My next Black History Month request:

Pick one of James Baldwin's works and read it!!! The Fire Next Time is an excellent essay, most of us are familiar with the quote on gay white people from The Last Interview but not the rest of it. If Beale Street Could Talk even has a movie!

An Israeli rep recently said that American Jewish leftist orgs which don’t unconditionally support Israel are a “cancer” on the Jewish community.

Just read an article about That Mayoral Wife cheering on Hamas during Oct. 7

Argued that attacking all Israeli media as inherently “apartheid slop” is an inherently fucked up position. Was verbally attacked.

The discourse is so irreparably broken. And that’s by design. It’s all by design and it has my questioning my own sanity.

Anyway I turned 37 yesterday, m my career has been thoroughly destroyed by the US anti-intellectual post-truth turn, and I’m unhappy.

[tartrazeen]

It hasn't been destroyed. It's under attack, and it's needed now more than ever, but it hasn't been destroyed.

But damn, I cannot emphasize "under attack" nearly enough. What a brutal onslaught it's already been.

[historicity-was-already-taken]

It certainly feels destroyed.

[viking369]

Isn't it amazing how many Jews are now apparently antisemites because they aren't Zionists?

[historicity-was-already-taken]

But then you’re a Zionist Bad Jew [tm] when you call out the anti-Semitism baked into the discourse.

[historicity-was-already-taken]

Jewish media is jumping into the neo-Bundism vs. Zionism discourse and it’s….ahistorical.

I don’t really care. I care about the gentiles who have decided that any Jew who objects to anti-Semitism in the Palestine Liberation movements is a wrong thinking enemy.

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

Pretty much all of the Bundism discourse disgusts me. Fucking evaluate the movement within the context of it’s time

[historicity-was-already-taken]

Actually I've decided that I'm fascinated by this very specific discourse. It mirrors how shit played out in the 30s and it's kind of like, beautiful performance art but no one realizes what they're reenacting.

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

I am deeply interested in this take and want to know more but also am afraid of attracting the wrath of the internet. I feel like going “Waaooow… 🍿🍿🍿… it’s just like my history books….🍿🍿🍿…” at this discourse will provoke scary things

[historicity-was-already-taken]

I can expand! All the factionalism stems from opposing ideas over how to do Judaism where and when we are. That’s what the drama was about in 1930s Poland, and that’s what the drama is about today. But what’s fascinating about what I’m seeing playing out in insta, is that we’re relitigating those 1930s Polish factions through the lens of our own hopes, dreams, anxieties, and fears; and of course, our distorted understandings of the past. We’re appropriating labels which are anachronistic to our context to attempt to understand our context.

The fundamental issue at stake in 2026 is this: what does it mean to be a Jew in a global context wherein there is a sovereign Jewish nation-state in Eretz Yisrael?

But that was not the question Bundists and and various flavors of Zionists etc were asking in interwar Poland. They were asking: how should we behave as Jews in a nation-state in which we are the unwanted Other.

[robot-roadtrip-rants]

Huh…I’d bet cold hard cash that if you dug through Jewish history you’d find that the factionalism in the 20s and 30s wasn’t the first iteration, either. This is pure instinct here, it just feels like such a profoundly Jewish argument that it’s hard to believe that the interwar period was the first time it happened. Though the more I think on it, the more the Haskalah and the 2nd Temple era factionalism seems to fall into this category. Again, gut feeling, no historical analysis here.

All that said, I would say that question you attribute to the interwar period—how do we behave as Jews in a nation-state in which we are the unwanted Other—has always been the underlying question for this debate in the Diaspora. That’s the Jewish side of the Jewish Question. It is undeniably the unspoken part of “what does it mean to be a Jew in a global context wherein there is a sovereign Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael,” at least to Diapsora Jewry. If 10/7 had not been accompanied by a shocking spike in antisemitism (not to mention the growing antisemitism of the many years prior), I don’t think our community would be fighting like this. We are still being treated as the unwanted Other. The Jewish Question still lays like a yoke on our backs. And that is a HUGE part of the debate over the existence of Israel and the role it plays in Jewish life. For the first time in millennia, we have a guaranteed refuge. And said refuge is run by extremists committing atrocities. What now?

[historicity-was-already-taken]

Oh absolutely. The fundamental question wrt how to do Judaism with or without a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael is like….the driving force behind all of these various politics debates, and literally the fundamental character of Judaism itself. But I’ve mainly been speaking in the context of the 1930s, so.

Also, you encapsulated all of the fundamental issues so beautifully. Just like, weeping @ ur writing style.

how does Sollux cheer up Aradia when she is sad

Sollux thinks hes very bad at emotional support but aradia seeks comfort in him all the time because he knows what works for her. Aradia gets very touchy when shes sad which makes sollux act sweeter towards her. He’s very realistic and when shes unreasonable he lets her know, his words are blunt but he kisses and hugs her and takes care of her if she needs that.

Sollux worries a lot about her, even if shes strong and powerful now he can’t help being protective of her even if he couldn’t do anything for her, he still sees her as a normal girl.

No news is, unfortunately, also bad news. It means we've come up with no new viable solutions. So we're still left with worst outcomes only (the tank spilling 7000 gallons of methyl methacrylate or exploding).

[should-be-sleeping]

Firefighters were able to examine the tank and discovered a possible crack, which may be helping relieve pressure.
