A LOT of Republicans have been Pavlovian trained to see her as evil incarnate. That’s why the negative numbers are so high.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

The most frustrating features of the anti trans side is how they constantly cite systematic reviews as objective when they're filled with subjective choices that can be adjusted to ensure certain outcomes. From exclusion criteria to individual analysis, it's still subjective. This is the proof.

I thought disassociating was a good defense mechanism to deal with depression and going around with a broken body. But I didn’t realize that I could get out of the prison by changing myself. And I saw the dysphoria that was under it all, which let me get out.

Typos FFS. Lousy phone autocorrect. I was typing a script the other day and there were no typos. It’s wild how bad phones do me.

The people operating the Temple weren’t wealthy. They were working class and lived modestly. There was only one group of Jews who were wealthy; the tax (tribute) collectors. They were able to hire leg breakers and could tell centurions to summarily execute people.

Kaplan’s law: any definition of antisemitism that isn’t centered on Jewish life experiences and how that hate impacts them is inevitably framed in a way to cover the definer’s ass.

The chutzpah of this account.

No one was borrowing money to participate in rituals, FFS. There were numerous ways people could participate without having an animal to sacrifice. There were no loan sharks. There were collaborators with the occupiers, and CT makes it very clear Jesus befriended those collaborators.

There is no Temple in existence today. Not sure if you’re aware about that. We haven’t had one since the Bar Kochba revolt. YES, there are shuls named Temple Israel, but it’s not the same thing. There’s no place to pay dues to.

Yes, they also submitted to the rulings of the Sanhedrin and criticisms from the Tannaic circles, who were primarily interested in improving access for the poor, and who allowed grain offerings as an alternative to dove releases or animal sacrifices.

Pilate once demanded to be admitted into the Holy of Holies, got his way, and said he was better than what he saw there and left. And tax collectors shook the people down. Most of the sacrificed food was redistributed to the poor of the region.
The priests served the Jews and several authorities.

The article you cite doesn’t support all those claims. Contemporary accounts describe the priests as working class, performing a hereditary vocation while under duress from aggressive Roman occupiers, trying to keep the imperial cult out of the house of Judaism. They were humiliated by Roman force.

I KNOW they got that last one with me in mind.

Please god do this I'm so sorry I can't feed and house every trans girl on my own we need cis people to do this there just aren't enough of us

A Jew, so he’s white too, I guess. He’s also Ashkenazi.

_I_ am white. Some Jews are black. Some Jews are Latine. Some Jews are Vietnamese.

I don’t think you care about anything besides the conclusions you already came to.

An example of a Jew you just assume is white because he’s a Jew.

We don’t. The fact that you’re entertaining the premise exemplifies the problem.

The point I was making is having a general understanding of which books have the most libels and hateful scenes depicting Jews in them. It isn’t exactly how I expect Christians to interpret their texts.

It’s my expert opinion that Rudi from Funhouse went on T and now he’s the Black Knight and VERY happy with his voice drop. #pinball

But then again the premise of a deity that tolerates an afterlife of suffering existing is … not a good guy. In my reckoning.

Also a very explicit sin: cussing out a fig tree so hard he killed it because he was hangry.
Whereas being presumably giving salvation only to his followers and not a blanket salvation for everyone is more just failing to be kind to everyone, more an act of omission than explicitly harming others.

Jews hearing gospel book citations: Matthew? Probably ok. Luke: Ok. Mark: Not sure.
John: Uh oh.

The whole point of mentioning Jesus befriending collaborators with the regime who extorted wealth out of other Jews on behalf of the occupation was to stress that he was a loyal subject to the Empleror, unlike those pernicious, rebellious Jews.

Seriously, you don’t pay attention to this stuff because Judenhass is sui generis in discussions between Christians, especially when discussing corruption or abusive authority. The only Jews who could put other Jews to death were … tax collectors.
Who was their friend again?

Have you ever listened to progressive Christians?

The problem with liberation theology citing Jesus having a tantrum is that he is demonizing someone and literally attacking them. And people just assume it happened and was fully justified, because Jesus cannot ever be wrong.

Progressive Christianity arguably has even more of a supersessionism problem than conservative Christianity, since it needs to define itself as a Christianity of love against the conservative Christianity of rules and legalism, which is then inherently associated with Judaism.

Activist Orgs Against Iran War Have Soros Money All Over Them George Soros-backed nonprofits have funneled millions of dollars into anti-Iran war activist groups through nonprofits since 2016.

It's notable how, even as the antiwar right like Tucker Carlson are leaning hard into "Israel manipulated us into this war," the prowar right is also finding a way to blame powerful Jews. dailycaller.com/2026/03/09/a...

I dunno, I’m Jewish, I think a Christian politician you like citing an antisemitic libelous story cited for millenia to kill Jews as if it’s real sounds pretty shitty to me. But I suppose your mileage may vary.
