Yesterday, a neo-nazi killed 2 people and injured others in a gay bar in Bratislava. He published a manifesto blaming lgbtq+ community. women and Jews on his twitter account before the act. It was a terroristic hate crime. But none of the Eastern European media uses the term terrorist because he was a white male. Speak up against hateful rhetoric at all times, don’t stay silent.

i’m not gonna give either of you the attention you want but fyi: preaching how i’m “woobifying slaveowners” before saying “i hope taika waititi gets impaled on a spike” & weaponizing the palestinian flag alongside the phrase “kill yourself!!!!” is all painfully ironic and doesn’t exactly help your cause, dear anons. 💕

Warning hate speach

I’ve just seen this in my notifications! (Censored)

@staff please can you do something about this blog? Delete their account and reveal their location!

I’m telling you right now this isn’t an real nazi but a Zionist trying to associate “free Palestine” with hating all Jewish people. That’s not what that means and not even Hamas want that.

This is the same tactics that bigots and fascists use to discredit the LGBT community. They make up fake social media accounts and try to associate something good with something bad. They want all LGBT people to be considered child molesters and they want anyone who criticises Israel to be considered a nazi.

If you see this please report this blog, find anyone who has reblogged from this account and report them too. I wouldn’t be surprised if this blog was started by Israel itself because they want everyone to believe that any criticism of Israel and their ongoing genocide is antisemitic.

Israel’s lies use the Jewish community as a human shield, don’t let them win.

Israel does not speak for the Jewish community and the Jewish community does not support Israel’s genocide.

I don't Have to make a statement on random social media, but, Im just gonna say it, so if you follow me & disagree, you can fuck off.

1400 people were murdered. Brutality.

There were & are threats to many jewish communities and specific locations around the world, including mine, where members of our various shuls had to stay outside during what's supposed to be one of the happiest days of the year because there were threats of violence & murder against these shuls, and they had enough security training to protect people.

People all over are cheering for it, for these deaths, or both-sides-ing, or bringing up whats going on with palestinians during this, like they didnt die during this too. Hamas is a horrible group of disgusting, bigoted, murderers & rapists who will use anyone and anything as a shield so they can continue what they are doing. And trying to justify thousands of rockets landing on a country with ~1400 people murdered, and more injured and taken hostage, is wrong.

And yet, I'm unsurprised. Thats not to say I'm not devastated, or worrying, or angry, I AM. I've just grown up with the knowledge & expectation of this happening, of people thinking these things and wanting to do these things.

Last thing: if you are pushing any random jewish person and blaming them for anything the israeli government does, Think about why you are so eager to blame people for anything their government does when its jews & israel, and yet would never do that with anyone else.

Thats it.

Hey you know that Wizarding game, that’s been called “Harry Potter and the Protocols of Zion” due to the whole plot where extremely antisemitic (like taken from nazi propaganda) caricatures kill a kid, and are rebelling because people keep stealing their stuff?

Yeah, uh...It gets worse. Way worse.

So this image has been going around social media. And hoo boy.

To run over:

-A horn used by goblins aka “totally not Jews” which would be a shofar. A shofar for those who don’t know is a special horn used during the High Holidays aka the weeks leading up to the new year in the Jewish Calender, to lead in the New Year, and on Yom Kippur. There are Jews who don’t get to synagogue all year EXCEPT for Yom Kippur. So. Holy item for holy days.

-”generally annoy witch and wizards” The shofar being an “irritant” to Christians is libel used against Jews to vilify us.

-So, fun history I got to learn today. 1612 was the year of horrifying pogroms aka genocidal slaughter of Jewish people in Germany. It’s called the Fettmilch Uprising. This date being used for Goblin rebellions is NOT a coincidence.

-Why DO these Goblins rebel so much btw? Could it be, that the WIzarding Kind teaches history in a way that acts like they are the good guys, and the Goblins constantly need to be put down? Seems that way.

-Hogs Mead Inn. It was fond in the pigs inn. Pigs or pork being the most well known non-kosher food.

-Oh but we’re not done. Gorgonzola is one of the few non-kosher cheeses. Stuffing it into the shofar is also not kosher, or in other words, makes it...I suppose not holy works? Not Jewish Law Approved essentially.

There are levels to the antisemitism here. “It’s just a horn” says some except the plot of the game is already riffing off of antisemitic tropes. JK Rowling’s goblins have been criticized as highly antisemitic for over two decades. To add in these highly specific dogwhistles is intentional.

Most people don’t even know what a shofar is, let alone which cheeses are kosher or non-kosher, or the dates of lesser known attempts to kill Jewish people. While I would never say the whole dev team was full of bigots, there were clearly some who were excited to throw in dogwhistle after dogwhistle.

That alone is a good enough reason to not support this stupid fucking game. Fuck Hogwarts Legacy. Go play something else.

If you use what is going on in Palestine right now as an excuse to be actually antisemetic in any way, you're a bad person.

You're awful. This is not up for debate.

Blasting Kanye, like he'd give a shit about Palestinians, is not pro-palastine. You're just being antisemetic because you know he is. No trolls/clowns allowed. These are human lives here and there are more being lost by the day.

