Imagine Having Been Born In 1905... And All Your Life It Doesn't Fucking Stop. The Great War, The Spanish

Imagine having been born in 1905... And all your life it doesn't fucking stop. The Great War, the Spanish Flu, and then you go out of your mind for 7 years. Everyone is traumatised and nothing matters. Then another crash. And then the rise of fascism, and the War to end all Wars didn't and it's 1945 and you're just about still there. You may have fought or ferried the boys from Dunkirk or sabotaged the Nazi occupiers or worked in the factories and put out fires during the Blitz and you're lucky to be alive, because not all your friends made it. But you are and finally, fucking finally, it stops. It stops. You are tough as nails and you can put that strength to work into building something and you do, and people have cars and can buy icecream and you have a pension fund and the kids have money of their own and no nightmares.

I want that for us. I so want that for us. I want to be the generation that has seen fucking everything and is like a MRSA bug and unfazed and when that Cheeto finally dies, I want us to. Plant the gardens and clean the seas because we can and we want to and we remember some joy, some time of trust even when it got broken and we can say to the 20 somethings "let us show you what we can build, how it can feel."

And maybe Gen beta will take it all for granted like the boomers did, but we can give Gen Z and Alpha some peace because we, and Gen Z and Alpha have seen the Dark Times and fuck that noise.

Could y'all fucking IMAGINE if Leftists treated other groups the way they treat Jews?

If, because of what's happening in Syria with the Druze, they started harassing every Muslim they came across and chanting- "Muslims are shit" -and saying that they should all be killed for the actions of a government they have zero control over.

If, because of what's going on in the Congo, they started using KKK uniforms, symbols, chants, and slogans and then, when black people said- "hey, the KKK actually wants to kill all black people and is incredibly racist, you using these things is making us uncomfortable and it's normalizing racism, could you please stop?" -Leftists replied by calling them slurs, saying that they're wrong and that the KKK was just a "resistance group," and that black people are just using racism to excuse genocide.

If, because of China putting Uyghurs in internment camps, Leftists starting spreading conspiracy theories about how Chinese people actually started COVID-19 to kill everyone and spread it on purpose, said they eat dogs and cats, said they control the media/hollywood/politicians/etc. and then---when some actor says something racist about Chinese people and gets kicked off a show/film, or gets kicked off for something COMPLETELY UNRELATED to their racist views but they're known for expressing said racist views---they start talking about how those "dirty Chinese" are controlling the media and "silencing" people.

If Leftists took the word "transition" and changed the definition to mean "I support pedophilia" and then started saying- "90% of trans people want to transition! They want transitioning to be more easily accessed! See, what did I tell you? They're all a bunch of pedos! Kill them all!" -and when trans people tried to explain that that's actually NOT what transitioning means and give you the ACTUAL definition, Leftists proceeded to tell them that THEY actually know more about transness than actual trans people and that trans people are lying about the definition and that anyone that uses the word "transition" is clearly a pedophile who should be murdered.

Like...it's literally fucking insane.

None of this shit would ever fly if it happened to another community, but because it's happening to Jews it's condoned and even DEFENDED.
