also why is it that every single zionist on tumblr dot colm takes pains to stress how jewish they are in their screen names, but if i say that i'm an anti-zionist jew, and that's partly why i care about this stuff, it's "as a jew"ing? or doing the equivalent of being a 'pick me'? just because i think it's gauche and tacky to put my jewishness on everything doesn't mean i'm not proud. growing up around jews (speaking anecdotally here tho, maybe it's different where you're from), we didn't really go to great lengths to advertise. not because we were ashamed, but because where i was from, the people who did that were obnoxious evangelical christians. we didn't evangelize.
do whatever you want, display your faith n culture however you want (even better if it triggers the fash epic style), but i'm getting. mixed messages is all.
besides, i don't want to be like you, but that's not because you're one of the baaaaaad jews, or whatever you've told yourself in order to sleep at night, it's because i find you personally repellent and don't want to be associated with your genocidal project. being disliked isn't the same as being rebels. you can't crybully your way into acceptance. and while it's true that antisemites see us as all having a kind of ethnoreligious/racialized hivemind (the impetus behind the "oh you just don't want to be seen with us because you want to appease antisemites, but they'll never fuck you!" logic), that cuts both ways. we BOTH wear the get-along shirt of bigotry. you're stuck in here with me and you have to listen to me and take my points on their own merits instead of creating some baroque fake logic where i'm acting out of self-preservation to appease people who hate us. plus, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, antisemites are not logical, or else they wouldn't be antisemites. by saying i have to choose between genocides ("either we genocide palestinians to make room for shopping malls, or the holocaust will happen again!") you are ceding ground that needn't be ceded, and you're being a weird little freak.
get some materialism in you and then come chat. i'll only be a little mean i prommy
