This is a difficult question to answer. Antisemitism might be the one issue, the only one, regarding marginalisation, that people don’t necessarily need more awareness of. I think we’re all pretty aware to the extent to which we can help, and the extent to which it’s gonna happen whether or not we do anything.

Those ads I see (in Kentucky) entangle Zionism with Judaism too tightly, the ‘increased awareness’ smells like a radio show my family used to listen to called “focus on the family”. every Sunday there was story time, and the lesson of the story was usually “damn, if only these soft-hearted parents would learn that is okay to hit your kids, and is actually evidence that you love them with the REAL love.” These ads have the same vibe, because evangelicals are making them, too.

If you want people to stop thinking conspiratorially then for gods sake call out obvious propaganda, you need an amount of nuance most apolitical people aren’t willing to engage with in order to understand that it isn’t necessarily 'the Jews" making all this pro-Zionist propaganda and shaming you for disagreeing with it.

this is a shit take I’m sure, what do i know, but if there are enough Jewish anti-Zionists in the world to do this, you are going to need to end your toxic relationship with evangelicals, they are stalking you. get the cultural equivalent of a restraining order (me asking you to employ a tool that probably doesn’t exist)

sorry for the rant

you are called a Democrat, shouldn’t you believe in some sort of inherent sacredness of popularity? why champion the verifiably least popular known Democrat?

the truth machine made me realize that i never have to lie again

tales of symphonia taught me that trusting everyone you meet is not as stupid a decision as it looks

and simulacra and simulation taught me that no one needs to lie in order to fool you

lots of learning about what it means to tell the truth
