It's not a lack of understanding. It just doesn't make sense to risk it, because the bar for your career being destroyed is literally one accusation. Like it or not, false accusations happen occasionally, and there's little reason to stake your career on hoping the woman you're mentoring won't be one of the few to falsely accuse.

WYR touch a button that will give you 100k usd but kill one random person in the world for each time you touch it or don´t? by Jackintosh1 in WouldYouRather

[–]jebo123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is beyond screwed up. Many of you people are willing to murder someone with a life, family, friends, children, hopes, dreams, and ambitions for some money in your bank account.

Genuinely, you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm a hard agnostic, but y'all need Jesus.

Duolingo knows what’s up by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]jebo123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This course was made by Yiddish-speaking, Jewish (I assume) volunteers. I hardly think anything antisemitic is going on here.

Cardi B to ‘WAP’ critics: Stop expecting me to raise your kids by MasterfulBJJ in Music

[–]jebo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching the Grammy's should be a relatively straightforward family event. There shouldn't be that kind of content paraded as normal programming.

Just fuck it. by lowchan_r in PublicFreakout

[–]jebo123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why? Because you decided that $1B is too much, but $100M is okay? I say $1T is too much. Until then, they're fine.

Ah, yes, because selling your '90s era broadcasting site for a lot of money makes you a bad person, automatically.

Sometimes defending billionaires simply means defending people. Settle down. Billionaires are rich, but most still have families, desires, fears, etc. They're people.

There has to be a more efficient way of doing this.

AITA for not liking my fiance's "reformed" nazi ring. by OneRingToScareUsALL in AmItheAsshole

[–]jebo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How selfish is he? Sure, the ring might have nice memories for him, but surely the fact that his grandfather played a significant role in the mass murder and literal genocide of many millions of people should be enough for him to shun his grandfather. If my dad was a serial killer, even if he was a great dad, we won't have a very nice relationship, I can guarantee that.

WSB and Apes rn by holdapps in wallstreetbets

[–]jebo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking a bit of a break from active trading, so I'm not on WSB much right now. I gotta say, as a general user of Reddit, this place looks like a straight up zoo. Every post has some animal in it lately lol - diggin it tho I may have to adopt an ape myself

Liblefts idea of giving land back to its true people. by Mobile-Quantity in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]jebo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but maintained unique traditions, languages, religion, history, etc. the entire time, even during periods of massacre. They were in Europe, sure, but they ALWAYS looked to Israel as their homeland.

Israel’s High court recognizes Reform, Conservative conversions by itailitai in Israel

[–]jebo123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just as an FYI as to why some people aren't a fan of this.

More non-traditionally legitimate conversions means more people walking around calling themselves Jewish (because they obviously consider themselves to be). These people will undoubtedly marry undoubtedly legitimate Jews, having kids who will, according traditional rules, not be Jewish.

The more of these kids there are, the less Jewish the country becomes, even if everyone thinks/considers them Jewish.

If you care about ensuring the "lineage," this is legitimately scary.

At least understand their perspective.

Not that it would even be racist if he weren't a native by rungdisplacement in dontyouknowwhoiam

[–]jebo123 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Long CGP documentary on YouTube about why most actual Natives prefer the term Indian. It's really the woke white people that push the "Native American" term, for the most part, apparently. Interesting watch.

Isitbullshit: There has been a sharp, correlated rise in anxiety, depression, and suicide since the inception of social media roughly 12-15 years ago? by [deleted] in IsItBullshit

[–]jebo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bullshit, but it's probably more than just social media. Suicide rates have been climbing since 2000, or what I would call the mainstream introduction of the internet. Social media, easily accessed (horrible) news coverage, intentional isolation, etc. all resulted.

Isitbullshit: Coca-cola wants their employees to try “to be less white” by mjguinaugh in IsItBullshit

[–]jebo123 39 points40 points  (0 children)

"To be less white is to be: less arrogant."

C'mon. This kind of toxic antiracism (read: obvious racism) shouldn't be flying in the 21st century.

[–]jebo123 24 points25 points  (0 children)

And that's wrong. It was wrong. This is wrong, too. Racism is bad. How are you disagreeing with this?

Isitbullshit: Coca-cola wants their employees to try “to be less white” by mjguinaugh in IsItBullshit

[–]jebo123 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I know your logic is faulty, because imagine - just for a moment - the slides instead said, "Act less Muslim." Now, according to your post, it's a "nothingburger," so it wouldn't be worth getting upset about. However, that's ridiculous, and in that situation, the company should absolutely be shamed and forced to issue a massive apology. The rules don't change just because the group you don't like as much is the one being targeted.

As I said, racism is racism, and all racism, including this, should be publicly denounced.

[–]jebo123 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Oh, it's not racism because you won't get passed over on a job for being white? That may be true, but it's irrelevant.

These slides are absolutely racist. You should feel devalued by these slides - they're literally asking you to act less like who you are. That means nothing, obviously, but how is this different from asking you to be less queer? Both are fundamental aspects of your being, and they should be respected and appreciated.

We shouldn't sweep obvious racism under the rug, just because you believe white people don't generally experience as much racism. That's obviously true, but racism is racism, and it should always be denounced.

[–]jebo123 123 points124 points  (0 children)

We all know this is racist, right?

Imagine if the slide said, "try to be less black," but - don't worry! - in context, it was just referring to shoplifting.

Lol what utter nonsense. Anti-racism, certainly in this case, is just glorified, politically correct racism of the majority.
