And I am saying this as an atheist Jew!! Something that the capital A Internet Atheists constantly tell me is impossible, by the way, because they are apparently the arbiters of all religion despite their cavernous ignorance.

The idea that at their worst Athiests are merely annoying and can’t be bigots is so absurd it’s laughable. I don’t encounter the Alt Right on here but I do CONSTANTLY encounter atheists who fucking hate Jews and use their “I don’t like any religion” bullshit to hide their antisemitism behind.

... Maybe. But behind the annoyance of the atheist there is typically much less bigotry, authoritarian tendencies, tax evasion, science denialism, closeted sexuality, etc. October 11, 2025 at 3:50 PM

Hey remember that time an Atheist spent an entire week on here calling for the ethic cleansing and complete elimination of Jews because they said it was the only way to fight Israel?

Atheists refuse to account for the ethno-part of Jewish ethno-religion when they whine about ending all religions.

Essentially they haven’t left behind their religion. Atheism simply replaces it. They cling to all the same behaviors just minus a belief in a deity.

Not to mention all the terrible behaviors that they themselves criticize “believers” for. All they’ve actually done is left behind belief in god while clinging to literally everything else.

The issue is that people are pointing out the generalizations you are making about Judaism (and honestly a lot of other religions) are factually incorrect. The issue with you spreading these factually incorrect statements is that they have historically been used to murder us (ie Jews) for centuries

🙄 *sigh* The same logic applies. You are still denigrating all of Rabbinic Judaism when you do this. Read the thread.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

BARI WEISS: the Constitution is trying to cancel President Trump

DT: Like, the actual Constitution, the one from the Library of Congress

THE NYT: Gov. Pritzker days Trump is suffering from dementia - but is there any evidence of that?

DT: I rip pieces of the Constitution off to wipe my butt.

DONALD TRUMP: we are violating the constitution

SCOTUS: the executive actually has a lot of leeway

DT: No, I mean we're straight up violating the bejeezus out of it

EZRA KLEIN: Trump violates the Constitution in the right way

DT: I use it for toilet paper

*sigh* I swear to HaShem, I post feel like I end up posting the link to this thread at like 3-4x per week.

When we make those kinds of assumptions, it only grows the divide between my people and the Palestinians—something that puts us in harms way. We will not be safe until Palestinians and Jews can peacefully live side by side and that won’t happen if we keep throwing up barriers.

A) the pastor isn’t the one wearing the keffiyeh—that’s just some random in the background
B) As a Jew, not all folks who wear keffiyehs want to harm me or my ppl. The keffiyeh is a sign of Palestinian solidarity which does NOT always mean anti Zionism or have antisemitic undertones.

this needs to be on every channel and the stills and story on every front page. wtf.

Just constantly bring up how ICE shoots unarmed priests. Have press conferences asking Trump if he supports shooting priests. Ask Vance where "thou shalt shoot priests" is written in the Bible. Hammer them with that constantly

You can offer words of support but anything beyond that is really not for you bc it doesn’t CONCERN you. And talking about how you’ve “experienced racism from mentally unstable black women” is so fucking problematic I don’t even know where to begin. So just stop. You’re only making things worse.

Two things. First, as a white person, in America (or ANY western nation), you CANNOT experience racism. To experience racism there must be a power dynamic at play and since white ppl hold the power, we cannot experience racism. Full stop.

Second, this is not our lane. We have no business here /1

I often wonder how much longer Blue states will tolerate it. I don’t think we are that far away from a collection of states announcing a cessation.

