#i don't even go here but this is going to be fascist antisemitic bullshit and I'm--

[hero-israel]

Here's the thing about this narrative that Palestinian resistance no matter what form is acceptable. Jewkilling cannot exist in a bubble. It cannot be politically neutral. 1000 years of European (and Arab) antisemitism culminating in genocide have ruined that. Sorry to Palestinian activists but that's just how it works. You can't murder a Jew without it being a tragedy, without it contributing to the continued global oppression of Jewish people.

And all that said, that's just if Hamas and others only targeted soldiers and police (or at least tried as best they could). The IRA didn't go out of its way to purposefully target noncombatants. Why? Probably because there isn't thousands of years of history of English people being seen as subhuman, there isn't thousands of years of anglophobic propaganda showing English people as twisted monsters preying on children and secretly undermining Irish society. The Irish national movement was not born because English refugees returned to their historical homeland and challenged the notion of Irish Supremacy. It was a pragmatic liberation movement. Resist military occupation, undermine military infrastructure designed to oppress the people. The descendants of English and Scottish settlers would even be allowed to stay if they had won. Imagine that.

These things are all tied up in each other. I'm against police brutality, I'm against the escalation and the militarization and the mistreatment of Arabs in Israel and in Judea & Samaria and Gaza and Golan and everywhere. But killing Jews can never be righteous. Sorry to anyone who feels that way but it can't. Antizionists NEED to understand that. Jews will always feel defensive and ready themselves for retaliation because of history, because of that context. Jews keep saying "prove to us a post zionist society where we all share the land won't be antisemitic" and their concerns are completely brushed off.

There's no empathy at all. A little girl can be stabbed to death and antizionists celebrate because she was a "settler," and that brave Palestinian man was defending his indigenous homeland, by targeting the weakest of his enemies. And since Israel has mandatory military service the antizionist can surmise that no Jews are Innocent. An Israeli Jew cannot be a noncombatant. They have to, otherwise the only other explanation for why Jewkilling is acceptable to them, or even feels good to them, is that they hate Jews. And as of right now, the optics are still against that. I have a sinking feeling the optics won't be against them much longer. I inherently don't trust a "liberation" movement that's all too eager to make murdering Jewish civilians praxis. I'm sick of the internet falling for this bullshit.

One of the best asks I have ever received. Thank you for sharing it and I agree with every word.

The entire progressive intersectional social-justice frame has failed Jews (or, alternately, has succeeded in excluding them), due to being intellectually colonized by a clearly fascist ideology of incessantly hating the Jew as a poisonous alien. Try to get an online activist to critically deconstruct the social assumptions they were raised with about Jews in their Muslim, Christian, or very slightly post-Christian society... it won't go well. Funny how Jews have lived in India and China for thousands of years yet you will look in vain for examples of bitter bloodthirsty kill-your-nextdoor-neighbor antisemitism in those societies. That's because the origin, the core, of Chinese and Indian societies was not "We're the people who are better than Jews."

From a review of Richard Landes' new book "Can the Whole World Be Wrong?":

[During the Second Intifada] Israelis were described at the time as the new Nazis. But the malice that was unleashed was even worse. As Landes writes, “It was mostly about being freed from a sense of obligation to the Jews, a chance to take up again the Jew-baiting so long denied Europeans by a politically correct post-Holocaust sobriety.” Landes quotes a poisonous comment made by a member of the House of Lords and reported in the Spectator, “Well, the Jews have been asking for it, and now, thank God, we can say what we think at last.” During that time, I was told something horrifyingly similar to my [=the reviewer's] face.

Your example of Irish nationalists not going out of their way to murder British children is a good one. The oft-reached comparisons between Palestine and South Africa are frivolous for many reasons as I have explained here before, and the ANC advocating and normalizing a vision of enduring racial diversity and equality is high on the list of reasons (made possible because black African identity is not predicated on a thousand-year history of hating and oppressing whites). The case of Rhodesia is even more instructive. Robert Mugabe - ROBERT MUGABE! - pleaded with the whites to stay, to live as equals, as brothers, and work together in building a better society in Zimbabwe. Ian Smith, last white PM of Rhodesia, agreed with him and stayed in Zimbabwe. If a so-called "liberation" movement is more openly dedicated to straight-up exterminating their enemies than Robert Mugabe ever was, maybe, just maybe, it shouldn't be described as "liberation" at all.

So, a pretty damn concerning thing is going on with starseeds, and I think we need to all be aware of this - not just as a problem with starseeds, but as a thing that can potentially happen in any context, and without critical thinking and discernment, lead to some... pretty worrying outcomes, let's put it that way.

