I Used To Have Nightmares About Michael Jackson

I want to move to Maryland mostly just because I think their flag is cool

In 2022, people were cancelling Stranger Things for the tattooed numbers being reminiscent of the Holocaust and them filming in Lukiškės Prison. Now, those same people are “cancelling” it for having multiple Jews “Zionists” who are a part of it. No opinions on the first part, but it’s just interesting to see.

it's cool how even normal people on the left have gone from like performatively complaining about how antisemitic harry potter was to just unilaterally deciding that jewish pain and antisemitism don't matter because someone might mistake them for a zionist if they defend us

This was 100% a dogwhistle. I don’t believe they bought the sword in a “Nazi way” but it’s definitely a joke to them to show something Ethan will “crash out” over and then they get to call him paranoid again. Definition of a dogwhistle.

Almost every friendship I’ve had with a male has had undertones of homoeroticism (and gay allegations)

Here I am again complaining about people who view ethnic, religious, and other minorities joining the police force as a betrayal and single them out for harassment.

We can clearly see that female officers, black officers, Latino officers, and Asian officers in the NYPD have significantly fewer complaints filed against them then their white male counterparts.

The NYPD is a flawed institution, but we have clear evidence that increasing diversity helps helps fix those flaws!

Even if your long term goal is to not have a police force at all, you should be able to prioritize immediate actual improvement in the system over theoretical revolutionary change.

I’ve figured it out. Jews are fans of the Mets, Italians are fans of the Yankees. Jews are fans of the Giants, Italians are fans of the Jets. I know this from the two sides of my family.

If you don’t know how to spell nurodivergent, then I’m assuming you’re nuerodivergent (neurodivergent?)

I take this back, I like her now

Kinda wish I were an only child ngl

A lot of leftists say that “The Left” is actually center, which I’ve always hated, but they aren’t entirely wrong. I have some opinions that most would consider right-leaning (pro-Israel, pro 2A, pro police), and leftists certainly don’t agree with most of them, but Democratic politicians do. It’s going to be pretty difficult to be a politician, whether Democrat or Republican, if you disagree with those three things. The thing is, “The Left” may be becoming slightly more center, but only because “The Right” has quickly turned into the far-right. Republicans are suddenly throwing up Nazi salutes, calling for the annexation of other countries, starting dehumanization efforts for immigrants and disabled people, etc. etc. and they have support. Which puts Democrats in a pretty hard position. They desperately need to lessen the support for the new far-right.

Which brings up another interesting question, how (most) leftists are able to connect Trump deporting people to El Salvador to concentration camps (I agree that a comparison should be made, even if they are, of course, not the exact same), but unable to connect “pro-Palestinian” protestors physically harming Jews or blocking them from entering places to pre-Holocaust Nazi Germany (where I also believe a comparison should be made). But that’s a post for another time…
