I'm just saying, Neo-Nazis and Leftists should be easier to tell apart when it comes to them talking about Jews. You know. Ideally.
Update: As far as I can tell, from sadly extensive exposure, Neo-Nazis and Leftists are now indistinguishable when it comes to talking about Jews.
Incessant obsessive conspiracy theories about Jews that are thousands of years old, occasionally updated with fun modern talking points. (Soros Space Lasers, Starbucks, Spotify)
Fetishization of Jews (Sounds contradictory, isn't)
Obsessed with supercessionism
Blame Jews for their life not working out the way they wanted it to and also every social ill that occurs to them really
Enjoy and justify cutting Jews out of public life (Bar tokens you'll turn on later)
Enjoy and justify lighting Jews on fire
Enjoy shooting Jews outside Jewish buildings (And inside too but hey)
Failure to realize that with the Jews dead the regime needs new enemies to justify its existence... and has also been going after said other enemies the whole time.
Has turned all of this into a fandom with religious aspects that is self-radicalizing at a dangerous pace with a tangible death toll.
Neo-Nazis obsess about Jews murdering white babies, while Leftists obsess about Jews murdering Black and Brown babies. Also, Neo-Nazis think Jews are working with Muslims and Catholics to destroy White people, and Leftists think Jews are working with Christians and the West to destroy Islam.
So far as I can tell, those are the only differences.
is this saying that the ongoing genocide in gaza is a conspiracy theory and not the broad consensus of genocide scholars (including jewish ones)
Yes. Quite simply, genocide means something--the deliberate effort to wipe out a people by killing them or targeting their way of life and keeping them from continuing on.
If Israel was intending to commit genocide...
Then why isn't everyone in Gaza already dead?
They have the means, the ability, and the tools to do so.
The only answers that Jew-haters can come up to explain how 98% of the population of Gaza was still alive after two years of intense urban warfare--when the fighting in Mariopol, Ukraine, had a higher death toll despite taking less time--tend to fall into one of three categories:
Incompetence--the IDF intends to kill them all, but just somehow is too stupid to manage it.
Conspiratorial--the IDF intends to kill them all, but is being sneaky about it, in order to distract... somehow. Which is just "Untrustworthy Jews" in a different package.
Abject denial--"La la, la, The Jews are trying to kill them all! Hitler was right! I can't hear you and your evidence and details! I know in my heart that the Genocide is Real, just like how my parents know that Jesus is their Lord and Savior!"
And given that the "genocide scholars" in this case include a woman who has claimed a higher death toll and that the Israelis eat Palestinians and feed the leftovers to dogs, and a "genocide scholar group" that has no requirements for joining, and thus has "Emperor Palpatine" as a listed member... and several NGOs and states admitted that they would have to alter the definition of "genocide" to make what happened in Gaza count...
Yeah, there was a "broad consensus" in Nazi Germany that Jews were subhuman creatures that needed to be exterminated for the safety of the human race. Doesn't make it right.
Furthermore, in answer to the question...
No, it's how the Right and the Left have shaken hands and agreed that Jews Are The Problem And There Is One (Final) Solution that is acceptable. Going back to the original post, when a Leftist African-American politician was promoting a Jew-hating propaganda piece created by the KKK that claimed that Jews were responsible for 9/11.
Of course, the fact that the Left now loves the KKK-coined anti-Jew slur of "Zio" says everything.
the legal definition (UN Genocide Convention, 1948) doesn't require total extermination. it requires acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or IN PART, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group
i'm not gonna argue genocidal intent, since that would require convincing you that there was intent which is clearly impossible, but we can talk about ethnic cleansing:
"The UN Commission of Experts described (United Nations) ethnic cleansing as "a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas," and stated that the coercive practices used can include "murder, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention... forcible removal, displacement and deportation of civilian population... wanton destruction of property."
so forcible displacement is part of the UN definition of ethnic cleansing
"Nearly all of Gaza's current population of 2.1 million people has been displaced, lacking access to sufficient shelter, food, life-saving medical services, clean water, education and livelihoods."
