Not tablet going so far around the bend that they’re applying antisemitic tropes on to Muslims!

If you stop thinking that Germany's response to anything Israel is about Holocaust guilt and instead about rewriting German history, you'd understand German politics better. 🧵

Whenever people talk about non-violent resistance to a fascist government I think about how Ghandi's advice to German Jews was and I quote "The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs"

nothing Lynch says here is wrong. He is accurately describing how our system works. this is why we should y'know. replace it.
Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.

i've been grinding my way through situationist writings, and writings about situationist ideas for months, and this is by far the best exposition of the situationist idea of the spectacle and its application to the current moment i've encountered so far.

i saw a video that ranked cologne commercials on how much they made a streamer insecure in his masculinity. the only insecurity i ever feel in masculinity is kinas sofrim (jealousy of scribes), the named concept and the literal meaning, this culture's masculinity is irrelevant to my self-perception.

imo, the fact that the single most important issue for the charedi political organization is resistance to the drafting of charedim means that this is an entrance to build solidarity with the charedi sector, and an issue that leftists should support charedim in.
the arguments in favor of drafting the haredim boil down to 1. "israels constant wars of expansion against all of its vulnerable neighbors are impeded by a lack of manpower" and 2. "we need to forcibly integrate these people into israeli society." i do not find either of these arguments convincing
