Imagine comparing marginalized people, like trans women, to rapists. You are truly a digsusting person.

CW: Stop individualizing rape and sexual assault. It is a violation of a social species as a whole. It violates all decency, and shows that a perp is a threat to any and all around them. Thus, social reaction and social justice are perfectly warranted. Signed a survivor.

No, society owes these people nothing. The only one letting feelings overwhelm their judgment is you: the person doing apologetics for a sexual abuser. This rape survivor has no qualm locking rapists and SAers away for the rest of their natural lives (and that would be the best they can hope for).

Chameleon, from the Greek χαμαί ‘on the earth’ and λέων ‘lion’, was calqued from Akkadian nēš(u ša) qaqqari lit. ‘lion of the ground’, a figure attested in the Epic of Gilgamesh (line 314 ᴜʀ.ᴍᴀʜ šá qaq‐qa‐ri). The term is paralleled in lexical tablets from Ebla (ca. 2300 BCE) as na‐iš qar‐qá‐rí‐m.

You know, brazenly admitting in the preface to your book that you decided to write a book because your papers were rejected by peer reviewers and you didn't want that scrutiny anymore sure is an indictment of your work. It is amazing what passes for scholarship in biblical studies sometimes.

Any candidate who throws trans people under the bus to win is a person who should lose. They are capitulators who will give up and continue democratic spinelessness. They therefore offer no real alternative to fascism. They are a bill of goods for a rotten product. Electoralism will not save you.

Susan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week. Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.

This is and always is the wrong question. It is a way of directing blame on the working class for not electing women, when the data consistently and overwhelmingly supports the fact that the reason Harris lost (and Clinton) is because they did nothing to rally the working class.

I gotta disagree vehemently with Rabbi Dr. Shaul Magid's latest here. Blood libel is a very specific accusation, namely, that Jews kill (Christian) babies for ritual purposes. L: Magid's post. R: excerpt from the intro of Dr. Magda Teter's "Blood LIbel: on the Trail of An Antisemitic Myth"
Screenshot from Shaul Magid's substack article, "When a Country is the Victim of a Blood Libel: From Anti-Antisemitim to Anti-Genocidism."

Text:

Blood libel is a horrific false accusation against a largely powerless Jewish population. Its roots lie in the Middle Ages. The earliest known case of a blood libel was in the 12th century with a murdered boy called William of Norwich who libelists claimed was killed by Jews to use his blood for Passover. This absurd accusation was repeated numerous times in Europe and the Levant, perhaps the most well-known cases being the blood libel in Damascus in 1840, in Hungary in 1882, and then in Kyiv in 1911. The Nazis used the blood libel accusation as part of their war against the Jews.

In short, a blood libel is a horrible false accusation against a powerless minority by a powerful majority – church or state, whose intent was to rally the populace against the Jews. Over the course of their long history, Jews have occupied that vulnerable position and, even considering Salo Baron’s famous “lachrymose” theory of Jewish history, they have suffered under the hands of those who not only sought to harm them, but also had the power to do so.Although other medieval anti-Jewish tales, including the desecration of the consecrated communion wafer and the poisoning of wells, have lost their power and appeal, the tale that Jews killed Christian children—known as the “ritual murder” or “blood libel”—survives, adapting to changing cul￾tural and political climates. In the Middle East, the ritual murder iconog￾raphy is a visual tool in anti-Israeli cartoons. In Europe the stories and sites associated with it are magnets for fascist and white supremacist groups, as suggested by the May 2015 encounter in Lincoln. The British Movement is not the only group embracing this narrow part of the medieval past in desiring to revive cults grounded in these anti-Jewish tales. In 2007, a group in Italy emerged, seeking to revive the cult of Simon of Trent, which had been abolished in 1965.7 Simon’s death in 1475 resulted in one of the most notorious persecutions of Jews, leaving a lasting literary, visual, and even legal legacy. In April 2019, a gunman entered a synagogue in Poway near San Diego, killing one and injuring several others. In his online manifesto, he invoked Simon of Trent saying, “You are not forgotten Simon of Trent, the horror that you and countless children have endured at the hands of the Jews will never be forgiven.”

The attraction of the blood libel legend for far right, fascist, and white supremacist groups has a longer history than its twenty-first-century revival. On May 1, 1934, the Nazi paper Der Stürmer published a special issue devoted to “Ritual Murder” (Fig.  0.1). The headline in big red letters screamed “A Jewish Plan to Murder Non-Jews Uncovered!”

This is why you can't reform capitalism. You must either crush it, or be crushed by it. Its relationship to the masses is antagonistic, and it cannot be bargained or reasoned with because it is inherently a system that is beyond reason, serving only a small ruling class.