"More than 60% of the population had lost their homes... Gaza's economy has contracted by 84%... 'The scale and extent of deprivation across living conditions, livelihoods/income, food security, gender equality, and social inclusion, have pushed back human development in the Gaza Strip by 77 years,'" the assessment said.
"Over 371,888 housing units have been destroyed or damaged, more than 50% of hospitals are non-functional, nearly all schools destroyed or damaged, and the economy has contracted by 84% in Gaza."
"Approximately 81% of all structures in the Gaza Strip are damaged... An estimated 320,622 housing units have been damaged." -- based on publicly available satellite imagery
it's not "sneaky" to not just literally nuke the strip and kill every single person inside. you can ethnically cleanse a group of people by destroying all their housing, their education, their economy, access to food, their healthcare, etc., and generally make the place unlivable. this has historically been an ethnic cleansing tactic, such as in the case of the holodomor in ukraine, and i would not say this is unique to israel or jews
it's also very weird to project all these anti-semitic tropes onto me; i didn't say any of that and i think they're gross, and i'm sorry if people have said stuff like that to you in the past
And we have a Goalpost Move and a Denial of Antisemitism/Accusation of Projection twofer! That's Category Three, baaaaaybeee! -_-
So, to summarize:
You came onto a post talking about the Jewish experience with how chummy Leftists and Neo-Nazis have become over the last several years when it comes to hating Jews--to the point that Leftists are now endorsing Marjorie Taylor "Jewish Space Lasers" Greene--and basically went, "Well, have you considered that the consensus is that Jews are actually the bad guys and are doing what the Nazis did to them?"
And when I pushed back on that, pointing out the bias of the sources and how the situation does not show a genocide, you basically went, "Nuh uh" and shifted the topic, refused to engage with the discussion of antisemitism, and accused me of projecting antisemitism onto you, when you are engaging in antisemitism.
(And people have said that stuff to me this past week. This past day. It is constant, and if you exist as a Jew in public, your fellow "antizionists" make sure to attack you at every turn for daring to exist as a Jew.)
but you're not disputing the ethnic cleansing, right? clearly, you don't agree that it's a genocide, but are you saying my sources are wrong and it doesn't fit the UN definition of ethnic cleansing? or do we agree on that?
You're the one who barged in here and demanded that I turn out my pockets in a tone that screamed bad faith, accusing me of conspiratorial thinking. Why do I have to answer you when your response to seeing "Hey, Leftists and Neo-Nazis are becoming indistinguishable from a Jewish perspective" is "But, but, but... Da Jooz ARE EBIL! Everyone Agrees!"
I owe you and your entire Jew-hating movement nothing until you police your own. At a fucking minimum, kick out the people who call Jews "inbred" (Piker), cannibals (Albanese), and the like... instead of, yanno, elevating them to be speakers of the movement. Until then, all I see is an old quote from Sartre:
You did that to a T.
so we agree on the ethnic cleansing, then. you're not disputing that
*holds a candle up to your right ear and blows through your left ear. The candle goes out. The extinguished wick is still brighter than the intelligence and comprehension in your eyes, though*
Why is it so important to you that you get me to agree with you on this?
it's not important; i don't think you're going to agree with me. i just presented a good case that you're defending ethnic cleansing and you didn't dispute it. we can stop talking here and you can just block me if you want
Ah yes. Because this is the perfect thread to have that discussion. You were literally just fishing for "proof" that "Jews are evil and engaging in genocide ethnic cleansing, and this random Jew I found online didn't dispute it! See, they admit it!" ...on a post regarding how Jews are treated by both the Far-Right and Far-Left as evil, murderous, and subhuman."
Sincerely, fuck you.
No they aren't.
This dazeddwarf person critiqued/asked for clarifation on something mentioned on the post. They didn't do it in a October 7 apologist way, they didn't call it a "Holocaust". They just critiqued a thing already mentioned on the post. You undoubtedly heard some fucked up things but in the replies to this you act like anyone who critiques the alleged* actions of Isreal thinks jews are subhuman.