White supremacists are not allowed in any propalastine spaces. Eat shit, Andrew Tate.

I'm very sorry to anyone for using their community specific tags. I'll retag if you pm me, but I won't take this post down.

[judaismandsuch]

I am sure all of my *checks notes* 4 followers? are familiar with the argument that was going around back in the day about whether or not lich's phylacteries were an anti-semetic trope. I am firmly on the side of 'not anti-semetic'

(I am happy to discuss the topic, just not the topic exactly of the post)

As many people know (because the u.s. dominates the news cycle) Senetor Dianne Feinstein recently passed away. As most people could guess, she was also Jewish.

Now, once she died there was the normal type of posts/comments on the subject. Mainly in bad taste, but y'know, to be expected. ('finally', 'well I guess we are prying it from her cold dead hands' etc.)

They were by and large, just dickish, none particularly bad (for the internet/subject matter).

But one comment bugged me, 'I guess we finally destroyed that Lich's Phylactery'.

Do I think the dude who commented that was aware of the discussion about that topic? No. Do I think they were a definete anti-semite? Probably not. I could have checked the post history but I don't care enough to.

Do I think that comment actually crossed a line? Yes.

Cause sometimes something can be neutral/borderline, but in a particular context, very very bad.

Not sure where I am going with this tbh.

Uh.

Z"L?

Alright, I'm gonna respond to this ask like this because you added your handle (which I recognize) and I cannot answer you privately.

Here's the reason I've blocked you: I have zero interest in interacting with someone that wrote a nazi kink fic involving Spock (bro like, what the fuck????). The fact that I even wrote these words together gives me hives, and I honestly think you're grown enough to know why writing something like that with a character that was played by a jewish man, might make, at best, someone uncomfortable. Do not contact me again.

So I watched Fiddler on the Roof for the first time in 40 years

And post-conversion. It hit differently the "this is what I signed up for way", but also, the Fiddler became more than a whimsical metaphor.

The Fiddler represents walking through the world as a Jew, balancing on a roof between "playing a merry tune" in the world and "falling off and breaking your neck".

At the very end, as the family leaves Anatevka with the rest of the Jews of the village, Tevye looks back and the Fiddler is behind him on the road. We know the family is going to America.

I sat waiting to see if the Fiddler would be left behind in Anatevka, because that would be telling about the family's fate. They walk out of frame, with the Fiddler trailing a distance behind them. Then he follows them out of frame too. Tevye et famille may be making a new life in America, but as long as they are observant Jews, they are going to have to live that balancing act. I had goosebumps.

Aside: The daughter who converted to Christianity to marry the Christian boy? She would have been the one murdered in the Holocaust because they moved to Krakow. Yeah, this movie is packed with meaning if you give it the slightest bit of attention.

and there sinfest goes with the overt anti-semitism.

Were I more favorably inclined towards Tats I'd argue you could read this as an anti-Ye comic portraying him as delusional. But, of course, there's been a low-key current of antisemitism in Sinfest forever so I'm not so inclined.

Certainly his Twitter followers are taking it as a pro-Ye piece.

The Eternal Flower Files: The Sun King

Let's talk about King AZ, the king that became a wanderer.

Pokemon X and Y draw a lot of connections between King AZ and King Louis XIV of France. Remember that portrait in Parfum Palace? The one that reminds our player character of AZ?  Well, Parfum Palace is based on the Palace of Versailles, and the painting looks a lot like like Louis XIV. He called himself the "Sun King" for reasons that will be clear later in the post.

Screenshots from Pokemon Generations Episode 18: The Redemption

Notice how in AZ's last scene at the end of Pokemon X and Y, the sun is beating down hard on him in nearly every shot, including during the battle. Then when when Floette appears, she descends down from the sun.

While X and Y compare AZ to the Sun King, here it seems like the sun symbol...is Floette herself, as if the sun is Floette watching AZ. Floette's Eternal Flower is likely associated with light, but the sun itself? I don't have a full theory about this. Not yet anyway.

Another symbol associated with King AZ is the inchplant, historically known as "Wandering Jew".  It's a vine that shares some similarities with the Eternal Flower, especially the reddish-violet variants.  It even has three-petaled flowers, like the trillium.  The zebra-like stripes on the leaves especially remind me of the black triquetra markings on the Eternal Flower's petals. 

Sources: Succulent Depot, OrchidWeb: Tradescantia zebrina

If you've listened to Z-A theories lately, you might have heard of AZ's widely agreed on other inspiration, the story of the Wandering Jew, or "Eternal Jew". This is the antisemitic folk tale of a Jewish man who was cursed with immortality after mocking Jesus on the morning of crucifixion, and made to wander the earth until the end of days. This story has fueled centuries of antisemitism, even being used by Nazis for propaganda in WWII. 

We know anime can't resist playing with European history and western religious symbols. Pokemon wouldn't be the first anime to be inspired by Ahasuerus (Fate/Requiem), Xerxes (Fullmetal Alchemist), or Cartaphilus (Ancient Magus' Bride), which are all names associated with various versions of the Wandering Jew.  Personally though, I imagine this story catching GameFreak's attention because of the plant, considering how much flower symbolism runs the Pokemon franchise.

