So Muslims can have and restrict access to the Temple Mount from Jews, our literal holiest religious site that they built the Dome of the Rock and a mosque on top of, but Israelis can’t claim Jerusalem as their capital because Jerusalem is “for everyone” and therefore no country should own it. Despite the fact even though it’s under Israeli control already anyone can freely visit and it effectively already is “for everyone”. Yeah ok no I get it. Basically anything a Jew does equals bad anddd that’s just how it is. Nice to know!

we’re banning use of the phrase judeo-christian. there truly is no such thing. what people mean is christian interpretation of the old testament and all the ideas and ‘values’ they pushed onto the world for 2 millennia and they’re too lazy to distinguish that from the fundamentally different ethno-religious group christians took the book from in the first place

i'm reading Anti Judaism: The Western Tradition and my biggest takeaway thus far is that we jews are stuck in a time loop. i have no other explanation

UNPOPULAR OPINION: A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

And the mental health issues that don't disappear under those improved conditions are much easier to manage. A poor quality of life is effectively a comorbidity.

I'd leave. This is a sign that my opponent has the most fucked up unethical spells imaginable, and I am not about to be subject to Malchezar's Piercing Prostate Bomb or something

repeat after me. humans are not inherently evil humans are not like a virus on this earth humans do not “deserve” to go extinct or anything like that. we are living breathing animals that deserve space just like every other creature on this planet. there’s just a tiny amount of us that have a fuck ton of money and power and they really suck

i rly like how many electronic devices you can turn off by holding the power button down. its very intuitive to kill a thing by choking it

I really hate the "Jerusalem is very important to three religions why would Judaism get full control of it" because its only important because thats where the JEWISH TEMPLE was and where the JUDEAN KINGS lived. just because people made religions out of fanficing Judaism means we have to give them equal slices of our own cultural history?

Early Judaism remixed elements of Babylonian and Cannanite religious beliefs and culture. King David conquered Jerusalem and colonized it from the Cannanites. We shouldnt have to respect Judaism when its just fanfiction of preexisting levantine iron age mythology.

show me the movement of canaanites trying to take back jerusalem and restore its original caananite culture and practices

thank you for saying these points better than i could

Also, and this is extremely important, Jews don't have total control of Jerusalem. In fact the Temple Mount, the single most sacred location in all of Judaism and a place which is exclusively important in any other religion because of how important it is to Judaism, is literally forbidden to Jews entirely. Seriously, Jews are religiously discriminated against in favor of Muslims by Israel. In Jerusalem specifically.

There is a Certain Type of Leftist on here who is convinced that they can and should categorise all countries as either Real or Fake (a cornerstone of imperialist thinking btw), and while they might provide some support for their decision regarding specific countries, maybe even reference some noble ideals when explaining their reasoning, when you look at their overall views it becomes pretty clear that their main criterion is "how do my favorite empires feel about this country's independence?"

Guys if you want queer shit written by queers on our own terms you're going to have to start seeking out weird independent media. I'm sorry that's the only place you can regularly find it idk what to tell you, we can't keep acting like there's nothing if we're not getting blockbusters and triple A titles or whatever it is we're waiting around for. The thing you keep saying you want is already being offered for free by one person making a passion project on the internet and you would both benefit enormously if you interacted with it instead of lamenting that the only options we have for representation are pandering afterthoughts from corporate shit
