why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

Reblog this triple-dead post for something good to happen to you this week.

[notaplaceofhonour]

We are not “conflating” Jews with Israel or Zionism.

The people you are talking about are still Jewish. Being Israeli or Zionist does not negate that,

That the accusations you are leveling at them are still the same accusations Christians and Muslims and Nazis leveled at Jews for centuries to oppress and murder us,

That you routinely dismiss and distort fundamental aspects of Jewish history, identity, and lived experience to meet your rhetorical goals,

That you dismiss the voice of any Jew who points any of this out as deception & manipulation. You portray us as sinister, devious, violent, controlling. Our explanations are treated as propaganda. You conflate members of our tribe with our oppressors.

At what point do you open your eyes and recognize that is unacceptable? That if us being Jewish wasn’t a part of why you are treating us this way, all of this wouldn’t be the case?

preperations for the long journey ahead, friend

[copperbadge]

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

hey bestie i think ur post might be charmed 'cause you aren't gonna fuckin believe what happened today

[outraged-honk]

This joke/ comment:

"it was promised to them 3000 years ago"

That comment is antisemitic. When you tell a Jew that its "zionist propaganda", no its antisemitic. If your response to a Jew is "im not antisemitic, im antizionist", you are 100% antisemitic. That entire phrase "im not antisemitic, im antizionist", is you using cognitive dissonance to rationalize your prejudice.

Hot take: but foreigners shouldn’t ever be in government.

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

Not Muslims either

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

One of the big blind spots the founding fathers had is they never conceived that America would get so big and have so many people who came from cultures that are incompatible with western Enlightenment values. There absolutely should have been term limits for every office and bans on anyone who wasn't born in America from ever holding any elected office or government job. I'd even add "born in America and grew up here" on to that.

i used to buy into that online leftist black-and-white Glorious Revolution stuff and what i remember about my mindset at that time. stresses me out tbh. i couldn't see the viability of anything short of full-scale revolution so i constantly felt helpless. i viewed the revolution as necessary to address any and all societal problems, but i was also, privately, terrified of it. i didn't want to die for the cause, but i told myself that if that was what happened when the revolution came it would be worth it, that my blood could move us that much faster toward perfect socialist utopia.

in this mindset, the only useful thing i could do was die. i didn't want to. i wasn't generally suicidal (although i do consider this mindset a form of... abstract suicidal thought). but i believed my life was the only meaningful thing i had to offer.

now i'm a member of a community who values me and values my contributions even if i can't contribute as much as i'd like -- a community that emphasizes that every single good deed matters, every compassionate act changes the world. a community where just showing up is enough.

now i know that i can change so much more while i'm alive than i'd ever be able to as a corpse on a battlefield. i know that if i keep showing up, i will find or someone will show me a way to make a difference. i know that i am valued as more than a hypothetical martyr in some grand final battle. i know that i am missed when i'm gone. i know that the actual work is done by regular people with a goal in mind, and i know that that work is unglamorous. i know the unglamorous work is often the most meaningful and the most fulfilling.

the "revolution or nothing" mindset is rendering my generation hopeless. a very loud portion of gen z now believes the only contribution they have to offer is their life. this belief effectively nullifies a person's capacity to create meaningful change; any action they could take while alive is not worthwhile because it won't fix the world's myriad problems in one fell swoop -- better to burn it all down and yourself with it.

if they weren't actively fucking over the rest of us to feed their own suicidal hopelessness, i'd feel sorry for them.

[whitager]

there's a phenomenon i've observed wherein a person stews in their own misery, hopelessness, anger, fear, to the point that they can no longer fathom that something might exist outside of that, and so they reject any effort to improve their situation because they no longer believe it can be improved.

i am not blaming the people who are in this place. it's a terrifying, dark place to be in, and when you're there it really does feel like it's the only thing that exists. this is the place where people kill themselves.

i think, though, that this phenomenon, scaled up to apply to politics and activism, undergirds so much of what we see from the left now -- the world is dark and terrifying, and in the 24-hour news cycle, social media doomscrolling era we live in it's so so easy to only see the bad, and when you surround yourself with other scared, overwhelmed people, it can form a sort of 2014-tumblr-depression-tag echo chamber where that hopelessness is glorified and lauded and propped up as Correct And Enlightened.

and then they commit hate crimes about it and my sympathy shuts all the way off.

Boosting signal

[aetherograph]

I will always remember something my state-appointed psychiatrist said to me when we first met and I was giving him the run-down of my life so far, and I said "and I'm homeless right now--" and he stopped me.

'I LOVE that you just said that. That you said "right now"!' he said. 'So many of my homeless patients say they're homeless like it's their job, and that means they never see a way out of it.'

'Well,' I said, knowing the statistics. 'Most people are on the street for a year on average. It's not forever, it can't be. nothing is.'

And because I had the audacity, the boldness, to assume I was only homeless right now, I actively kept living like it was a temporary state, like I deserved housing and deserved care and deserved better than i had right now. Because it was only for right now. It wasn't forever. It couldn't be. Nothing is.

I was homeless for about a year and a half. And then I got housed. And right now I live IN a house, with good friends.

But it's only for right now. It isn't forever. It can't be. Nothing is. And whatever's coming next is going to be better! Because I have the audacity, the boldness, to assume it will be and that I deserve it.

And you do too.

But you HAVE to start thinking of misfortune as only being temporary. It's just bad right now. Practise that. "It sucks--right now" "I'm miserable--right now". Just a small thing. But it makes a big difference. It makes all the difference.

Because if you always put "right now" at the end, no matter how miserable you get, you have left a little crack.

And that's how the light gets in.

[inky-embers-of-unruly-hope]

the phenomenon i'd just call nihilism. i rotated myself in it for years since i found out about my autism suddenly there was a whole new group of people who wanted me to not exist. i still fall into it from the general state of the world and it's this arrogant mindset of thinking you know the absolute truth of the world and it's better to be in the know and miserable than try any other option and be happy. and it's not easy to dig yourself out of that hole even if you genuinely want to and hate what it's doing to you and you don't want to be like that but what helps is just letting in the possibility that you might be wrong about all of it. maybe we'll find out the grass is blue. maybe fascism is the right option. maybe i'm wrong about everything i ever thought. and that doesn't mean i should doubt it all, it's still valid and has an empirical basis and it's still important to fight for what you believe in, i just need to leave some room in my perception to accept that i don't know everything. i can't. it's all just between the earth and the universe.

[generallemarc]

Nihilism is an ultimately self-defeating belief. Because if nothing matters, then everything matters the exact same amount, ie not at all. This includes the fact that nothing matters, therefore why should said fact change anything at all about how you think or live your life? If nothing matters, you have no reason to do anything differently-after all, if it's all the same in the end, why should you stop doing what you love and being happy?

[epiczeus]

Some would call that "optimistic nihilism", believing that because nothing matters there's no reason to wallow in misery and should just make your own joy.
