Galileo

Observation conquers theory. Evidence beats dogma. Reality is the final boss. Fighting conspiracy theories and ideological capture with the oldest trick in the book: looking at what actually happens. The map is not the territory. Your coherent beliefs might still be wrong. Bring evidence or bring nothing. Reblogs do not equal endorsement of someone's entire belief system, and I hate that I have to state it at all.

By Allah, I will not leave you. Even if I am killed, then burnt, and my ashes scattered in the air, and I am brought back to life—even if this is done seventy times, I shall not leave you

21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

ive been trying for a while to find the right words to articulate the way goys, and especially the current-left goys, treat and talk the holocaust, how they see being a victim of this massive tragedy that destroyed over half a people as a mark of specialness, or privilege, how it grants you martyrdom for the cause of social justice- except when it's jews, of course, because then they're using their victimhood to manipulate people and are acting like it's only about them. and the way they fight over this whole idea of 'who suffered the most during the holocaust [except the jews]', as if the question of who is the biggest victim is a question of who takes the trophy for 'group to be most oppressed'. but anyway i just had the thought that goys seem to treat the holocaust as if it's the golden apple thrown by marx with the inscription 'to the most oppressed' going on. that's the best way i can describe it.

tbh i don’t think any aesthetic or fandom is inherently leftist. people will say “you can’t be goth/punk/emo/alt/whatever if you’re not a leftist!” and “how do conservative star trek fans exist?” and like. it’s simple. they’re literally just aesthetics and fandoms. there is nothing inherently leftist about dressing a certain way, or listening to certain music, or watching certain tv shows.

i think a lot of people want to believe that performing a certain aesthetic or being in a certain fandom makes you a better leftist, because they’re at least semi-aware that they aren’t doing enough. but instead of going out and trying to improve anything, they just reframe something they’re already doing as radical and leftist.

[susanoos-wife]

Most importantly, leftists don't own fandom, counterculture aesthetics, or any kind of music or art. They like to think they do because they're selfish, self centered twats with no awareness that other people have an internal sense of self but anyone can be a part of any subculture if they want to be, no political party or group has a monopoly on art, artistic expression, or aesthetics.

i don’t like this analogy anyway but whenever i hear someone try to explain why Jews aren’t indigenous to Israel via a metaphorical house i’m like dawg it’s so much worse than you could ever imagine??? “imagine someone showed up at your house and decided it belonged to them bc sky daddy said so” no actually imagine someone showed up at a house you occupied but did not claim to own until very recently and said “hi i built this house and was unlawfully evicted and i know you had no part in that but uh it’s still my house?? and also some of my extended family still live here from what i can tell but they aren’t allowed in any of the common areas so that’s. cool. and all our family heirlooms and portraits and sentimental items are still on display but it seems you are variously claiming they belong to you despite evidence to the contrary. look dude i don’t actually need you to move out i would just like to be able to live in my house and not worry about vandalism or unlawful eviction or anything again.” and then some fucko from another neighborhood pops out of the bushes and says “ummmmm actually i’ve never seen you before so you don’t own this house. that deed isn’t a legally binding contract because i said so. the current occupants are the only people who have ever lived here and actually they built this house and you should be shot for suggesting otherwise. no you cannot build a new house or live anywhere else.”

Palestinian film production team staging fake "war crimes" to solicit international donations and manufacture disinformation to demonize Israel:

[the-library-alcove]

One repeated refrain I keep seeing from the Pro-Palestinian crowd, from the most virulently Jew-hating to the most Jew-sympathetic, is pretty straightforward.

"Well, after 75 years of how the Palestinians have been treated, can you blame them for the 7/10 attack?"

And the response that I've been itching to give to that...

"So, you're saying that the Nakba was acceptable back in 1948? Because after 1000+ years of mistreatment by Muslim Arabs, including multiple massacres and ethnic cleansing in living memory, that means that the Jews were justified with the Nakba--indeed, they were restrained, because they could have easily done so much worse, and the Palestinians Arabs hadn't had any mistreatment yet at the hands of the Jews. There was a clear side who had been the victims (the Jews) and a clear side who had been the victimizers for over a thousand years, as the Muslims been the ones doing the mistreatment to the Jews. If you're saying that 75 years of marginalization justifies mass rape and murder, then the Israelis in 1948 would have been justified in killing every single proto-Palestinian Arab by that same metric.

"No? That's different? How? How is it different? Explain to me how it's different without using the word 'colonizer', because a vast number of the Jews who lived there were unquestionably native and had never been living elsewhere. Sure, they were just a portion of the Jewish population as a whole, but so are the Palestinian militants. Would someone whose family had been butchered in the 1929 Hebron Massacre not be justified in taking out their hate on other Arabs? Because that's the standard you're promoting now. How is it different?

"On what ethical grounds is it okay to say that the Palestinians deserve to get to rape and murder for 75 years of marginalization, and yet that the Jews simply displacing them but allowing them to continue living, sparing their lives after 1200+ years of brutal suppression... that act is somehow the most horrendous and monstrous act in the entire history of mankind, as some Pro-Palestinian activists have explicitly said?"

"Explain to me how 75 years of mistreatment justifies mass murder, but 1000+ years of legally recognized second-class brutal near-slavery doesn't justify displacement of your former oppressors."

One woke thing I particularly can't stand is the weird ass way woke people refer to people, especially people who aren't straight white men as "bodies." Hearing people talk about how the right dehumanizes women and non-white people while also ranting on and on about "black bodies" and "poc bodies" and calling people shit like "black birthing bodies" is an absolute mindfuck of the worst variety. People are not "bodies" and for that matter, people aren't "people with uteruses" or "people with vulvas" or "penis-having people," humans are not just a sum of random physical traits and referring to them as such makes you sound like a disdainful alien that has nothing but contempt for human beings.

good muslim v bad muslim

some pro-palestinian american muslim influencer making this vid specifically shitting on UAE as "bad muslims" because they built a few churches, synagogues and hindu temples in addition to mosques, and that's not what a pious country does.

i guess the good muslims are the ones that perpetrate the largest pogrom since the holocaust, then. you can't make up this level of contempt for secularism. and it's always coming from people that could only promote their hateful medieval ideologies in western secular countries to begin with, whose entitled arrogance can only be there.

all to convince the progressive passerby the palestinian national aspiration would magically morph centuries of arab-islamist supremacism into anything other that the dhimmitude jews extricated themselves from through ethnoreligious self-determination - at best

free palestine is a terrorist movement and it should always be stood against politically until all jihad is historical

the days of theocracy are counted

those who've made the nation of israel their enemies have always thought they know grief and that they alone can make the world right. they don't. and they can't. when the nazi elite last bunkered down, they also thought themselves martyrs. it is not over: am yisrael chai.

[disfiguredgrace]

“not all jews are zionists” is not a defense to jews being harassed, attacked, and murdered. all jews are jews. zionist jews are jews.

not all jews understand zionist history, but all jews suffer when the meaning of the word zionist is warped beyond recognition to a perverse simulacrum of itself. fuck you

"I would've joined the Allies and fought the Nazis" No... I think you would've been the people protesting WWII because 'Hitler did nothing to us' while barring Jews from immigrating to escape the Holocaust. Or perhaps the people who turned in their Jewish neighbors to the Nazis so that you could move into their houses and steal their valuables. Or maybe the people with concentration camps in their backyards claiming you had "no idea" that the Holocaust was happening.

Oh, and just like all of those people and organizations, you'll never face any punishment for it and then you'll swear up and down that it never happened while you sit in the stolen homes of Jews with streets paved with Jewish gravestones.
