in light of recent events, i am seeing a lot of posts talking about punching nazis and fighting nazis. and that is good and all, but at the end of the day it is worthless if your activism starts and ends at condemning the nazi salute. antisemitism and nazism are more than sieg heiling and spray painting swastikas on a wall.

if you truly care about nazism, learn about its characteristics. learn what it really means. learn how it has affected and still affects jewish people. learn about antisemitism, about dogwhistles, about stereotypes. learn how to identify it when it's hidden, when it's not coming from right-wing white supremacists who openly hate jews, when it's coming from friends, or relatives, or other left-wing groups. identify what antisemitic beliefs you hold. fight antisemitism even when it is directed at jews you don't like or you disagree with.

and, above everything, support the jewish community. learn about their history, their culture, their customs. love jews more than you hate nazis.

international holocaust remembrance day is next week (january 27th). if you truly want to be an ally to the jewish community, condemning elon musk is not enough.

I hope he sues for libel.

When Bruce is feeling petty he'll arrange an interview with the Daily Planet and specifically request Clark, then spend the entire interview in character as Brucie, refusing to break no matter how many times Clark tells him to knock it off, and then Clark has to write an article on whatever inane topic Bruce could come up with.

Reminder that the lizard alien conspiracy theory is antisemitism

"They drink blood/adrenochrome/feed on fear" - repackaged blood libel.

"They're manipulating the economy and starting needless wars" - repackaged Jewish banker conspiracy theory.

"The reptilian aliens control the media" - repackaged "Jews control the media" conspiracy theory.

"Judaism was created by reptilian aliens in Babylon" - demonizing Judaism by claiming it was created by malevolent aliens.

"Reptilian aliens are creating fake 'vaccines' to harm/control us" - repackaged conspiracy theories about Jews creating dangerous vaccines.

"We're not inciting violence against everyday Jews, we just want to share the truth" - still trying to convert Jews to something else, which itself is antisemitism.

Antisemites really do just pull Talmud citations out of their asses and hope that gentiles don't know how to look it up. If some Nazi goon on twitter says "Sanhedrin 59a: It is not forbidden to murder a gentile because gentiles are like unto beasts," I can just go on Sefaria and look, and see that the Rabbis discuss nothing even close to that (never mind that any Rabbi who asserted such a thing would get his ass beat by later commentators). Nowhere in this debate is the notion that gentiles are like wild animals, or even whether it's permitted to murder gentiles at all, brought up? This conclusion that the Nazi comes to must be made out of whole cloth, or else repeated from someone else who made it out of whole cloth.

maybe stop committing genocide if you don't want the shit rightfully beat out of you. How many Palestinians have you murdered again?

oh shit you got me. i, personally, have killed probably 10,000 palestinians from my home in kentucky. i'm actually personal friends with benyamin netanyahu, too, he comes to our kabbalat shabbat services regularly on his private jet or something. he also always makes sure to bring fresh christian babies' blood for us to use in the matzah we eat every shabbat afternoon. damn, i really thought i was hiding it

palestinians and their supporters want to make up shit that happened to their kids and attack us for “killing children,” when throughout history jewish children were ripped from their parents, enslaved, burnt alive, killed on pikes (stacked on pikes by knights during the crusades and then burnt alive), kidnapped and forcibly converted, raped and shot, forced to marry and raped, burnt alive AGAIN, kidnapped kidnapped KIDNAPPED, never seen by their families again, left to die on an island and FUCKING EATEN BY PREDATORS, shot over pits, murdered in gas chambers, ACTUALLY ATTACKED BY DOGS, stabbed, mutilated.

why don’t you ask what your relatives did to our babies on oct 7? during the farhud and hebron riots? the jerusalem riot? during pogroms? during the holocaust? maybe research what they did to jews during the inquisition? i could go on. there are a million other instances and i’d say 99% of you are guilty by association alone.

fuck you for trying to use OUR PAIN AND OUR HISTORY against us and turning it into a fucking blood libel. don’t talk to us about genocide or killing children. the world has always rejoiced in the abuse and murder of jewish babies. even today you think the murder of our children and the kidnapping is justified.

[notaplaceofhonour]

there is a very cruel irony that, at the same time as people progress a blood libel against jews—that our self-determination is just an excuse to murder children—people are appropriating the figure in jewish tradition that represents infant mortality—a demon that exists to murder children—as a figure of female empowerment & individualistic self-determination

The terror (2018) taking on the complicated ethical dilemma of whether or not to assert that historical figures who had neither the vocabulary nor cultural norms to live as queer were in fact queer in the funniest way possible by saying hey this guy Cornelius Hickey he’s not the real historical figure HMS sailor Cornelius Hickey he actually is an EVIL TWINK who KILLED and IMPERSONATED that guy☝️why? don’t worry about it. historians take notes

Wonder when the person / people who keep taking down my stickers will realize I live within eyesight of my sticker spot and will always be there to put another beautiful Jewish sticker up (I have hundreds) 🥰

Republicans are absolutely 100% manufacturing consent for pogrom-like violence against immigrant communities, specifically Haitians. That is true. Haitians keeping their children home because of increased threats and harassment is a cause for alarm.

But seeing people already call it a pogrom... nobody has been chased out of their home, nobody has been murdered, nobody has been raped, nobody has posed with the bodies for grizzly photo-ops. I don't know, this all fits into the larger narrative of liberal~leftist apathy toward anti-Jewish violence, taking it and washing out its historic Judenhass connotations, and applying the term to anyone even when the conditions haven't been met yet. At the least, there's a lot about historic pogroms that the general American public just don't know about. They're not aware of just how brutal and swift they were. All it takes is a little education, but clearly it took me wanting to become a Jew to even try to learn more about Jewish history so I don't have a lot of faith in the vast majority of gentiles.

It's a complicated mix of emotions where like, it's appropriate to be nervous and scared for these communities, but I find myself annoyed that most of these accounts just don't care when entire Jewish communities are harassed and have libel spread against them. A lot of online leftists certainly didn't care, in fact celebrated, the October 7th pogrom!

Let's hope nothing escalates further, but it is not appropriate to just take terms from Jewish history, not understand the actual implications of these terms, and throw them at the nearest Republican politician. It's just like invoking Hitler. And when you also apply these terms to Jews, I know you are not operating in good faith.

Okay, I know this is going to come off as me holding queer creators to higher standards, given how many urban fantasy tabletop RPGs there are out there whose default premise has the player characters fighting blood-drinking Illuminati cultists, but any time I see a self-labelled Queer Anarchist Revolution RPG with an urban fantasy bent whose default premise still has said queer anarchist revolutionaries fighting blood-drinking Illuminati cultists, I'm struck by a certain sense of, well, clearly you want me to receive this as a politically aware text, but you couldn't do ten minutes of reading up on the origins of the conspiracy theory tropes you're name-checking here? Really? Really?
