aka "Persecution complex"
post
Got a report on this post about the top left photo calling it a "nazi style jew caricature". It appears the photo is real/legit. As in, it's not an AI-generated image, it's a photo, and it's not edited to speak of, and it documents a real incident that really happened. Not that that specifically determines whether it's antisemitic or not. Jews are human, and bigotry against humans is unacceptable. The question here in my mind is "is this image a dehumanizing representation of a Jewish person or does does image tell a story of a soldier heavily-armed settler committing atrocities?" And after the research I've done, I feel it leans pretty heavily toward the latter and I don't think action is warranted in this case.
„AI slop commissioner” wait wait wait what? People really commission AI images from others? Isn’t the whole point of AI image gen that everyone can do it themselves?
There do exist the thirsty who will pay for anything to get their dopamine high, rather than even trying to use LLMs, believing it's beyond their skill level.
I imagine it's like photography, where the main skill is in positioning and such. Or like any art, where having the right eyes and good taste is what makes good art great. A real artist could make prettier slop than a layman could.
Cuck porn
leave us cucks out of this, we’d rather watch
"I wanna watch" and "I want a watch" sound similar but the divorce rates are probably higher for one of them.
That one there. Those promptbros and their fanbases not stopping to constantly produce the latest shiny cheesecake with the maximum possible dimensions.
Id add a 5th for vocal fans of any major franchise, particularly Star Wars, but that's neithere here nor there.
My reasoning mostly from a laughably idiotic lie about some idiot supposedly being laughed at by Kathleen Kennedy when she was at a convention, and the fans lapped up that crybaby nonsense.
You can try, but he might just try to murder you and your family and claim your house was promised to him 3000 years ago
Top right was Qanon.
A distinction without a difference
We could say the same about MAGAts and Christian Nationalists. All MAGAts are Christian Nationalists. I'm not saying the post should be different nor do I have an immediate idea for an alternative panel though.
No they're not. Plenty of MAGAts are just monarchists, or think that Trump will fix the USA, without having a specifically Christian ideal. Also a handful of them are Jewish, e.g. Ben Shapiro.
The biggest difference is qanon actually believed that politicians running a pedophile ring was a bad thing. They were just misinformed as to who was running it.
They're the part of maga that bailed when the first Trump/Epstein files dropped.
This isn't specifically about qanon and/or MAGA, but there was definitely a subset of conspiracy theorists who saw Epstein revelations and asked what it was a distraction from. It's pretty crazy to me that they got their holy grail and then decided to doubt it. (Again, not a universal thing.)
Actually yeah, you're not wrong. The guy in the photo has since come out in opposition to Trump and Israel, so that's quite something
AI slop commissioner is so cute, how do I become one?
Top left is the missing link. Didn't realize it'd be a hateful fuck though.
Ah yes some kids making harmless pictures is the same as political oppresors. You guys are so fucking cringe.
All i can say "magats" is a nice wordplay. Like combination of maga & rats, but at the same time it reads like "maggots". And maggots can be interpreted as removeds kremlin puppet parasite worms poisoning soil (land and it's inhabitants). Whoever came up with "magats" pun is clever enough 😁
P. S. Yes, it was that f-gg-word, which displays as "removed's" 🌚
Hate to be that guy:
Today, Zionism is often seen in a negative light, and “Zionist” is regularly used as an insult. A common misconception is that Zionism is the same as colonizing Palestinian territories. That is not correct: at its core, Zionism means the aspiration for a Jewish state. At the same time, there are indeed settlers in Israel who seize Palestinian land, and the war in Gaza is often viewed in this context. It is important to distinguish between these settlers and the broader meaning of Zionism.
https://www.annefrank.org/en/topics/antisemitism/are-all-jews-zionists/
that's a fun spin on the accepted historical context that zionism was started by nationalists who banded together to get the jews out of their own countries and dump them somewhere nobody cared about. rabbis of the time even rejected the idea.
Ok sure I'll bite. How do today's Zionists define said state? Does it include occupied Palestinian territories? Can you see how that might be an issue for the people who are being occupied?
This is like the "Civil War was fought about states' rights and not slavery" argument. Technically true I guess but states' rights to do WHAT exactly?
Don't blame the world for conflating Zionism with genocide, when a large enough portion of Israelis support genocide that people like Netanyahu and Smotrich are in positions of power and are publicly calling for genocide on an almost daily basis.
The genocidal maniacs could, you know, stop genociding and support a two state solution, then maybe the exact definition of Zionism wouldn't be a punchline for the angry goose meme.
Depends of the type of Zionism you ask. Post-Zionism wants a multi-ethnic democratic Israel, Cultural Zionism doesn't want a nation state at all and the contemporary Liberal Zionism is roughly in favor of a two state solution, so a sovereign Palestine state as well as equal rights for Arab citizen in Israel.
And yes I blame the world for conflating Zionism with the genocidal right-wing politics of the Israeli government because it's simply lazy and not true. There are many historical and contemporary types of Zionism and only Religious and Revisionist Zionism are what Israels government is currently pushing.
Then don't be that guy. You're quoting a Zionist source that is desperately trying to redefine Zionism in real time. Zionism is colonizing Palestinian land and building that joke of a country on top of it. Zionism is a colonization project.
(And no, all Jews are not Zionists, but the Zionists are very happy to try and conflate the two as much as possible.)
