I been thinking about the Holocaust Envy and how it can affect people especially my community Black America…this whole Holocaust Envy is never the Jewish People fault

It’s the WW2 Founding Myth society created after the war

Let me try to explain

So after Oct 7th, a lot of Jewish Blogs were explains the thousands years of antisemitism that Christians and Muslim did

A Middle Ages drawing of a Jewish person wearing a yellow armband made me raise a eyebrow because I was basically taught ONLY the Nazis did that

Now after doing more research, I realized something

The Nazis and Holocaust was the magnum ops of the thousands years of antisemitism

Hmm, I wonder what it took the internet for me to figure that out?

Well mostly @beardedmrbean telling me it because I really only know about the exodus and holocaust when it comes to Jewish history

Hey at least I’m a zoomer American who increase his knowledge

After I dive into the actual ideology of the Nazis. I notice their scapegoat of Jews remind of another group

Black Americans

…I wonder if people think I’m a coon because I have a audacity to point out a lot of Black Americans want to put white people in gas chambers

I got the receipts

And a lot of black Americans lionizing of a fucking mcu villain really wish I was another ethic at times

Sorry, ranting

But I had a realization after Oct 7th

The Allies basically painted themselves as the knights in shining armor that fight the evil Nazis to save the Jews

When most allied powers couldn’t give two fucks about them

Hmm sound familiar?

*Side eye at all the Northerners who don’t know that many Union soldiers couldn’t care less about slaves and heavily discriminated against black people as well*

Also

Was modern Israel in ANYONE who isn’t in Israel holocaust course when it comes to the aftermath?

Sure as hell was for me, I was barely unaware of Israel existence as kid

Or that people still lives in the Holy Lands

Idk, I thought the Levant was all ruins now that people tour when I was growing up in the 00’s-2010’s.

Hmm I wonder if this make sense

“You I kinda find it weird that a lot of holocaust survivors seemly disappeared from society yet they have a lot of descendants when my generation started? Where did they go-wait, they went to Israel and formed the IDF/Mossad? Wait who are these so called Sicarii? Sound like proto Hassashins!”- me

So have I improved my Jewish history knowledge? Will I get a bagel for it? Or will I get a F- as I’m still an history illiterate non Jewish person?

Damn I thought the contempt I have toward Arab Muslims now is good sign I’m less historically illiterate

There's a lot of insanity in all of why, western Allies were in general only marginally aware of the Holocaust right up until they found their first concentration camp, Soviets are a different story.

I still don't know why the the level of Antisemitism that spawned the Holocaust wasn't touched on much, other than a possibility that folks didn't want to think about how they may have contributed

We've gone over all this before so I'll let others chime in if they feel like it though so I don't have to repeat myself to much.

While saying the Nazis were the magnum opus of millennia of anti-Semitism is technically true, it kind of muddies the actual context the Nazis arose in.

Nazi Anti-Semitism is more a consequence of Voelkisch Thought, a specifically German ideology that came to prominence during the nationalist nation-building projects (in the vein of an imagined distinct community, not just a political state-like entity) of late 19th & early 20th century Europe. Whereas most countries that took part in this primarily relied on linguistics and religion (France is the homeland of Catholic French-speakers, Poland is the homeland of Catholic Polish-speakers, etc.), Voelkisch Thought rejected this and instead argued that nations were instead the homeland of races bound by common blood and soil, leading to German genetic purity and the general hatred of any races they deemed inferior. While not the majority ideology, obviously, Voelkism thought held real sway in academic and political circles.

The Nazis rose to power specifically in the wake of Germany's humiliating loss in WW1, which was difficult to really parse for a lot of people because Germany was still occupying French land. This was made only worse by the largely incredibly unstable (including socially, politically, & economically) Weimar Republic that followed the Empire. All this resentment and anxiety led to the stab-in-the-back myth, where the military was succeeding but it was the homefront that failed, particularly thanks to sabotage by Jewish and radical/revolutionary elements (don't forget that Germany basically had a socialist revolution in the immediate aftermath of WW1).

All this meant the stage was set for the Nazis to grift their way into power by playing off the public's anxieties and scapegoating minorities, specifically the Jews, while positioning themselves as an ally against the communists to an agitated Reichstag.

TL;DR: Nazism wasn't just the manifestation of general historical anti-Semitism, it arose from a very specific strain of eugenic nationalist thought.

90s movies: Psychopharmacology is as good as a lobotomy. If you take pills to treat your mental illness it will literally murder your imaginary friends and you will become a boring, lotus-eating conformist drone.

