#yikes for being antisemitic

[chanaleah]

All zionists should be hung, I don't care, that your your Jewish, so dont pull that "your being antisemitic" shit on me. but your a zionist, so you too, should be hung.

threatening to HANG everyone who supports Jewish self determination (and many who don’t, since you lot like to call any Jew who believes in historical facts a Zionist) is a major yikes.

also maybe “your” not being antisemitic, but you are being antisemitic since your plan would involve the death of upwards of 80% of the global Jewish population.

[pant--eater]

Oh lord thats disgusting......

so the info about Silco being an antisemitic caricature came out. Silco is based on an antisemitic predator. And all Silco haters were calling Silco a predator and pedo since season 1, i think that's exactly what writers wanted which is even worse. I need every Silco hater to rethink their whole mindsets real fucking quick. Silco haters fell for propaganda, this is crazy

[pacing-er]

I know arguing with these people is pointless but lemme just tear them apart real quick as a treat

1. Israel's population is 70% Jewish (over half of which is not Ashkenazi) and 20% non-Jewish Arabs. This is verified by multiple sources with a quick Google search. Idk what your definition of ethnostate is but Israel is clearly doing a bad job at being one.

2. The "Zionist beliefs" which I openly align with are: Israel is the ancestral homeland of the Jews. Israelis don't deserve to die because of the actions of their government or military. 10/7 was an inhumane act of sexual violence and hatred and should be condemned. Hamas needs to release the hostages if they genuinely want a ceasefire (hint: they don't want a ceasefire, almost like they don't have Palestinians best interests at heart and have said so publicly many times). Both Jews and Palestinians deserve to live comfortably in their holy land (that is a belief held by many zionists 😱). None of these things should be controversial to you, and if they are: Yikes! Is the "vile shit" I reblogged in the room with us right now?

3. According to the real definition of Zionism, being that Jews should have a right to self-determination in their homeland, it is not bad to be a Zionist. At its core Zionism is a Jewish word and as such Jews should be the ones to determine its meaning, not ignorant gentiles who just learned that Israel existed a year ago. If you truly want to shit your pants over a bigoted ideology, might I suggest Kahanism? That matches closely with what you seem to think Zionism is, and it is a political movement that was banned in Israel. Let's stop pretending that Zionism is a dirty word when it isn't.

4. That weirdo is most certainly not a Jew and has never observed Jewish holidays or attended Shul. If they had then seeing the word "Israel" would not have caused them to lose their shit the way they did. There is a big difference between being "ethnically Jewish" and being a Jew, someone can be ethnically Jewish and still be a raging antisemite. Tokenizing Kappos who are willing to throw a majority of the world Jewish population under the bus is not a good thing actually. But go off I guess 🤪

Tldr: Get fucked, idiot. Can someone please put me on the Zionist block list so these bitches will leave me alone.

[kick-a-long]

I have two goy friends through my husband. they have a very young child. they are both 'burners' and die hard leftists. we used to agree on politics. i love playing with their kid. she's this big baby who has an assertive personality and a demanding vibe that i love seeing in baby girls. no one will ever tell her who to be or how to live her life.

the problem is that the last time i hung out with them we watched rosemary's baby. now there are a TON of reasons that movie's history has a full YIKES but that wasn't the problem. our mother friend has started to hint that she full on believes in demons and demonic possessions. the father friend has started dropping dog whistles about israeli aid coming from diverted flood relief for carolina and zog type shit without using the word zog. the mother friend even assumed that i was anti immigration because i started wearing my star of david necklace (which i only wore because i thought they were a safe space for jews, since we hang out and watch movies a bunch.)

what do i do here? is the whiff of where they are heading enough for me to avoid them? i already dread the day the conversation about jews, leftist antisemitism, and isreal comes up. i don't want to even get into it with them because it might affect my husband's career if the rumor mill starts up that he's married to a zionist and he might be a zionist too. so here i am again. being jewish becomes a liability unless i lie, pretend I'm the good token jew, or avoid them entirely (which is easy since they have a new baby and have zero time in general.) idk. how many leftists do i need to avoid going forward?

