my thing with calling strangers eggs is like. if it's a dude saying "of course i'd rather be a girl, everyone wants to be a girl" okay yeah that's an egg. but if it's a dude wearing skirts and mascara and having hobbies like cross stitching and you're calling him an egg? you've wrapped back around to sexism. you've done a full pivot into "pink is for girls and blue is for boys" and you're actually the problem. cut it out. stop telling (gnc) people they're secretly trans because "a real woman would never like football!" come on.
I don't support genocide.
That's why when people say openly, explicitly, and repeatedly that they want to kill all the Jews, I don't support them.
It's really that easy.
Jewish queer people deserve to be safe in queer spaces.
"There are no [insert hated nationality or ethnicity here] cilvilians/noncombatants" is standard genocidal rhetoric, by the way. If you are saying this, you are giving a standard justification for genocide. It's right up there with the related tactic of insisting that all members of [insert hated nationality or ethnicity here] are guilty of some collective crime. I want to be clear here. These are both always very wrong, very bad, and very dangerous. It does not matter if you think you are right this time, and the people you are fighting are really evil and deserve it. Everyone who has ever said these things has believed that too.
went to wikipedia to fact check somethings about a guy from ww2 era history and it had been edited beyond belief to erase this person's connections with nazi germany. the second google result is the holocaust encyclopedia page all about his horrible crimes in the nazi regime. but on wikipeida, his description is vague and mild and barely mentions it. it's so worrying. I hate it. what happens when gen z only reads wikipedia pages and denounces any sources that are "too zionist" like a holocaust museum's encyclopedia? thank g-d for jewish historians, what would we do without them, but i'm so so scared that our history is going to be rewritten because no one will listen to us on our own history.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.
The 1st orders a beer.
The 2nd orders a half of a beer.
The 3rd orders a quarter of a beer.
The 4th begins to order, but the bartender cuts him off, saying "You guys need to know your limits." He puts 2 beers on the bar.
I feel sick to the stomach reading about the pogrom in Amsterdam and I am filled with unspeakable anger about all the leftist "activists" who, over the course of the last year, have contributed to creating an environment where Jewish people feel unsafe with their brain-dead and hateful chants to "globalise the intifada" and "from the river to the sea".
Ohhh you're all so upset about Republicans being nazis. "Punch a nazi!" Yeah, right. But what did you do about the nazis in your own camp? The ones cheering on terrorist organisations, celebrating rape as a form of resistance ("Me too" unless you're a Jew?) calling for violence against the Jewish community and the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world?
You know, it would have been entirely possible to support the cause of the Palestinian people and raise awareness for the suffering of the Palestinian civilians without going full-on antisemitism and siding with Islamist groups who don't give a shit about their own civilians. But that would have required nuance, it would have required educating yourself on the issue and reflecting you own internalised antisemitism.
I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community around the world.
Never Again is Now.
May their memories be a blessing
