Not a bot, just too lazy to customize

You talk like this is something new that we've never faced before as a people, lol. You understand that words like scapegoat, colonia, diaspora, ghetto, genocide, etc, were literally invented to describe our circumstances, right?

Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? Goyim think they're so special asking the Jews if we're accustomed to people hating us, lmao. Shut the fuck up, dumbass.

Though it, of course, started in the immediate aftermath of the Shoah, I feel we're watching a position I call Judeo-Nihilism really take hold. It's a big shift from the community sentiment when I was young. Yeah, antisemitism was a problem, but the perception (liberal Jews in the US) was that it would get better, that the world might be a bit jumpy about Israel stuff, but we might finally see the end of the worst antisemitism in our lifetime.

How naive it feels now.

This sentiment has been building, quietly, over the last half century though. The sentiment that there's no hope. That they'll never change. That the gentiles will never accept Jews as equals and that it's not worth it to try to change their minds.

The Germans will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz - Zvi Rex

This sentiment, the basis of secondary antisemitism, has never felt truer. Every essay on the use and misuse of Holocaust memory seems to say that Jews misuse it in their defense and everyone should be allowed to use it as they please. Except the Jews.

And what are the essays and books we all find ourselves reaching for to explain our situation? To discuss where we are? Just listing the titles feels like we're giving up:

Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition

People Love Dead Jews

The Holocaust Was the Fulfillment of Western Civilization

We're watching money that had been going into fighting antisemitism get rerouted to other things (usually still from and to Jewish groups).

We're watching our Synagogues close themselves up, hire more security.

We've had decades of pointing to Leftist antisemitism and that it's all growing, and we've had two and a half years of it skyrocketing, of right wing antisemitism taking over the mainstream discourse. We've had Hasan Piker and Nick Fuentes, polls watching the younger generations get more antisemitic to the point where it feels like Millennials might be the low water mark, the spot where antisemitism hit its lowest point before regression to the mean.

We've spent most of the last century out and about, fighting for causes, showing solidarity, working for a better world for everyone. And I wonder if that's ending. I can't blame other Jews for withdrawing, for getting more insular, for wanting to only interact with people who won't call you a kike or a zio if they decide you aren't one of the good ones.

So what do I think is going to change? More security, more 'you must be a member' before you can do things at a synagogue. A partial withdrawal from civil society. For example, though Galindo lost, thankfully, if Platner wins the primary, then I expect Jewish donations to the Dems to start declining. They may already but certain exceptions certainly exist.

And, while on the topic of the world trying to force Jews back into dhimmitude and the sufferance of European gentiles. We're not doing that. We'll end up with more Israelis, and fewer Jewish political donations.

Elizabeth "Nevertheless She Persisted" Warren, who continued endorsing him after the rape apologia became public.

Chuck Schumer and Robert Reich, both literally Jewish men who think Totenkopfs are so cool now.

And everyone who has kept their mouth shut and declined to comment.

Also obligatory reminder that it’s the final week on my Bluminarmour fundraiser. If you want to see me test dumb stuff in proper historical armour please consider pitching in and/or sharing!

You do not get to profit, financially or attention wise or another way, off of a *potentially* queer jew whilst we are banned from pride events.

We do not know if she was questioning her sexuality but ultimately straight or if she was actually queer because she was killed for the crime of existing as a jew before she could come out. Queer rights obviously matter. Anne Franke is not the person you should be using.

You need to protect alive queer jews. You need to love all jews, not just the dead ones.

"But they banned zionists not jews", they banned jewish organizations, who refused to say they disavowed israel. That's like asking a local Chinese diaspora group to disavow the CCP or they can't be at pride.
