"The world’s solution to safety and security, for Jews and for others, continues to be inextricably linked to the nation-state and its sovereignty — to militarized borders and an obsession with demography. As modern history has shown, such an idea always has the potential for exclusionary politics and mass violence. Perhaps most damaging of all is how such a solution propagates a diminished understanding of safety: It is the state that needs defending, not people. It is the state that holds sovereignty, not people. This logically leads to policies that label certain elements of society acceptable losses in times of conflict — sacrifices in the name of the state. And it facilitates an essentialist view of the world that cannot include the history of human migration and leaves no room for the fluidity of identity."

libs are getting mad at people for leading the anti genocide protests if they're not arab. bro what the fuck is this psycho shit, why would some random brown person in the US be the best candidate to lead a march, why are liberals just progressive racial essentialists?

@exiliaex there arent too many around where i'm at but i should also spend more time out there finding guys to talk to. there was a cat who used to follow me around for a bit but he was only around for a year and think he moves spots whenever winter comes around

been taking a little break from working on the romhack while i learn more about early human settlement and how forms of domination spread but i think i'll jump back into it once i finish listening to the graeber book

realized this thread was just how i stream of conscious type over here so figure i'd repost it

really hoping leftist spaces dont embrace more structurally antisemitic political thought in response to this shit and so far it's been way better than i was expecting though i'm really worried what'll happen after israel responds

@Remigius the concept of slurs makes people act in really predictable and imo boring ways

they tell you that you can Know things for certain as a way to teach you to accept certain logics where they feel their framework to be advantaged. accepting there is a Truth to things really, is to accept that there is a correct perspective to view things from and very very very frequently that perspective and the state/social authority occupy the same place in peoples heads and with it comes all other sorts of assumptions that they'll throw into the conversation

they need Reality not just as the fantasy that they use to train their behaviors/reactions to things, but as a way to set in stone the social practice of believing authorities, because the only way to gain insight onto Reality is by confirming it with another person, but often not just another person, a person with the right credentials or social position

Show thread

one really obvious behavior that occurs whenever you reframe anything a dipshit says is the expression of frustration or objections about something being unfair in the conversation because it's social conservative decorum to never do this unless something is very morally important because you're fundamentally shattering their Reality and they cannot function without it

Show thread

they need things to be this simple because moral stimuli need to produce clear answers to them. as defenders of societies reproduction, they know that civilization cannot function without this regime
