@CatholicOrca Orthodox Jews are very much not atheists, but they do treat god like a hall monitor. This is in line with the Old Testament, which becomes even more restrictive as filtered through the Talmud. In my experience being raised in it, it’s the least spiritual of all major religions.

No, your feelings are not “valid.” • Feelings are often irrational. • Emotions don’t always reflect reality. • If your feelings are always “valid” then why bother examining them or yourself? • Instead of labelling them “valid” & demanding others agree: learn to manage them.

@Kelby73483649 @LPNH Such a wrong take. This post is actively contradicting the anti-Semitic narrative that Jews are trying to run and control society by showing prominent Jews in political theory who want the exact opposite.

@Cernovich @martyrmade Government funded needle exchanges and methadone clinics placed directly in the city locations with the highest real estate prices is indeed not real libertarianism. The problem in SF isn’t decriminalized drugs, it’s all the god awful government programs designed around it.

If you believe Zionism is the return of Jews to their ancestral homeland, you’re 100% wrong. In fact, there’s no historical evidence that the Jews were expelled from ancient Judea, but there is evidence that Judaism was for centuries a proselytizing religion that converted many

If you oppose wokeness, you ought to fully oppose Zionism. Zionism is by definition ethno-nationalist identity politics. It weaponizes victimhood culture for financial and social support. It believes like Ibram Kendi that “the only remedy for past discrimination is present

@JosephJakeKlein I have never seen so many accusations of "self hating Jew" in my life since Oct 7. I thought reasonable people decided no one got to appoint themselves representatives for an entire identity group. The whole "politically black" rhetoric of people like Nicole Hannah Jones... Now

@RichardHanania And Palestinians won’t forget Deir Yassin. Israeli Jews did the EXACT same thing back then. Both instances are evil and one doesn’t excuse another, but don’t talk like this is a uniquely Palestinian crime.

@CensoredMen I was raised Orthodox Jewish. Let me explain their thinking on their terms, and then why their thinking is harmful: Judaism is largely about organized around following religious law (halacha) perfectly. As god is omniscient, they do not see anything allowed by the law as a

@manscrewthisapp I believe in natural rights. These rights can be derived from the values that are evolutionary beneficial to our species by looking at our species’ nature. This is a major part of Ayn Rand’s project, but it’s not unique to her.

@seulgigroupie I’m sorry this happened to you at 11, that’s not right, but this shouldn’t be done to infants either except to resolve a medical condition. Please don’t advocate for that, infants can’t consent. This should only be done for consenting adults.

@brianstelter @loganclarkhall @brianstelter , do you really not see the connection between what @loganclarkhall posted and what you said? You personally may not be trying to take down statues, but your network is encouraging it via low quality reductive coverage of the topic. Not a very “reliable source”...

@DavidLBernstein I agree that making the assumption that a Jew would be disloyal simply because they’re a Jew alone is antisemitic. But I think you’re being over narrow in what you define as the “canard of dual-loyalty.” Most people talking about dual-loyalty most of the time are talking about

@jk_rowling @jk_rowling Ex-Jew turned atheist here who is not anti-Semitic. An antisemite may have wrote what you quoted, but he’s not wrong. Some consider Judaism an ethnicity, but it’s certainly not a race. The Nazis did think that, but I think we’d agree Nazis were generally wrong.

One of the underrated brilliances in Ayn Rand’s novels is how she depicts society’s downfall, in large part, as being the consequence of people saying what other people want them to say rather than being willing to face the social ostracism from saying what one knows to be true.

@wil_da_beast630 Most of the time no — when asked to define what they mean by that they explain whiteness as a postmodern category they want deconstructed — but it’s a really slippery slope and I think they know damn well why it’s such a provocative phrase.

@MarinaMedvin Anytime you see this truly evil charter it’s also worth remembering: - Hamas won the election with only 44%. - Exit polls showed overwhelming desire for Hamas to change their stance towards Israel. - Support for Hamas was primarily driven by the issue of corruption in the PA.

For the non-Jews out there who don’t understand this, this statement is frightening. Jews are commanded to kill all members of Amalek and their descendants. This is an indisputably genocidal statement.

@robbysoave Thank god Romney being nominated isn’t plausible so it won’t matter, but your argument is very wrong. As you note, Romney is more popular with Dems than Reps, but few Dems would actually flip while Rep turn out would be drastically suppressed.
