  • It’s such a shitty landscape right now.

    Is a given person uttering valid critique of Israel or is it veiled antisemitism? Is their opponent calling out real antisemitism or is it a dishonest defense of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel? Is real valid critique being answerd by honest but wrongly-addressed call outs of antisemitism? Is real antisemitism accepted as a valid critique?

    The example of this thread is definetly a dishonest defense of Israel, they could not have made it clearer that they will oppose valid criticism of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel.

    And I hate that, because equating Israel and jewish people is playing right into the hands of antisemites and into the hands of a murderous isreaeli government.











  • Being weird is not an insult to us, we wear that hat with pride. But our weird behavior falls on one side of the “normalcy range”, the quirky, the funny, the confidently different, the queer side.

    There is another side of “weird”, the side of creepy weird, the side of child predators, the side of tikki-torch nazis, the side of whatever the couch fuck is wrong with J.D. Vance. And they don’t wear that hat with pride, they wish they were normal or think of themselves as normal.

    To the ones who hate us, who can’t stand our confident weirdness, and to the ones who are on the wrong side of weirdness, it’s an insult. That’s why we can be proudly weird, while they start foaming at the mouth at the mere implication that they might not be “normal”. That’s why this attack lands, they are the anti-queer, the anti-weird and pointing out that Trump behaves outside the accepted range of “normal” behavior (just in the opposite direction of our weird) is an effective attack.
