We are told that the arts are left-wing, but Ed Sheeran is an example of how artists are ruthlessly targeted, harassed, and threatened with career termination if they stray away from the left-wing script by even a little bit.
G’mar Chatima Tovah.
Wishing everyone in Illinois observing Yom Kippur a meaningful fast. May this time of deep reflection bring you all peace, forgiveness, and strength.
It’s not just weird; it’s delusional.
HE. IS. PSYCHOTIC.
If your grandpa said things like this, you’d take him in for a full neuropsychiatric workup.
And it’s time the media starts interviewing psychiatrists and psychologists to talk about it.
DO. YOUR. JOBS.
So Trump iced a deal with Denmark and Greenland in which he got basically nothing. Just a huge climb down from his demands which were always stupid. We can all be happy that Greenland and Denmark made him look like a silly bitch.
Do you think that one of the reasons more celebrities don’t speak up about Palestine is they are afraid you guys will demand they be sent to the Hague and tried for war crimes if they say the wrong thing?
Decades of this performative silliness on steroids instead of doing the hard work of building a state that doesn't want to destroy the one sitting next to you is why there is still no country called Palestine.
The reason people are “taking 9/11 more seriously this year” is that many people are now obsessed with hating Israel, and think Israel did it. So now it’s a very serious crime instead of a joke to them
Literacy is genociding the illiterate.
Soup kitchens are genociding the hungry.
Health care is genociding the sick.
Jobs are genociding the unemployed.
Habitat for Humanity is genociding the homeless.
Comedians are genociding the somber.
Santa Claus genocides the untoyed.
For those keeping track of how today’s left uses the word “genocide”:
Just recently we learned that imposing sanctions against the Cuban regime is genocide. We now learn that solutions for obesity are also genocide.
At this point, it’s completely clear that in modern socialist vocabulary, the definition of “genocide” approaches that of “fascist” — meaning, anything a socialist doesn’t like, which is pretty much everything related to Western democracy and free-market capitalism.
Remember this next time they scream about genocide in Gaza.
"Capitalism is why people have to work" is very silly thing to say, but it's part of a grand tradition of blaming literally everything, no matter how absurd, on capitalism.
A short thread:
People really don’t understand how pervasive the hate is getting. Anti-Jew hate went from something many of us never directly experienced in our lives to something we now encounter in person and on social media in myriad ways, multiple times a day, every single day.
The goal for many “leftists” isn’t to win widespread support for a proper welfare state, which is attainable with a bit of smarts and effort
The goal is to be niche and unpopular while building in-group social cachet
Over the past 3 years, I have directly been called many racial slurs by pro-Palestine activists, including: "monkey," "ape," "gorilla," and the n-word. They've even made AI images depicting me as a dog being walked on a leash by a Jewish owner. They've made direct threats to me.
So no, I do not believe that the racial slur directed at Hakeem Jeffries was a "mistake."
