Inner ramblings

Psychosis feels like not being able to trust if you're experiencing something "real"- even if it tangibly is by nonpsychotics.

Psychosis feels like something is "off" constantly- maybe in the air, maybe intrinsically within you -that other people don't notice.

Psychosis feels like everyone else has their shit together but you- and they're refusing to tell you how.

Psychosis feels like the entire way you view yourself is distorted. It feels like being disjointed, out of proportion, discoloured. Like a fever dream you can't understand.

The kinds of human rights abuses that mainstream Marxism engaged in are horrific, and not worthy of glorification.

And for that matter, can we also cool it with deriding India as an evil conservative colonial project oppressing the poor innocent settler-colonists? The rise in Hinduphobia as well as hibernophobia is stark and obvious and part of a global pattern of denigrating indigenous people and tearing down their attempts to secure autonomy in their homeland as evil colonizers colonizing the poor innocent extremist islamists*.

Can we just stop pitting indigenous cultures against each other to begin with? It's not a sport. This isn't a contest. Nobody is going to give you a medal for Most Potential Allies Chased Off With Phobic Rhetoric Against Their Group Specifically. We won't get more respect for Jewish indigeneity by denying the indigeneity of other indigenous groups.

I know people are mad, but we absolutely must make sure we don't fall into the exact same traps antisemites keep falling into when bleating about zionism.

Indigenous rights means indigenous rights for all indigenous people, not just the ones you're not mad at right now.

I just know that if I was a Jew, the vitriol from these left-wingers would make me feel that

no, not even the left-wing has my back against antisemitic harassment and persecution

yes, the left-wing, too, will go after me just because I'm a Jew

there are no safe spaces for Jews outside Israel

Okay, um.

So I’m crying in real life because you’re a goy and this is the first time I’ve heard a goy say that and YOU’RE RIGHT. You are absolutely correct. Israel isn’t where I want to go (if I could live anywhere on earth it’d actually be on a vineyard in western New York, not far from where I grew up, or possibly in my grandparents’ house in Pennsylvania), but it is my escape route. A lot of us feel that way. A LOT of us. I literally feel like you just pulled me inside out of a Phoenix summer and handed me a glass of cold water. Or gave me oxygen to breathe. Someone gets it. Someone gets it.