Tw: Antisemitism

court of owls was such an interesting concept cause like, i very much like the fact that owls are bats predators but, the story itself reads like some antisemitic conspiracy theory, it's so bad, the whole secret society thing and the fact that they kidnap children to turn them into talons, like yikes.

and having the court of owls be responsible for major crimes in gotham (death of dick's parents and the death of the wayne parents) feels like such a copout.

like: no the corruption of gotham isn't due to its capitalist nature and its exploitation of the middle and lower classes which in turn makes them sometimes turn to a life of crime, no it's actually because bird people want gotham to flop for....reasons not given?

it's such a stupid antisemitic concept and the fact that it's in gotham knights is just so :/

i have always hated the court of owls, even before i became aware of its antisemitic and problematic implications. back then it always felt like a lazy and cheat device to end the story and it often times felt lacklustre (for the reasons you have explained), especially with how it changes very important deaths in gotham.

bruce's parents being killed by a completely normal guy and found themselves victims to an unfortunate and completely avoidable situation, makes batman's entire code and premise SO interesting. he works to prevent and to protect people from what can be (to him) fixed in gotham.

dick's parents being killed by tony zucco, who worked for maroni, develops gothams history in a way that is SO MUCH BETTER than anything the court of owls did. how gotham is routed in old money and organised crime (or it was, less so much now), that works as a long chain that gets innocent people caught in the crossfire. it's why i particularly dislike the very popular au of talon!dick, or any court of owls!batfam aus.

so even before we get to talk about how the entire concept is offensive and wrong, its already a terrible idea. it was so disappointing to see it be the main storyline in Gotham Knights, but the actual plot of that game leaves a lot to be desired as it is. talia and the owls was my biggest complaint about it. i really need people to forget about it and stop using it in all their projects!!!

in theory i suppose a secret cult in gotham COULD work, and it has before. there are many well done stories about it, but to me, the court of owls is not one of those stories. it has no direction or motive beside the very basic one of ultimate control. boring! as you said, i would appreciate a story focused on class inequalities and corruption in a way that leaves space for actual resolution or at least nuanced storytelling.

its a bit on the nose but 'batman: the cult' and 'batman: legends of the dark knight: conspiracy (#86-88)' are much better alternative read, or the slightly less on the nose but kind of still on topic 'batman & dracula' trilogy. be warned they, unsurprisingly, tackle some very heavy and mature themes!

[anamericangirl]

I recall a fair bit ago I sent an ask regarding antisemitism within Christianity and I feel I should expand on that. Now a fairly popular right wing Christian blogger I see plastered all over most if not all Christian pages on tumblr is a user called jesuspilled. Hmm. Let's take a look at his posts...

Well, that's...certainly something.

Hmm. Interesting.

And I don't even know where to begin with this.

I've also noticed another fairly popular Christian blogger that user jesuspilled shares from frequently and many Christian users share from too called Naturalrights-retard.

Let's see what he posts!

Uh-huh.

That's a yikes from me.

That's not all I found either. I found plenty of equally vile blogs. All Christian and all unashamed of their hatred of Jews. So why has no one called them out on it? I see you and others calling out leftists on antisemitism, rightfully so. But I've yet to see a single Christian call these people out. I thought Christians weren't antisemitic? Why is no Christian stepping up? Wouldn't the Christian thing to do be say "Hey, that's not what Christ represents" or "you're spreading hatred". All I see is silence. If you're calling out leftists, you should be devoting just as much to condemning the antisemitism from your own side too. If these people really do not represent the majority of Christians, I don't see why so many still endorse these two among many others like them.

Are you serious right now? The majority of vile antisemitism is coming from the left right now so I, and many other people who are calling it out, are focusing on where it is most prominent.

But it doesn't count unless we go after two specific meme posters on Tumblr?

Yeah, those posts are awful and I strongly disagree with them but those are two users I consider fairly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. They post memes. Some I agree with some I don't but that's what it's like for the majority of people on Tumblr. I don't call out everyone I disagree with on everything all the time.

Some posts I've made regarding the prominent antisemitism going around have even been direct responses to posts I've seen from the second user you highlighted but I really don't think you're being fair here.

I've seen more christian bloggers calling out antisemitism than I see engaging in it and excuse us for focusing on where it's most prominent and most relevant instead of those two bloggers. The majority of the time when I'm talking about antisemitic things I've seen I don't even know the religion of the person who committed the offense so they could very well be christians.

