Legitimately, I think the people who say shit like this are possibly even more Americacentric than MAGA types. The US did not invent evil. The idea that it is is incoherent nonsense. But then again the people who say this shit think antisemitism is fake anyway

good shabbos

playing Dragon Quest III HD remake. they upgraded the graphics to such a point that i got lost on the way from Reeve to Aliahan 😳 well, nice to have a game that's both new and not new

Antisemitism is way older than European settlement of the Americas.

I think excessively lachrymose (I feel fancy) history of the Jews in Europe etc is overdoing it, but my God, Europeans didn't need colour-based racism to inspire their ideas about Jews.

May I politely encourage you to reconsider this framing. It is inaccurately stated and suggests consistent and strong linkages that do not exist. The Nazis did not “get their ideas” from confederate laws. Antisemitism and anti-Jewish laws existed in Europe long before the Confederacy…

If you’ve heard the “the Nazis got their ideas from the US segregationists” I beg you to please stop. This is both false and it minimizes historical European antisemitism in a misguided attempt to emphasize the nature of US anti-Black racism. It’s horrific without comparison to Nazism.

I've seen this idea so many times this week and the absurdity, to a Jew with even a minimum sense of history, is hard to describe (Kweli, and even more so his defenders, kept doing this)

Walmart loves firing trans people who have the audacity to be harassed by their coworkers.

It’s never about actually protecting workers from unfair punishment; it’s about normalizing racist abusiveness in public

Yeah they literally just suspended a TA at OU for giving an F to a bigoted screed but the Atlantic thinks it’s more important that the Klansgurl Karen gets to keep screaming and crotch-grabbing at customers on the clock

This feels like the thinnest imaginable excuse to scold the left. The primary enemy of workers in America is the political right, not online progressives who were justifiably mad at a lady for being racist.

Nothing precludes you from believing that all workers should get fair wages and a generous social safety net and also that gutter racism toward a customer should get you fired. I swear to god they are making up this author to make leftists look stupid.

Lol the Atlantic are pretending this is adherence to seem deep principle, but you guys only write this shit when it’s a white racist who gets fired. You ignore it when it’s a trans person, a person of color, etc.

Person: [removes pants, defecates, screaming racial slurs] The Atlantic: "is this the future of the intellectual dark web"

As usual with this magazine, the author concedes throughout that the point he's making is dumb as hell.

Jews: Being Jewish and doing Jewish things in the temple. Jesus, a Jew: Causes a scene at the temple. Christians, kissing Roman ass: Jews suck, yeah, that’s it. Non-Christians, for some reason: Those damn Jews must have been greedy and corrupt.

if god has 10 sephirot, emanations and we are made in god's image then we all have 10 sephirot. what are yours?

Now that the GOP is attacking him as being too pro trans, Newsom is pushing back. Hmm.

Be careful who you dehumanize and what permission structures you create for bigotry. Because social media isn't a silo, and judges and attorneys read and internalize what people say. It's impossible to dehumanize anyone without dehumanizing all of us.

It's a pattern I've long noticed and despised. The racist comments people make about Black people being unqualified or dangerous, the transphobic comments about trans people being predators, the ableist comments about disabled people being lazy, they all end up in our laws.

The comments people make on social media about Palestinians being an invented people, or about prejudice against them not being a real thing, find their way into briefs and motions filed by discriminatory landlords and cops and then into legal opinions signed by judges.

I don't talk much about the Palestinian rights cases that I'm doing. (Yes, I have cases related to the genocide, and discrimination against Palestinian Americans. Most are pro bono. People get evicted and arrested just for being Palestinian.) But I will say this.

"bsky doesn't have shadow banning"... what is their incentive to tell the truth about that?

This is a monument that, in and of itself, seems completely innocuous and even praiseworthy. And yet, knowing the history leading up to it, it is part of a campaign to construct a national myth of "Every Pole suffered under Nazism and protected Jews; no Poles collaborated" which we know to be false.

Impeachment sure would focus those lasers a lot more, buddy

kid rock really figured out how to make his fifteen minutes last decades by being a far-right grifter

The bottom line from Amnesty's new report. None of this justifies Israel's crimes. None of Israel's crimes justify this.

I disagree with musk being considered an "architect of AI" though: like the NVidia guy at least makes chips. musk just sits there and tells other people "make the AI more based!!! use the forbidden words!!!"

More research showing a thing the GC movement wishes to deny trans people, in this case respecting their name and pronouns, is a thing that improves mental health and could prevent a death by suicide, yet still they persist.

No.

you came up with the idea that you were the real Jews like 50 years ago, ashkenazim have still been the real Jews for longer then you have

"ashkenazim converted in the 8th century" even if that were true it'd still give us 12 centuries on your "true israelites" movement

there is no pendulum. it's just people fighting really hard
