The Hebrew Hammer

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

In my experience it means some jackass spammed the tag with conspiracy theories.

It's not 'touch grass', really. It's more "Yes, you can frequently be found at national parks, museums, university, your workplace, and the club. However, all your deepest most meaningful connections originate from the same heavily selected online bubble, and consequently you've become unable to actually understand any of the people you meet in day-to-day life. So please stop posting as if you do."

You will have people that will go "they're silencing criticism of israel" and then when you look inside *their* criticism of Israel and its supporting; jews in Colorado being firebombed (yes, real thing a branch of SJP did recently), jews in the UK being stabbed for existing whilst jewish (yes, real thing a popular antizionist blog did recently), supporting synagogues in Australia being firebombed (yes, yet another real thing that happened on video) and harassing the survivors of the Bondi terrorist attack (yes, real thing reported in the news too), etc etc etc

being raised completely without religion will have you feeling like everyone around you all belong to strange cults that chant and quote phrases at you and even attach references to them to the back of their work vans and hang up signs of them in all their business establishments and it all feels very creepy and scary but you’re supposed to accept that this is all normal and wholesome and not unsettling at all

Notice how no harmful behaviour by the religious people is actually mentioned in this post, it’s just discomfort with something foreign to you. Do you know what the word for that is? Xenophobia. This is an incredibly shitty thing to say and if you phrased it this way for any cultural practice except religion tumblr would rightfully be shitting on you for it.

Notice how you also have no argument you’re just whining about someone daring to suggest that xenophobia (including against Christianity) is bad, I say this as someone who genuinely dislikes Christianity. I have actual reasons for this (mostly that it steals too much from my religion and is overly expansionist, I have the same problem with Islam) but I’m not going around getting pissed off at random people for believing in it. Then again you seem to be a radfem so it’s no surprise you have no morals beyond hating that which is different to you.

For the record I don’t think this is autistic vs allistic, it sounds like that person was just straight up bad at communication. Sometimes autistics(is this the right term? I thought it was autists but I looked it up and apparently that’s offensive now) miss implications but that just seems like a person who doesn’t know how to communicate and gets pissy when misunderstood, I’m allistic if socially awkward and likely wouldn’t have fared any better in that conversation.

Insane that I posted this half a year before the war escalated to where it is currently.

And the right-wingers holding both positions are retarded for it.

Maybe it's different in Europe, but I've never seen a single American conservative say that about Ukraine. The ones that oppose aid just say it's not our problem, that it doesn't matter. They don't give a damn about Putin one way or another, or Zelenskyy or any of it.

Yeah now that I think about it the only person I know of who espouses the second position is Hassan Piker

Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized

Hubris to think you COULD abuse bees

I think that if you see a balrog in an unlocked kitty kennel then you can assume that it wants to be there

It is so fucking bold of you to link the exact same paywalled book thirteen times in your reblog to throw people off the fact that you're using one source from 1859.

I don't think there's ever been a funnier vegan response in the history of this hell site. This is actual gold. If you cited an argument like this in a first year undergrad intro to bio module, then your lecturer would be legally entitled to fire you out of a cannon. I think I'm dying