Yes, antisemitism is bad regardless of what side its on. Those users do not represent the majority of christians. No one Christian does. Some Christians are antisemitic, but antisemitism is not biblical and it's not godly. I've never denied there are antisemitic Christians what I deny is that Christianity is an antisemitic religion because it's not in line with Christ's teachings.

If it means that much to you then fine I can go say something to those blogs specifically but I would hope your impression would be formed more by the fact that most of the christian bloggers (at least the ones I see) are condemning antisemitism rather than engaging in it even if we don't personally address every single antisemitic blogger that crosses our dashboard.

[beardedmrbean]

I know you didn’t see it, but as someone pointed out with Killmonger. The people who often said “fuck Christopher Columbus and white people!” don’t hate imperialism itself. They hate that their ancestors was on the losing side of the wars centuries ago

As I mentioned before they glamorized the Dahomey kingdom of all things, I saw a person online with a PHD said the Ottomans were good to lived under.

A Hindu mutual of mine said that the left constantly glamorized the Mughals because they are brown. People are even defending the Aztecs now.

Like I saw people say that the left only “protected” the Jews because of the Holocaust. Because when you dive into Hitler and the Nazis the mindsets you notice a lot of similarities

“The Jews/White people are the root of all evil and must be wiped out!”

And I think Jews are getting a wake up call with the I/P conflict as now the left antisemitism is in full force

I mean I saw these as the left said in more privileged than career politicians such as Hillary Clinton because I have a dick. But the second they learn in black, I’m more oppressed than a trailer park kid that was pimp out by their parents

And the decolonization thing, hmm strange that never passed to Arab ethnostates

Oh good, you're still here. I'm happy about that _____________

Aztecs, yikes people raised hell here in CA about some of the lessons that involved learning various Aztec prayers, not sure how far if actually got but I hope it didn't get implemented.

Was a whole thing about connecting the Latino students to part of their heritage and CA history as well dumb for one because the Aztecs never made it up this far and for two, the reason Cortez managed to take them out with 300 Spaniards was because of the 30,000 natives that joined in because they were tired of being used for human sacrifices among other things.

Interesting to see the return of moral relativism

It's their culture and it should be respected even if that means this 73 year old dude that died's 19 year old wife will be placed on his funeral pyre with him and burned alive so they can be together in the afterlife (first time I hears a self proclaimed atheist say something along those lines my head spun, was weird. Still is gotta respect their beliefs provided they are using a western religion because reasons)

Colonization thing, I was originally looking for a map of arab migration into North Africa but this kind of thing kept coming up

Finally ran into one that was just Arab migration and it's the same map, which makes sense, Egypt is still full of Egyptians though which is kinda wild, Iran is split between Persians and Arabs, Persians being the indigenous people in that area.

Like I saw people say that the left only “protected” the Jews because of the Holocaust.

This is one of those things I've put a lot of time and thought into.

Short version of my conclusion is that if they were still a stateless people they would likely be one of the darlings of leftist circles.

At least until they started getting to successful, preformative wokeness would be the modern term I guess.

You're not supposed to actually do well because if you do then we can't use you as a prop to show how awful other people are.

Be why Asians got kicked out of the POC club.

And I think Jews are getting a wake up call with the I/P conflict as now the left antisemitism is in full force

Stephen Fry coming out and saying, you know what, I'm Jewish is a good bit for that, seems to be some of the secular Jewish community, even the one's that don't do anything Jewish at all, well didn't since it would seem a bunch of them are having their eyes opened more than they ever thought they would.

So ya that's a thing too.

Circling back to Egypt, wonder what the hotep contingent thinks about the Arabization of North Africa, they're lunatics regardless but I bet there's some funny stuff going on in the we-wuz circles about that. __________

And again, I'm glad to hear from you especially after your previous ask. Keep pushing through world needs self aware people in it.

[jewreallythinkthat]

So I tried to talk to someone I know, and have to see semi-regularly, about how they have talked about Israel and the I/P situation this weekend. It did not go well.

Quotes of how they responded under the cut

For context this person has shared JVP and various other not representative Jewish groups as examples of "good Jews" over the past 4 months. This is the first time I have called the out for it and I'm including two lines of their response below because I was honestly blown away but how rude they were. (It was a long reply and I don't have the energy to disect the whole thing but yikes)

1.

