Taking a measure of satisfaction in the fact that her life is an unbroken procession of miseries

    Medieval kings used to fuck up and make the pope mad then expel all the Jews as a way to make amends. "See, I'm godly! I exiled the children of Abraham!" The first pitstop many crusaders made on their way to the Levant was to sack and burn Jewish settlements on their way east.

    Over a thousand years of rampant systemic antisemitism. The holocaust forced a lot of people to finally go "oh fuck" and realize the logical endpoint of their casual antisemitism. And this stupid asshole belittles that too with her krystalnacht comparison. I refuse to take moral lessons from the historically illiterate. Take your vibes-based moralizing and shove it up your ass, Fartlow. You know how I know history is on our side? Because some of us actually study it.

      If only they'd also realized it's the logical endpoint of capitalism as well.

        Totally. Racial and ethnic hatred is mutually assured destruction when facing a global catastrophe, like climate change, or a totalizing global system of oppression like capitalism.

      yeah, the holocaust made them temporarily embarrassed but never fear, in typical westoid fashion, they then offloaded the problem on palestine and got a neocrusader state in return!
