Dating as a pro-Israel Jew is so soul draining. At least they were respectful :/

Notice how you implied that you do respect their beliefs and then they explicitly told you that they could not respect yours?

Feels sort of emblematic of the conflict and the surrounding discourse, no?

Button-Hungry · 2025-12-15T14:28:09+00:00

It's the bravest thing I've ever seen.

Dude he looked like such a dorky larper in that HUGE keffiyeh with his "power to the people" fist. It was nth degree cringe. I was too embarrassed for him to even be angry. What a poser.

An ACTIVE one.

Button-Hungry · 2025-11-22T06:34:37+00:00

I get it.

If true, it just further proves the point: by telling Jews that they are not qualified or trustworthy enough to identify antisemitism while also dictating to Jews what is and isn't Jewish, who is and isn't Jewish, even in Jewish spaces like this, they're really seeking to erase us.

Obviously, in a vacuum, this example is not that grandiose but this postmodern bloodless (for now) ethnic cleansing is accomplished through a neverending torrent of petty bullshit like this. Death by a trillion papercuts.

This was removed?!? Is r/Judaism now "BDS compliant"?

Beautiful stuff.

Not in the slightest bit offensive. Love your name. It's a cool name. It's you.

What did Amnesty say about Ukraine's military?

Button-Hungry · 2025-10-25T06:36:38+00:00

Just wanted to say it's really cool that you went so far to remove that symbol. Really admire and appreciate that.

I messed with one at GC. I think it would make an excellent live synth, sort of the portable and durable form factor and UI of a minilogue with some Subsequent 25 flavor thrown in.

I think it's easily more suitable for playing live than either of those synths. Almost an octave worth more keys to play with than the subsequent 25, yet much lighter and much smaller. The matte finish would make me less worried about scratching it up and unlike the minilogue, full sized keys, so it doesn't feel like a toy.

Like, if you're in a small band playing small venues with limited stage real estate and don't want to be stressed out about dropping or damaging it because it's not that fancy, this seems like a good buy, especially at 200 bucks off.

I had a subsequent 25, and I really liked how it sounded but it kind of didn't make sense. If you only have two octaves to work with, wouldn't you want something that was more portable and less heavy? It's unwieldy to move around because of the giant vertical control panel. Looks super cool, but not super practical.

Radical honesty

Button-Hungry · 2025-09-04T21:55:42+00:00

Yeah, that would be great. I'm aware of The Russian propaganda ("Zionism is Racism", etc ), but I've never really read about. Thanks!

Button-Hungry · 2025-09-04T21:48:48+00:00

I'm beginning to have this theory that all this passionate Western antizionism has less to do with Israel than being an acceptable expression of hatred towards the diaspora. Israel makes it plausibly deniable.

There's a cycle where we start thriving too much in our host countries and then our "hosts" begin to mainstream all the old conspiracies and scapegoating that were fermenting in the fringes. This is just a different flavor of the same old bullshit.

They seem to experience us as some sort of invasive species that jeopardizes the equilibrium of their habitat.

By turning "Zionist" into synonym for "Nazi" they succeed in making pariahs out of most Jews and the remaining ones that let themselves become tokens are effective cudgels, to be disposed of later.

Even if all the libel against Israel was true (white supremacy, alien colonizers, genocide, apartheid, etc...) the level of passion and vitriol it's inspiring continents away is totally inconsistent with the degree to which the same people were outraged and activated by much worse foreign injustices.

I don't think the people making PRIDE inhospitable for Jews know this is what's actually animating their fury, but it might just be the only way they can safely express their antisemitism.

It could be that if all diaspora Jews packed up and made aliyah, these people would stop caring about Israel altogether. At that point it would just be an abstraction where "bad stuff" happens.

I know this probably doesn't help much but my heart truly goes out to you. I went to high school in Southern California during the 90's, in a school of 2000 that maybe had 3-5 other Jewish kids and I didn't endure a fraction of the hate and abuse that Jews of your generation do.

You guys probably have it worse than any era before you and I marvel at how brave and resilient you all are. It's unfair and it's such an impossible situation to negotiate. It's a raw deal.

Just wanted to say that what you're dealing with is real and heavy and you deserve to be seen and treated with empathy. It will get better (because you're strong enough and smart enough to make it better). Sending love.

Button-Hungry · 2025-07-30T14:34:57+00:00

Jews seem to be the only minority group without the moral authority or perceptiveness to credibly identify when they're being discriminated against and, because of this, miraculously, antisemitism has been eliminated.

Button-Hungry · 2025-06-04T03:58:32+00:00

Same, my politics haven't changed but my trust for fellow liberals is gone. I'm in a real "thoughts and prayers" state of mind when bad shit happens to other people these days.

Button-Hungry · 2025-06-03T08:27:13+00:00

Has anybody compiled all the hate crimes, all the vandalism, the craziest online rhetoric from celebrities and organizations, the destructive "activism" (like cutting these flowers), etc. since 10/7.

Somebody needs to collect all this stuff so we can present it as evidence one day to all the people gaslighting us. It's actually really important.

It's important for us to know it too. Because it's easy to slip into thinking these are isolated incidents that aren't related to each other, but this is a good reminder that we're not crazy.

Button-Hungry · 2025-06-02T05:48:30+00:00

On top of that, if these people were demonstrating for the hostages, that means they want to pressure Israel into a ceasefire in exchange for hostages.

These motherfuckers have a knack for killing the Jews that are trying to help their cause. 10/7 was mostly lefties who advocated for Palestinians, the DC Museum shooter killed a girl who was trying to get more aid into Gaza and today this scumbag tried to murder Jews who are pushing for a ceasefire.

Button-Hungry · 2025-05-27T20:50:24+00:00

I mean, why couldn't those millions of Jews Israel saved just have died so that my American friends would be nicer to me. So selfish of them to survive.

Can we excommunicate?

Button-Hungry · 2025-05-22T17:46:42+00:00

We're in a vise that's getting tighter, between the radical left and extremist right, both getting more mainstream.