"It’s incredibly condescending especially since I have a Masters in Global Crime and Justice and therefore have done and am capable of doing my own research into this"

Now in their defence, I was unaware of their uni course, however having an MA in global crime and justice doesn't stop you posting utter shite online. Additionally, you may be capable of doing your own research but your repeated posting of JVP shows that clearly you aren't doing actual research and talking to either of the Jews you actually know in real life.

2.

"I understand this is an emotional topic for you but that doesn’t give you the right to jump down my throat and I am not going to engage with you on this any further."

I have several issues with this.

A) As I said before, this is the first time in 4 months I've messaged them. I send what I would describe (and have also confirmed with other people) as a very measured and reasonable message, not aggressive or throat jumpy in the slightest.

B) Israel isn't any more of an "emotional topic" for me than any other country I have family in. While I believe it is important for Israel to exist, safely and securely, I have no control over what the Israeli government does whether I agree with it or not and as such, Israel itself doesn't make me emotional. People spreading things online that lead to an increase in antisemitism and refusal to condemp a group who have declared their intent to commit genocide absolutely does. Being emotional does not mean I cannot be reasonable and infantislising me by implying that if I have emotions about a topic, I cannot discuss it is incredibly... Well... "Condescending" to be honest.

C) refusing to "engage" with a Jew you actually know when discussing Israel because you prefer the Jews online who you have decided are correct is unbelievably insane. I cannot even begin to explain how insulting that is that being called out on what you're saying once leads to refusal to talk about a specific topic at all with someone because you didn't like that they pointed out you were being nasty.

[messinwitheddie]

Dipper "So, this is how we're spending our evenings from now on, hu?"

Mabel "Mom brought him home from work!"

Kimber "He was a promotional prop for our new office space, but now he's my dance partner. So energetic, so fluid!"

Dipper "So distracting."

Mabel "We'll clear the living room before Dib's next Zim update; don't worry."

Kimber "I hope he calls a truce with Zim on earth's behalf and Zim decides to adopt earth as his new home. We'll all become good friends.. I can interview him; exchange recipes and mix cds. Aw!! Then when he starts a big Irken family I can see what their babies look like."

Mabel "Smeets."

Kimber "What?"

Mabel "Irken infants are called smeets."

Kimber "Awww! Little smeetie-beebies."

Mabel "We can adopt one! Or a pair if they're social!"

Dipper "What if smeets projectile puke highly corrosive acid or they're just really ugly?"

Kimber "No baby is ugly. I don't care what kind of fluid it spews out; I want to adopt one and name 'em Babka unless Zim insists they keep an Irken name. If I can't pronounce it, I'm going to be so embarrassed."

Dipper "Are you going to raise it Jewish?"

Kimber "Well, yeah... unless Zim openly objects."

Mabel "Are we allowed to do that, like, on our end? Can an alien convert to Judaism?"

Kimber "Ye....er...? I will do some research and ask some questions."

Dipper "Guys, stop. I was just being facetious. Zim isn't here to make peace with humanity, that's very much established, and he's NOT going to hand you alien baby adoptables. This conversation is too stupid to entertain any further."

Kimber "A human can hope."

Dipper "Just... I don't even know if Dib has an update. Did he message you at all recently?"

Mabel "No. He usually contacts you first. You haven't heard from him?"

Dipper "Not since last week."

Mabel *wincing "Ooh. When he just cut the stream mid update?"

Dipper "Yeah."

Kimber "Poor baby. He got all glassy-eyed and quiet."

Dipper "That was weird."

Mabel "And sad. I wonder what happened?"

Kimber "Did we say something that upset him?"

Dipper "I don't know. I don't think so, but... Wait; Gaz logged on. I'll ask her what's up with him."

Gaz "Dib...? He's been in his room doing Dib things I would rather remain ignorant about."

Dipper "Is he okay?"

Gaz "I... guess so? Why?"

Dipper "He hasn't contacted me or replied to me at all since last week. I even hacked into the swollen eyeball site. He's been idle for days."

Gaz "That is kind of weird. Wait, you hacked the swollen eyeball? Why not just make an account?"

Dipper "I'm banned."

Mabel "What?"

Dipper "Not me specifically; The entire Pines family is blacklisted by the swollen eyeball."

Gaz "What did you DO? They haven't even banned Dib yet and he's a nuisance."

