipoc creators. especially after he’s stolen typically very personal anecdotes so he could profit from them. so why can he do it but the second people are like “hey this guys an actual piece of shit.” and he can’t handle it suddenly people are trying to white knight his shit? like no he doesn’t get that. he doesn’t get that at all just because he couldn’t handle the consequences of his actions. 

what? were supposed to stay quiet about a man profiting off of other minorities because he wanted to be the spokesman for all gay people? people tried to solve this on a smaller, more private scales for YEARS and he kept doing it. it was clear that the giant public video was the ONLY way to get people to notice. HE WOULDVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH STEALING 87 FUCKING THOUSANDS WORTH OF DOLLARS. HE CANT HANDLE THE FACT HE CANT GET AWAY WITH IT. 

am i supposed to feel bad for the guy who basically threatened a trans woman with the police? i don’t care what anyone says, it’s so fucking obvious that he threatened jessie by implying he was getting the police involved in their conflict. what am i supposed to act like that didn’t happen? are we supposed to pretend like he didn’t glorify nazi’s and outright said that gay people made up a good chunk of the nazis? That he didnt say america joined ww2 bc they were jealous of the NAZIS. WHAT WOULD POSSESS YOU TO FUCKING SAY THAT. but then? He gives women (not even women most of the time, he misgenders nonbinary ppl constantly) shit for writing mlm. are we supposed to act like he doesn’t straight-up sees himself superior and better than people of color and steals their works to put himself on a pedestal? Are we supposed to act like he didnt spit on our elders by saying “only the boring gays survived aids” like man! Fuck you! He BLANTANTLY MAKES UP HISTORY TO PUT HIMSELF ON A PEDESTAL!! HE ACTIVELY TRIED TO REWRITE LGBT HISTORY TO SUIT HIS FUCKED UP NARRATIVES!

yes this sucks ! no one deserves this but no one should be making him a martyr. Thats what he fucking WANTS! He wants to be immortalized as a victim!! (again, supposedly, it was reported hes alive but its not confirmed).

The shit he got isnt near the amount of fucking callous behavior hes done again and again. Again, to drill this point, EVEN IF HE DIDNT CALL THE POLICE HE THREATENED A TRANS WOMAN INTO THINKING HE DID!!! The fact he tried to use a head injury to justify years of the outright ghoulish shit fucking astounds me. Why the fuck did anyone in his life thought it was a good idea to let him TRY to come back. in the end, he had options. he didn’t need to try to make a comeback. HE DIDNT NEED TO FUCKING LIE OR IGNORE THE SHIT HE WAS CALLED OUT ON the reality is, he wanted to come back thinking he could shove it under the rug, was told that no dude, you’re not allowed to be a youtuber anymore. you’re done. you need to move on and went full nuclear. it’s not on anyone’s hands but his own. HES BEEN DOING THIS TO HIMSELF!! But nah man we cant call his shit out bc hell may or may not kill himself. Fuck the other minorities who have the same issues but worse and sometimes BECAUSE of him. This is going to SUCKKKK so bad when other ppl, specifically white gays, are going to weaponize this shit to get away with their stuff.

[laineystein]

I really try to stay away from online discourse nowadays but it really is ✨wild✨ watching people on the internet say your country isn’t real and that you and your country do not have a right to exist. Like they’ve dehumanized us so badly that they don’t even realize how insane it is to think that, let alone voice it aloud. Imagine thinking that about any other country and any other group of people. Imagine you’re the one being talked about - imagine someone is saying these things to you. Do you all realize how ridiculous this is?!

RAMCOA - Unpacking The History

Trigger Warning for this post, as it will include mentions of various types of trauma and abuse, religious ideology and dogma, medical malpractice, death, and bigotry. Many links provided may go in depth on these subjects, so please be wary of clicking them if you are in a sensitive state.

Forward: Please note that the following analysis is about the term/acronym "RAMCOA" itself. There is a wide array of experiences that are said to fit under the RAMCOA umbrella, and while talking about the toxic history and usage of RAMCOA, these points are not meant to directly apply to every individual experience and trauma that it applies to. Cult and religious abuse exists, institutional and ritualistic abuse exists, trafficking rings exist. I am not attempting to debunk the experiences of survivors of these abuses for using and attaching to the term RAMCOA. This is simply a post I'm putting together while I study, and an encouragement for those who use the acronym to consider other terms given what I've learned and shared.

