Welcome to hell.

something that i think a lot of non-jews (and some jews) don’t realize about the word goy is that it’s a neutral word. And like many neutral words, it *can* be used in a negative way. Someone can say the word ‘Japanese’ in a derogatory way, but that doesn’t mean every time you hear someone say it, they’re being insulting

yall when we say “the Bundists all got murdered” its not taunting Bundists for dying in a genocide. the Bundists thought being Bundists would protect them from Bolshevik & Nazi violence and notably it did not. “the Bundists all got murdered” is the evidence that Bundism failed, not an insult to their memory. Bundism is at its core the belief that assimilation will save you and there has never been a time in history where assimilation has saved anyone.

leftists be like: heyyyyy you have to tolerate the whole world wanting you dead. including people actively trying. in fact you have to be endlessly empathetic to the people actively trying to kill you cuz if you arent you deserve to die even more. the fact that you are being protected from them trying to kill you is evil. maybe even help them kill you!! what do you mean im being bigoted? youre the one being bigoted!

ok, because i just saw a terrible take, i feel compelled to say that there is no "fic market" to "oversaturate" in fandom. good gravy.

[cordeliawhohung-deactivated2024]

i need everyone reading this post to remember that writing is not "content." writing is art. you don't look at a painting of an ocean and say "eh, it's overdone." you look at it and think its beautiful, because it is, and y'all better start treating writing the same fucking way before you lose your favorite authors for good.

Art is not something to be capitalized on. Stop treating it like it is.

[unsolicited-opinions]

In today's example of what happens when much of a generation mistakenly believes they can become educated through memes and reels:

Let's be precise about what @queercodedangel got wrong.

What the IRD list actually was:

A private notebook, handed to one person at the IRD, listing individuals Orwell thought were unsuitable to write anti-stalinist propaganda - not people he wanted arrested, surveilled, fired, or harmed - and none of them were.

Orwell believed these specific people were Stalinist sympathizers who would undermine the work of countering Stalinism. You can legitimately think that was a bad call - it was certainly a morally complicated one for Orwell. It was not, however, the act of an imperialist snitch. It was the act of someone who hated authoritarian Stalinism enough to do something uncomfortable about it, while continuing to publicly criticize the British state.

The tension between those two things evaporates the moment you understand Orwell's position: Stalinism wasn't socialism. It was fascism with better branding, and it was destroying the socialist project from within.

History proved Orwell right.

Orwell:

Got shot through the throat while fighting fascists in Spain

Spent decades producing some of the most devastating critiques of British imperialism ever written, including Burmese Days, and Shooting an Elephant.

Called himself a Democratic Socialist his entire adult life and meant it.

Wrote that "every line of serious work I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism."

@queercodedangel is taking one late-life episode, stripping it of all context, and canceling one of the sharpest anti-totalitarian, anti-imperialist pens of the twentieth century - because he wouldn't excuse Stalin's crimes. That's apparently the price of admission to the 2026 left - being ignorant enough to deny that Stalin was a monster.

Calling that "snitching" tells you nothing about Orwell. It tells you that for some people, anti-Stalinism is a greater sin than imperialism ever was - and you can only take that position if you know nothing about what Stalinism was.

That sucking vacuum of ignorance where actual knowledge should be doesn't inspire a single second of hesitation before they confidently preach provable falsehoods. The less @queercodedangel knows about Orwell, the IRD list, or Stalin's crimes, the more confident the verdict. This is what happens when a generation decides memes and reels are sufficient substitutes for actually reading anything.

Orwell spent his life fighting this kind of epistemic laziness - the willingness to flatten complex realities into politically useful, emotionally resonant, self-affirming fictions.

This is why Gen Z desperately needs to read the Orwell and Huxley they've been told to avoid.

There hasn't been a generation in living memory simultaneously more vulnerable to propaganda and more thoroughly convinced they are completely immune to it.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

[kosher-salt]

@nonbinaryjudean you made such a good point here and I just want to add the fun bonus layer of them also simultaneously denying that the tribe they are claiming heritage of is in fact the real tribe. Their argument eats itself. Where pray tell do they think the genetic model to compare against.... came from?

I find it so interesting how some people accept and reaffirm the fact Israel has religious importance in both Islam and Christianity, and say that Jerusalem should “be for everyone”. Then they shit their pants when Jews say it’s also important for them.

So Muslims and Christians have a right to certain sites in Israel because they have deep religious significance, but Jews don’t? They have no right to their own damn indigenous land? To the birthplace of their entire culture, religion, language, and identity? The amount of mental gymnastics and Jew hatred required to make these statements is mind numbing.

And for anyone that’s curious, Muslims and Christians already can and have been to Jerusalem for decades. The whole “Jerusalem is for everyone” is so fucking stupid because literally anyone can visit already. And this argument is even more rich when considering the Temple Mount, the literal holiest site in Judaism, has highly restricted access to non-Muslims. Jews cannot visit their own holiest site without massive restrictions and they are not allowed to pray there. Only as recent as this year have SOME Jews been allowed to pray there (discreetly and out of sight). They’re facing these restrictions in their own indigenous land, no less! You would think since Israel is a “Jewish supremacist” country they’d get rid of these restrictions in their own fucking capital city.

Mind you Muslims and Christians are free to visit the western wall and pray there to their heart’s content. Though most Muslims wouldn’t since they can just go up to Temple Mount. The reason the western wall is holy to Jews is because it’s the closest they can get to the Temple Mount without facing restrictions. All of this to say Jews have no problem sharing their land making Jerusalem “for everyone”.