Sources: (1) Getty Images, via History.com, (2) Internet Archive via Wikipedia

So here we have a set of conflicting inspirations for AZ: the Sun King, and the Wandering Jew.  "Conflicting" is an understatement, because Louis "the Sun King" XIV actively persecuted French Jews. He called himself the Sun King because he considered himself God's representative on Earth.  Not only did he expel the Jews from the French West Indies, he stripped Calvinists of their religious liberties, and sometimes even went after other Catholics. (Source: History.com)

What do we make of these conflicting inspirations? Well, fiction can be cathartic. I think GameFreak switched the roles of the Sun King and the Wandering Jew for their story. In real life, the Sun King enjoyed a nice, long reign, unscathed by the people he persecuted and exiled. But in Pokemon X and Y, it's not the innocent religious minorities that wander the earth. It is the Sun King himself, forced to live eternally with the crimes he committed as the ruler of Kalos.

Yom Tov (Passover)

Hey, everyone, it's Pesach/Passover today, and I just wanted to say a little something. Since the Iraq War, the war in Darfur, and the conflict in Lebanon are all going on (plus others), it can be hard for us as Jews to think about the Middle East in the Torah and remember it's the same Middle East as the one that's on fire right now?

I think the important thing to say is that, like, you know how on Passover we always say that we all were slaves in Egypt? Well, I mean, there's a lot of people building pyramids, right now, right? There's a lot of firstborns being slayed.

I think it's important to be conscious and aware of what's going on, so we as Jews are always ready to fight against war, bigotry, genocide, and that kinda thing. We as Jews need to donate and send help. We need to get the word out about what the conflicts are doing to people. Blown-up bodies, kidnappings, torture, murder, it's pretty fucked up.

I hope any other Jews who read my blog are safe and with their families and loved ones. Tbh, I feel, I dunno, lucky? Like, hey, as bad as my life can get, at least I'm in America, right? At least I'm not fighting Al-Qaeda or dying in a ditch.

This can't just be a Jewish thing. Everyone needs to work together to make sure that the Middle East and Lebanon, Iraq, and Israel are safe places to live for Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Also, I guess, all the other religions. That's important too. Are their Buddhists in Israel? I'm pretty sure there are Scientologists. I looked it up once.

My point is that we should all do something. I dunno what it is, but we'll figure something out.

Also, like, I wanna air out a grievance here. I know who threw coins at my head in elementary school. I know who tried to slip me pork as a "prank". I know who drew a swastika on my desk and told me to "get in the showers" in an Ahnold voice as "black comedy". I'm pretty sure it was Kylar, at least, that last one. Some of the kids at this school are really dumb, and they repeat edgy bullshit they saw on South Park or whatever. Antisemitism is a real bigotry, I know some of you wanna pretend that, like, the only way to be antisemitic is to be a Literal Nazi, but that's bullshit. There are tons of ways people are antisemitic, and sometimes it's as obvious as my examples. Other times, it's as simple as valuing Jewish input, Jewish dignity, or Jewish perspectives less than other peeople's.

Let's end war, injustice, discrimination, hate, and antisemitism by 2018. Happy Passover, everyone!

I have to do a ton of research into metaphysical, esoteric, and occult topics for my fiction. I really enjoy talking about these topics and also screaming about the nonsense one finds when you're interested in these topics.

I considered making a new side blog for this, then decided that this isn't so out of the way of what I normally reblog that it would be out of place here. I'll mark anything that's not kid friendly in case there are kids following me. I did promise to keep this place PG-13 after all.

First set of videos are about Atlantis, and I came across them when I went looking for how the idea of Atlantis being real came about and why that idea is so intertwined with white supremacists. These videos are an excellent explainer! Toss them at anyone who claims there is actual evidence for Atlantis.

This third one is... pretty difficult listening. You can stop with the first two and not miss much if you really don't want to dive in to how the Atlantis thing gets tied even tighter to racist effery once the antecedents to the Nazis come along.

Also, kids, don't watch this last video.

The biggest takeaway for me is that pretty much everything terrible in esoteric and occult circles after the 1700 can be blamed directly on the Theosophists. I'll post some videos about them later.

BTW I'm tagging all these posts Occulted Tempest (OcculTempest? nah, that's silly.)

Okay, so when it comes to Hogwarts Legacy, one of the suggestions that comes up is, "Just pirate it" but like. Well, my primary issue is its a game where the enemy is "what if we made the antisemitic goblins even more antisemitic" so maybe don't.

But a minor issue I realized is that most people don't know how to pirate things, and due to the illegal nature of it all, its obviously hard to find resources.

So if people DO follow this advice, they run into potentially downloading crypto miners, other malware, internet service providers getting cranky, not understanding how peer to peer works, and no seriously the malware.

And while not all game pirating sites are THAT bad, its still not something I'd reccomend to the general public.

So yeah. Don't even pirate the terf's attempt at keeping the ip going, and don't reccomend pirating to the average person because the average person WILL click on the big flashy download link that leads to malware.
