Russian oligarchs move billions abroad for fear of asset confiscation

Several of Russia's wealthiest individuals, including people close to Vladimir Putin, have moved billions of dollars abroad over the past

It's okay, Democrats can go beg rich commies in Brooklyn to make up for it /s

[afurioushawk]

Democrats chasing away socially liberal Jews for socially conservative Muslims who would never give money to organizations that fund abortions or support gay marriage was an unforced error.

I didn't even know they had a category for that

[innerchildabortionclinic]

Hollywood really could have that category

ive been trying for a while to find the right words to articulate the way goys, and especially the current-left goys, treat and talk the holocaust, how they see being a victim of this massive tragedy that destroyed over half a people as a mark of specialness, or privilege, how it grants you martyrdom for the cause of social justice- except when it's jews, of course, because then they're using their victimhood to manipulate people and are acting like it's only about them. and the way they fight over this whole idea of 'who suffered the most during the holocaust [except the jews]', as if the question of who is the biggest victim is a question of who takes the trophy for 'group to be most oppressed'. but anyway i just had the thought that goys seem to treat the holocaust as if it's the golden apple thrown by marx with the inscription 'to the most oppressed' going on. that's the best way i can describe it.

This is what happens when you begin to see suffering and oppression not as an injustice to be fought, but as a mark of moral virtue.

One of a number of ways that Marxism and Marx-influenced Leftism is waaaaaay more like traditional Christianity in its thinking than either would care to admit.

Its also what happens when you blame Jews for everything. Which, hey, another way Marxism is like traditional Christianity.

Do I even have to say it?

Seeing the only popular Jewish blogger in a big fandom insist that ppl "listen to Jews" about a problematic fictional ship only for that same person to do the obligatory turn around and go "b-but I'm not one of those dirty Zionists I swearrrr" 🙄🙄🙄 I stg these token anti-zionist Jews piss me the fuck off they are so fucking hypocritical and delusional

Ofc this is one of those delusional idiots who thinks Magneto the Holocaust survivor and former Israeli citizen who worked for the Mossad somehow isn't a Zionist bc he doesn't fit the fictional version of Zionism they made up in their head 🙃 Any Jews who are looking to get into the comic X-Men fandom give up I promise it's not worth it

[frilledshark17]

In line with how this is just a fandom for so many people, they think the only real issue for Jews is "representation" in fiction.

Just want to share this:

I can't find the post now, but I remembered a Tumblr post going around about Canada putting up a memorial of those who fought against communism. And then they have to censor the fascist names that ended up on the memorial, which was like 90% of the names

Lowkey wonder if those gleefully reblogging around are saying that those who opposed communism back then were all Nazis

I have actually been accused of being a Nazi for being anti-communist, so. I mean. (That's in addition to being Ukrainian. I guess I'm like... a double Nazi? But I'm also a Jew. Yet I'm pretty sure I'm not self-hating like some of those Jewish Nazis floating around. Which I feel shouldn't be possible but. Whatever. lmao)

Historically the soundbite has also been reversed: "Yeah but it was only the communists speaking out against fascism." This dichotomy actually is nazi rhetoric, too. Anyone against the regime were communists. There were fascists then there were communists. Why? Oh because of judeo-bolshevism. It was THE way that the Nazis got people to fight on the eastern front. (It also leads to the headache of 'a lot of Jews were commies!' when in fact in that atmosphere you either joined the socialists or communists (2 different parties) or you got hung out to dry.)

The dichotomy doesn't work anymore. But one of the big books on communism was written by ex-commies. Communism burned its citizens hard and quick. And burned them out in gulag. But the indoctrination was also so insidious that it didn't stop people from supporting the Party. They just tried to do better. They excused the people who convicted them. Citizen interaction with the party was like with an abusive spouse or significant other. It wasn't the Party that was wrong, ever. It was the comrade.

The abusive-relationship comparison is illuminating. Your life is largely controlled by a power above you that constantly holds you responsible for any failure. Escape is dangerous. You try not to stick out, to carve out some private space where you can carry on.