Me after taking my meds: drives the scenic route home to see if there are any geese on the pond and does a little dance in line at the grocery store and comes home to throw everything in my fridge into a stew pot because I can finally taste food again while singing songs at my birds in which I replace all the instances of "she" with "Cheese" and doing a Dolly Parton impression on the phone to my sister

"What were you like before taking the meds tho"

Two weeks ago I was posting about eating cake frosting for dinner.

comradesepsis

I feel like it's worth mentioning that being on The Wrong Meds can indeed do the 90s movie thing to you.

Like, if you go on meds and that happens, it's not because whatever's going on with you is jut Too Severe or that you're doomed or only people with Other Illnesses get to have meds that make them feel actually good and you have to settle for "miserable but somehow so hollow I no longer care about the misery" and be grateful you're no longer actively suicidal or whatever.

If that shit happens to you, tell your fucking doctor. And if your doctor doesn't take you seriously, or acts like That's Just How Being On Meds Is, ditch them! Find a new doctor!! Because that is NOT how being on meds is supposed to work! That means the meds are not working correctly!!

draconym

Reblogging to agree and say that what was happening to me was (and to an extent still is) severe and was the result of manifold health problems and has taken the better part of a year to effectively treat. I did not expect medication to be this effective. But it is. So if you think that you are untreatable, get a second opinion.

there is a single pill i can take to immediately live a day as the best version of myself-- not a superhero, not a perfect genius, but a good dude who can read and write and do the dishes. im optimistic and coherent and can plan for the future. i write novels and walk the dog and remember to shower and brush my teeth.

if i don't take this pill i spend the day as a dirty, inept husk, a sad sack of well-meaning but futile intentions just sapient enough to be dimly aware of everything im unable to be.

this pill is incredibly difficult to obtain a steady monthly supply of because when normal people take it they have a little more fun at parties.

postapocalypticcottagecore

Counterpoint: At least if I spend the remainder of my natural life as a dirty, inept husk, a sad sack of well-meaning but futile intentions just sapient enough to be dimly aware of everything I'm unable to be... at least I'll know I'm me, not a fake version of myself created by medication. Nor do I have to worry about regressing if I run out, the repeat prescription doesn't come in time etc.

Not dissing OP's choice to take advantage of the meds, but they're not for me.

draconym

Hey, so, this is kind of the attitude that made me afraid to take meds that I really benefit from: the idea that who you are on medication is somehow "not really you."

The person I was when I was very depressed did not feel like the real me. That was a version of me that was very ill. The "real me" is the me that is able to dance at stoplights and make art and enjoy food and laugh at jokes. And for now, I need pharmaceutical help to get back there.

The assistance that medication provides doesn't make me any less The Real Me than wearing glasses or taking painkillers. Depression is a physical illness. If you try medication and you don't like the way it makes you feel, then it's not a good medication for you. But you do get to choose, and I'm glad I have the opportunity to choose to actually be myself again.

Kill the idea that suffering is somehow authentic and worthy, and take the fucking drugs. I lost years of my life to this kind of thinking and I have nothing to show for it other than a handful of embarrassing memories and a house full of clutter I don’t want or need. There’s at least five regularly used different classes of antidepressants! And about four more specifically for anxiety! They’re all acting on your brain in different ways and you will have different reactions to each of them! Don’t give up and accept misery because you’ve mistakenly believed the misery is your real personality!

i would like to remind everyone smugly using "usamerican" that you are not being woke or reclaiming anything you just don't understand how adjectives or languages work

kurganfilledwithbearbones

american - national of the united states of america

north american - individual living in or a national of a country located on the continent of north america

south american - individual living in or a national of a country located on the continent of south america

canadian - definitionally, especially lately, person who does not fucking want to be called an american, because "american" in both canadian and american english has the semantic weight of "national of the united states of america"

and this is not, in fact, limited to english

amerískur - icelandic adjective for american (loanword, more on the slang side, bandarískur more often used)

ameríkani - icelandic noun describing a national of the united states of america

américain - french adjective or noun describing a national of the united states of america

you cannot brute force a sea change in multiple languages simply because you personally misunderstand the difference between etymology and semantics and also assume (in, hilariously, a very american-centric way) that the billion-plus individuals must have a closer connection to the concept of continent than they do to nationality or other regional identities. a catfish is not literally a cat. it is a completely random trick of language evolution that nationals of the united states of america are not called unitans or vespuccians. calm down and stop being irritating

IE: They wasted money they didn't need to over moral panic. And it ended up being a massive fucking virtue signal. IMAGINE MY SHOCK >.>

The story claiming there were hundreds of bodies, circulated internationally for weeks.

The news about how they found nothing? No major headlines, you basically have to find out on your own.

gsirvitor

Those stories also inspired Leftists to attack, and burn down Catholic churches, and the media refused to tell the nation about it, or the later retraction about bodies being found.

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.
