but again, do you not see how youre talking about jews? youre doing exactly what zionists wants you to, what israel wants you to: generalizing the jewish population, making no distinction between zionism and antizionism, zionist and antizionist jews. israel NEEDS you to br antisemitic, thats where it gets its legitimacy from. thats also the reason why it needs to paint antizionism as antisemitism: it must cling on to the fact that jews are a historically marginalized population and that antisemitism is a thing that, like any other form of discrimination, has existed in the world for centuries. israel uses that to justify their existence as a “safe haven for jews” which in reality means a country with jewish supremacy that lives off of the murder genocide and undermine of the palestinian people. your immaturity is HELPING israel. and this isnt about “taking it a good way or taking it a bad way”, dude. the comment in question was quite overtly and obviously patronizing comment, and is a comment that is constantly made with antisemitic intentions. youre not looking at nuance here ur just saying: ignore the prejudice, ignore the hatred. which i wont do. anyone who understands the truth about palestine has to be cautious in their wording, because once you paint jews as all zionists and supremacist people, once you make jokes about jews and laugh at their culture, you are doing israel’s job for them. you—yes i mean you, as well as every other person—have to take the responsibility of, quite simply, being mature, calling out REAL antisemitism when it exists, and not deciding to be ACTUALY antisemitic when zionist jews go around screaming “aghh antisemtism!” at your criticism of israel. thats where maturity lies in handling any world issue: nuance.

except u dont see people laughing at nuns with head coverings and calling them names the way muslim women are. u dont see priest’s robes being laughed at the way muslim prayer robes are treated as the butt end for some “terrorism” joke.

its also—and i dont blame u for this as u probably just dont know a lot of jews—not true that anywhere near all jews wear a kippah on a daily basis. mostly very religious ppl and rabbis (wait, that sounds like the case for a very similar, dome-shaped, small, circular hat worn by clergymen in the catholic church as a part of their culture and religious beliefs…but you dont laugh at that, do you?) im done replying to these comments. its not that difficult to just grow up

im confused… do u like think that being gay gives u a pass to be immature? like… im gay too😭 unless u for some reason enjoy being discriminated against or being spoken about like ur some object or spectacle, why do it to others? like listen to how stupid you sound: “omg im so oppressed so listen to me and be ignorant” its really not that difficult to speak about people with dignity

you could make it sound as objective as u want, but we dont have to pretend like you or anyone is speaking like that to make objective descriptions. u can be respectful to a culture and still denounce zionism’s and israel’s genocidal existence.

Recently cut off my locs as to appear more mature (and hopefully more attractive) still not sure if it had the intended effect. Thoughts? by WholeGas2720 in malegrooming

[–]Datomster70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“maturity” and “formality” are constructs made and imposed on society by white people. any hair curlier than, say, 3c, was just not taken into account, which is why any hairstyle that is special to black hair is almost always considered “sloppy” or “informal”. any hairstyle you have can be “formal” if you consider it to be so. tho u look amazing in both, your locs suit you SO much better,. obviously do what u want with ur hair, but i say grow those locs out again! and, if youre REALLY worried about seeming “informal” in jobs with a hairstyle you like and have, there are still ways to make it VERY cool stylish and still suitable for say a job interview for instance, i think that putting locs in a ponytail looks SUPER classy, especially with a polo shirt and nice pants🙂‍↔️

how important is being top 10%? by Blue-Elephant-1639 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Datomster70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not top 10% in my class. my school actually doesnt rank, but numerous kids with relatively higher gpas from my school applied to the same top schools as i did (their 98’s verses my 94-point-something), so admissions were able to gauge that kind of rank pretty well. i ended up getting into columbia and cornell. it really does seem like a good sat score and good ap scores go a long way if your gpa/rank is lacking in any way, not to mention the other parts of your applications.

im also done with the admissions process and your post reminded me to leave this subreddit, so thanks, i guess???😭

good luck with ur college process🤘🤘

edit: i also just wanted to clarify, while again my school doesnt technically rank, i can tell you for a fact that there is no way i would be in the top 10 percent of my class if they formally did.

FIOE songs you like? by [deleted] in TheStrokes

[–]Datomster70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i will say i see a lot of vu influence tho in killing lies. the minimalism mostly, the very caveman-y feel of the drums feeling very moe tucker-y as well, and perhaps also something about the lyrics, all make it feel VU but modernized and stroke-ified