Dear Team Paramount: I think we can all agree that the temperature of our nation's social discourse feels higher than ever. Too often, the space once reserved for thoughtful dialogue has been consumed by partisan division and hostile disputes. If we are to move forward, we must find our way back to the ideals that shaped both our country and civilization itself: open exchange of ideas, vigorous yet respectful debate, and a genuine regard for the beliefs and traditions of others. This challenge extends to the media. While it was founded with the mission of informing the public and fostering discussion on the issues of the day, too often it has become a platform that amplifies the very partisanship tearing our society apart. George Washington warned that the primary danger in politics is partisanship. Today, that danger extends far beyond politics - threatening the fabric of our communities. When we reduce every issue to "us vs. them" or "my way vs. the wrong way," we close ourselves off from listening, learning, and ultimately growing, both as

individuals and as a society. I don't pretend to have a solution to this challenge. But I do believe we each have a responsibility to do our part. At Paramount, we have both a unique opportunity and an obligation as stewards of one of the most iconic and respected news organizations in the world. We are challenging ourselves to do better - recognizing that we have the ability to reach a broad audience and demonstrate constructive, respectful, and bipartisan dialogue in our own work. Our mission is clear: to ensure that this global platform remains a place where people can seek the truth, gain understanding, and engage with the facts. That is our purpose. With this in mind, I am excited to share that The Free Press is joining our Company. Since its launch just five years ago, The Free Press, under co-founder Bari Weiss' leadership, has built one of the most dynamic news organizations in the country, one that resonates with audiences of all ages and perspectives. Guided by their core values of truth, balance, and an exchange of ideas, the team has made it their mission to help restore public trust in the news - and they are delivering real results. Their dedication to independent and fearless reporting has won the devotion of some 1.5 million readers - more than 170,000 of them who are now paid subscribers - an extraordinary achievement in such a short time.

As part of this acquisition, Bari will become editor-in-chief of CBS News. She brings a passion for reaching broad audiences through rigorous, fact-based reporting and a relentless commitment to amplifying voices from all corners of the spectrum. This, combined with her restless desire to build, believe, and innovate, makes her a perfect fit for our storied news division. In these early days working together, I've seen the Bari who you will get to know: a person of incredible energy, judgment, and perception for what will resonate with audiences. Working alongside our exceptionally talented colleagues at CBS News, she will help ensure that our reporting remains relevant, accessible, and - most importantly - trusted in this new era for American media. I am confident that, in the coming years, CBS News and The Free Press will make big strides and be at the forefront of a much-needed transformation in how news is gathered, reported, and delivered. Our goal is to broaden our reach while solidifying our position as a leading voice in American journalism. Every step of the way, trust and facts will remain our guiding principles as we work every day to strengthen and deepen our connection with our audience. As a news organization, we serve a vital role in the lives of Americans from every background and belief, and we embrace that responsibility with the utmost care, integrity, and purpose. We aim to do our part in helping rebuild a society where our shared humanity unites us and where

We are here to achieve great things together. So please join me in extending a warm welcome to Bari and the entire team from The Free Press as they join us on that journey. Let's go! David

Bari Weiss wouldn’t know fact or truth if it hauled off and smacked her upside her bigoted head. I give her less than 6 months at CBS News before she “quits” and plays the victim card.

It’s doesn’t matter the intent. The use of this particular “turn of phrase” (ie referring to “bad people” as “Pharisees”) is actively harmful to us as Jews. See attached. bsky.app/profile/iris...

It is exactly this sort of rhetoric that leads to dead Jews

Given what we know about the motivations of the attacker in Manchester I feel compelled to say for my personal safety:

I do not support the Israeli government’s actions in Palestine, and I have never gloated about atrocities

➡️ 383,000 dead in South Sudan (2013–2018)
➡️ 377,000 dead in Yemen since 2014
➡️ 300,000 dead in Ethiopia’s Tigray war (2020–2022)
➡️ 230,000 dead in Syria since 2011
➡️ 187,000 civilians killed in Iraq since 2003
➡️ 100,000 dead in Sudan since 2023

No UN protests. No campus encampments. No flotilla

I need to put this into a meme generator or something so I can easily whip it out whenever the topic comes up bc this is honestly the BEST way I’ve heard this argument stated. You’re not making a statement or doing some performance piece—you’re making a calculated decision to bring abt the most good

I have heard this phrased in so many different ways, but “not performance art” has to be the best. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about morals it’s not about values and it’s not about the marginalized. It’s just a performance.

Hi everybody I am a defamation lawyer and I just wanted to let you know that after reading this whole thread I no longer believe in the rule of law or society or written language and I am going to throw my head away
