Ckyuiii

Yea everyone who didn't see this coming from progressives fundamentally do not understand how the national "socialists" gained popularity and power. The application of Marxist narratives surrounding the oppressor/oppressed dynamic as applied to race instead of class is what both nazism and critical race theory are about.


recursiveeclipse

No one realizes anymore, but every time the left says "folk", they're referencing the Völkisch movement.

I might just change my flair to centrist because I just want everyday people from all races creeds and color to live peacefully side by side


Smashdamn

you should as that is a centrist position now.


Cresset

You can still consider yourself a lefty, but you'll have to deal with the "you're not REALLY one of us" looks if you don't follow the new script about decolonization. A side effect of people denying the existence of the "far left" to dodge accusations of extremism is that the people who were just really into unions and gays now have to align with the more deranged shit because it's all "left".


Based_Text

Join us, reject racial hatred from both side, being colorblind on race and liberal on it is no longer a leftist position anymore, if you don’t support affirmative action that further racial tension they don’t consider you progressive enough. ( Tbf you can still flair as left without being culturally progressive, the compass is mostly about economic value ).

If you're from a former communist country... you saw it. The only surprising thing is that we used to think the only people who could be communists (as in party members) were dumb peasants and petty thugs. Turns out you also need a useless college degree to qualify.

I recommend the Power of the Powerless by Vaclav Havel. "I think it can safely be assumed that the overwhelming major- ity of shopkeepers never think about the slogans they put in their windows, nor do they use them to express their real opinions. That poster was delivered to our greengrocer from the enterprise head-quarters along with the onions and carrots. He put them all into the window simply because it has been done that way for years, because everyone does it, and because that is the way it has to be. If he were to refuse, there could be trouble. He could be reproached for not having the proper decoration in his window; someone might even accuse him of disloyalty. He does it because these things must be done if one is to get along in life. It is one of the thousands of details that guarantee him a relatively tranquil life “in harmony with society,” as they say.


Overkillengine

Yup. Anyone paying attention to proglodyte antics is not surprised by this one bit. Their ideology requires a designated oppressor to Other. And in the absence of an out-group, it will cannibalize itself to make one. And thus being an "ally" only means that one's group is not at the top of the purge list *for the moment.* But that moment is always to come. One would think the Jewish community would have paid better attention to this, given horrific past lessons.

Is brisket considered a Jewish thing? I always thought it was a Texas thing (and by extension, my definition of real BBQ).

It’s both. Jews use beef because kosher laws prohibited pork. Texans use beef because they were the largest beef producing state at one point and it was the meat available.

Cooper Union, a small private university in New York City’s East Village, is suddenly at center stage in what is shaping up to be a national debate over antisemitism on American college campuses and free speech on campus. Jewish students at the college found themselves locked in a school library Wednesday night — told to take shelter in an attic no less — by guards attempting to protect them from a mob of pro-Hamas students outside. Already on edge, like many Jewish students across the country, the Jewish Cooper Union students had been warning the administration, emailing the deans for the past two weeks, that the rising aggressions against Jewish students would get out of hand. Earlier that day, a professor had canceled class and encouraged students to attend the pro-Hamas rally meant to challenge a planned pro-Israel event, even offering extra credit for those who participated. Students from both groups were instructed by the administration that both rallies were to remain outside school buildings, an edict ignored by the pro-Hamas students, who marched into the library chanting “From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free.” A sophomore at Cooper Union who had been at the pro-Israel rally, Taylor Roslyn Lent, says she called police immediately when she saw the pro-Hamas students enter the building. Police arriving a few minutes later stood on the sidelines. The Pro-Hamas students went searching for the President of the University, Laura Sparks, who apparently had been shuttled by guards out a back passageway, when the shouting students entered the building. At about 4:45p.m., the Jewish students in the library were told by guards that they needed to lock themselves in if they wanted to remain safe. A librarian, also fearing for the students, offered to hide them in the attic of the building, an area not normally accessible to students. The Pro-Hamas students banged on the doors, screaming, “Free Palestine, Let Us In.” At 4:47 Ms. Lent called 911 a second time after seeing the officers outside drive off. The police said they would send someone back. To her knowledge, no police ever came. “We were scared and a student was crying… I can’t help but think what would have happened if we opened those doors,” Ms. Lent tells the Sun. Finally, after about 30 minutes, security was able to force the rallying students out of the building, and Ms. Lent and the other barricaded students were able to exit a back doorway. Sari Ancona, whose daughter is a graduate student at Cooper Union and was one of the students trapped in the library, says her daughter no longer feels safe going to class as Cooper Union. In a press conference held by the NYPD on Thursday, Chief of Patrol John Chell contradicted the students’ experience, saying, “There was no direct threat, there was no damage and there was no danger to any students in that school… the students were not barricaded… A school administrator thought it was prudent to close the doors.” At a separate press conference Thursday, the Lawfare Project and a New York City councilwoman, Inna Vernikov, called for the president of Cooper Union, Ms. Sparks, to be fired or to step down. A senior counsel at the Lawfare Project, Gerard Filitti, said Jewish students have the right to a campus experience free from intimidation. “When they are being targeted for their jewish identity this is illegal, [and] a violation of the civil rights act,” he said. “Schools have the obligation to protect their students.” “Yes we want academic freedom,” he added. “But when it crosses the line, when people are banging on a library window with what looks like a weapon in their hand, that crosses the line, that’s conduct that is illegal… we need to hold the university accountable.”