This is a very long post, so please consider setting it to the side and taking it in in pieces if needed, to make sure you get an accurate understanding.

Where Did This All Start?

Our dive begins with the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, which is commonly shorthanded to ISSTD and will be referred to this way for the entirety of the post going forward. The ISSTD is a nonprofit organization that began in the 1980s under the name "The International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation" (ISSMP&D). The organization featured clinicians and researchers that focused study onto Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD).

Over time, more was understood about the disorder, and MPD was renamed to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) as doctors became aware that the experiences of the disorder were linked to trauma and dissociation, not purely the concept of "multiple personalities". As such, the organization went through two rebrands, settling on the ISSTD acronym in 2006 and remaining under that name to this day.

As far back as the 1980s, the ISSTD was the subject of controversy due to the actions of healthcare professionals that operated within the organization. Some providers were found to be using hypnosis and other forms of RMT (link), a highly controversial practice in medicine, in order to help patients recognize and recover traumatic memories. However, it was exemplified through this lawsuit (link) and its 10.6 million dollar settlement that the power of suggestion could easily lead to memories that were inaccurate, modified, or even entirely fabricated, whether or not directly encouraged by the provider.

The lawsuit from Patricia Burgus also exemplifies another piece of controversy regarding the ISSTD, being their contributions to the Satanic Panic (link) and claims of Satanic Ritual Abuse, or SRA, in the 1980s. Providers like Dr. Braun, who co-founded the ISSTD (link), were found to be implanting memories specifically tied to conspiracy theories of mass satanic cults, such as human sacrifices and forced cannibalism.

Further still is the antisemitic ties and roots of these conspiracies, believed to have stemmed from Blood Libel (link) -- A well-contested conspiracy that Jewish people would kidnap and murder innocent Christians (particularly children) in order to use their blood for religious rituals. A conspiracy that, somehow, has still lived on in fringe groups like QAnon (link) and further cemented its links to the Satanic Panic through them.

Another facet of controversy within the ISSTD came from the conspiracy beliefs that not only were held by members, but were often the subject of conferences. These of course featured more on SRA, but also extended to subjects like that of the 1989 annual conference, "Manchurian Candidates" -- a disproven conspiracy that stemmed from a work of political fiction (link) where the protagonist is brainwashed into becoming a sleeper agent for the Soviet Union. While brainwashing is still believed to be potentially real, given the correct circumstances, part of what helped contest the ISSTDs conference subject was the leak of the USA's attempt to replicate this, MKULTRA (link).

The biggest controversy to point to, of course, is the treatment of patients by providers who associated with the ISSTD. Many of the links I've provided already address the many cases of emotional, physical and sexual abuse that took place with clients being treated for dissociative and trauma disorders, so I will not dive further into it here, but know that the details are distressing and the list is much longer than it should be for an organization dedicated to helping traumatized people heal.

How Does All This Connect to RAMCOA?

The ISSTD was responsible for coining the term in 2008 when creating the Ritual Abuse, Mind Control and Organized Abuse Special Interest Group (or, RAMCOA SIG for short), which quickly became their largest and most active special interest group. Multiple members of its Executive have faced controversy, both individually and as representatives for RAMCOA SIG (link), for continuing to spread conspiracies of satanic ritual abuse (some even adding paganism to the list of targets), making presentations that featured debunked allegations of an "underground network of tunnels below a preschool used for a sex trafficking ring" in the 80s (link), and discouraging fellow practitioners from considering misdiagnosis of DID (link).

Because of all this, RAMCOA as a term is inextricably linked to SRA, the Satanic Panic, medical malpractice, and to a degree, antisemitic conspiracy theories. Its creation as an acronym stemmed from theories and conspiracies that are predominantly held by fringe extremist groups, instead of any legitimate medical documentation around trauma and institutional abuse. Many of those who created it have been noted actively and purposely triggering paranoia and delusion in both their clients and fellows of the SIG, still continuing to spread their personal beliefs in lieu of medical advice.