There's a number of people who basically start learning about starseeds from stuff like YouTube videos. They start feeling resonance with the concept (which of course they do; the concept of starseeds is built to prey on certain vulnerabilities); and then a short while later, they start having everything from dreams to visions as they spontaneously "remember" their past life on another planet.

Now just in case anyone reading this isn't aware, the thing about starseeds is, this is a concept that developed over the 19th and 20th centuries, and is fundamentally rooted in colonialism, eugenics, pseudohistory, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories that are often as not just thinly-veiled antisemitism. It rides on fabricated and distorted evidence that there was no possible way ancient people (mostly POC) could have constructed sophisticated architecture, and claims that they were constructed by aliens. They have no evidence of these alien visitors, mind. What they try to pass off as "evidence" is largely cherry picked and misrepresented mythology, sacred texts, etc. Occasionally these texts are modern forgeries or channeled literature, such as The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean - not to be confused with The Emerald Tablet. Oh, and one piece of influential literature in the starseed movement - Other Tongues, Other Flesh - claims that the swastika is a holy symbol among the "good" aliens. Meanwhile, the "bad" aliens are pretty obviously antisemitic stereotypes in space. The book's author, George Hunt Williamson, used to be buddies with an actual fascist/Nazi sympathizer, William Dudley Pelley.

In short, it's not just bullshit; it's incredibly obvious bullshit if you actually take the time to look into it properly. And we have a bunch of people who are spontaneously "remembering" past lives that fit into this bullshit narrative. Based on their own reports, these people aren't even being hypnotized or anything; they'll just spontaneously have "memories" come to them in the middle of the day or something.

So yeah, it's very important for people in witchy and occult communities, or any kind of fringe interest communities whatsoever, to understand that these kinds of experiences can happen, and that they don't necessarily have any bearing on reality whatsoever. Because we can see right here that acceptance of these experiences as absolutely valid is leading people down dangerous roads - including the New Age to Alt Right pipeline.

I frankly think the problem is that people who post about the "worthlessness" of the vote are a combination of people who've lived with the privilege their entire lives and thus don't recognize its value, and of people who think that doing ANYTHING that is part of the establishment is inherently dirty and needs to be avoided to maintain their ideological purity. And mixed together with an unhealthy dose of capitalistic undertones of instant gratification that they've never truly reckoned with.

Because that's what this is really all about; keeping their own hands unsullied of what they see as a poisonous system, where the establishment is inherently bad no matter what good elements are still left trying to be fixed and improved, and they want the results immediately regardless of the consequences.

As it's been said before, as horrid and evil as the fascist right are, they did their due diligence for over 50 years, putting their zealots into various positions of power year after year, decade after decade. because they were willing to go through their own hell in order to ensure that the poison trees they were planting would bear fruit, even as they have their clowns and assholes to distract the rest of us. I have never seen that kind of single-minded long term thinking in a very large majority of online types.

I mean, last night I received an anon scolding me about how I was "driving away young leftists and liberals" by whatever I was saying on Tunglr dot hell (which has consisted almost in its entirety of forcefully telling them to vote, to not be antisemites, and that yelling at a cancer hospital wasn't going to magically awaken more people to the Rightness of your Cause and actually backfires on the cause you're claiming to help). And while the urge to do a forensic and deeply salty response was Strong, I reminded myself to do the smart thing and block it. Which I did, but also I'm still wondering how, if these precious snowflakes are indeed "driven away" by someone telling them to vote and not be antisemites, then yeah, we're doomed. It was also entirely likely that this was the usual version of "not a threat-threat" wherein if I don't stop telling people to vote on Tunglr dot hell, apparently this might cause the entire moral continuum of the universe to collapse and it will be my fault. Sorry if I haven't been always totally nice about it, but after eight years of dealing with this bullshit nonstop, my patience is now deeply limited.

Anyway, my point here is that if this is actually what we're dealing with, wherein they will blow right past the most basic of advice about how to actually do something and not just get short-term Moral Good Person Cookies out of it, coming from someone who actually agrees with what they want to do and the changes they want to see in the world, in order to focus on This Personally Made Me Feel Bad :(, then yeah. We're doomed. On the other hand, as scolding anons on Tunglr dot hell are again, hardly representative of the actual state of things, it likewise should be taken with a healthy grain of salt.

