look idk how to tell antisemitic leftists this but magneto is not for you.

It's so hard seeing those posts where people are like "but what if things do get better?? The world is looking up!! It's not as bad as you think, there is hope for the world!!" Because you know their vision of "hope" for the world that they're trying to convince you is possible is one where all the Jews are dead.

If you see a tweet Francesca Hong made it's always going to be about how like enjoying a nice breeze is capitalist actually or something and it's so funny. Generational hater of literally everything.

DSA-connected local Democrat: “Jews are an oppressor class that should be exterminated!”

Jews: “That’s as antisemitic as it gets.”

Progressive: “Hey, criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitic, and how dare you paint the DSA with a broad brush!”

A day in the life. Every day, honestly.

Please stop equating Jews with the state of Israel and being pro-establishment, you’re going to start a pogrom.

[sethshead]

Thank you for proving my point.

“Stop criticising our violent antisemitism or it might get violent!”

“I’m talking about Zionists, not Jews!”

“There are only 15 million Jews in the entire world. About half of them live in Israel.”

“Yeah so the other half.”

“90% of the other half are American Jews in New York and California. You know, like the five million Jewish US citizens who are members of/donors to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.”

“The what?”

“AIPAC.”

“Wait, so there are only 15 million Jews in the world, 7 million of them are Israeli and 5 million of them are American and actively support Israel?”

“Yep. And you could probably add at least another million diaspora Jews who live in other countries (France, Canada, the UK, Argentina, Germany, Russia, Brazil) to the “supports Israel” category.”

“So like 13 million of the 15 million Jews in the world are Zionists?”

“At the minimum, yeah.”

“Okay then. I guess when I say ‘I hate Zionists’ I am talking about most Jews. But not all Jews!”

“Just.. the vast majority of them.”

“Yeah. The vast majority of Jews are evil and deserve to die. PS- I know that sounds bad, but you should know I am the good guy. (In my mind.)”

go offff exactly 👏👏👏

like also please talk about CAIR when you talk about AIPAC fammm lmao

campus antisemitism got you down? let me introduce you to the TITLE VI COMPLAINT.

This is not foolproof, but it's how I killed SJP on my campus.

See, the thing everyone on campus fucking forgets is that "Israeli" is a NATIONAL ORIGIN, and that's a protected category under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which like... is wildly in danger in this day and age but that's not the point. The point is that anything that receives federal funds is vulnerable to a Title VI complaint, and you know who receives federal funds?

COLLEGES. UNIVERSITIES. EVEN PRIVATE ONES. Because you know what counts as federal funding?

STUDENT.

LOANS.

That's right: if your institution offers federal student loans, YOU CAN MAKE A TITLE VI COMPLAINT.

And because a Title VI complaint threatens a school's federal funding? They do NOT fuck around with them. They won't always be able to tell you the exact action they take (in fact, they'll hardly ever be able to tell you), but they WILL have to take action if your local band of antisemites is posting anti-Israel crap.

And how do you MAKE one? Why, through this extremely handy portal! But your school should also have a process for making one, and if you have a diversity office or something akin to that, you can also have fun freaking them out by walking in and saying, "Hi, I'm here to make a Title VI complaint." Usually this will cause people to get managers. Federal discrimination complaints are a big deal.

DO NOT get bullied out of making your complaint. DO NOT let someone file it for you. Fill out whatever thing there is yourself, and let them know you've done so. And get a copy if you can.

“In an ideal future, religion doesn’t exist.”

So, an ideal future for you involves cultural genocide?

Interesting.

[unsolicited-opinions]

The moment we decide only victims have moral standing, we incentivize the performance of victimization and seeking of victimhood.

What if, instead of equating oppression with status/authenticity/moral authority, we acknowledged oppression with the intent of working together to erase it?

I already had to tell my parents who Hasan Piker was last year so they weren't caught off-guard. Imagine people's Boomer/Gen X parents who've never heard of him (like 75% of America) and their first introduction is the Republican ad where he says America deserved 9/11. And that's literally the only thing they're going to know about that chud.

That, and he's AES' bestie.

[afurioushawk]

Like, 9/11 is just a big joke to Zoomers (when they aren't saying Osama Bin Laden did nothing wrong, including marrying his 15-year-old first cousin), but every other generation has living memory of 9/11.

And unlike Zoomers, they vote in the general election.

Interesting how the Holocaust is considered "too long ago" to be relevant to the discussion but the (always ahistorically described) "nakba" is considered first-hand suffering.

[stopsignsworstenemy]

hasan is such an interesting person to me bcuz he wants to simultaneously portray himself as an impactful political influencer whenever a candidate he endorses win a primary, and a harmless influencer who no one should treat seriously whenever his fanbases organizes attacks on ppl online or he says abhorrent shit. the irony of it all are his fans who complain about celebrity worship yet blindly follow him and are unable to critique him at all

[kosher-salt]

"Fascism is anyone I don't like, including those I don't like because of my own racism" being a common MO of a lot of people's leftism presently is the sort of thing we'd dismiss as too on the nose if you wrote satire around it a few years ago

[not100bees]

Why on God's good green earth are you reading a romance novel if romantic drama pisses you off? They can never break up or cheat or even look at any other human being. Also nothing bad can never happen to anybody. And it can never be focused on any other couple. The only thing it can be about is the main couple fucking and eating pancakes together and having cats.

[not100bees]

And sometimes they don't even allowed to fuck! They can just smile at each other at the post office.

[amervalk]

It really do be like that, Prince of Egypt, one minute you are asking someone to consider the humanity of Jewish people and they act like it’s your fault they want to kill you and call it progress.

[kosher-salt]

Can you imagine what could get done if people channeled the energy they target Jews with to the parties actually responsible for their issues? Really makes you think.

[gingerswagfreckles]

It really is impossible to talk about mental illness on this website in a way that's like. Realistic and not governed by a bunch of abstract Correct Leftist Rules that refuse to respond to abject reality.

[xclowniex2]

Even if we pause reality for a second and accept that people using a neo nazi term (zio) in a leftist way, is in fact using it in a leftist way, you're making yourself schrodingers antisemite. If a white supremist observes you using zio, they're going to assume you're a white supremist. If a fellow antizionist leftist observes you using zio, they're going to assume you're a leftist.

Why would you want white supremists to think you're a safe person?
