Real

The No Fly List isn’t a laughing matter and you all need to but down your “it/she lesbian catgirl hacked the government” memes for 5 fucking seconds and see that this is a massive exposition of the US government’s deeply entrenched racism and xenophobia that rips away people’s basic human rights and presumption of innocence. Everyone KNOWS that the US has severe issues involving the treatment of Southwest Asians and muslims, issues severe enough to pillage civilians for oil and destroy entire cultural monuments and history that cannot be ignored, and yet you all choose to look the other way anyways. If you all really gave half a fuck about tearing down imperialism and colonization as you say you do, you would do the bare minimum and acknowledge that 10% of the names on there are “Muhammed”. That there are CHILDREN on this list, because their name betrayed them and is used against them to accuse them of suspected terrorism. You would point how someone just exposed the US for violating basic rights everyone should have on a massive scale, how this airline wasn’t even supposed to have this list, and you would talk about it instead of saying “holy fucking bingle!”.

We need to learn when to put down our memes and face the reality that we can no longer avoid. We cannot stand idly by while we watch one of the world’s massive, most powerful governments mark people as terrorist with almost no procedure as to who can be put on there because of someone’s race and religion. We can’t keep avoiding the legacy that 9/11′s justification of going to war has created. We can’t keep avoiding the way that elected officials, especially Trump, have openly and proudly confessed to supporting things like this. We also need to acknowledge how lucky we are that this didn’t get into the wrong person’s hands, because it very easily could have. This isn’t funny, this is vile, and by laughing and not actually caring, we’re only serving to help this continue.

Does Judaism have nuns or monks? I know it's taboo to not be married in Judaism but is there space for people who don't for whatever reason: mental illness, etc?

I wouldn't phrase it that it's taboo not to be married in Judaism, but rather that asceticism, sexual abstinence, and the general concept of withdrawing from the world are not Jewish values and building a family is. The entire underlying concept of institutions like nuns and monks is that it's holy to remove oneself from the world at large, holy never to have sexual relations, holy to deprive oneself of worldly pleasures. And that's not Judaism. We were put in this world to elevate physicality to a spiritual level, and you can't do that without interacting with physicality. Having a sumptuous meal is holy when it's for the purposes of a mitzvah (indeed, in a number of cases one MUST have a meal in order to do a mitzvah and it SHOULD be particularly delicious food). Having sex within the appropriate context is incredibly holy. And much of what exists in the physical world is inherently neutral, but can be elevated to holiness when used for a mitzvah.

An unmarried Jew (whether by choice or because they haven't found a partner despite wanting one) doesn't need to sequester themselves from the world and live simply to live a holy life; they'd actually be depriving themselves of many opportunities for holiness by doing so. Being married and building a family are significant values in Judaism, and it can sometimes be hard for unmarried adults because communities tend to be so family-focused, but that's still just one of many parts of living a Jewish life. In the world - not out of it.

This is so funny now im seeing people talking abt "imperfect allies" and how we can't afford recriminations and "i told you so"s and how we need to really come together and build community now.

It's too little too late. Oh NOW we want to talk abt imperfect allies, when earlier you called me a zionist cunt who deserves to die for DARING to suggest that kamala would be a better president for marginalized people in this country? NOW we need to look past differences and embrace our shared humanity?

No. You just need my labor again, you just need black and jewish and women and trans labor to do all the hard work of building a backbone of aid and solidarity again, because you're feeling the loneliness and vulnerability of a fractured, losing movement.