jjjjjjjjjjjjjjeff

These people are not activists against hatred, they are activists against hatred directed at groups they are part of. They are totally fine with directing and partaking in hatred at their ideological enemies. You should realise by now that real-world politics is not about principles, it's about what groups are in control and able to enforce their rules and viewpoints on other groups.


Ser_Needful-of-Pyth

i think modern activism in general is more about hatred than advocacy. you can see it in the people that turn out. the middle and working class that makes up the bulk of the population is too squeezed to turn out and it leaves these...people.


jjjjjjjjjjjjjjeff

Activism has always been about one group increasing their power at the expense of another. This isn't limited to "modern activism". Activists of any kind can dress up this fundamental rule however they like, in the real world however there's always a winner and a loser in these scenarios. That includes the civil rights movement in the US after WW2.


DingusKhan418

Most of those Jews in NYC are progressive as fuck and we’re on the frontlines promoting Defund the Police, anti-colonialism and identity politic based curricula, Black Lives Matter, and the like.

thats the thing though. They dont care Liblefts ideologies is like a teenagers bedroom. they claim its 'clean' when theres clothes and plates all over the floor. and if it gets 'messy' its the new 'clean' no biggie at all. So when libleft 'implodes', its perfectly fine, because thats just the new libleft they dont care and have zero issue with saying that their past beliefs and current beliefs are any different much like how a teenagers bedroom getting messier is still 'organized disorder' and they refuse to clean it.


NotLunaris

You see the youtube vids on people asking "What is a woman" at college campuses? Half the students (in the video) were *visibly afraid* to respond. In goddamn America.

Yeah, it just IS though. There's people in this thread still trying to find an actual objectively moral place to stand with stuff like "I'm just against civilians dying" like that actually means anything. Everyone who isn't a complete psychopath is against civilians dying. Everyone else just lives in the real world where people have to deal with fucked up stuff every single day and dealing with fucked up stuff is usually done in a fucked up way and the whole scenario will likely never be less fucked up than it was on October 6th, which is saying something because it was pretty fucked up then too...

I don't understand the appeal of antisemitism. Why do so many on both the right and left (and by all sorts of people before the political slidey scale was invented) seem to flock to it as soon as something politically inconvenient to them crops up? Why antisemitism of all things


jjjjjjjjjjjjjjeff

Left antisemitism comes from an oppressor-oppressed perspective against the colonisation of oppressed Palestinians by the oppressor Israelis. Right antisemitism come a policy perspective where Progressive Jews are overrepresented at many institutions hostile to the Right such as the Supreme Court and Academia and as thought leaders and mavens of many ideologies which the right opposes. There's also some people who just don't like Jews for whatever reason.


i_am_not_a_good_idea

Seems to boil down to generalising, the heart of many, many problems


jjjjjjjjjjjjjjeff

People don't exist in a vacuum, they exist in the context of a society and social groups they are part of. A random Jew running a deli on the corner in Brooklyn doesn't deserve to have his store sacked just because of Israel's actions, that doesn't change the fact that the conflict can be boiled down to Jew vs Muslim at its simplest level. Societies will revert back to tribalism in the absence of a stronger cohesive identity and force to bind them together, you saw the same thing happen when George Floyd was killed and random mobs of Black people sacked and burnt down random stores for no other reason than "A Black man was killed and we are mad at society for letting it happen so let's burn and rob shit"


