We very badly need to marginalize these people and treat it the same as following Hanania or being a Tucker fan, and we equally as badly need to have a position on owners of the tech that spreads this shit (social media) bribing the pedophile president so they wouldn't be held accountable for it.

yes to be clear this *is* a right winger's overly hostile and misleading commentary. but as you said, defending BDS as a legitimate form of protest there, especially after certain people loudly took issue with her attending this forum at all, speaks volumes bsky.app/profile/janp...

these weren’t even deep cut album tracks of antisemitism. this stuff used to be the ‘oh you’re such a big fan that you tracked down that EP they released independently before they signed with a major label’ of antisemitism.

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

the state can be the equalizer. it can make the amount of wealth or influence someone has most irrelevant to the outcome. but in the United States, it has not done that for some time. if ever. that's what this is about to me.

to build a socialist society, we need a higher trust society. the social contract has to be enforced by expectations. not norms, not, 'you should do x but not y' but 'if you do x but not y the power of the state will be wielded against you'

if you want to know what 'Zohran filling potholes' looks like at the federal executive level it's this. little but noticeable steps towards accountability. it doesn't make the structural crises go away, but it makes them a hell of a lot less noticeable and buys you good will.

probably the single most destructive tendency on the left-of-center for actually achieving anything is the ease with which one can imagine politics as an *alternative* to addressing individual, personal-scale problems, when in reality a better world can only be the work of better people.

making the left, the only real hope to eventually end American support of Israel, hostile to antizionist Jews, or even just Jews willing to oppose what zionism has become, might make you feel righteous or feel like it validates Arab and Muslim comrades. it doesn't. it's empty gratification.

this is a collective action problem. you cannot solve a collection action problem on your own, you have to organize, and part of that is keeping your organizing spaces free of bigotry.

I sympathize but what you have to realize is that you, individually, have far more ability to keep the left a safe place for Jewish comrades than to abolish the state of Israel. and indeed we need the former to make the latter possible.

You don’t start an attack with small arms. In woke 1, we were sending in infantry to do artillery’s job. The Cornell Daily Sun has spotted the target and called in the fire mission. The mayor of Ithaca has zeroed the enemy’s position. Fire for effect.

In our own networks, we should think of this in terms of potential infiltration. Deny the hostiles space to maneuver. Don’t wait for the enemy to secure a beachhead. Calling out rape culture isn’t for an abstract national conversation, it’s defensive fire.

I don’t think we should take the woke 1 tack of decoding it to decry it. I think woke 2 should decode it to destroy it. This is intelligence about the dispositions of the enemy. When a man says rapey things or defends accused frat boys, we should be flagging him as a potential hostile.

One of the many lessons of the Trump era is that rapists are very well-organized and actively work to protect each other. Fraternities serve that function in the open, and so they must be destroyed if we are serious about accountability for rapists.