The term has steeped itself in so much controversy, in fact, that the RAMCOA SIG was rebranded (link) to the Organized and Extreme Abuse (OEA) SIG in order to maintain their stance as an educational special interest group.

But What About The Content Creators?

I will again state that in this post, I am not making any attempt to attack or debunk any particular person or survivor, or pick apart the legitimacy of their conditions, traumas, etcetera. However, it is important to the discussion of RAMCOA, the problems of its usage, and its toxic history, to address its current usage -- which is predominantly featured on social media.

There is a startling trend of excessive, even dangerous levels of trauma dumping that can be found when searching through tags and spaces for RAMCOA survivors. This is unfortunately not unique to RAMCOA, as oversharing and lack-of-privacy is something that often gets encouraged in some "mental health" online spaces, but often the RAMCOA tags are most notorious to having graphic abuse details - sometimes without appropriate content warning, oversharing of symptoms/alters, and participants in the "trauma olympics" - a phenomenon of individuals sharing visceral content of their lives for the sake of either attention, or a sense of validation for "having it worse" than other people.

These bouts of extensive oversharing can be harmful in a multitude of ways, the most obvious being the distress that reading it causes. There also exists a possibility of people internalizing the graphic details and developing false and/or altered memories of their own abuse. The consequences of this include interpersonal strains and inaccurate medical care, as doctors may come to a false negative diagnosis if exaggeration is present.

The further risks of this extend past those not affected by these traumas as well, as these extremely personal details can be used against the person sharing them. Depending on the extent of what is shared, the results can be incredibly dangerous and put the person back into a cycle of victimization, potentially with the same abuser(s). And without encouragement of proper anonymity or privacy to protect them, these posts then serve to push more victims to give out dangerous amounts of private information under the guise of "sharing their story." Victims should not feel pressured into silence, but encouraging them to speak on their experiences before they're in a safe environment to do so, and not addressing how much information is "too much" for a public platform, is dangerous.

These issues are something that some facets of the "RAMCOA community" refuse to acknowledge. Others will only address them as a strawman to argue that any criticism of the term RAMCOA (or the behaviors of some individuals that use it) is nothing more than an effort to "silence victims, fakeclaim systems and cover up for abusers." Some twist the argument to say that by noting RAMCOA's historical roots in antisemitism, you're accusing everyone who fits under the umbrella of also being antisemitic.

But these issues aren't something to just ignore or throw away. This isn't a case of "separate the art from the artist"; you can't just pretend the history, meaning and intentions behind the term don't matter, or never existed to begin with.

I think it's time for the "RAMCOA community" to reflect on these things, and for the survivors of extreme cases of abuse to create their own term to gather under, rather than continue to cling to the term coined by an organization that has repeatedly fostered the very same types of abuse they claim to educate about and treat.

my temple got a bomb threat this morning (:

torn between not being able to trust goyim to not be antisemitc anymore unless they really prove me otherwise and going "I guess we'll get along" when they find out I'm Israeli and still treat me like a human being

lol i search my url and good to see people are totally normal about me

Jews being alive seems really triggering for you. You should get help.

[mossadspypigeon]

feygaleh saying she appreciated the anon support of her…lmao her anon buds basically called me a hysterical woman pedophile 😂 that was their defense of her.

just heartwarming.

that’s a lot worse than calling out a post she reblogged SHOWING WITH SOURCES THAT THE RHETORIC WAS FROM THE KLAN lmao.

if i was just accusing someone baselessly, i would not have provided sources they didn’t even read. if you’d read them btw? you’d know more about that rhetoric and how to avoid supporting it.

(also david duke verbally supports palestine with the same rhetoric feygaleh does, sooooo lmao oops)

calling jews pedophiles though? please. 😂😂

i said something to her originally bc i wanted to see if she would continue that pro pally fake ass victim shit or if she was a complex human who would a. answer questions and/or b. realize the extremely problematic shit she supported by reblogging. (like reblogging posts by an account named after a group that tortured and murdered holocaust survivors at munich in 1972. aka blackseptember72. screenshotted that fun moment)

this has been a truly unsurprising social experiment.