#anonymous #ask #politics for ts #look #if you can't understand basic reality #how the us government works #how the world works #how fascism works and is yet again coming VERY close to taking over #in favor of feeling bad because i bluntly told y'all to vote and stop being antisemitic: *get it together* #i mean it from the bottom of my heart

[spider-xan]

how do you feel about conspiracy theories? I don't like conspiracy theories because it's stupid bullshit nonsense with no actual evidence to back it up and from what I've learned its rooted in a lot of bigotry including antisemitism which is a yikes.

Obviously, I think conspiracy theories are fascist bullshit rooted into antisemitism, though people on the left can and do fall for them too, especially if they're into New Age woo woo shit and antisemitism is an issue on the left as well. That is all I am going to say for now.

Also, after some thinking - look, I want to be gracious and assume this is all in good faith and that you really are a young person looking into getting into politics and might not know what's appropriate and you're not someone trying to bait me, but I'm assuming you are the same anon who has repeatedly sent me multiple asks about politics that are written exactly like this one, where you ask me how I feel about [bad thing] and then go on about how you think [bad thing] is bad. Even if you mean well, and I don't know your background, but I have to admit this feels like a situation where bc I am not white, I'm being used as not just a free resource for political education and some kind of sentient diary, but I am also some kind of moral authority where you're asking me these questions so you can get a Good Ethnic's definite take on something as a Good Opinion for you to hold. But not only am I not a free online resource, but no way should I be put on a pedestal like that - being a minority with a moral compass and hopefully compassionate, but imperfect politics that are always evolving does not make me a moral authority or authority of any kind.

I might still respond to some of your previous Asks, but I really want to lay out that even if you have good intentions, I am not a sounding board for Social Justice 101 or the leftism police-priest here to grant strangers moral absolution or edicts.

Liberal feminists who accuse radical feminists of being or supporting NAZIs are not only wrong, but also hypocritical.

NAZIs are NOT part of radical feminism. And self-proclaimed "radfems" who support them (which I haven't come across but just in case) don't belong with us.

Why do libfems get to say "this person invades our space BUT they aren't actually part of our movement" yet we don't?

If a "radfem" supports NAZIs and is antisemitic, they are not part of our community.

These people invade our movement and spaces to use it for their own ideology. Libfems always say "if you are xy or do xy, you are NOT a feminist" , and the same applies here.

These people are abusing our cause, they are NOT part of our movement.

And let‘s not forget that liberal feminists have

misogynistic fascists

MRAs

porn addicts and rapists ("sex-buyers")

TRAs who use misogyny and literal rape threats to silence disagreeable women

TRAs who support autogynopilic men

people who sympathize with sexist men

within their rows.

The men who align with liberal feminism only do so because there was a space created for them which caters to them despite them being our oppressors.

Women are expected to listen to and coddle their oppressors like no other marginalized folk is expected to by libfems (e.g. black people, poor people, trans identified people).

And these men nowadays don‘t even have to invade their spaces … they‘re deliberately INVITED because "men have it bad under patriarchy, too!" (which is simply NOT TRUE, men‘s issues are NOT sex-based and men‘s issues affect women just as much or more DUE TO misogyny and patriarchy).

Example: The claim that there are more homeless men than women and hence poverty affects men worse. Truth is that there are more women in poverty, but they‘re not "homeless", they‘re forced into sex work/prostitution and get trafficked. Such a privilege! /s

Or: Women are "allowed" to cry but men aren‘t allowed to express their emotions! Also false. Yes, the "men don‘t cry" bullshit is a thing, but it‘s the crown men put on their own heads. Are women REALLY allowed to cry without consequences? No. us. Our softness and emotionality and tenderness have been proof of our inhumanity and our place two steps behind men! Women are "allowed" to cry because we‘re EXPECTED and DEMANDED to be "weak". And men show their emotions through anger and taking it out on others, especially women, all the time.

Women‘s pain is literally romanticized and fetishized, turned into JOKES (and yes, there are more than enough libfems who also think "as long as it‘s a joke, it‘s fine").

Do I need to go on? Anyone who took the time and effort to actually learn about radical feminism (there are already countless reports, statistics and studies spread on Tumblr/Radblr) would understand that we‘re not evil. And above all, we aren’t hypocrites.

Sean Hannity did a "sit down" with Mike Johnson, a man whose name I keep forgetting a minute after I've looked it up for the 12th time. Politico has a "listicle" of the 12 key points, where we can get a "peek into his thinking."

What this ACTUALLY is is a promo bit so Mike can show America how white and folksy he is, and Hannity can set him up to give hard-right approved soundbites, reassuring the fascists he's still quietly one of them. Important work for the good of the country, all 'round.

Let's waste time on this, shall we?

