I hope they're next. Baffling people, the few among them that could hypothetically deserve to live someday are deeply confused + useless. Escape Reddit & start posting #different. Kill the Redditor in your mind.

The fact that I still ------- care about being Jewish is embarrassing. I should just be, like, a guy. This feels like a stain on our history, and it feels like it’s changed what being Jewish is.

Here Adam presents Judaism as an innate quality. Judaism is a practice, a continuous choice, in the first world participation in Jewish institutions means participation with Zionist institutions, including lib-Zionist institutions such as JVP (🀝 Jackson HinKKKlle). That makes it an interesting choice for someone who is so openly irreverent + vulgar. Suddenly he becomes full of sensitivity on this issue. His experience with birthright is used to present himself + Sanders as authorities on Palestinian issues. This would therefore include his opposition to militancy. Case closed, but we can continue if you wish.

This is a Zionist talking point. Zionists believe that practicing Judaism is the same as being a Zionist. This is not true. Most Zionists are not even Jewish. Most Zionists are Protestant Christians. Judaism is thousands of years old. Zionism is around 100 years old.

To answer your other post, Bernie Sander is a Zionist and he lived in Israel in the 1960s. Bernie Sanders is a Zionist because he thinks that Israel should continue to exist, not because he's Jewish.

It's a Zionist talking point to say that Judaism is an innate ethnic quality. So we're keeping score, that's Agreeing With Hitler Online. That is the foundation of their settler state, and yes, it is frequently a Zionist talking point to crow about the huge proportion of American Jews that support the "right of Israel to exist" (do you think that is Zionism BTW?). Me also citing that statistic negatively, corresponding to their structural support of the settler project through the organizations the US has laid out for them, could only be interpreted as Zionism very disingenuously. Your silence on numerous questions has been #noted. Read Losurdo. Are you a Marxist-Leninist, or a fan of religions? Personally I view their community benefits as replacable. There are historical demonstrations of that. I don't know who you are, but you're not giving me anything good here.

It's a shame you got banned, because I'm genuinely curious where you think this has gone well. I think religion can become outmoded, but substituting it has historically not been great afaik.

That's funny from people who put stock in organizations modeled after Christian charity and think passing around the same musty $20 bills is solidarity. You don't think there is any way to provide the community benefits like redistributing social capital, logistics for sharing food, providing shared interests & activities, rites of passage, festivals, regular meetings, health and hygiene or behavioral guidelines, BANKING (lmao), food storage, education, literacy, supporting people in grief, libraries & community history, and CONCERTS can be provided without religion? Or what did you think I was saying religions do? Why do you reckon I think the reluctant in Zionist families continue to use organizations financially operated by the Fourth Reich, just to be cackling and evil? It's just pretty convenient, [none/use name].

I don't see why you're so inclined to spout dogshit diversionary arguments. I was genuinely asking for historical examples.

[–] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It should be pretty easy to find examples of those roles being supplanted historically, or even try your local mall. Pretty rude to ask for a history lesson at this point. I'll stick to normal book-reading standards, thanks.

You can't find any examples of religion's role in banking being displaced. You can't find one example

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is such a ridiculous argument. When religion is the dominant force in a society, it takes up almost every function. A society later having a secularized version of a given function does not mean that religion as a whole has been overturned.

You cannot imagine living without your present day equivalent of the temple granary.

I'm an atheist, the only religion in my life is the worship of Mammon that hangs over all of America like a pall. You keep throwing out speculation on my personal life and so on but it's just "attack attack attack" grist for the mill, because the only tool in your "socialist" toolbox is this totally anti-social posturing.

Religion to me is a problem that needs to be solved, but you are not presenting any new information, for the same reason as I already explained in my last comment.

I hope at least some Hexbear sees this conversation and realizes that this is how they frequently come off with their "dunking" bullshit. Probably not though, just "their pathetic shit-flinging" and "our righteous dunking".

[–] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

No "Hexbear" is capable of reading this thread in its entirety, let alone a book. The series of ignorant replies is evidence of that. Thorough!

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 days ago

I hope we can both agree that it would be less effort to stop investing social capital in these circus kkklowns than answer my other questions. Otherwise you would have tried. You have one attempt remaining, unless you choose to answer at least several of them. The liberal entertainment complex having good messaging (it doesn't here, explicit Zionism) makes no difference when it prescribes forms of disorganizing that do nothing but exhaust & recoup political pressure. Do you only hate the DNC during election cycles, or look out for their next move? If you were serious about epic harm reduction lib-Zionism, it might be worthwhile. Doesn't seem like there is any time left electorally or militarily speaking.

[–] casskaydee@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

From your own source:

It should also come as no surprise that Friedland is also anti-Zionist, and has been long before the war in Gaza.

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

The article also thinks Sanders is anti-Zionist. It seems I have to ask every single person only these two questions, since they are so aversive: is condemning militancy in the face of Israel's genocidal expansion Zionism? Is it Zionist to campaign for Zionists?
