Or, hell, if they’re talking about specific problematic issues like the settlements going beyond established borders or specific incidents of human rights abuses. There are a lot of ways to talk about the situation without being antisemitic or even leaning towards being antisemitic.

Since apparently a lot of people didn’t get it: it doesn’t matter that YOU, special star that you are, genuinely mean “zionist” to mean Jewish supremacy and far right Jewish ideology. It has been so adopted by antisemites to mean “all Jews” that it has lost all meaning as a differentiater. I have read the work of…

It’s a pre-wedding party. Usually meant to be more casual (my cousin’s was a big barbeque at her fiance’s parents’ house) and just a chance for everyone to get to know each other (I for example, hung out with the finace’s parents’ very sweet dog in the kitchen and ended up being the only non-food-prep person allowed…

Idk, the anniversary red run was amazing. So much drama (we had to farm wild Meowth’s Pay Day at some points, the entire Kakuna mess, picking Dome) and amazing story tweaks like fighting the PC and the true final boss.

I know it’s not just the Likud, but I was making a point about how if you were aiming at a one word buzzword that made more sense than zionist. I too just say the government or Netanyahu depending on what I’m talking about. Clunkier, true, but also more accurate.

So he’s your Obama. Cause it sounds like he’s your Obama.

Especially since some leftists (even Jews) thought they could differentiate between “Jews” and “conservative government of Israel” by using “Zionists” as the buzzword without realizing A) the parties that have “Zionist” in their name in Israel are generally the moderates or even liberals, you want the Likud Party, B)…

Exactly, it’s obscenely complicated and by no means the simple one side’s wrong and the other’s right that BOTH the left and right want it to be. It is a massive murky mess tangled up in the demonization of both Jews and Muslims, the conspiracy that Jews Run Everything, both sides’ more despicable tactics, both sides’…

That is exactly what they are. They see third wave feminists as appeasers, or something. I got a lot of hate when I expressed reservations over Moana being labelled an “anti-princess” as part of what I saw as a growing trend of Disney heroines promoting themselves by degrading some of the older heroines (see also:…

Ooh, sounds good.

Oh I had a business class last year and it went all in on how he fucked up the company.

Seriously they need to ditch the clothes and go full super appliance shop. Would be much better.

Yep. There’s tons of people who come into the store I work at looking for stuff we carried years ago and no longer do (just today someone wanted this one specific gold stain we don’t have and someone else wanted a specific kind of marker, both of which we no longer carry and with the stain, haven’t for years). It’s…

Oh don’t leave the lesbians out. Some of the biggest transphobes I’ve seen are lesbians (who also tend to be biphobic and dislike bisexual women for being sexually available to men”).

And don’t forget, being gay does not necessarily mean being for trans rights. There are (sadly) some divisions in the community and some gay people who are transphobic as hell. Including Milo.

Agreed. OP has never seen a rabid fandom in action. Just within the Once Upon a time fandom we’ve had catfishing, attempts to harm people in real life (including one example of writing to an newspaper in one fan’s hometown because someone had decided the fan’s stance on a character made them an unfit mother, so they…

Splatoon was incredible. I still like to play it (though I’m currently on a completionist kick for Hyrule Warriors). It’s just a great game and I’m sure 2 will be too.

I disagree. Calling out homophobic parts of the black community should be no different than calling out racism among white lgbt people. Part of intersectionality is coming to understand that just because you are oppressed in one way does not mean you cannot be an oppressor in another. Not to say you are a terrible…

That says everything, really. They really care about “illegals taking peoples’ jobs”? Then crack down on anyone hiring “illegals”. If you just deport one, another will be hired in their place. If that was genuinely what they cared about they’d be raiding farms and businesses and fining owners for everyly “illegal…

I think he’s Thanos. Like instead of dying he was cast out into the universe and remade himself as the ultimate tyrant. Now he’s coming back to earth and he’s going to flip his shit when he sees Cap still running around.
