Had a dream that I met some aliens again but this time the plot was that aliens are TERRIFIED of us. Basically the entire universe had this unspoken rule that they do not go near humans and pray we never come to them. And every signal must be ignored. Dark forest is kind of real, but we are seen as the darkness in the forest and no one else is. Because are just that fucking strange.
Apparently life wasn’t uncommon but intelligent life was and aliens had this fearful spiritual reverence for humans, akin to seeing us as children of beings from other universes. They believed fully that humans are the only species in existence to have been contacted and maintained communication with beings from other dimensions (angels, demons, etc). The greatest fear is that despite our civilization being technologically very young we make up for it with the powerful spiritual abilities that we possess as a species. And if humans knew the secrets of the universe we could basically bend reality to our will and reshape existence itself.
Of course after that long tangent of being explained that by an alien I asked them what makes humans so scary even without that power.
This dude opened YouTube and showed me YouTube poops
My fellow Americans, today may be a good day to take a bit of a step outside of the American political bubble to pay attention to an ongoing crisis that's happening to our UK friends.
A series of riots led by fascists that seems to be rapidly descending into pogroms against immigrants and asylum seekers is happening as we speak in the UK. The situation there seems to be rapidly escalating. Check on your UK friends and mutuals.
hey by the way did you know that in 2016 a key tactic that troll farms used to sway the american election was to actively convince leftists and progressives (ESPECIALLY LEFTIST MINORITIES) on social media to not vote or vote third party.
of all the things to be suspicious of, be EXTREMELY suspicious of the people saying that shit on here or anywhere on social media
I enjoy when people online actually commit to deescalating, apologizing when they misread something, and refuse to double down. The fediverse may have its issues but it’s one of the few places online where I’ve had that happen consistently
You can criticize Israel and its current far right fascist leaning government without invoking nazism or the holocaust. The trauma and pain of the holocaust is still present and your comparisons only serve to maliciously pour salt in wounds we have only begun to heal from.
Jews do it all the time. The word fascist is literally right in the name.
Why are you people on here so obsessed with comparing what’s going on Israel and Palestine to the holocaust or nazism whilst actively ignoring the Jewish leftists on here who tell that you’re fucking harming us? Is it really that difficult for you to actually to listen to Jews for once in your life?
The holocaust and nazism are not the sole representation of human evil. There are other comparisons you can make if you really need to do that.
You claim to say you would punch a nazi and defend Jews, but you’re giving antisemites the red carpet and alienating Jewish leftists from your conversations here.
@puppygirlhornypost@transfem.social nazis weren’t these cartoonishly evil villains either and I feel like people have that perception and disconnect to it lmao
Antisemites more often than not try to force Jews to prove reality to them in a public setting. It is an ancient tradition, and is not unique to Nazis. And they never come to an argument in good faith.
There is no sense or reasoning with an antisemite. They are not there in good faith. They know what they are saying in most cases is absolutely fucking nonsense and they just don't care. When they request a debate, they want to spread their hatred to others and intentionally inflict trauma upon Jews. It is a means of power, and the only way to win their game is by not engaging and explicitly removing their platform.
You can have a Nintendo switch and be disabled and or low income. You can have a cell phone and be disabled and or low income. You can have hobbies. Humans need to do things beyond basic survival to maintain their daily lives and mental wellbeing. judging people for using what little they may have to spare on things to maintain their happiness isn’t your business.
Underneath this post I will make a thread going into detail about things I wish more non-Jews knew about antisemitism (with relevant content warnings.) This thread is intended to serve as a non-definitive primer for antisemitism for those curious, as well as trying to highlight specific aspects about antisemitism that some might not know about. Please be advised the topics below will be extremely serious and potentially upsetting, and will be content warned as such.
I made a post similar a bit ago on Yom Hashoah highlighting things I wish more non-Jews knew about the holocaust and since that was received well I figured it would be worth it to do so the same with antisemitism in general.