"Biden is senile." Zing. They literally have nothing else, except that he has also, sometimes, been awkwardly weird to women and children. But they can't talk about that, because being awkward and weird to women and children is a GOP plank.

And yes, it is a "failed presidency." Because the Democrats said that about Trump's tenure, so the GOP has to say it about Biden. Because political attacks are identical to when an 8 year old yells, "No, YOU are!"

This is also a dog-whistle about how POCs and queer people are still allowed to walk the street without being terrorized, and we should all go to men's retreats and cry about how oppressed we are by it.

Yes yes, we can't support Ukraine anymore because Trump confused Twitter conspiracies for security briefings, and now the mainline GOP has to pretend it makes any sense that the Ukrainian Illuminati wanted to hack voting machines in the Deep South.

He could have at least found a conspiracy theory by someone who actually knows what a Ukraine is. And what corruption there actually looks like. But Trump does research by half-paying attention to Fox News while he's eating his chicken McNuggets, so it was bound to go this way.

I like how Mike is only anti-Putin insofar as it affects his racism against the Chinese. At least, publicly. He has to understand what a genuine threat Putin really is. But like half his party right now loves Putin because only Putin can stop those Ukrainian Illuminati from hacking rural Georgia voting machines. A GOOD person would, you know, call that bullshit out. But since Mike did treason by refusing to certify a free and fair election, Mike is obviously not a good person.

Like hell you do. If it was up to these people, they'd draft every 17 year old in the country to go kill Muslims, to make them too busy to watch videos on the internet that point out how gross and evil Conservatism is. I mean, Kim Reynolds did her best trying to force them offline by making it legal for them to serve martinis to handsy lawyers at 1 am. But at this point, she can't mandate that.

Yeah, Mike, I'm sure the reason you don't want to give money to poor Muslims is only because of how insensitive their own leaders are to them. Funny, then, how your party is the one claiming how it is automatically antisemitism when someone dares to suggest Israel shouldn't have free reign to turn a city of 600,000 poor Muslims into a Moon crater.

...Almost like something else is at play, here.

Also I don't disagree that letting Hamas get US funds would turn into Hamas buying weapons with it.

...Weapons that were probably originally produced by US weapons manufacturers. And they have NO IDEA how they even got there!

The irony of a Far Right Conservative being wary that someone violent wants to buy guns.

"No, it was YOU that committed high crimes and misdemeanors!"

How are people who committed treason against the State allowed to punish other people for breaking its laws? What version of high school civics does Louisiana teach?

I think they just yell "White Power!" and throw a football at your head.

Hey, I'm in Pennsylvania. It's basically the same thing here. Just if you catch it here, they reward you with a Hershey bar.

Yeah, only white people should have globe-spanning empires, because ours are inherently benevolent and our guns bring freedom! Or whatever weird twists the Conservative mind makes to justify why only WE get to do stuff.

Note that the only reason we "hate" China is because they want to make all the money we are currently making, screwing around with other people's shit. That's why we must stand firm astride the world. So guys in New York have the exclusive rights to squeeze money out mines in Indonesia and Malaysia and Sub-Saharan Africa. A noble endeavor, surely worth the ever-present risk of American military lives!

Also this obviously takes the form of a racism that exoticizes and dehumanizes everything China does, because how dare they not keep to their place? But Mike wasn't overt with that here.

Give him a minute.

Remember how Republicans changed the rules into something stupid so McCarthy could be Speaker, but then it turned out to be so stupid it cost him the Speakership, and plunged House leadership into chaos? Now that Mike is in charge, he wants to change the rules AGAIN, because now the stupid they thought was good turns out to be bad.

Because House Republicans run any elections they are in charge of like 7 year olds playing superhero, changing the rules after the fact and demanding a redo every time they don't get exactly what they want.

The problem is, when you pull that shit with a Presidential election, that's called "an attempted coup," and it's treason.

Which Mike was involved in. So no surprise that as House Leader, here he goes again, treating election rules like laser eyes you can't have anymore because it's not fair.

As for the stopgap spending thing, any GOP Speaker would parrot this, about how he'll bravely shut down the government until Biden stops giving poor trans students 2% milk instead of toilet water, or whatever their misreading if the Old Testament demands this season.

Guy who committed treason is suddenly Mr. Law and Order when it means he can worm out of having to try and refight the gay marriage issue. We know he is anti-queer and proud of it, so this is mostly him declaring that he thinks there are more important culture war battles at the moment than reinstating the official legal definition of two dudes kissing as "icky."