*(The reason I'm not going into whether they were factually incorrect or not on the genocide part is because I have not looked into it and do not know)
"Why is it so important to you that you get me to agree with you on this?"
Probably because you mentioned it. The phenomenon of someone talking about a serious issue, getting asked for clarification on a specific thing they said, then getting really mad and defensive at the other person for asking and going "why do you care so much" has been a plauge on this website since before I first joined this website over a decade ago and likely before that as well.
Perhaps it's something about human nature (I hope not) that all of our movies and stories warned us about and the product of me coming into adulthood when all of this began (I'm in my twenties) but what the fuck is with this idea that you have to chose between condemning the massacre at October 7 and caring about Palestinian civilians?
No I think dead kids are a tragedy whether they're Isreali or Palestinian and this isn't a humble brag, it should be the bare fucking minimum.
I once read an article by a gay man from Palestine. He mentioned "the tragedy that occurred" at October 7, the rest of the article was about the suffering of Palestinians. One sentence, that's literally all it takes- yet people act like their "caring about Palestinians" street cred will get sucked out of them by condemning it. So they don't acknowledge it or worse, excuse it. (And then there's things like other neighbouring countries not wanting to take Palestinian refugees but not getting any flack for it from westerners or the richer parts of Gaza with open restaurants while others starve that no one seems to care about)
It's extra weird happened at the same time/slightly after Ukraine was in the cultural spotlight. I've heard it said by someone that if Ukrainian soldiers killed a group of Russian civilians they would condemn it too.I whole heartedly agree and if Ukraine hit student dormitories that's wrong too. None of my "caring for Ukrainians" washes away by condemning that.
People say it's alright because of Israeli oppression. Did you know that after WW2 there was a group of holocaust survivors called the Nakam who wanted to enact revenge by poisoning German water supplies? Even this was condemned. Did you know of the Omagh bombing where the IRA left a car bomb that killed civilians and even the IRA THEMSELVES apologised for the attack denying it was meant to do so? You know Imperial Japan was allied with the nazis, you still feel bad for the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
But no we can't condemn October 7 because Isreal did bad things. Not like Nazi Germany, the British or Imperial Japan.
It's extra rich when it's someone like Americans saying it's alright because it's "stolen land". Alright lets say it is, so is the US. So if tomorrow some native American equivalent of Hamas killed your civilian loved ones purely because they were American, including children that would be justified too?
That would just be "fighting for freedom" or whatever? Or is it only alright when it's someone far away you don't identify with?
This post is mainly directed at the "Pro Palestine" side because as a tumblr user that's the one I'm the most exposed to but applies to anyone doing similar dehumanisation on the "pro Isreal" side.
Fear mongering headlines aside this is strongly country dependent and some of the questions in the survey are worded in a stupid manner. Here's the actual study/survery: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/assets/news/iwd-2026-global-charts-final.pdf
And yes replies are restricted so I had to actually log on to my old discourse blog to post this shit.
Edit: @fullmetalcarer another tumblr user who asked for their data in the notes. Here it seemingly is.
i mean, still not as bad as columbus, so…
@tlatollotl can you put any validity to Ramirez’s garbage?
Ramirez is trying to portray Mesoamerican sacrifice as strictly evil with no consideration of cultural beliefs in order to somehow justify the atrocities Europeans committed toward indigenous people from 1492 onwards. Did Mesoamericans sacrifice people? Absolutely. Is that evil/savage/barbaric/horrific? Not necessarily. It really depends on the culture you grew up in and whether or not you have the capacity to understand cultural relativism (I’ve talked to some people who are simply incapable of understanding another culture). I do recommend checking out this YouTube video of Marshall Sahlins explaining Fijian cannibalism for those that struggle with cultural relativism. Sahlins walks you through Fijian cultural beliefs regarding “cooked men” and “raw women”. If you can follow along and accept Fijian cultural beliefs regarding cannibalism, then you should be able to accept Mesoamerican beliefs regarding sacrifice.
