Correct

Correcting along the axis of anti/philosemitism but not along the axis of saying weird shit about us

Kinda reminds me of an uber driver I had in San Fran who told me “Oh I love Jews, you all have so much money it’s great!”

It’s so funny because at the time (before he was even born), people were doing the very same ”why don’t you talk about other countries, what is your obsession about us” thing about South Africa that he (and so many others) does about Israel www.csmonitor.com/layout/set/a...

Earworm: catchy lil tune 😊✨💃

A page that looks like a scan from an old game magazine. A circular graphic contains a watercolor illustration of an enthusiastic wormlike dinosaur thing with a smiling yellow star and a worried looking blue diamond. A box in the lower half contains an illustration of a treasure box with a funny face, decorated with white crosses. In front of it are a green potion, a gold coin, and a silver key. There are also 2 game screenshots. One is of a title screen, featuring the dinosaur like worm, and one is of the same character standing in a little stonework house before a blue spheroid face, which is speaking. The text on the page is one continuous statement and does not relate to the images. It says: Header: Wondering how young I’ll die. Featured text, next to round illustration: We now take it as granted that the western empires will collapse. Title screen screenshot: In a real sense, it has already happened. House and dialog screenshot: we were born into a dead world. Text below screenshots: and now decay begins. We, having prepared all our lives for a future that can never arrive, feel lost. We must go on living. But what will life be, and how long can it last? America has become a nation of endless plagues

20 minutes of new music. mostly sad drones made with tape loops, guitar/violin/harmonium, and modular synth. Play it very loudly please.

The democratic electoral strategy is predicated upon maintaining fascism as a viable threat to their electorate. No positive policy positions are required as long as the other choice is actively evil.

There is no incentive to ever fix anything, move the Overton window leftwards — it weakens them

Comrades, do get it into your heads, this ‘lesser evil’ which
Year after year has been used to keep you completely out of
the fight
Will very soon mean having to stomach the Nazis

‘When The Fascists Kept Getting Stronger’
Bertolt Brecht, Poems of the Crisis Years 1929-1933

I keep one of my menoros wax coated and add to it each year.

Is it a fire hazard? Yes.

But it’s also very cool looking!

I’m hardly a fundamentalist. I live a pretty normal life, and I don’t think most people need to live the way I do. Jews have had a presence in Israel for thousands of years, we don’t need an ethnostate to continue.

You seem to enjoy projecting onto others your insecurities. I wish you healing.

Try talking to a person from either group and you’re met with extremely irrational rhetoric — there is just a completely different world they live in

Has anyone written a piece making the comparison between how being a TERF and being a hardcore Zionist cause similar types of brainrot?

It feels unique to a few specific reactionary ideologies and the only cause I can really identify is that they are in clear opposition to consensus reality.

I never said otherwise, but at least I’m the type of insane person to think murdering children is bad :)

We’ve lived in diaspora for two thousand years, and will continue to until we merit Moshiach HaMelech. I don’t need a state that claims to act on my behalf to secure my right to exist.

No don’t worry this person is on some weird embarrassing “my Jewish identity requires ethnic cleansing” shit, definitely a kook.

Then engage with our music, culture, secular traditions, whatever. Your lack of ability to understand your Jewish identity without a corresponding nationstate is deeply embarrassing, sibling.

Nobody here is calling you Israeli. You’re the one making the connection.

The colonizer/indigenous relationship is relative and one can occupy both spaces.

We don’t have power over Israel but we do have the power to support or not support it. You’ve made your choice.

Also, indigeneity is a relative term, useful when discussing settler-colonial projects. Anyone who denies we come from Eretz Yisroel is a fool, but it was the will of heaven that we be dispersed to spread knowledge of Hashem to the nations.

The Palestinians have a more temporal claim to indigeneity

I’m deeply mistrustful of any diaspora Yidn who decide that the most essential part of Yiddishkeit is defending a nation state against justified claims of genocide.

Calm down and study some Torah my friend.

Hey what’s up, I’m also a diaspora Jew. Israel’s actions have made me feel increasingly unsafe due to how it reflects on me. I hold the land as sacred, but the state is a colonial project that I do not find defensible.

Also the person you’re arguing with hasn’t tied you to Israel, that’s your doing

We live in an era where people who have never gone 100% on any creative project hear that AI can get them 90% of the way and think the future is nigh, not understanding that creatives spend their careers honing the skills required to navigate the last 10%.

If I go it’ll probably just be me writing an angry but pleading letter at the Rebbe again fair warning

Should I go to the Ohel in the next few weeks?

Even number of likes: no
Odd number: yes

0 is even.

Can Bluesky be used to derive hashgacha pratis? Let’s see!

Oh I’m stealing this one

Yeah I was like “oh the OU is transphobic? Yeah that tracks!”

Any other Jews having to take a moment to be like “not the hechsher” when so many people are talking OU