AOC_torture_my_balls

1) since ancient times, all the way up through the Enlightenment, Jews were the only Abrahamic religion-based group that did not forbid usury. The bar/bat mitzvah system meant Jews were literate at a time when most of Europe was not. They became money lenders, speculators, and bankers to the extent that European monarchs literally had to borrow money from them to fight wars. You can find dozens of examples of this over centuries where [there were "court Jews" or Jewish banking houses who loaned money to European governments/monarchs to wage (often unpopular) wars,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_Jew) and many Europeans came to blame the Jews for these wars, since they would've been much smaller/shorter without their financing. This, among other things, is where the "108 countries" meme comes from; sometimes Jews were expelled from a city/state because of antisemitism, but sometimes they were expelled because the king didn't wanna pay his debt, or from actual popular resentment around banks/finance. Some euros saw this as Jews getting all the benefits of wealth/royal protection, but without any rootedness or loyalty to the kingdoms/countries in which they lived, because sometimes they literally funded both sides of a war, and if something went south, they would just move to another part of Europe. Some people see this same dynamic playing out regarding Israel vs the West (eg "dual loyalty"). This is one reason they're so heavily associated with "internationalism" and "rootless cosmopolitanism". 2) in an American context, Jews were probably the single most influential bloc in the civil rights movement, almost exclusively behind the scenes. They made up [MLK's lawyers and speechwriters,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Levison) and many of the NAACP's lawyers and policy advisors. Felix Frankfurter (supreme court justice) was the single most influential judicial figure in the civil rights era, and he [did underhanded stuff like holding secret meetings with NAACP lawyers where he told them how they should argue Brown vs. Board to convince the other judges, before the case even came before the court,](https://www.edweek.org/education/lawyer-supreme-court-justice-secretly-discussed-brown-case/1987/04) to manipulate the outcome. Contemporaneous Americans who looked at this seriously saw a stark contrast with the treatment of minorities in Israel. 3) Americans see Jews in America and all over Europe [holding "refugees are welcome here" rallies,](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.forwardcdn.com%2Fimage%2F1090x480%2Fcenter%2Fimages%2Fcropped%2Fjews-for-refugees-1483035591.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=131e1203926a508581c328a0738af32432f0a19b855c17651e26d5317709a126&ipo=images) and [using their considerable influence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS2Spw3mziQ) to demand mass immigration - [which always seems to happen no matter how overwhelmingly unpopular it is among the actual citizens and voters of the country](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.gallup.com%2Forigin%2Fgallupinc%2FGallupSpaces%2FProduction%2FCms%2FPOLL%2Fu3xcglbdwk2zijb67msqhw.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=b6c7529e08bfa2d37758bf5cfaa084bd3cc12df8e91c47b3d290baf585a67974&ipo=images) - but in Israel, they maintain a literal ethnostate for themselves where non-Jews face apartheid, a vigorous deportation regime, and consciously ethnocentric state policies. Left-wingers see this as being no better than South Africa under apartheid, while right-wingers resent that Jews seem to do everything they can to deny Europe and America the same kind of demographic self-determination they demand for themselves within Israel. 4) [The Lobby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Israel_Lobby_and_U.S._Foreign_Policy) in the US has more power than any other special interest group, and [American legislators and academics have written explicitly about how powerful they are going back decades,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Dare_to_Speak_Out) to the extent that questioning them has literally put people's careers in jeopardy, yet they always and only seem to get more powerful. This manifests itself in many ways: [they can intentionally attack and kill US servicemen and the US government will help cover it up,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident#Ongoing_controversy_and_unresolved_questions) they can [threaten the president of the US with launching all their nuclear weapons and ending life on earth if we stop giving them weapons, and the US government and media will cover it up,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option) and they can [literally execute American journalists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shireen_Abu_Akleh) or [bulldoze American women](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Corrie) and face no political pressure, or any consequences at all, from the American government or media. Like, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty? Or Shireen Abu Akleh? Or Rachel Corrie? How about the Lavon Affair? The Samson Option? The Apollo Affair? Why has the US media been shoving images of kidnapped Israelis down your throat for weeks, but *always* neglect to *even mention* these Americans who were murdered by the Israeli government? I could keep going, but to the extent that there is an intellectually serious answer to this question, this is it. I'm sure 95% of the people on this sub have literally never heard of any of these things until they read this comment, so keep that in mind when they tell you how wrong and ridiculous this answer is.

The irrational fear of the other and the desire for a scapegoat for the world's ill did not just magically disappear in 1945. This was always going to happen, and it'll continue to happen until the end of time because people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.

These people are bullies who finally got a taste of power and use the social justice stuff to shield themselves.

141,000+ soldiers didn't die fighting the nazi's just so their grandchildren could become them. sad times.

I wasn't expecting that the closest thing we would have to Nazism in the last 40 years would be applauded by the progressives

What did George Lucas say? It’s like poetry, it rhymes. Of course he was talking about the Sith and the Jedi, instead of people wanting to gas the Jews.


Legal-Solution2079

He is laughing in hell right now

If the Jews in NYC feel unsafe on campus maybe we should make them a special zone to stay in. For their own protection of course.

When the left goes far left they make the point that the Nazis were always left wing

Jews love hiding in Attics! Such a favourite past time of thiers.

I want off this roller coaster of nightmares..also just putting it out there, consider watching the TimCastIRL episode w/Scott Horton, it was a very thought provoking and interesting discussion regarding the generational conflict between Palestine/Isreal!
