That’s interesting, but it doesn’t seem particularly relevant? Like it seems that, like most people, he had a complex relationship with his heritage and the way it manifested in the world. But what’s especially telling is despite him making the antisemitic comment about breaking of the 1973 ceasefire it turns out he gave them the green light to break it, so that seems like that comment might’ve just been an act for the benefit of others. ‘Oh those silly Israelis breaking ceasefires again, oh lawd’, etc, to conceal or misdirect from his involvement in giving tem the go-ahead.

But also this isn’t particularly relevant to the joke I was making, which is that Israel calls anything said or done against Jewish people for any reason antisemitism, so I was turning that back on Israel for things said/done against a Jew. It’s funny regardless of Kissinger’s relationship with his Jewishness or Israel because it’s about Israel, not Kissinger.

I sadly don’t think that’s the case. I still talk to people every day who are parroting 50s-era anti-communist propaganda straight from the mouth of the CIA unironically. Circumstances may be dire, that I don’t dispute, but I feel like they’re going to have to be considerably worse before most people are willing to overcome their indoctrinated bias and start considering alternatives that don’t involve ‘maybe make capitalism suck a little less?’

Kissinger was Jewish, so that was antisemitism. That’s how it works (according to Israel), any political statement or action made against anyone who is Jewish is antisemitism, right? :P

Hmm, someone call maga a waaaaahmbulance, it’s nappy time.

I mean it’s definitely both, but the fashy admins were the last straw.

If you feel like hunting for it I’d be happy to look at it, but I’m not gonna go digging in your posts for who knows how long to find it.

Yep, entirely fair. S’why I left.

I’m not complaining about people leaving, just saying the bots are not the biggest problem.

Oh no doubt, everybody had some kooky ideas.

Positively giddy. :)
