Iâm tired of this complex queer goyim have where they think all lgbt people were persecuted by the Nazis as if there arenât very famously queer Nazis and collaborators, and as if queer German Christians couldnât get out of it by signing a fucking affidavit and/or getting lavender married, which was not a grace afforded to Jews or Roma
like man Charlotte von Mahlsdorf did a ton for the east Berlin queer community but she also very much did directly get her first ladiesâ clothes and jewels by raiding (presumably largely cishet) Jewsâ homes after they were deported.
guess who lived, not just past 1945, but to see the new millennium?
like yeah living in an authoritarian police state sucks!!! being forced to live in hiding sucks!! but also these people were not systematically targeted on remotely the same scale as Jews and Roma, and they were given ways to get out of it.
itâs an oppression fantasy white queer goyim have where they have it JUST AS BAD!!!!!!! as the Most Oppressed Groups and I just have to laugh at this point bc itâs that or start mauling
I donât want to play âwho had it worstâ but I think people forget that queer people were also not systematically targeted for murder in Nazi occupied territories, while Jews/Roma were hunted down like dogs to the last one. Like, the WWII Resistance Museum in Amsterdam explicitly states that there is no record of any Dutch queer person deported, arrested, or murdered by the Nazis for their sexuality. Meanwhile 75% of Dutch Jews were murdered in the holocaust - the highest percentage in Western Europe.
Not only that, but people truly donât understand that Nazism is a very, VERY specific brand of fascism, which blames everything on the evil influence of the Jew. The Jews created communism and let the inferior Slavs fall under the spell of âBolshevism.â The Jews created disgusting modern art and new radical academic fields, which is why those all had to go. And yes, the Jews were somehow responsible for spreading the âdegeneracyâ of homosexuality and transgenderism, too. The throbbing heart of Nazism is anti-Judaism. If you ignore this, or lessen it, or âeveryone suffered the sameâ it, you are no longer talking about Nazism.
You will have people that will go "they're silencing criticism of israel" and then when you look inside *their* criticism of Israel and its supporting; jews in Colorado being firebombed (yes, real thing a branch of SJP did recently), jews in the UK being stabbed for existing whilst jewish (yes, real thing a popular antizionist blog did recently), supporting synagogues in Australia being firebombed (yes, yet another real thing that happened on video) and harassing the survivors of the Bondi terrorist attack (yes, real thing reported in the news too), etc etc etc
every time thereâs a viral post about Magnus Hirschfeld that fails to mention he was jewish and nazi hatred of his work (and queerness as a whole) was a cause and effect of nazis blaming jews for any and all âdegeneracyâ i want to Scream Yell Scream. you cannot should not separate what happened to him from that what do you mean âremember! they didnât just hate jews they also-â HE WAS JEWISHHHH !!!! he was openly jewish and thatâs a large part of why he was persecuted so heavily!!!! why are you leaving that out!!! he is not fodder for your âugh those meanie jews are always so greedy and make the holocaust all about them đ â inversion

what a privilege it is to come home to a little animal that loves you like you're their whole world.
When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.
Too good to leave in the tags
educating yourself on dogwhistles of all kinds will have you feeling insane in settings where nobody questions anything they're parroting
-slop is from 4chan and antisemitic for example but everyone uses it (sometimes I even catch myself unwittingly saying it because I hear it so much)
Zog, cabal, aipac money when they situation has 0% to do with aipac, epstein class when the situation has 0% to do with epstein, globalists, etc, there's too manyđđ
"There is no reason for anyone to be struggling in the wealthiest country in the world and we need to fight to make sure that wealth is distributed equitably" - no argument here
"Everyone in America is desperately poor and working multiple jobs just to scrape by because mysterious elites are conspiring to keep us too exhausted and poor to revolt against them" - Neither part of that is true and you're verging dangerously close to conservative conspiracy theories about (((them)))
"Modern America is the WORST country to live in, every other country on earth has it better than us, we are the poorest and most oppressed populace to ever exist up to and including slaves and victims of genocide" - I think the websites you're getting this language from are harming you
Why antisemites always have a blastâand how Jews enhance the experience
Todayâs digital culture has monetized these pleasures. Online platforms are engineered to maximize engagement by maximizing emotional reward. Antisemitism is extraordinarily well suited to such systems. Platforms amplify the thrill of forbidden knowledge, insider language, memes, and collective outrage while making them instantly accessible and endlessly repeatable. The digital dogpileâcoordinated mass attack on a single Jewish targetâis the mob made digital. Like the analogue mobs that preceded them, these too are often gleeful and public. But unlike earlier forms, participation no longer requires gathering in the street or much physical effort at all. The mob no longer needs to gather, it simply needs to log on.
Flooding Jewish journalistsâ social media feeds with Holocaust jokes and âovenâ memes; defacing synagogues, menorahs, or Jewish community centers with swastikasâoften timed to holidays; filming antisemitic taunts of visibly Jewish people and posting them online for laughs; turning classic antisemitic tropes into viral âironicâ content or remix videosânone of these are coherent responses to a supposedly sophisticated international cabal controlling the worldâs economy, politics, media, migration, and satellites. They are rituals of humiliation. The point is not resistance. The point is pleasure.

the planet won't heal until fat butches are a common sight in media
you can be peeling a boiled egg and think to yourself wow. that was so simple. and then you peel another one and itâs like being in the throes of war. shell everywhere. egg mangled. tears in your eyes. thatâs how god keeps you humble
oh to be 15 and santana is singing her love to brittany and rachel describes quinnâs perfect corsage and quinn inspires rachel to write a hit song and brittany makes santana a lebanese shirt and everything is secretive but thatâs fine because the real you is still a secret, too
