It's almost as if you can't immediately implement pure socialism because of material conditions, shocking! 😮😮😮😮

Not to mention Cole admits she still suffers from gender dysphoria. Choosing not to treat your own headaches doesn't mean you get to ban Tylenol.

“The existence of even one ex gay dismantles the central lie of homosexuality, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.”

Same shit different era.

Chloe Cole: The existence of even one detransitioner dismantles the central lie of transgenderism, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

Ok I'm going with this is a troll account for the sake of my sanity

This is either a very good troll or the most annoying and bloodthirsty liberal ever

if anything, the largest group of supporters of Israel is the white anglo-saxon protestant demographic - they are the most numerous supporters of zionism by sheer numbers alone

Demy @demytra.bsky.social · 5d

There already exists a plurality of jews by the statistics you posted that oppose Israel's existence and its actions. Norm Finklestein is a loud Jewish voice against the existence of the zionist-fascist ethnostate, hasidic jewish communities oppose Israel's existence from their own religious view

Demy @demytra.bsky.social · 5d

Again I'm not disagreeing that a lot of these religious institutions help funnel Jewish youth into this kind of zionist-fascist radicalization. What I take issue with is you stating that Jews as a group are entirely a monolith and that it's in our "culture" to support genocide

I'm not talking about religion though I'm talking about Jewish as an ethnic group - there are plenty of non-religious/areligious Jews such as myself.

Any help would be appreciated, I don't know how I will be able to afford paying rent due to student loan repayments and other costs while I'm on medical leave. Thank you.

I am currently on medical leave from work, and as such I will be without any income. This puts my finances in a precarious situation and in turn adds stress towards a period where I need to be recovering. Any amount helps.

If you want, do you think we can have this conversation outside of bluesky? I don't think being limited to 300 characters is productive to trying to discuss these things, i think it would help a lot of we didn't have word/character limits

Demy @demytra.bsky.social · 5d

Again, I agree, I think it's insane the position zionists have been given. What I'm asking is what definition of culture you are working under (i.e. what makes up a culture)? Is it art? Language? Customs/morals? All of the above?

2 1

Demy @demytra.bsky.social · 5d

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you and I don't want to misrepresent what you're saying - what definition of culture are you using?

1 1

Demy @demytra.bsky.social · 5d

I wouldn't ascribe it as Jewish culture, it's moreso the disaster of Zionism with over 80+ years of continuous propaganda and indoctrination. It's a black stain on Jewish history, for sure, but I remain proud of revolutionary history that many Jews were involved in (i.e. early 20th century Russia)

Demy @demytra.bsky.social · 5d

It's crazy how much Zionism is pushed to Jewish youth too, like birthright is advertised as a fun vacation when in reality it's basically pr to get kids to move to and support the zionist entity

Demy @demytra.bsky.social · 5d

Again I don't disagree, Zionism has infested a lot of Jewish communities and it's reprehensible. It makes me feel insane sometimes that many Jews, even my family, accept the equation that Zionism *has* to be representative of Jews, when it really should not be

I don't disagree with those statistics, I'm not trying to be hostile or anything. Just trying to understand what you meant