Copy pasting my comment as a reblog because I know sometimes reply disagreeing with a posts op gets deleted. Also didn't come from @argumate s blog but using it as a jumping off point since I found this reblog chain much further down:
"Did Mesoamericans sacrifice people? Absolutely. Is that evil/savage/barbaric/horrific? Not necessarily.

What the fuck? Yeah and Europeans burning witches was just their culture, and any slavers taking slaves was just their culture. The moment you're bringing up culture to justify cruelty, culture stops mattering.
I know tumblr is brain rotted into thinking the world consists of two groups, oppressors and oppressed, but you don't get to call out legitimate cruelty by Europeans then go "noo guys it's culture, relativism" when someone dares call out cruelty by YOUR ancestors. They're both culture asswipe. Sometimes cultural practices are just bad and cruel.

Scald - Found that after this post got popular that a ton of transandrobros are scattering to defend the term unironically, we may have accidentally popularized the worst discourse on tumblr ever and we’re gonna see it a lot now
the worst discourse ever
I wouldn't normally interact with this as it is the kind overly pedantic of terminally online bs I used to get really up in arms over as a teen (and based on the fact I saw it while browsing the art blog of someone who's apparently 18 I might not be far off) but the second screenshot stood out to me.
Isn't this literally a bunch of mostly white people talking over a non white person discussing whether something is racist? is the op laughing at them white? Also, op, stop hiding behind screenshots and actually reblog or tag people if you want to talk shit about named people. Here @vermilionstarlight @intertransstuff. I'm not sure if this is also what they meant with white saviors, sorry if I'm accidentally twisting your words.
As far is I understand the discourse is the old "you can't say x can affect you negatively because x isn't oppressed" spiel? That's dumb. By that logic you wouldn't be able to talk about how black and middle eastern men are framed as turbo rapists of poor white women because "men aren't oppressed".
I’m a person of color lol, men aren’t oppressed, people of color are oppressed, hope this helps
is misognyblanc the hill you really wanna die on
Well you aren't speaking over people about their own issues so I'll give you that and that's the only reason I stuck my head into this. The entire black and white "oppressed vs non oppressed" spiel is dumb and you remind me of the people that used to dominate the site 10 years ago but thankfully left/grew up and you remind me of 2016 tumblr (yes exactly ten years ago would be late 2015 not 2016, but people who were there know what I mean when I say 2016 tumblr). I disagree with you on just about everything and you're a clown but I learned back then that arguing over the internet leads nowhere so why bother. At least terms like "terminally online" and "touch grass" have come along that describe my feelings on the matter.... The only reason I commented was thinking the discourse had reached the point of white people telling non white people what is and isn't offensive to them.
There's an expression in my language I can't remember the english translation of rn, fly fucking. Like something is the level of insignificant it's like focusing on the flies on a wall mating.
It's not that I care about "misogyblanc" or whatever, it's the above reasons combined with the outrage over it being nuclear levels of fly fucking.
For anyone reading this in the posistion teen me was in: don't worry. Most people don't think like that. It's just tumblr/the internet. In fact it's easier to avoid this shit now. Op watch the flies fuck in peace, you're still a coward for naming and shaming people on tumblr without reblogging them directly though.

Sorry to break the regularly scheduled programming here and this post will be deleted by the end of the day because I, too, hate when some random fandom/meme/etc account breaks character to talk about current events and it's probably a bit weird to have a fandom porn blog talk about real life war and tragedy.
I just got a follow from someone excusing Hamas. No, I'm NOT calling someone that just for talking about the tragedy that is innocent Palestinians getting starved and caught up in the crossfire, for that is a tragedy. I'm talking about someone re-blogging stuff about the "Hamas rape myth" and whitewashing the October 7 attack.
Hamas supporters fuck off. Tumblr as a whole seems more pro Palestine than Isreal so extremists of the former outnumber the latter but I commented on this on another blog ages ago and got someone saying there was no innocent Palestinians or whatever. Those people can fuck off too.
