Okay don't do this. Don't post fake shit like this. This is the stuff that is actually anti-Semitic and, in a perverse way, actually treats Israel as more exceptional then it actually is, a specter of vacuous anti-culture with no history that can therefore conveniently be derided and dismissed.

Just learned a new bit of recent slang: aura farming. It means β€œtrying to look cool.” It’s related to a slightly earlier bit of slang, the use of β€œaura” to mean β€œcharisma.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Remember 2016 when Trump’s medical release said that he β€œshowed only positive results,” because Trump wrote the letter himself and was too stupid to know that meant he had every disease?

When I was a kid, my family went to an Italian place near us which, once we were there, they started to speculate in hushed tones was maybe a Mafia joint. I piped up in piercing kid-voice, audible several tables away, β€œWhat's the Mafia?”

I think that Democrats winning more elections would be extremely beneficial on net, even if what it took to get there was standing firm on liberal values, demonstrating some spine, and refusing to throw trans people under the bus.
