A Lot Of Leftists Say That “The Left” Is Actually Center, Which I’ve Always Hated, But They Aren’t

That’s oddly… specific

Trump will be like “all Palestinians are terrible people and I’m working hard to make sure there’s no ceasefire!!” and Kamala will say “My goal is to help both Israelis and Palestinians, we will support our ally and encourage a ceasefire” and (some) people will still say “Both are terrible! Don’t vote for genocide supporter Kamala!!”

Yes, I’d be curious to hear other Ashkenazi views on this. I’ve heard a few Mizrahim say the opposite, they do *not* want to be called Arab, only Mizrahi, because it was the Arabs who pushed them out of their countries. Older Ashkenazim seem to be the same, but in a more “they aren’t allowing me to be part of them” generational trauma way instead of an “I’m too angry at them” generational trauma way (from what I can tell).

I was talking to my Holocaust studies teacher about this. When asked his ethnicity, her father will always say Jewish, never Polish, and will even say “No, I’m Jewish” if someone “corrects” him and brings up Poland. She (my teacher) said it’s really generational trauma. European citizens were suddenly told they weren’t European at all, only Jewish, and for some that stuck.

Still, I’m curious about what others think. I might be different because of my circumstances; my Jewish side comes from Russia, but that side has been in America for a long time (I think maybe my great-great-grandparents were born there, but it might even be farther back). My Polish (gentile) family members were in concentration camps and some were killed. So I guess I don’t have a strong “Jewish specific” connection to Europe, just in general. But, again, I know antisemitism exists everywhere, and I still plan on spending the majority of my life in Israel (once i perfect my Hebrew).

I can only respond as an Ashkenazi, I don’t know how everyone else feels, but I disagree. I am a Zionist. I feel a strong cultural and religious connection to the homeland. I even plan on permanently living in Israel when I’m older. But I’m also European. My great-grandparents were born in Poland and Italy, and I feel a connection to those places. Additionally, I feel a strong connection to both Hebrew and Yiddish, and even as a Zionist I don’t think Yiddish should be “phased out.” It’s a language of our European history and I like that.

Transmed Thoughts #1

You shouldn’t be proud to be trans. It’s a problem that needs to be solved. It ruins lives. It hurts people. I would do literally ANYTHING to not be trans. Just be born a real male. But I can’t.

The Terrorist Propaganda to Reddit Pipeline

how an ultra-leftist network hijacked some of the biggest non-political subreddits to censor its ideological enemies

Article about this. If anyone “controls the media,” it’s them.

Also this. There are more for both but the creator of this only used subs with more than 5000 members, if I remember correctly.

Seriously, read the article though. It goes into how these people are fully attempting to skew public opinion.

Number of Jews in the world: around 15 million

Number of members of a subreddit which auto bans anyone who has posted in a Jewish sub: around 20 million

HOLY SHIT THE FOURTH EPISODE IS SO GOOD!!! This is when it really became something for me. The acting improved, story improved, world building improved. And so many exciting scenes from the books to look forward to that weren’t in the movies.
