The whole thread rages pretty hard from the OP lmao:
I am f*cking tired of constantly needing to check if everyone I interact with hates Jews
I'm Jewish, Zionist, live in NYC, but not very active in Jewish circles (mostly bc I have social anxiety, imposter syndrome, and yes, I should find a therapist)
I am constantly vetting every event I attend, and every date I may potentially go on. I am tired of being surprised by someone's IG post about the "brave students" in the encampments, after they had the gall to come to my Hannukah party. I am tired of checking with my newly engaged friend about the guest list of their wedding. I am tired of wanting to go on a camping trip with my friends, but since I have not personally asked every single person about their stance on Israel I don't know if it will be a safe space. I am tired of watching in apprehension when people look at my Magen David. I am tired of being excited about a friend coming to visit, and wondering if I should ask them about their views now, or wait till I see them in person. I am tired of assuming everyone is a latent anti-Semite who is just hiding their views from me. I am tired of needing to explain why Jews have a right to exist and a right to a homeland.
Edit:
Thank you everyone for your posts! It is helpful (but depressing) to hear that other people are struggling the same way. I don't think my non-Jewish friends understand how I am feeling at all.
and to the person that thinks I have ADHD, and to the pathetic, repetitive, anti-Semitic incel from the UK who is obsessed with BeckiJones and slipped into my DMs - go f*ck yourself.
A whole generation of nerds that didn't get bullied enough
Would it be wrong of me to suggest that if they hate it here so much they should move to Israel?
I've always hated "love it or leave it" because people use it for the slightest criticism, but this person legit could "benefit" from moving there.
Apropos of nothing: remember the reddit battalion in Ukraine? History rhymes. Or I guess people are treating this stuff like a fandom and literally dying for it.
I remember specifically how a bunch of them were posting videos with geotags to Reddit and Russia used it as targeting information for bombing runs
My favorite was the guy who charged an APC with a 12.7mm gun, firing like he was Serious Sam
Got turned into paint for his trouble
"IRL war is not like Borderlands wtf" best last words ever
Real life = True roguelike
They should drive cybertruck to german embassy tbh, israel doesn’t need more kkkolonizers