Dipper "It wasn't me; my zadie Shermie used to have a lot of heated arguments with some of the elder mods in the mid 80's. There were a lot more antisemitic conspiracy theories circulating in the SE back then, from what dad told me."

Gaz "Yikes."

Dipper "Yeah... Anyway, um, you haven't spoken to Dib or seen him come out of his room at all?"

Gaz "Not in past few days."

Dipper "And that didn't seem concerning to you?"

Gaz "That's not unusual or anything. We try to give each other generous amounts of personal space in this house. I just assumed he was obsessively going over his stupid Zim research or editing the next update with you."

Dipper "No, I haven't heard from him. We just wanted to make sure he was ok. He seemed really upset last time we face timed, like he was about to cry or break down or something."

Gaz "About what?"

Dipper "No idea. I was hoping he said something to you."

Gaz "If he did, I wasn't listening."

Dipper "That's kind of shitty."

Gaz "I'll spare you an emasculating comeback while I carry us through this mini boss battle."

Dipper "Could you check to see if he's alive? Tell him to text me when he feels like it."

Gaz "Now?"

Dipper "Preferably."

Gaz "But we almost reached the save point."

Dipper "Don't you think your brother's well-being takes priority?"

Gaz "No."

Dipper "That's really shitty."

Gaz "Says someone who never smelled Dib's room before."

Kimber "Gazlene?! Go tell your brother to come downstairs and floaty screen talk with us right now, little miss! Be a good sister. Tell him you love him and we miss him and we're here for him."

Gaz "Is she trying to guilt trip me too?"

Dipper "Welcome to the family."

Gaz "Fine. After we reach the next save point; Only because YOU care. But I won't be pleasant about it. Actually-- Hold on... Todd? Todd!"

Squee -startled mid-snore snort!- "What?! What's burning?!"

Gaz "Nothing yet. Do me a favor. Go tell Dib he needs to call Dipper. The whole Pines family is worried sick about him apparently and they're trying to make it my concern."

Squee "Um...ok. Sooo, the last time I went into his room, he told me to fuck off and threw a bucket of chicken bones at my head. Not putting myself through that again. Sorry..."

Gaz -irritated growl- "Fucking serious?"

Squee "Sorry, but, I scrub the bathroom twice a week. You go deal with Dib."

Gaz "Damnit..."

A continuation of this dialogue.

[zhooniyaa-waagosh]

I hadn't seen much, if any, antisemitism on my dash. I'd only seen you talking about it. But then I came across a post about an actor who is making "zionism is sexy" stickers and OH BOY. The notes on that post are full of antisemitism. 🙃

"Well of course he's a zionist, he's Jewish" being the most common sentiment. Yikes.

I can't say I fully understand the ins and outs of this conflict (which is why I've stayed away from talking about it on my own blog), but statements like that seem pretty antisemitic to me.

GOD YEAH THAT POST. Literally any post about Jewish celebrities has been absolutely vile.

I'm glad you haven't seen much otherwise; I've been unfollowing people left and right for weeks now, especially a lot of Native mutuals that I really did trust and respect before they started spewing antisemitic bullshit. It's just been really heartbreaking and frankly scary, especially since I have plans to convert eventually (when I'm able; being housebound and poor in the rural US sucks lmao) and now I'm faced with how many people would reject me from my own communities for that.

I don't really have the best understanding of the conflict either, because it is just incredibly complex, but I know that I strongly relate to Jewish struggles and experiences as an indigenous person and this flood of antisemitic hate and talk of "Zionist" conspiracies is absolutely unacceptable. We can support Palestinians in their battle for safety and rights in the home without denying Israeli people and Jews the same thing. We can hold governments accountable for their crimes without holding the citizens and diasporic communities responsible too. The fact that we can understand that with American citizens, with Russian citizens, with the citizens of any other country but we suddenly forget it when talking about Israel is incredibly suspicious to me personally.

[max--phillips]

Not to be like, a bitch and make callout posts (I don’t really think that is what this is, I’m mostly just complaining and considering I’m complaining on an entirely different platform she probably won’t see… Eh. Also I like being a shit stirrer sometimes.)

