Admit that Hamas is a collection of brutal religious fanatics who actually want a real genocide, while putting out false propaganda that it's Israel trying to exterminate them.
You can concede that Israel isn't the bad guy in this situation, while at the same time saying, "We have enough problems at home, we shouldn't be sending them our money."
I might not fully agree with you, but I can respect that position. That's just a difference of opinion regarding spending.
Portraying Israel as evil genocidal maniacs just isn't accurate or fair. They're the victims in this whole thing. They're surrounded by religious nuts who want them dead. They are living under extremely different circumstances than we are here in the US, where our only "foreign invasion" issue involves too many illegal immigrants flooding into the US, and the drug cartels pushing their stuff over the border. We are not under existential threat. Israel is.
It’s not like Nick Fuentes or Candace Owens or the vast majority of those speaking out against Israel short of college students really give a fuck about Palestinians. And college students generally will take up the cause of anyone darker than Brad Pitt. They are consistently bleeding hearts. If it was Native Americans, they’d be protesting. So I don’t view their activity last year as anything new.
What’s new and what I told you was coming 5 years ago was that if the right continued to embrace the conspiracy shit, it would eventually backfire on Jews.
Somewhere buried in that Covid thread I think, but a conversation we certainly had here, was me telling you about seeing this local guy over in PA and how it threw me that he was like the most popular guy in town and he had a large Swastika tattoo. Like a local biker business guy who paid for all the kids school lunch programs. He was Iraq vet. Nice guy in general to me because I’m basically an Aryan poster guy at first glance and it’s not like I have any desire to talk politics with a bunch of hillbillies. But I’m a people watcher.
I just thought about the difference between then and my childhood. Like a guy could finance the school lunch program and if he had Nazi tattoos, it would have been parents saying get him the fuck away from my kids. And then the Facebook shit I’d see circulate. That mixture of conspiracy that if you were smart, could see it was essentially blaming Jews. Most didn’t take it that way because they’re dumb, but I knew someone would eventually take them that direction.
You handwaved it away at the time like always. Some rural dude in PA wasn’t indicative of any larger movement according to you and I privately laughed at your naïveté. As if you had a better idea of who exactly MAGA was when I live surrounded by them while you interact with them on the internet. Like being in the LA suburbs gives you a feel.
Think of how we’d speak if we were having dinner in Vegas and saw a bunch of black kids creating drama. We’d look at each other, roll our eyes, and if we couldn’t be overheard, would probably say let’s get the fuck out of here and away from these n-words. But we wouldn’t if there was a black guy at the table we like. Being a Jew, you aren’t hearing how people talk now. I’m not saying it’s as prevalent as disgust with black culture, but it’s something I never heard at 30 in my life. People bitching about Jews. Now it’s fairly common. And it’s not like I’m around liberals. No leftist liberals at all.
You like to think you’re the average Republican and all these nut jobs just help you win elections.
No, It’s their party and you just help them win elections. You’re their black vote, not vice versa.
This is like a perfect storm of bad shit as far as feelings towards Jews go. The tipping point that made it bipartisan and populist was Epstein/Iran. That’s when it went from fringe to mainstream and public sentiment shifted largely. It was long coming but that was the moment it all came together.
I have no idea who sponsored Epstein, but it sure seems likely Jews were involved. Following it up and at almost the exact moment bombing Iran was bad optics. Then the Bondi and Patel idiocy where they pretended they didn’t just act like the Epstein file release was the biggest issue facing America for years and playing dumb.
It made Trump look beholden to Jews at a time he was clearly covering up the Epstein files for whatever reason. That was a giant opening.
Their continued missteps since just make it worse. As much as you’d like America First and Israel first to be complimentary, it isn’t.
Like yes buy social media companies and attempt to sway opinion. Thats smart. Announcing you’re doing it is idiotic.
I have always valued Jewish people because of their contributions to science and the world. I genuinely like your people. In a world getting dumber by the day, I am for more smart people. That they’re a little pushy and neurotic and try to hustle me occasionally isn’t some deal breaker. The good outweighs the bad.
But when I see Netanyahu I don’t see a smart guy. I listen to him and if he was ever smart, that time has passed.
I get Jews didn’t have a lot of good options, but tying themselves to MAGA and evangelicals was pure idiocy. The entire movement is an anti-intellectual movement. They hate science. They hate education. They claim to love Jesus while being the ugliest souls alive. Well they don’t forget your people killed him.
I grew up among evangelicals. They love the land. That’s distinctly different than loving the people on that land they viewed as damned if they don’t convert. Like I respect Jewish achievement. Find a MAGA person who could even name those achievements.
And when your biggest contributions to the world are science and medicine and education, joining up with the people who don’t value those things is idiocy.
Just sit back and think how dumb it is to join a movement of evangelicals and largely uneducated people when your main contributions are in the hard sciences. Imagine joining the chorus who rail against the MSM when you owned the fucking MSM.
Now some kid on the internet is viewed 100x more and more influential than the networks you owned. Imagine supporting MAGA who blames everything on Hollywood when you ran Hollywood. Enjoy those Kirk Cameron movies directed by Mel Gibson.
A secular progressive culture that values education and science and the arts, all areas where Jews excel, was what provided decades of prosperity free of anti-semitism.
Now you’re tied to retards who don’t value any of that. And our debt is ballooning. It’s the tipping point. And everyone knows where it went sideways. The Middle East wars and bank bailouts. The last place you want people looking if you’re a Jew.
Muslim chants of death to America is and has always been entirely about our support of Israel. Their way of life isn’t western. They’d view us as immoral demons, but what Stone Age people think is irrelevant. They aren’t a threat. They never do 9/11 if they don’t hate us because we support Israel. If we said fuck Israel tomorrow they’d build statues of Trump all over the Middle East and he’d be second to Mohammed.
So the we need Israel as some foothold in the Middle East isn’t a real argument when support of Israel is the only reason we need a foothold in the Middle East. Give Israel up and they love us.
You like to think all those Jews who excelled in America post WW2 and aligned themselves with Democrats were dumb. They weren’t the dumb ones. Those were people who had recently seen what happens when the fascist right seizes control. Those are Jews who saw the whole playing field and made a smart choice and realized a secular culture that values science and education would allow them to flourish with their natural skills.
But then some Jews started thinking let’s join with the morons who hate that they didn’t finish school and have shit jobs, who hate science, who hate medicine up until they need it, who love to sue when schools become more secular and start removing the 10 commandments and other assorted fairy tales. But those are the smart Jews to you.
It’s pretty clear you’re going to keep posting whatabouts right up until you have a moment of clarity about who you’re in bed with.
