ANTISEMITISM IS BAD

Wife just got called a "zio" at the grocery store by some pink-haired little shitass while wearing a magen necklace and earrings.

No it's okaaaaaay, the shitass just hated her on sight and called her a slur popularized by the KKK because they assumed she was a Zionist!

I like acapella. I also like to think I'm a rational, level-headed person. Normal.

Morocco Fans: All Jews are GAY

i dont think the queer community fully understands how isolating it is to be a queer slav and seeing the fucking hammer and sickle fucking everywhere

As a non-communist leftist who has a lot of communist friends, i did in fact not know there were such strong feelings towards that symbol! I aways thought it was the only communism symbol, and it's good to know that it has such negative connotations towards the Slavic community so I don't use it.

i was recently made aware of this flag that is used by the free territories in ukraine and it honestly looks so badass, would definitely recommend this one!

as a 'left' person with an obsession with flags and symbols (including the UFT flag) theres certainly a lot of leftist symbols which either have much less charged history than the hammer and sickle or were used by leftist groups directly opposed to the ussr.

hope it's okay to add on, but op's post made me think of something i read, articulating discomfort with the hammer and sickle from a jewish anarchist perspective

im glad our voices of discomfort regarding the hammer & sickle fascist flag are finally being taken seriously, so here are more people from the notes talking about this:

I also want to point out that soviet flags and symbols are still used today by russia, including very much on occupied ukrainian territories, as a mean to prop up their regime and assert their ideology.

imagine if after 9/11 americans got into the habit of ritually blowing up an effigy of osama bin laden and did it for so long that eventually the effigies just became known as osamas and then osama became a way to say "man you look like you just got blown up, you look rough" and then it just became a way to generically refer to any person and now in the year 2607 it's standard to refer to any group of people as osamas and also, due to 9/11, every eleventh of september americans got together to set off fireworks and eat hot dogs in cold damp fields

Yeah except 9/11 was actually successful. A better example would be if after January 6th, 2021, Americans started blowing up effigies of Donald Trump for so long that eventually the effigies became known as trumps and then "trump" became a way to say "man you look like you just got blown up, you look rough" and then it just became a way to generically refer to any person and then centuries later it was standard to refer to a group of people as trumps and also, due to January 6th, every 6th of January Americans get together to set off fireworks and eat hot dogs in cold, damp fields.

I hope Maine understands if they vote for that Nazi, they're going to be subjected to intense national scrutiny usually only reserved for states like Florida.

The Democratic electorate in Florida never would've elected him in the primary.