So, there’s this tiktoker I followed, BeckTheFeministLawyer, who recently made a video praising the Satanic Temple in Tennessee for starting an after school program in contrast of some Christian after school programs, which is awesome, we love that. 100% on board so far. The Satanic Temple is really cool for doing shit like that. But, then she starts talking about how “all religions are cults—yes, even yours” and immediately alarm bells are going off. She then talked about how any organization that demands your blind faith is a cult, and bad. People who think that way simply don’t sit right with me, especially given the fact that claiming Judaism is a cult is like, historically an antisemitic thing iirc. So, hoping to have a somewhat constructive conversation because she hasn’t said anything overtly inflammatory yet, I make a comment.

(I will provide screenshots at the end, but because TT is the way it is, it doesn’t display comments in chronological order, so I’m going to put a transcript here.)

My first comment read: A huge part of a lot of Jewish practices is questioning God.

She responds: Agreed, however- that god is said to be in control and working within a divine plan that faith demands you don’t question.

Me: That suggests you don’t agree, then. I would encourage you to look into why insinuating Judaism is a cult is antisemitic.

Her: I’m anti-religion generally.

Me (this comment was broken into two parts due to the character limit): And that’s fine. But especially now, with everything going on, checking antisemitism is very important. I realize your video isn’t about Palestine, but being that it’s the main topic on everyone’s minds right now, it’s important we all make sure we aren’t adding fuel to a related fire that’s bad for everyone.

Her: I hear your point and you’re barking up the wrong tree on that.

Me (again, split for character count): Respectfully, what do you mean by that? I am not asking you to abandon your beliefs, only reflect on how you might inadvertently be upholding a system of oppression that has affected an entire ethno-religious group for millennia.

Her: Cool.

At this point I drop it because, like, it’s the internet and I know it’s not going anywhere from there. But… yikes, lady, could you be any more clear in your antisemitism? And that doesn’t even get into how she probably feels about like, Islam or more insular cultural practices. Anyway. Here are the screencaps, under the cut bc I don’t wanna take up any more of your dashboard:

[creature-wizard]

(religious abuse)

When I was a child I was raised christian. My family stopped going to church early on in my life but my mother was a strict believer. She taught my brothers and I herself and told us that aliens were real, angels were on earth and the end days could come any day now.

I lived in fear for a majority of my life, not wanting to see the end of days. I additionally had shaky trust of those around me because of the belief that not every human was actually a human being and that I could be being tricked.

Particularly the concept that aliens were some sort of demon thing freaked me out. I have no fucking idea where this came from, do you have any idea what could’ve inspired these sorts of insane teachings?

I have a feeling it’s something antisemitic or racist in origin but the ‘angels and devils on earth’ applied to everyone.

Oof, I'm sorry you had to grow up with that. Apocalypse anxiety, plus a belief that some people were actually demonic beings? Yikes.

"Aliens are demons actually" isn't an uncommon belief among the conspiracist Christian right. Basically as soon as people started reporting alien encounters, Christians had to contextualize these reports into their worldview somehow, and the sorts of Christians who were inclined to believe that demons were everywhere decided they were demonic entities.

"Some people are actually demons in disguise" is another one of those things you find among the more unhinged conspiracist Christians. These people are really fond of dehumanizing others.

So like I couldn't tell you where exactly your mom was getting all of this, but I can say that it's pretty common fare among certain far right conspiracy theorists.

[adulting-sucks]

So…..if you’ve spent time on Tumblr calling out a person for her racist, fatphobic and antisemitic behavior for months and then you comment under said person’s newest IG post about her being the cutest, you’ve told me all I need to know about you.

Yikes. In addition to that there were other problematic things that they participated in towards her so it takes while lot of nerve to comment on anything of hers like none of that happened. People have no shame and that is so weird to me.

Yeppers. They either see nothing wrong with her and what she and her soulmates peddle, or they just don’t care. Either way, not people I want to be associated with….

[hellsbellschime]

The amount of celebs outing themselves now as zionists… yikes

I mean, that's not a great look, but I think people underestimate how Israel-positive the mainstream US media is. And obviously not all celebs live in LA, but LA has a huge Jewish population, so running across someone who is specifically anti-Israel is pretty uncommon. Obviously it could just be my personal experience, but up until a few years ago I never really met anyone who called themselves anti-Zionist who wasn't basically just trying to be a "PC" antisemite, so for people who just have a kind of osmosis-fueled cultural awareness of the situation I'm not super surprised to see them support Israel. It's not necessarily a good excuse, but the propaganda plus the extra likelihood of having some kind of personal connection to the Jewish community here probably drives a lot of that, and I'm guessing a lot of people aren't aware of the literal atrocities being perpetrated against Palestinians because it's something that the American media obviously doesn't report on a lot.

