The "all anti-Zionism is always and forever antisemitism" people and the "all antisemitism becomes fine if we just say it's anti-Zionism, even if we're ranting about the Talmud" people reinforce one another, even if both sides utterly fail to see it.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

this is completely unhinged, even by Trump's standards.
Have you seen the videos of Mitch McConnell back in the Senate? Do you think he should resign because of his health condition?

It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans. So that's just—well, Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I'm not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe's allowed to give them? This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?

We did earlier.

I also think the “comes home one day” framing—as tho it would be completely out of nowhere—dovetails with all the “I got my AI to give me a script to use w/my kids during carpool” nonsense which is, fundamentally, about not wanting to feel bad for being completely incurious about your own children.

The one I see the most on the left is Khazar Theory (a completely debunked belief that Ashenazi Jews are not in fact descendants of Levantine Jews but some fictional European kingdom that converted en masse). In particular I see lefty white Jews being into this one as a sort of self-punishment.

a few years ago, references to Simon of Trent or Leo Frank trutherism were a sign that someone was an intensely Christian and/or Neo-Nazi right-wing antisemite but now formerly-normal lefty politics influencers who stayed on Twitter casually reply to Mamdani with 15th century blood libel posts

Aside from being just genuinely unhinged, why do anti-Mamdani Jews think him becoming mayor is RESPONSIBLE for the rise in antisemitism that has been occurring for YEARS now? IF ANYTHING Mamdani winning would just be a sign of EXISTING antisemitism (it’s not). Please don’t be bigoted AND illogical.

I don’t know which came first, but social media and our extreme political divides really have caused people to believe that it is some sort of moral requirement to have the most bad faith, the most uncharitable interpretations of the most innocuous statements made by total strangers.
Still from a dancing with the stars social media post of a performance by Ezra Frech with a comment under it that says “I didn’t know who the pro was for the first half of the video until I realized the leg 😮! They’re both amazing and the dance was fantastic 😍” with a comment below that says “his leg would prevent him from being a pro dancer?” 

Ezra Frech is a celebrity contestant on the show who has a prosthetic leg from the knee down.

The Knesset barred today the only two Palestinian led parties from running in the coming election. According to an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, the constitutional meaning of a Jewish State is a state where Palestinian citizens cannot run for parliament.

Just in terms of sheer chaos Threads remains unrivaled as a social media platform. Logging on is such a uniquely deranging experience, I've never encountered anything like it in all my years of being on the internet
Threads post with photo of Capitol One Arena in DC filled with people, which is in Chinatown, which has existed for like a hundred years. Text: I’ve never been this far up in this place. Also: Since when does D.C. have a Chinatown? That wasn’t a thing last time I lived in the area.

Also part of their project now is to try to salvage conservative ideology by making it seem like their ideas are “still popular” & that Trump is just a weird outlier. He was the ENDGAME. They spent all their marbles on him & got most of what they wanted. Don’t give them more marbles to spend!

Something that has always driven me crazy is people who think they are “too smart” for therapy as though a therapy session is a battle of wits & not the enactment of learned skills in a codified manner by a trained professional. Are you “too smart” to get chemo?

Happy Yom Kippur! Remember,“Judeo-Christian values” was a concept invented to encourage Jews to participate in the white supremacist project, but we will always have more in common religiously, ethically & culturally w/our Muslim brethren & more to gain in solidarity w/them than with those in power.
