Leftists have gotten real comfortable calling for violence/death to all zionists, and it really makes me wonder 1. how they define zionism and 2. whether they're remotely aware of how much of the world's Jewish population that includes. Based on the rhetoric I've seen condemned on here, I'm going to go with the very most basic definition of supporting a Jewish homeland in the Levant.

85% of the global Jewish population is in the U.S. or Israel. I'm assuming that any Israeli Jew who hasn't emigrated is fair game, so that's about 45% of all Jews there. According to Pew's most recent data, 82% of American Jews say that caring about Israel is "essential or important" to their Jewish identity.

Even if we just assume that every Jew in the world outside these two countries is staunchly anti-zionist (they're not), that's fully 80% of world jewry supporting Israel to some degree.

When you call for all zionists to die, you are calling for the death of 80% of Jews. Over 12 million people. That is the death toll of two holocaust.

I am appalled by the violence in Gaza. I support a ceasefire with release of hostages. I support self-determination and freedom of movement for Palestinians. I am deeply critical of the Israeli government. But I support a Jewish state. If that's the bar for deserving to die, you're a lot less pro-Jew than you think.

#im not jewish but everything i learn zionism is in fact a very complicated and nuanced topic #and is mostly created due to anti semitism #so like #i blame anti-semites for making the world unsafe for jewish people when it comes to isreal existing #what i do know is in order for palestinians to be okay there needs to be a massive overhaul of everything isreal was built on #and maybe there to not be an isreal at all honestly #that specific country is built on is based on separating jewish people not from palestine from others who were already in the area #including other jewish people #similarly to how the USA without its imperial and colonial attributes wouldn't be the USA as we know it yk what i mean? #it bugs me when people act the way the people int his thread described #because liek most of these people are int he USA #like the USA is just as bad as isreal if not worse #arguably everything isreal does to palestine is because of the USA and europe #these countries are starting and producing this genocide arguably more than isreal with our companies and colonial roots #isreal would not have existed without antisemitisim #the root of the problem is white supremacy in all forms

i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)

my general rule with using the word queer in reference to someone is i wait to see if the person uses it to refer to themselves and then i use it to refer to them, otherwise i just use lgbt. like its a widely reclaimed umbrella term but some people are still uncomfortable with it and its pretty easy to just take that into consideration

#personally i use queer to refer specifically to like sexuality and gender identities which face discrimination in general #that includes systemic discrimination like marrying multiple people being illegal or how interracial relationships are viewed as deviant #i feel like thats pretty non controversial

I really deeply hate how the correct statement "using man-hating as a cover for transmisogyny is awful and you need to be able to recognize when that's being used as a dogwhistle" has somehow evolved into "misandry is real and that's why terfs are wrong" like no I don't think it is. Can we please retire Not All Men I can't do this

I feel the need to periodically remind people that Idiocracy is a eugenics movie.

One of the things that eugenicists believe is that it is bad for society when the “wrong people” breed.

The entire premise of the movie is that “stupid people” kept having kids while “smart people” didn’t have kids, and it ruined society because stupid genes propagated while smart genes died out. This is eugenics propaganda.

I know people will read this and their response will be “actually it’s satire” but the movie isn’t satirizing eugenics. It’s satirizing anti-intellectualism, and consumerism, and it proposes eugenics as a solution.

When eugenics was first conceived, it was used as a way to justify inequality. The idea was that people who held privilege were able to do so because they were smarter and genetically superior to lazy and stupid people who don’t have privilege. Obviously this is bad and wrong, but it is also the core lesson of Idiocracy.

The movie literally ends with the main character becoming president and having “the smartest children in the world.” Because he and his wife have smarter genes than everyone else. The proposed solution for the things that Idiocracy is satirizing is for the smart people to have children that can be in charge of the world.

I know it’s fun to use this movie to dunk on anti-intellectualism and the MAGA movement, but we need to stop. When you quote and reference this movie you are spreading eugenics propaganda.

Here's to the people who weren't abused by their parents, but whose parents sucked anyways. Here's to people whose parents fucked up raising you out of ignorance and not malice. Here's to the kids whose parents didn't know what to do with you so they did nothing at all. Here's to people whose parents are getting better and growing as people but still hurt you. Here's to every mean comment that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't come from your mom; here's to awkward family dinners because you're all trying to forget;

here's to you, survivor of a thousand 'not as bad as it could have been' hurts. I see you. You aren't alone.