He surely wants to do that. It's just a "not right now" thing. Right now, it is time to outlaw

That is his weiner way of saying "it's a States' Rights issue!", that thing the South ALWAYS says any time you tell them to free their slaves, or stop doing compulsory Bible study in public schools, or you mention how marrying your 13 year old cousin is actually considered child abuse now.

The only reason most of the South has electricity or phone lines is because the Fed had to pay for those, as left to their own devices, they were exercising their States' Rights to let everyone die of mining accidents in cold shacks while a handful of families spent the infrastructure money on fancy dress parties. States' Rights is the immediate cry of a man who is indignant he should have to answer to anyone about anything in the first place.

And now with Roe overturned, he doesn't have to. The South and Midwest can legally turn a fertilized womb into the equivalent of an ankle bracelet, and the rest of us can mind our business! ...Until Mike and his friends make abortion illegal on the federal level.

Because the appeal to States' Rights only applies when the South wants to do something gross in the name of God. If your state chooses another path, you are morally wrong and the law should force you to do as the South says God demands. Because their view of democracy is that they get to be Evangelical Popes who can dictate policy to the rest of us.

This guy is now second in line to the Presidency. Let's hope Biden and Harris doing waving tours of war zones doesn't go stupid. Because if it does...it's going to go stupid for ALL of us.

[skiplo-wave]

Think I might know where that one simp got the idea that we thought the fascist cunts of the old Reich were better that Scamber: Eve Barlow.

See, Eve Barlow some time ago recently made a tweet calling out celebs who supported Palestine around the time before the cease fire was called out. See, Israel was doing it's asshole thing and taking Palestinian land, bombing houses and mosques and hospitals and shit again and it was in the public eye and at the end of Ramadhan so everybody got to hear about it. She proudly declared herself as a Zionist and started attacking people who didn't agree with her views, tried to educate her on it, or just plain out call her out on her bullshit. Even fellow Jews who were in support of Palestine and we're against what Israel was doing called her out on her shit and she kept biting back calling them all sorts of names and shit. It was a mess. There's screenshots all over Twitter and eventually a tag started trending that was jab at her name and her takes: Eve Fartlow. Because, y'know, aside from being Amber's lapdog and slandering celebs (without @-ing them of course) and Deppheads alike, her takes are legit garbage and she vehemently supports mass genocide and the frankly blatant colonialism happening at Palestine at the moment. She has that radical main take that anyone supporting Palestine, supporting victims of over a decade of bombing and a myriad human rights violations, is an antisemite and that any critique of the Israeli government and their conduct is antisemitism.

But now onto Turd. So Fartlow made a tweet, another garbage take, which was then replied to by Seth Rogan, who is a Jewish man and actor himself, with a fart emoji. Again, a jab at the tag. Turd responded with some sarcastic shit like "oh here's Seth, solving problems in the middle east" which, of course, set a few more people after her but that isn't the point. The point is, that throughout the time Israel had been absolutely demolishing the Gaza Strip and the Banks and taking Sheikh Jarrah, when others have come out in support of Palestine, signal boosting the events and atrocities happening there and donating and doing fund raisers, Turd said nothing. Nada, not a peep. So this one time she piped up meant two things:

1. She really doesn't care about humans rights at all and doesn't take her UN appointed title seriously. She said nothing when it's her literal job to talk about the issue, address it, or y'know, do the activist thing that the title implies.

2. She supports Fartlow and her radical zionists views. They're still friends on Twitter. Her stans are in Fartlow's notes.

TLDR: Friend of AH gets attacked on Twitter for being a shit and pulls the antisemitism-nazi card. AH defends, more people come to despise her, and her stans are now deflecting with the 'Nazi Supporter' bullshit. I don't know who's tweets that OP was reading, but they sure ain't the folks I follow.

Oh and for the record just to clear things up: I abhor antisemitism. Jewish people aren't a monolith. The Israeli government using religion as an excuse and a cover up to commit heinous war crimes against Palestinian citizens - that is children, women, and men alike, does not mean all Jewish people are to blame. You pull that card, you're just as bad as the people doing the bombing because you're feeding their little narrative of "Ah the world hates Jews we must attack for our homeland!" Judaism as a whole is not to blame for Palestine, but rather the people weaponizing it to further their own violent agendas are.

In other Depphead news: docs came out and in turns out that the ACLU helped Turd in not only covering up the fact that she did not donate the money, but also in writing the Washington Post Opinion Edition she claimed wasn't about Johnny but was, in fact, about Johnny. Also she tried to get the case dismissed, again, but was told off by the new judge.

(This was a long rant and I am so sorry Skip, how's life?)
