I Don't Like

It's really cool that 80 years after the Holocaust, Israel decided, "We're going to do our own genocide!", Israelis are using the rhetoric of Nazis and all of this has broad public support.

If BDS movement was perpetuated to stop colonialism from Jewish folk in Israel,
And we now see what the Jewish government in Israel is doing,
What was the problem?

Crazy to me that nothing was learned from the Holocaust. Have they not stopped to think about this at all?

Sadly, a lot WAS learned from the holocaust. It's just what was learned and how it's utilized is the issue.

I again just want to point out that:
1. This isn't what the Nazis did.
2. It's not close to the Holocaust, which was a systemic eradication of large number of German citizens by their own government. (But Poles and Czechs you say, they were annexed, those were Germany "now". The whole point of the Nazi plan was that was all supposed to become Germany.)
3. This isn't colonialism.

I love how they make what the Nazis actually did and what colonialism actually was into these far less worse common things. Taking territory after war is not Nazism or colonialism, even if you shouldn't be doing it.

The Nazis famously had belts that said: "GOTT MIT UNS" (God with us). Nazi ideology was basically a bit of Germanic paganism and plagiarized Christianity combined.
The Swastika was used as a stand-in prop for the Christian Holy Cross. They also made sure everyone knew the Fuhrer was chosen by god to lead the German people a bit like Xi is replacing Jesus with himself. In fact the idea of the "Third Reich" calls back not just to the third "German Empire" but also to the idea of a "Third Rome".

- The first Rome being actually Rome, the Roman empire and by extension The Christian Holy Roman Empire (which the Nazis considered to be the First Reich)
- The second Rome being the Roman Byzantine empire focused around Constantinople (however the Nazi's deviate from this and consider the Unified German Reich of Bismack the 2nd Rome instead) 
- The third Rome (which the Nazis consider to be Nazi Germany (Third Reich) with Berlin at its center)

The idea of a third Rome still persists, although now it is claimed by Orthodox Christians who believe Moscow is the third Rome. 
Hence all the religious symbolism in Putins war against Ukraine. 

“History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”.

When Nintex actually makes a good post, I like to make note of it.

The Nazis weren't "religious" as we might think of it, but they had a massive symbolic mythology. Their central idea: Aryanism was a fictional mythological symbol.

It, again, downplays the seriousness of the Nazis, and fascism in general, to treat it as this common thing that every society possesses.

Fuck dynamic pricing. How that shit is legal is beyond me.

But it's a good thing because of the far more likely events where it's driving down prices to boost the audience numbers. You can't look at events that would sell out no matter what the price was.

The word woke has lost all meaning to me with how many times people use it online, like with many other words.

Then again when I hear the word I put in the context of "I woke up" followed by more words to complete a sentence, not online shit.

This was the original context! It was about 1930's Blacks becoming aware or "awake to" the more common underlying racism in society and realizing that's not the way things should be. A giant sign labeled COLORED would not be this, but the cultural instinct for Black men to step out of the way of white people would be. As Blacks moved north, away from Jim Crow, they kept these cultural practices. The idea was that you should reject these and see yourself as equal to whites since you were free of the legal restrictions. (Even though northern racism, see for example Boston, could be nearly as heavy.) The point was to match your "felt" racism to the actual existing systemic racism. You were "asleep" to all the subservience you performed throughout the day, "wake up" and see you didn't have to do those things.

I should note that this is not like Nepenthe would interpret it, that you should become a complete jerk and demand others be subservient to you. You were still supposed to be rational about it. And it was not an individual goal, but getting Black culture to stop passing these things on to future Blacks.

What a complex person. Change your life entirely because of a video game, a great one no doubt but c'mon.

Zoophilia Cenauru was always a cis male til he played Final Fantasy XIV as a female au ra.  Since then he fell for his character and suddenly became trans.

There's a few people chronicled on the Kiwi Farms who similarly picked their favorite video game characters as their transition goals. In line with this ResetERA.com poster, there's one on there that so fell in love with The Last of Us that they spent like five years writing essays on Twitter about it being LITERALLY TRUE TO THEIR LIFE, naming themselves Ellie and making it their life goal to move to Seattle. (Which they later did.)

I hope to Christ if Trump doesn't become president again that some government agencies do something about this mother fucker.

So, they want Kamala Harris to do what Putin would do to his opponents?

Yeah they shouldn't even be doctors at all.

What a stupid fucking take. They shouldn't be doctors because they won't give trans people hormones? Get the fuck out of here with that you balding incel. If people like you were in charge, there would be even LESS doctors.

This isn't just a trans thing, there's a large amount of people who believe doctors should be slaves. They don't see doctors as experts in their field that you go to for advice, but an unnecessary GATEKEEPER to things they want. To pick a similar politicized example because of its simplicity of the ethical considerations, there are people who believe doctors should not be allowed to opt out of performing elective abortions. That if you become a doctor, you must do as any patient desires on this subject regardless of your own views. Trans people believe this about their "essential care" almost universally.

Most people have no clue about medicine, or science, and think it's just literal recipes. They're completely ignorant of how nebulous many things are. Like the fact that little of psychological medicine has real empirical proof. Or the fact that HRT itself doesn't have an underlying theory to how it supposed to work or how it even acts. The idea that a doctor could read the research and disagree and thus practice accordingly not just passes them by, it openly offends them.