There's this creepy fucking idea that you have to either call what the victims of October 7 went through a tragedy or what Palestinian civilians went through in the aftermath a tragedy and anyone who goes "uhm actually kids being killed isn't that bad/didn't happen when it's THAT side doing it" is the exact sort of person I'd imagine falling for brainwashing and excuse atrocities if it was their own country where the conflict was taking place. Dead children don't become more or less dead because they're Israeli or Palestinian. I don't remember who said it but someone pointed that if Ukraine started killing Russian civilians their supporters would condemn that too. It's really not that hard, yet somehow people seem allergic to the concept of accountability.
I highly doubt Hamas even cares about PALESTINIAN lives. They are happy enough to use "their people" as a meat shield to garner international sympathy. They also seem strangely well fed while "their people" starve.
i have a genuine quashtion dont make fun of me.
are sex talks real did your parents give you a sex talk?
yes they did give me a sex talk
no they did not give me a sex talk period
no but they gave me a book about it (and didnt talk about the book)

nuance??????????????????//
"Nuance" button presser but my option was straight up not there.
I grew up with a shitload of animals, was a curios kid and my parents didn't really censor any info for me so I almost certainly just learned from hearing the animals mated, got pregnant/laid eggs and had babies. I'd actually recommend this because it avoided all the social/moral explanations. My parents also bred dogs. Once, when I was taking a bath with my mom (very young) I asked how it could be so difficult for a dog to give birth when the newborn puppies weren't THAT much bigger than a really large dog shit, that's when I found out babies didn't come out the ass. Since I never really had a specific "talk" and just asked questions I used to worry I was missing some really obvious fact.
Other hijinks:
When I was in kindergarden I saw some book about the stages of a fetus developing and the first pic showed a couple sleeping in bed next to each other. So I thought people had sex in their sleep. I once again asked mom (she drove) if men had bones in their penises "no" "then how do they control them?" (I meant manuever).
This is memory I "remember remembering" if that makes any sense, but around the same age, after I saw that book, I had a sleepover with a boy (I'm female) and his mom wouldn't let us share a bed (??? we were kindergardners?) and I think that I thought she didn't want us to have sex in our sleep but I'm not sure I thought that. It's a story i remember remembering if that makes sense.
Let's kill this guy with mama.
tumblr is a website where people confidently tell me in the notes of my post that they would (in graphic detail) beat me to death in my wheelchair for making their imaginary child uncomfortable , and then 3 posts later they’re like “HE CALLED ME SLURS!!!! MORG CALLED ME A BITCH AND BITCH IS A SLUR!!! Morg is a VIOLENT BIGOT!” and half of this stupid ass fucking userbase will be like “OMG HE IS??? I CANT BELIEVE THIS!!”
Backing this op as a reblog before OP deletes replies or something:
Hi, I'm the person this is about. Noone ever threatened to "beat OP to death in their wheelchair". Op made a post saying they wanted put on a mask to scare chase children around for asking about their disability. I posted this exact quote:
"Not sure if you're joking but why would you, an adult, take out your anger on a small child instead of confronting the parent? Even ignoring that the only thing you'd achieve is making them hate you and for the parent/anyone watching sock you in the face for pestering a kid and by then it'd be well deserved."
Op then starts yelling about annoying kids or something, and how I should "live the life I deserve" and gloating about their hypothetical enemy being dragged away in handcuffs.
The slur thing is because OP then makes their FIRST vaugepost and I respond that yeah the only of disagreement was that you should go to the parents to which Op calls me a bitch and I offhand mentioned this while talking to someone else about how to deal with rude kids. Op then shows up angry I didn't realise they were "just joking", I ask why they didn't just say that. (They were also yelling about people "imagining beating them over and over" which I only see now as at this point I was just ignoring them because I was talking to someone else)
They then seemingly respond to that by making this post claiming I "threatened to beat them to death". You shouldn't believe everything thing at first value, not op, not me. So you can read the whole thing here:
First post an initial crash out: https://www.tumblr.com/crippled-peeper/797326795087167488/if-one-more-child-points-at-me-and-loudly-asks

Lying about someone threatening to beat them to death: You're on it.
No point in interacting with OP but lying about people sending you death threats is gross as hell.