[youthincare]

Bruh you're 29 and openly admitting you're ignorant of the history of a region you profess extremist beliefs about? Yikes. Sorry to have to tell you this, but you very much are antisemitic.

being anti zionist doesn't make me anti sematic. yes i am 29

[gaybd1]

Chris watches the muppet Christmas carol for the first time

full disclosure I have been imbibing alcohol as I tend to do for these things lol

I know this thing slaps and I actually have no idea how I’ve never seen this, I didn’t grow up in a particularly muppets-appreciating household I guess??

I don’t have the clearest memory of how the story goes aside from major plot points either so this should be fun

oh no someone’s being stolen

god my immediate reaction is we need more of these and we should just make a muppets version of every literature classic

Charles dickens, that guys gonzo right? I swear I know most of their names bc I watched Sesame Street as a kid

Right? All these guys are in Sesame Street?

ooooo the marleys, don’t remember the dead marleys, how intriguing

Ohhhhh it’s a MUSICAL?!?! the SMILE that just came across my face…

I know who plays Scrooge but I do love that we haven’t seen his face yet. Adds to the … worldbuilding? lol. And mystery

omg this is deep I’ve never considered Scrooge a victim of anything

I’m sorry I’m like five minutes into this and losing my mind at how much of a masterpiece this is

Ah face reveal. I’m sorry I’m like a huge Michael Caine stan

Wait what if he killed the marleys like as far as I remember that’s not what happened but WHAT IF HE DID

Okay real question is Scrooge canonically Jewish bc I’ve always had kind of an antisemitic caricature vibe about him which then would actually totally excuse his not celebrating Christmas

These bookkeepers are great

Fred lol

I do get an angry repressed gay vibe from Scrooge maybe he’s be less grumpy if he got a bf

Jacob and Robert Marley were OBVIOUSLY gay married and Scrooge wanted to be their third but never got up the guts to make it happen

Also they probably loved Christmas and so….

Okay I mean I see now that they are muppets and he is not so uh

I also see that they clearly do not love Christmas

What’s with the chains

Oh yeah I remember

Anyway yeah that scene w those guys was creepy

Where’s miss piggy, man ain’t she a muppet

I love the like narrator voyeurism going on

Omg tHIS GHOST IS CREEPY AF

It’s been a few minutes and I still don’t want to look at her

I’ve always been obsessed w how he did all this traveling in his nightie lol

His name is ebenezer so why do his school friends have such top-10 English names like Michael … more evidence for my theory…

Oh there’s a girl … yeah right…

“I love you” “you did once” OOF yeah he must be fully gay now I see the way he’s looking at her

I don’t care about this song at all move on please

And not a fan of old Scrooge singing with her

I’m sorry not to be heterophobic but this song seems to disrupt the whole vibe of the movie anyway

Next ghost is less creepy at least

I like the weird amusement Scrooge has about him

This song is good

The happiness Scrooge is slowly starting to show aww

this Santa Christmas ghost is definitely high off something

Oh yay Kermit cratchit is married to miss piggy. And their kids are so cute

God bless us, every one!

Wtf Santa’s all old now??

Lol remember having to start your life again every morning and dying every night

WTF WHY IS THIS NEXT GHOST SO SCARY TOO I’m starting to realize why my parents didn’t show this to me when I was a kid lol I was such a baby about creepy shit and STILL AM

And WTF IS THIS SPIDER THING idk if I like this movie so much anymore lol

Really love how accurate and faithful this is and it’s FOR KIDS/families

A Christmas Carol is actually about the journey of accepting one’s queer identity. In this essay I will

But it also really does feel like converting that poor Jewish man to Christmas-ianity omg I’ll have to check up on that

That turkey got a FAT ASS DAYUM

Buying the bookkeepers coal like I know they asked for it and it’s useful but it’s actually so funny

Fred’s wife looks 15 years old yikes

Why would Scrooge fuck w bob like that lmaooo

okay yeah that was cute though I’m glad I saw it
