  • chuck schumer is a vile and hubris filled man. he is the embodiment of all that Jewish people for millennia have resisted and fought against. my Jewish kindergarten teacher (southern Galitzyen Jew, just like schumer’s ancestors) was very adamant that any evil ethnostate is anti-jewish by nature, and that includes israel. the point of the dietary restrictions, the holidays remembering dire times, and all of the stories about the history of the people is to build an understanding that domination cultures are bad and that a good Jew should resist them. even the common way of tracking “jewishness comes from your mother” is a point of resistance against a largely patriarchal hegemonic society (and also emphasizes food as what makes a people a people).

    chuck schumer is not a good Jew and he does not represent what it means to be Jewish. you want a good Jew at a high level in politics? look at Claudia Sheinbaum and what she’s up to. you wanna know what state most accurately reflects the Jewish identity in 2025? it ain’t the one that’s telling you it’s Jewish. it’s Mexico. because the point of being a good Jew isn’t to be vocal in your Jewishness, but to be a good person first: kind, gentle, compassionate, patient, and strong.






  • there’s also an element of sunk cost fallacy. they don’t want to let themselves be deprogrammed because they’ve invested so much in this. somewhere deep in their souls, a lot of them know they’re in the wrong but they can’t listen to that part of themselves because it’s easier to keep going than to have the humility to say they were wrong.

    if you’ve ever lost a friend to an MLM, this is the part where they double down on the MLM when it’s going poorly because their upline convinces them the problem isn’t the business model, but their friends and relations. the result is isolating.

    this is the thing to understand about the political doctrine of isolationism, too. it’s not about not interfering in other places (such as say… Iran), it’s about threatening violence against all who would oppose efforts to build coalitions with the people the empire is oppressing. it’s not about letting things play out, it’s about intensifying control
