I'm a brown queer anti-American anti-capitalist anti-imperialist far-left borderline anarchist, even if I did decide to compromise my principles and run for a public office, my campaign would be over on minute one lmao.

My immediate thought was I bet Cawmedy Destroyer has an anecdote and sure enough

When I was younger, I wanted to. But I am way too loud and way too atheist for people to vote for.

So is Mamdani and Hasan proof that Democrats need to stop trying to be a big tent party appealing to as much of the population as possible and throw out anyone who would be to AOC's right on any issue and allow no white supremacist questioning of trans women in women's sports or is every place in America including major cities totally hostile to everything about Era to where they have no chance at even winning Democratic primaries?

The “dual loyalty” has been anti semitic since even modern Israel foundation.

Goes back much further than that, though pre-state-of-Israel it was more disloyalty. Dreyfus affair, various medieval pogroms, etc.

Disloyalty was the favorite excuse to exile Jews and steal their assets.

a few years old now:

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/05/11/u-s-jews-connections-with-and-attitudes-toward-israel/

Just under half of U.S. Jewish adults (45%) have been to Israel, including 19% who have visited once and 26% who have visited multiple times or have lived in Israel.

Nearly six-in-ten U.S. Jews say they are either very emotionally attached (25%) or somewhat emotionally attached (32%) to the modern state of Israel. The share of adults who are at least somewhat attached to Israel is twice as high among Jews by religion (67%) as among Jews of no religion (33%).

Overall, 45% of U.S. Jews say that caring about Israel is “essential” to what being Jewish means to them, and an additional 37% say that caring about Israel is an important (though not essential) part of their Jewish identity.

As of 2020, about one-in-five U.S. Jews (22%) say the U.S. is too supportive of Israel, up from 11% who said this in 2013. Over the same period, the share who say the U.S. is not sufficiently supportive of Israel declined by 12 percentage points (to 19%), while the share who say the level of U.S. support for Israel is “about right” has held steady (54% in each survey).

can data be antisemitic?

I suppose yes, like those people who go around everywhere quoting black crime statistics

and none of these explicitly say they support israel more than the US, "loyalty" is a weird thing to demand, most people would say some form of "disloyalty" to the US among US citizens is in vogue now anyway

but we all know the fix for making claims about jewish people among era types, you don't simply say "US jews are more loyal to israel," instead you say "if you're jewish and my statement doesn't apply to you, then I wasn't talking about you, was I? a hit dog hollers"

Me playing Crusader Kings: I know it's morally wrong but pressing the "expel Jews" button gets me 200+ ducats. I could add a building to my castle.

The expel Jews button is also what they call the like button under a filler post

[benji]

We have to remember that most Era, Hasan or filler types believe that unless the US is explicitly hostile to Israel at all times and even if the US is following its own pattern of foreign policy dating back decades then US policy ever aligning with any Israeli interest on anything is proof that Israel completely controls US politics and even non-Jews are being more loyal to Israel than the US.

You can't debunk their claims because they're starting from an evidence-free single premise: there's two types of people in the world, the collective nation of Jewish people and their victims.

[Chumbawumbafan69]

Intersectionality is a tough cookie to crack.

...are the first two statements antisemitic? I feel like the first one could even be verified or debunked via a similar sort of study? and era types have always had trouble choosing appropriate targets for protest/boycott

Boycotting a Jewish business (with no other qualifiers about their connection to Israel) for what's going on in Israel/Gaza feels clearly antisemitic.

[benji]

Also, and more importantly, that poll doesn't show a sharp gradient on age or race.

[benji]

Also, more shots and retweets of those shots fired at mom:


Apparently all it takes for progressives to defend state funding to anti-LGBTQIA2S+ religious charities is for Trump to be against it.

[Uncle]

maybe I'm just too hung up on bigotry being "those people are stinky and smelly and inferior to our superior race"

[benji]

Bigotry is rarely evidence based. Nobody starts from a blank slate or open-mindedness and reads a whole bunch of information about a subject and then realizes it's rational to hate Jews or Blacks or gays or whatever. It's almost all confirmation bias and fear-based, hence why the concerns are almost always status-related and/or conspiracy theories.

Same for most anti-bigots, it's just an inverse process. Just look at how Era acts on these topics, screaming how you just shouldn't and threatening violence, there's no attempt to say you should only judge individuals not groups or rationally explain why any of those groups should be treated equally to any other. (Mostly because they don't actually want that, they just want an inverted hierarchy.)

He does have something to do...posting poorly written reviews on Backloggd and some retard RPG fansite.

[Boredfrom]

Doops is such a piece of shit and ERA is not much better pretending to care about the Palestine struggle before influencers chimed in.

Dissapointing, just now learning his father was jewish, he studied at the hebrew university of jerusalem and he's said before he's not jewish but he feels israeli. So in retrospect, I guess these views are not surprising.

They banned a user almost immediately but this gets a pass (or a 3 week ban at best).

Said something after a terrorist attack on Israel.  

These assholes keep doing this shit of bitching about something said after and during October 11 and justify it because “Nakba”  

How can he deny a genocide that hadn't happened yet.

I don't know about you, but if anyone else other than Kotaku wrote that article, they'd be told to touch grass. Heck they'd probably should still be told to touch grass.

The posters crying the loudest about this game are definitely into little kids. 100%

I had to check out the article. Their examples are people with either a whooping 5 or 18 hearts. Sounds like going out of their way to find creeps to me.

[Boredfrom]

Is Pepe the frog a hate symbol?

I mean… yes? Some have tried to reclaim it (I'd argue unsuccessfully) but it was undeniably used as such for quite a few years. Unfortunately a lot of emotes common in Twitch chat culture have problematic origins, even if many aren't aware.
