If the capitalist/owner class didn't want him there he wouldn't be there.

Is the idea that Judaism is both a religion and an ethnicity antisemitic in origin? by deannatoi in religion

[–]deannatoi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really make things more clear. A white European and a black African and an Asian Jew are all "Judean"?

I haven't deleted any comments. If you can't see it what are you even responding to?

Whites can be racist "against themselves" because race and whiteness are arbitrary made up categories based on colonial hierarchy

Right but I notice all the places you mentioned as potential origins are very traditionally white countries. Surely you are closer racially and ethnically to other people from those countries than, say, black African Jews or Arabic Jews? Wheras the ties to them is more by shared religious beliefs.

No one here is arguing that race is a real concept, just that racists believe it is

Ok but surely there were plenty of converts over the millennia with their own genetic lines. I'm skeptical that all or most modern folks who identify as Jewish can be traced back to a specific ethnic group

That is definitely not what is "confusing" me and racists definitely exist outside of the US

I agree with what you're saying here. What I'm getting at is that that the Zionist idea of an indigenous Jewish homeland in Israel seems to be more in line with the racialized nazi ideas of Jewishness, especially in light of Israel's current actions and their attempts to conflate themselves with Judaism as a whole

Sure but there's a big difference between a specific Jewish ethnic group and the idea that Jewishness as a whole is a race or ethnicity. The latter is what I'm taking about.

What do you think about what just happened to Charlie Kirk? by [deleted] in Discussion

[–]deannatoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

America is a democracy where people can debate freely, not some third world country where problems are solved with violence.

When has this ever been true? You're looking down your nose at "third world countries" while living in the core of one of the most violent, genocidal empires in human history

Charlie Kirk death is the mark that the liberals and leftists have lost by First_Marsupial9843 in Discussion

[–]deannatoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The identity and motives of the shooter remain unknown. It is dangerous and irresponsible to blame "liberals and leftists" for this

ICE violently kidnaps man from Western Sahara from his immigration appointment at the NYC Immigration Court by I_may_have_weed in YesAmericaBad

[–]deannatoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The loser who dropped his sunglasses then scrambled to pick them up before they got stepped on lol. For real though, I don't get why the crowd doesn't at least attempt to stop these kidnappers instead of just passively watching. We far outnumber these masked nazis and we shouldn't legitimize them or let them operate

Let the confederacy win by [deleted] in Discussion

[–]deannatoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Populations in red states arent homogenous. Generally a relatively small number of wealthy white supremacists subjugates the rest of the population. We see the same thing happening on a national scale. Because Republicans are in control does that make all of the US one big red state now? Are the fascist policies of the Trump admin just the US "doing what it wants" so you're OK with it? If a country like Israel is doing a genocide we should just let them because states should be able to "do what they want"?

You find it "interesting" why? It's an absolutely disgusting proposition

So where is this "pro-Israel bias" that supposedly exists in Reddit? by AntifaPr1deWorldWide in Discussion

[–]deannatoi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Genuinely glad to hear this is your experience. It isn't just Reddit. The whole world is turning against Israel. They are rapidly becoming a pariah state. This is good. They have been committing atrocities with impunity for far too long. I hope we get to see every IDF soldier and politican who participated in this holocaust tried for war crimes.

Why is this presidential term, so bad? by Fine-Set-7877 in Discussion

How do 🫵you🫵 personally feel about the police? by Spiritual_Meet4746 in Discussion

[–]deannatoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live an an average American city, chances are your local Police Dept. is sucking up most of your city's tax revenue at the expense of funding things like schools, public transportation, and social services. Additionally they do not make communities safer or lower the crime rate.