(i also highly doubt my followers were dogpiling her but okayyyyy lmao)

i do just want to thank @feygaleh for proving that everything i ever thought about the majority of antizionists was correct. i appreciate it 💙

am i done trying to tell you what fucked up shit you support and what hypocrisy you reblog? yes. and not because of the anon hate (i get hate no matter what i post here so who cares). because my point was proven :)

that’s all you did when you sent followers to my inbox to call me a pedophile and cried the victim after you were reblogging posts about me in november (got screenshots of that toooo): proved my point.

[underestimated-heroine]

Having finally watched the hbomberguy video all the way through, I have to say I was more surprised by the illuminaughtii and the internet historian parts. They just hadn't been discussed as much in the online circles I run in. I didn't even know who illuminaughtii was, so I made the truly unfortunate choice to look up her wikitubia...pain. on my eyeballs.

Eager to forget that as quickly as possible, I turned my attention to IH, the only YouTuber I was a little bit familiar with, having watched some of his fanfiction readings only to lose interest in him when I tried the rainfurrest vid (felt validated by hbomberguy's criticism of his dashcon video in this).

One thing really bugged me though--the same thing which bugged hbomberguy: what was with him changing the weight of the rock from 27 lbs to 33 lbs, and 23 to 25? It was just very strange. Hbomberguy postulated that he accidentally switched facts while plagiarizing from different sources.

After sitting with it, sitting with some of the absolutely horrible comments from his fans which hbomberguy showed in his video, and finding this reddit post, I got a hunch.

Yeahhh so those were dog whistles. I'm nigh positive he puts some in all his videos (ex. "animating" Ebony Darkness Dementia Ravenway to have a Star of David necklace instead of a pentagram necklace, as the text says).

I'm someone who treats accusations like this carefully and with skepticism, but i really am fully convinced this time around. There's just too much evidence, he is very much doing this intentionally and is deep into alt-right.

"25" isn't on any list of known dog whistles I've found yet, but I believe it references the 2025 plan.

Within the first minute of scrolling under a search for “Zionism” on TikTok, I saw a “Zionism Explained” video with over 125,000 views. It said that Jews are forbidden by God to have their own state, completely ignoring the fact that the State of Israel is secular. “How did this start? Let’s go back to 1897,” the video instructs. But Jewish history in Israel started thousands of years ago, not in 1897. 

When I searched “history” on TikTok, a woman with the “cute freckles and lashes” filter told me and over 80,000 viewers that, in “the biggest plot twist of the century,” Jews are using their ancestors’ “tragedy to justify and inflict another Holocaust.”

That explainer video is why, when I went to a pro-Palestine rally at Stanford on Wednesday and asked a fellow student what she meant when she chanted “from the river to the sea,” she said that, after admitting she wasn’t knowledgeable about the issue, Palestine must be free from the Tigris River (in Iraq) to the Black Sea (north of Turkey). This student, though she has no sense of geography, is actually chanting for the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea to no longer contain the state of Israel. It is an eliminationist slogan.

I saw a similar message at an off-campus café recently when I walked by a girl whose laptop bore a newly applied sticker with the words “By Any Means Necessary” stamped over an outline of Israel. It’s been less than three weeks since October 7 and already these glib stickers plugging genocide, aimed at my generation, are proliferating. 

A new axis of evil—Big Tech, social media companies, and China—has taken the once-fringe position that Jews are undeserving of a homeland, and is now pushing the idea of their mass slaughter via shoddy animation and beautiful women hosting “explainer” videos. And it’s trickling down onto t-shirts and “cute” laptop stickers. 

It’s cool to promote hate.

My Jewish parents, whose hearts break to hear about what I go through at college, did everything they could so that my brother and I would reject this simplistic, horrible way of thinking. But they can’t change that my little brother’s high school also teaches ideology with T-charts. I doubt his teachers or classmates care to understand that no T-chart can account for why he and his Jewish friends feel sick when they see slogans calling for their deaths.

Why do white people always, every time, without fail, demand "evidence" when people of color speak out about being targets of racist attacks?

It's as if y'all like, never want to listen to anything we have to say and flat out don't want to believe us in the first place, that when it comes down to it, you'd side with your racist white peers at a moment's notice, because our words carry no weight, because you don't actually give a shit about us, and we're nothing but woke points for you to collect to begin with.

Might as well wipe the "Nazis fuck off" from your bios because we don't fucking believe you at this point.
