Leftists are extremely good at policing their own when it comes to stuff like mildly humanizing Israelis in a magazine article. They know how to instantly condemn and ostracize. They can't muster the same condemnation for frothing antisemites because they're not that bothered.

@Bad_bureaucrat Moi quand je suis l'enfant de la revolution: « ohohohoh c'est super » Moi quand la revolution commence à dévorer ses enfants: « sacré bleu, c'est merde »

Jewish people will really be like "on all other nights we eat sitting or reclining, on this night we all recline" and then not recline

hahahahahahaha RIP BOZO

If I was fighting a civil war against nazis I would rather have democratic legitimacy and as much of the machinery of the state on my side and not on the side of the nazis, but what do I know, I'm not an edgy twitter poaster, I just have more than two working brain cells

@pschofie79 @LittleMammith Isn't it pretty much the same as Erasmus explaining the possibility of free will considering God's foreknowledge of all things with the analogy that the astronomer can calculate in advance the exact date of an eclipse but he doesn't cause the eclipse?

As everyone in philosophy is pointing out, this is wrong. But I find it interesting that the sort of compatibilist view Dennett and so many philosophers favor is so counterintuitive to the general public that they often can’t even comprehend it.

@ASPertierra Does an 'Oriental Despotism mode' involve squatting into a prostrated position? That must be a killer

Decided that while I’m here I should see if I can find old copies of the textbook for Physical Education Bachelors degrees that break down phys ed according to classical Marxist Modes of Production ‘Ancient mode: physical education was mostly done by slaves’

אני חייב ממה שלקחו החברה באגד שהחליטו לעשות את הפרסומת הזו

@PYMundGenealogy Exactly, my point is that it is healthy to cringe when you say "shpoch chamtcha", but one should say it nonetheless

@PYMundGenealogy Are there parts of the Jewish tradition that are, as the kids say, "problematic"? Of course, but there is nothing less Jewish than trying to purge the problematic away instead of acknowledging the difficulties and contradictions in one's beliefs and traditions

@arash_tehran The word "דרדל'ה" is most commonly used for weak kicks at the goal in football, finding it at the center of global geopolitical discussion is hilarious

Ben Gvir’s one word tweet calling the attack on Iran “feeble” made it to the front page of IRGC’s main outlet! I have to say I didn’t expect this much Hebrew-Persian exchange as we have been having!

The wicked son what does he say? "What is this service to you?" To you, and not to him. And since he sets himself apart from the community he denies the fundamentals. And you must blunt his teeth and tell him "For me" and not for him; were he there he would not have been redeemed

@arash_tehran Peru has a literal indigenous nazi party, and there is no reason to infantilize them by assuming that they don't really understand what they advocate for and that their fascism is in any sense less 'organic' than European fascism

Outside the Americas and the Antipode, the 'Indigeneity discourse' is often uncomfortably close to blood and land fascism -- and even inside the Americans, it can be so as you see

@_glorianas Yes because I read The Three Musketeers, it's a main plot point

Thesis: Ashkenazis are of Levantine origins Antithesis: Ashkenazis are Khazars Synthesis: The Khazars were the original inhabitants of the Levant

@KarnesMellagio no way you're as good at Ancient Greek as Enoch Powell was

@yungneocon Pleny of lefty/lib grifters but they usually just do it for online attention, the money is in the right wing grift

@shlumpsters idk if this is too mean, but I have yet to have heard of a single person who identifies as an Arab-Jew and doesn't base their career and livelihood on their identity as an Arab-Jew

"average Byzantine was Hitlerian" is just a statistical error. average Byzantine committed 0 pogroms per year. Nikon the Metanoeite, who lived in Hitleropolis and committed over 10,000 pogroms each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

@evilrobertmoses But note that this relationship between the Old and New Testaments has been explicitly in those terms in Christian exegesis since the beginning, and in some way can already be found in the NT itself. Auerbach's contribution was to notice its importance for lit. more broadly