Easy, just call the Anne Frank house "Zionist" and devalue whatever the say.
Anne Frank is no longer alive and anyone using her name to give themselves unearned political legitimacy is a monster.
Are you kidding me? The Anne Frank House is a fucking museum in memory of Anne Frank. Your allegations are not only absolutely baseless, but an insult to Anne Franks legacy.
Museums aren’t typically in the business of current politics, but this one is.
Huh? Have you read the news in the last couple years?
Saying that museums aren't in the business of current politics is somewhat naive.
At a minimum, current politics is crashing into the museum's business every other week. Most obvious recent example is Trump vs the Smithsonian.
But it's by no means the only recent case of politicians trying their hand at historical revisionism, or making partisan issues out of science.
Of course museums are! Culture of Remembrance is a highly political field.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Remembrance
Stop blaming a museum in memory of a Jewish victim of the Holocaust.
Equating "the desire for a jewish colonial ethnostate in the middle east as part of and supported by a Christian nationalist attempt to fulfill misinterpreted prophecy about the end times" to "a people culturally connected to and practicing a 5000 year old Semitic religion" is antisemitism because it equates the brutalities of colonialism and genocide with Judaism as a whole and puts innocent Jewish people in harms way who have no desire to create a jewish colonial ethnostate.
What's about the Jewish people that have a desire to create a Jewish state that's not colonial and/or genocidal? Because those are Zionists too.
They need to accept something every other group of people realized long ago: when assholes steal your word, you need a new word, otherwise you'll be associated with assholes.
That's giving a lot of leverage to assholes.
Where? Mars?
There's already people everywhere, they can't just designate some patch of land and say "Jews only!" without either physically removing or exterminating the people already living there.
Jewish people have lived in the levante for literal centuries and were displaced as well. In recent history the part of land which is now Israel was under British mandate for the longest time. I don't want to say that Palestinians have no right to claim that land but Jewish people have at least an equivalent right to claim the same land. That's basically the whole conflict. Therefore we need a two state solution or a one state solution in the sense that Palestinians and Jewish people can peacefully live together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_and_Judaism_in_the_Land_of_Israel
The Muslims and Christians that live in Palestine are mostly descended from the Jews that lived in the Levant, it's not like literally everyone was expelled. There's a reason Israel doesn't require a DNA test to determine if someone is actually descended from people from the Levant, there's a reason Israel has some of the highest skin cancer rates in the world (on par with other white settler colonies like Australia), and there's a reason they pretended Palestine was "a land without a people for a people without a land."
They're white colonizers stealing land. They don't have any right to take it, they can either become Palestinian or go back to Europe.
There were people there, and they have a right to the land. Europeans can move there and join a single multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-religious democracy where Jews live with everyone else. They don't need to steal land from people already living there, they don't get to make a nation where Jews have special rights and everyone else is second class, they don't get to have apartheid.
Anyone who wants to create an ethnostate is de facto bigoted.
So Palestinians too? Or Kurds? What's with Tibetans?
You’re really telling on yourself by putting all 4 of these situations in the category of ethnostate.
Well how do you define the term "Ethnostate" and what do you think the Palestinian cause is in contrast to that?
You'd have a point if all the other examples you gesture to were also colonizing within the borders of other nations, the Kurds were explicitly screwed over by Sykes-Picot to purposefully set up the middle east for maximum civil unrest following the fall of the ottoman empire, likewise with Palestine, and Tibet is being invaded by Chinese colonists.
All other examples you've listed don't have a bunch of pasty white New Yorker saying "my ancestors lived here 3000 years ago" and kicking people out of their homes half a globe away.
"You know, a swastika can also be a symbol of peace in India" says the guy with the shaved head that is constantly defending Hitler.
Half your comments are mossad talking points. You are literally the bad kind of Zionist.
Zionism means the aspiration for a Jewish state.
Yeah that is before they got their state, how bout now? If that's what it is, why are they still colonising west bank and bombing gaza? This is like arguing for the white guy with a swastika, because they're 100% not use it as a buddhism/hinduism symbol.
That's because different types of Zionism define Israel differently. Those right wing maniacs like Netanyahu and Smotrich are Religious and Revisionist Zionists and want the racist ideal of a Greater Israel while other Zionists define the goal of a Jewish state as accomplished when Israel was first founded.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_Zionism
Considering those are the type of zionism that lead the state today, and many people within it believing it, its safe to say none of the other type really exists these day, and even if it were still here, it's very very few and far between to make any distinction.
Colonialism is the practice of extending and maintaining political, social, economic, and cultural domination over a territory and its people by another people in pursuit of interests defined in an often distant metropole, who also claim superiority.
There's enough people here with thoughtful rebuttals
All I have to add is fuck you, you deplorable genocide apologist
You're fucking scum
Well, guess what. The definition has changed and Zionist now means "people who like Israel killing children". That original definition is the old, inaccurate one now.
Because words are defined by how they're used, and when self identifying Zionists are using the new definition, and everyone else is using the new definition, your "technically that's incorrect" statement means nothing.
The meme is using the word Zionist to mean "people who like Israel killing children" and you, me, and everyone else knows it.
No, you can't just change the definition of a word because you're (rightfully so) angry. Especially not a word that's mostly defined by Jewish people.
Sorry but that's not how language works. Definitions change. You might be technically correct, but I'm this context, we know what Zionism means, and it's not what your said it is.
