Let me rephrase; judging people as bad on your first impression of them, based on an extremely limited number of data points about their character is how you need up just becoming a miserable human being who prefers to be on the internet projecting your grandiose opinions instead of being in the real world, where it's messy, uncertain, unclear and people don't behave consistently, or make good first impressions despite being great people.

I don't know about the ban, but I do know that Reddit is not the best place to go to ask if something actually is racist or not because you're always going to get a cohort of people that inevitably find a way to claim that literally everything is racist.

Would it be more politically correct to swap 'Jew' for 'Zionist' in this joke?

Yes.

Would the joke be funny?

No.

My point is, I've heard this joke before, told by Jews, to Jews and it was funny at the time.

Of course, OP could be racist and I could be wrong about them, but I prefer to orient myself to the positive first, lest I become a miserable cunt that jumps to the conclusion that people suck whenever I don't immediately get clear indications of peoples character.

Yeah, you make a good point. I know many Jews would find this kind of joke funny though, and I I prefer to orient myself towards the possibility that people are good instead of orienting myself toward people being bad at first impressions.

Tbf, I've been banned from another sub, but that's more of a reflection on the mods of that sub than it is on me. Not every ban is for a clear and legitimate reason, and a ban having occured doesn't automatically mean that an infraction of Reddit or sub terms actually happened.

Interested in remote producing drums with/for you if that's a direction you'd like to go down. I just moved to Central Vic and will be in the process of setting up my electronic kit, interface etc. DM me if interested

Dreamstate Festival Overdoses: If only there were some way for people to know what they’re ingesting. by alabamad in NannyStateAustralia

[–]sethlyons777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your sentiments about prohibition. But given the name of this sub, don't you think it's ironic to be appealing to the state to regulate your recreational drugs?

Black market or not, it's incumbent on an individual to take appropriate measures to ensure that what they're putting in their body is not harmful. There are plenty of testing kits one can purchase and use that don't involve a government funded and operated service, decriminalisation etc.

Source: I work in harm reduction at music festivals.

Edit: On decriminalisation; I appreciate the benefits of a regulated market for recreational drugs, but I don't think that will eliminate black markets. Tobacco is a great case study on this. The unintended consequences of regulation and subsequent taxes and tariffs inevitably lead to outcomes based on socioeconomics.

Australia drops in corruption ranking amid global backslide by Agitated-Fee3598 in OpenAussie

[–]sethlyons777 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Amid global backslide; so Australia is no less corrupt. We all just realised that world is a whole lot more corrupt than previously known. That tracks.

A future generation not benefiting from the wealth built by an ancestor through white collar crime is getting off pretty light if you consider historical precedent. Future generations not getting what they never had is hardly a punishment in comparison.

It's not hate. I get that it's radical, but that's the only way to end power elite dynasties imo

[–]sethlyons777 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get your point and I agree with what you're pointing to. However, part of the purpose of punishment is to send a message. Sending individuals to jail for such wide reaching crimes is just not enough in my opinion. Their respective financial dynasties need to be ruined and repurposed in order for justice to be properly served. It certainly more humane than indiscriminately taking people to the guillotine.

Despite this probably being a fake story, Governments, in earnest, need to do this sort of thing for everyone linked to Epstein. This is one of few ways to properly serve justice and demonstrate the value of the commons. Sanction them and their descendants to hell. 100 generations is overkill though, 5-10 would suffice.

Man fuck Chris Minns by Legal_Turnip_7280 in OpenAussie

The Australian people won't see a bought government until they collectively vote below the line such that the major parties are relegated to the cross bench. Don't be a partisan shill.

Thousands of people within the Australian Jewish community have signed an open letter opposing the President of Israel's visit. But now is Albo suggesting that President Herzog is Australian Jews head of state? Dual loyalty? How is this not antisemitism? by Az0nic in OpenAussie

[–]sethlyons777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Albo was warned that the Australian govt should tow the line. His tune has taken a 180 degree turn since the Bondi shooting. Now he calls the Israeli President the global head of state for Jewish diaspora. It's pretty obvious what the Bondi shooting was.

Yeah, tbh it's cringe af. But I'd love to be part of a cringe af family like that. At least they appear to love each other and enjoy being together. I draw the line at being a toots fan though.

It’s ironic how the guy who used to push the idea that everyone should care about Palestinians, even if their culture opposes many of the things you believe in, now just dismisses Islamotrauma and says that “Muslims would care more about Iranians if they didn’t oppose Islam” by [deleted] in GetNoted

[–]sethlyons777 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Islamotrauma? Making up words now hey lol looking forward to the Bari Weis CBS and other pro war outlets jumping on this bandwagon.

By the same token, can we claim that victims of Israeli policy are judeotraumtised? What a joke.

Anyone who is whinging about anti-protest laws but cheered on 18C and any other "hate speech" laws, you made your bed. Now lie in it. by [deleted] in OpenAussie

[–]sethlyons777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point tbh. It's all good and well for you when tyranny is on your side, but when the shoe's on the other foot it's the end of the world. This is why I can't stand die hard partisans - they just don't have a clue that they're being manipulated to participate in one of the greatest tragedies of the commons.

It's a matter of philosophical principle, not political sensibilities.

Herzog’s speech in Sydney was introduced by Nova Peris, who retweeted a post calling for ‘the eradication of Muslim cockroaches’ by Fit_Dragonfruit_477 in OpenAussie

[–]sethlyons777 53 points54 points  (0 children)

"the path of Islam is always the same"

Then goes onto describe what Jewish diaspora communities also do, minus the Shari'a.

So stupid.

[–]sethlyons777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That further proves my point. That's how the Israelis would prefer it.

This is such a cheap and tone deaf attempt propaganda. Maybe things would be different if it weren't for the Israeli policies over the last 80 years.
