It's funny the Jewish community is being accused of trying to control everything, but I can't remember the last time a Jewish person tried to force their religion on me, or govern the country based on what THEY believe in.

if you think that anti-semitism and anti-anti-semitism are equally bad, you’re probably just an anti-semite

Opinion | Twitter randos dragging billionaires is cancel culture. Billionaires buying Twitter to end all criticism of them and their companies is free speech.

the push against transgender people, politically, has moved very quickly from "we have to keep sports fair" to "your existence is illegal now" lots of people who study politics noted this was likely to happen but were dismissed as alarmist

If you define being gay or trans as "sexually explicit" and say children under 10 can't be exposed to it under penalty of Federal law then you have effectively banned gay and trans people from the public sphere, which is the point of course.

One of my entirely unproven theories is that the "customer is always right" justification for bad treatment of service workers is a major contributor to the modern rise of fascism by giving a lot of people the taste of power that comes with having a servant caste.

I need people raised on a steady diet of Malcolm Gladwell to realize "everything human beings do to make the world better is a trap that delivers them to hell" has a distinct neoliberal ideological character and practically mandates sweeping and hostile societal reforms

hi, are you doomscrolling? It might feel like an act of agency due to the pandemic. Why not use that agency to take care of yourself through a screen break, going to bed early, and/or doing another activity that makes you happy? You still deserve time to rest and recover.