Bonus because while I got the screenshots for this I got a notif from OP accusing me of "stalking" for saying the wheelchair death threat lie was gross (Blocked now. I had to temp unblock them after to screenshot)
All of my friends that work at wildlife rehab centers have had to untangle animals from this stuff, or had animals brought in that died in it. This is especially nasty for small owl species.
Why would you put fake spiderwebs outside your home anyways? Do what my family does and use them as indoor decorations, it's easier to clean up that way and it makes the living room look cool.
Good to know for us animal lovers, if you’re going to use them please keep it to decir inside the house, not out!
Oh shit had no idea!! Thank you!! Source:
The classic Halloween decor can be a silent threat to furry friends if displayed unsafely.
"As autumn advances, leaves begin to fall from trees and a chill runs through the air, making it increasingly clear the spooky season is upon us. But as people decorate for Halloween, they may be setting up a trick rather than a treat for surrounding critters: That fake spider webbing commonly seen across the country every October is just as effective at trapping critters as a real web is.
Kathryn Dudeck, the wildlife director at Georgia's Chattahoochee Nature Center, told Snopes via phone that fake spider webbing, normally made out of a synthetic, fiber-like polyester, is similar to tightly woven fiberglass.
"The webbing actually adheres to the skin of a toad," she said. "For raptors and songbirds, it sticks to their feathers and then settles in between them, almost like velcro." ...
Dudeck said that animals most at risk with fake cobwebs are small birds, including hummingbirds and small owls, bats and reptiles, like toads...
The danger of fake webs doesn’t immediately go away after Halloween, either. A 2019 article from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation explains that if not properly disposed of, birds might use the material to build their nests. In a worst-case scenario, the webbing could catch and trap any chicks in the nest. The solution to all of this is fairly easy: stop using fake webs outside.
Instead, consider moving the webbing indoors, perhaps behind a window so it’s still visible. If you are set on creating a web outdoors, Dudeck recommended making one out of rope and ensuring you've left ample space between strands to mitigate the risk to wildlife."

you will meet people with mathematics PhDs who will insist you call them “doctor” in every context and you will meet world famous multi specialty neurosurgeons who insist you call them Greg while they are cutting into your spinal cord. such is life
I believe it is convention in the uk for surgeons to drop the dr title
really? that’s interesting!
all of my surgeons have been USAmericans so far and about half of them didn’t mind being called “Dr.” and the other half were like “just call me Greg” (my neurosurgeon)
Don't you guys also still call school teachers by their last names if I remember correctly? I don't think I've ever met a doctor or anything else who insisted on the prefix but the culture is also different here in regards to that.
“It’s wrong for you to be upset about children harassing you 🥺 they’re just kids!!!! 🥺🥺🥺” do you think that when they become adults that disabled people will disappear from society? do you think that it’s appropriate to teach them that this behavior is okay? you are enabling your child to get their ass beat later in life. when they become adults they won’t magically suddenly learn to treat people like me decently. Im doing you both a MASSIVE FAVOR by visibly getting pissed off at you
yes, it’s probably upsetting to be told by an adult, “sorry, but I’m not a public monument.” when you are just a curious kid seeing something you’ve never seen before, and you want to ask question. but having that interaction is IMPORTANT because it teaches them that not everyone is going to respond to their curiosity with pure kindness and understanding and happiness. I am not the only disabled or “strange-looking” person on earth they will encounter
This vaugepost is a response to op saying they wanted to scare little kids asking dumb questions and me asking why they wouldn't focus on the parents first instead of lashing out in public. This entire part:
"yes, it’s probably upsetting to be told by an adult, “sorry, but I’m not a public monument.” when you are just a curious kid seeing something you’ve never seen before, and you want to ask question. but having that interaction is IMPORTANT because it teaches them that not everyone is going to respond to their curiosity with pure kindness and understanding and happiness.

Is entirely correct, and if I had seen that out context I would have agreed. Literally the only point is that the default reaction of an adult shouldn't be trying to intimidate some likely single digit age child.
