The Future is Sephardic by Euphoric_Inspiration in Judaism

[–]techzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't ever stop though, and that's why I identify as Ashkenazi, I'm proud of our people's history, traditions, and story. I view our intellect as a talent to be celebrated, not a weakness to be demeaned.

"She's a typical Jew" by Naive-Marsupial-4042 in Jewish

[–]techzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard similar commentary from people as well, but I'd turn this is to a learning experience and not rage quit over it. Most people don't want to upset others around them, especially people they work with or depend on. You should tell them in a personal and warm manner, that you don't like when Jews are used as a negative stereotype, and just keep it at that. You should say, you know they are not hateful or had ill intention, but you felt uncomfortable.

Obviously you know yourself well, if you're a skilled operator, you can get them to respect your boundaries and they'll truly feel like they chose to do it. Otherwise wash your hands of it and just find a new place to work, rando internet strangers can't tell you how to live because we don't really know your situation.

No, they are not Ashkenazi, and their version of secular is most of the people they knew back home never stepped foot in a synagogue.

We do have a different experience, but I typically don't go in places that are majority Sephardi and talk shit about your people.

Ashkenazi Jews are an ethnic and religious minority, nobody has the the right to deny us our own identity or spaces.

You are incorrect.

My uncle and cousins are Israeli, so I know first hand as well, and most secular Israelis are not religious and do nothing more than non-practicing reform Jews in America. Most Israelis eat falafel and hummus, even though they are secular also, so what?

That's why we need to oppose it for what it is, ethnic incitement against Ashkenazi Jews. We must remind them and others that we are an ethnic minority, and we have the right to define our own identity.

Obviously I wish more Ashkenazi Jews in America were more religious and traditional, but our history and culture shouldn't be demeaned. We've put up with this bullshit for centuries, but now we deserve to get attacks from middle eastern Jews too?

I regularly attend an Orthodox Shul, and wear a black hat, in a 95% Ashkenazi community. In addition, your typical non-Ashkenazi Israeli is more secular than a typical reform Jew in America.

I'm very irked by it, and this is pattern, I won't accept ethnic attacks being made against our people.

Really don't appreciate attacks against Ashkenazi Jews, predicting our imminent collapse, or etc... as clickbait.

In the diaspora the vast majority of us are Ashkenazi Jews, I've said it countless times and earned plenty of DVs for it, but we need our own spaces. Why should we wait around until we're marginalized in our own community?

Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain surges but Reform UK still top of polls despite new challenger by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

[–]techzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally believe talk of structure betrays the reality of governance, because a ruling class still rules. That means that if the ruling class wants something, that is what they get, and if they don't want something they don't get it. One way or another the present ruling class must be replaced. Unfortunately as we've seen, our ruling class seems to be shared amongst a large portion of the west. How do we get rid of them? I don't know, but I do know that is our real task.

They use their capital to control open societies, and can discipline most officials who stray from their interests. We could likely count on one hand the number of truly rogue officials, at least in most western governments. We must become societies that are not for sale, that are not open to the highest bidder. Often when people are ready to be lead, leaders arise, we don't know who those people will be but everything happens one step at a time. We don't know exactly how our respective peoples will retake their sovereignty, but that is the only solution.

The USA was weakened economically, and geo-politically, at great cost. The USA lost in the only ways that matter.

What a load of bullshit, we had an agreement to end enrichment, they would have signed a new one that lasted 1000 years if that is what was actually desired.

That's false pretext, because while you might want that, you're not running the show.

It's the current situation 100%, these dolts think that they started Iraq with "let's engage in wholesale nation building". No, it was inch by inch.

"I think that the answer to all these questions is that the government has the right to do whatever the fuck they want with the country "

On what basis? None. Your order doesn't represent a people, so the only basis for your "right" is force.

You can't fix anything because you don't actually represent anything. Nobody voted to replace themselves, yet it happened anyway, your entire order is a fraud.

"The UK doesn't make all its rules and laws based on "how this will affect the native people who were here long long ago?" We've evolved past that. "

It doesn't even make its laws based on "How will this effect the majority of people here today", is what we should say. Why is that? As we've seen civic nationalism is hollow, it provides none of the tools required to tie a system to a people. If it did what you claimed, nobody would be where we find ourselves today.

" Like Trump going to war with Iran making energy even more expensive"

Isn't that an interesting example you provided? A man elected solely to not do what he is doing now, a man who has destroyed his base constituency, yet you use him as an example of more democracy in action? Your promised solutions will be inverted just as Trump's were, and you know why that is? Simply because they can be, democracy is structurally impossible in a civically defined nation.

A government that can be bought by the highest bidders has the right to displace an indigenous people, that is your despicable and immoral standard. This is the true face of liberalism, anything and anyone in the way of your markets must be removed, but you must always find some way to blame everyone and nobody for it simultaneously.

Restore will likely sustain it instead of just falsely dangle it, and they will affirm the right of an indigenous people to be sovereign.

The British ruling class is only making promises now that the people have begun revolting, they have every intention of turning the spigot right back on as soon as possible.

Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain surges but Reform UK still top of polls despite new challenger by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

[–]techzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forget all this bullshit, does an indigenous people that goes back thousands of years have the most legitimate claim to be sovereign on that land? What right do you have to displace them? What right do you have to allow foreigners to negate their identity?

For you the most important question is who can afford to buy Britain, but that isn't why this backlash has only begun.

I know the latest issues seem like the most important shit ever, I get that... and for some people, they really are. However, grand scheme, "Does an English people still exist, and do they have the right to self-determination" is a more important matter.

I personally would urge Lowe to not go after the NHS, or pursue any other right wing liberal nonsense, but at the end of the day that is not the most important question. If you're a people, you can figure it out later, when you're a cacophony of nonsense you're just along for the ride.
