And let me highlight the DISCIPLINE at play here and across the country, too.

They are trying to goad protestors into lighting a Reichstag fire and those efforts are being met with suggestive hip thrusts from a giant inflatable frog.

This is movement not taking the bait.

Honestly, a thing that helped me make some progress was when some part of my brain went "would a _real_ leftist derive so much of their self-worth from the value they produce for their employer?", and the rest went "Huh, I guess not...."

Popular meme format of a stock photo showing a man walking a woman partner but looking over his shoulder at a different woman walking the other way

Here his neglected woman partner is labeled "the food in my fridge that will go bad soon" and the new distracting woman is labeled "ordering delivery"

Every time Judaism becomes a national topic -- which seems to be every day -- it's like a free-for-all of gentiles confidently being publicly wrong about us.

I assume her point here os not that nunkofniks are *not Jewish*, but that they are *not representative of Jews*, not even "ultra-Orthodox" Jews (and that they have a lot of beliefs and practices you wouldn't expect progressives to endorse, though that's also true of Hamas)

In fact, Ultra-Orthodox Jews (among many other sects) angrily reject Zionism precisely because it's against - not merely unnecessary to - Judaism. Here, so you learn something about Judaism:

why would I outsource eating a really good hamburger to someone else? that’s my fucking hamburger

essentially the only thing that I like about this web site is that it is named after a creature that we hunted to extinction back at a time when hunting things to extinction was presumably a pretty hard thing to do. it lends a mournful and apologetic air to the whole undertaking. like, sorry we killed you and everyone you ever knew. it was all in the name of elevating a species that can't even decide whether our own lives are worth living. anyway, here's posts

My point is that the idea that people who gave a bad answer to a survey about the actions of a state that they are not citizens of are not, by any definition, "complicit".
That's like blaming Russian Americans for the war in Ukraine, or Japanese Americans for Pearl Harbor.
i.e., bugfuck insane.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.
