Because it is an ethnoreligion. Ethnicity and race are not interchangeable and so you have to understand the difference. People use those terms incorrectly and that’s why they say they’re half Jewish. Ethnic identity can be tied to race but it’s not a requirement and that’s why terms like ethnoreligion exist.

You sound confused and upset.

I just yelled at my father and stepbrother on Christmas Eve, “I don’t give a fuck if a man says something is true. I will always verify it for myself before I believe ANYTHING.” My dad has this tendency to expect that I believe whatever he says because he said it.

Ah but his manuscript says that’s exactly WHY he’s not the bigot people make him out to be. l o l. He even says he’s just a bunch of contradictions!!!!

It is absolutely insulting. It tries to remove accountability and it adds to the stigma of mental illness as deficient and incompatible with social norms.

I don’t understand why it’s such a go-to to want to blame mental illness, as if mental illness is the reason why people are awful, disgusting humans.

That’s my point: nothing is removed from or separate from politics when the very root of them is political. The creation of the Supreme Court itself was political from the very start, with Alexander Hamilton arguing vehemently that the Court was not going to be corrupt or above the law and Brutus arguing that it was…

Ignoring the part that due to imperialism of European countries, African countries were robbed of resources and people, and that Europeans engaged in divide and conquer strategies between different peoples (like what the Belgians did in Rwanda) to make them do what the Europeans wanted. Never mind that Europeans…

Hate is not a mental illness. Stop that right now. People can be heinous human beings and not be mentally ill. Such statements do NOTHING to help end the stigma against mental illness.

I love that the manuscript is now out for free and he won’t make any money off of it.

Yes, he could be. It is a dumbass risk since he’s already out. But there’s no drug like white male entitlement.

But that’s not the judge’s fault, that’s the fault in us and our system, that all the focus is on presidential elections and so we vote for judges we know nothing about and make no attempt to know anything about.

Also, it’s very fucked up for Jews when ignoramuses pull quotes from the Old Testament and go “SEE? SO BACKWARD.” Since absolutely NONE of us read the Torah like that—face value, no questions asked, nothing explained or stricken from belief. People do this shit with the Quran, too. An integral part of religious…

That’s SO common. It’s why I don’t trust even the most liberal of men. It’s why I heavily side-eye any male feminist (always self-proclaimed, of course). It’s exactly for this shit. They talk about how important women are and how necessary equality is, but the second women start to compete with them? Well now women…

UGH. DISGUSTING.

So reductive. How obnoxious.

Ah. I thought it was amazing that museums were free in London. In Southern California it’s pretty common to pay for admission to museums. They’ll have free days and such, but paying is the norm.

I mean you do you. But I can’t reconcile enjoying a movie about a shithole of a human being.

From Wikipedia:

$25 is expensive for a museum? Really?
