This video "Is the Progressive Left Antisemitic?" is one of the best videos on modern antisemitism (both the right and the left) that I've seen in a while.

The video touches on the antisemitism in progressive spaces, including academia, and how Jews are deliberately silenced or even sometimes blamed for hatred against them. It takes a supportive but critical eye towards the concepts and structures of race theory and how they impact Jews.

As a left-leaning Jew, I found it's open acknowledgement of the pain I suffer from the people whose politics I identify with to be very validating, and I urge you to give it a watch, especially if you're not Jewish. Jews need our non-Jewish friends to understand what we're going through.

In case you arent sure where I am going with this,
think about the western system we have built for the past 400 years.
Think of how amazing a small group of those who have been marginalized have become. Think how frightened and threatened and pathetic the great majority of the coddled class have become.

This group might even become leaders within the group of coddled people
who thought they were leaders, though, in fact, they had become,
in each succeeding generation weaker, dumber and softer.
Eventually, the group who comes out of the great hardships,
and survivies and conquers all, would be this great and superior race,
while 90% of those in the subset would suffer and not overcome,
those that did would be a super race.

(1/2) New #introduction for new instance! Bumbling around starting to get things figured out here.

My scholarly interests are in #CriticalTheory, #IndigenousTheory, #DecolonialTheory, #BlackFeminism, #HipHop, #QueerTheory, #DisabilityTheory, #GenderTheory, #RaceTheory

Mostly a #homemaker, though, help care for my nephew & nieces & my aunt. Also a #photographer (if it's people, I take pictures of them), and while I love #Portrait, I tend to do a lot of #conference & #events & #protests & such.
