#ChristianSupremacyIs the conflation of "Christian" with "good" in cultural assumptions and aphorisms.
#ChristianSupremacy is having every public interaction for 1/4 of the year involve strangers asking my kids what they want for Christmas or if they're excited about the Easter bunny.
#ChristianSupremacy is the fact that we need to have a big public legal debate about whether Christians can be expected to treat gay people as equals if it violates their religious beliefs, but non-Christians are expected to work on religiously mandated days of rest.

"Translations are a very simple concept. You take a word and translate it DIRECTLY into another languages word."

Cool, let's go.

ברוך הבא! מה שלומך?
בסדר!

Totally normal greeting exchange in Hebrew.
Translated directly that's:

Blessed coming! What's your peace?
In order!

It makes no sense in English, because direct translation - especially between different linguistic families - is not a thing. All translation is interpretation, and it is far from simple.
An *equivalent* translation is:

Welcome! How are you?
Okay!

Not TOO complicated in this case. But you need to know that while "shalom" means peace, the concept of what "peace" means is pretty different, and how one is doing can be seen as a measure of their personal peace.

Yesterday my Least Favorite Co-Worker was complaining in a meeting about how the vaccine is stupid because it doesn't even stop you from getting Covid, it just makes Covid less severe, and I just need to point out - that is literally how all immunizations work. All of them.
Immunizations don't, like, build an invisible wall around your body that stops viruses from getting into you. They teach your body *in advance* how to kill that virus so that when it DOES enter your body you can kill it off quickly and efficiently without feeling as sick.
If they work well enough, your body can kill off the virus before you build up enough of a viral load to transmit it to anyone else. Currently, it looks like the Covid vaccinations are indeed that good. Which is exactly what you want in a vaccine.

A full quarter of American adults are Evangelical Protestants. It's the largest denomination of Christianity in the US. There is no way to frame pushing back against a massive, wealthy, politically powerful group like that as "punching down". That's not what "punching down" means
The pushback is not about "idiot rubes". The problem isn't that they hold "stupid, archaic beliefs". The pushback is against people actively seeking to institute a theocracy in order to cause harm to other people.
Some of the beliefs *are* stupid, but it's not their stupidity that gets attacked, it's that those beliefs are used to oppress and persecute minority populations - especially populations that have been *historically* persecuted, and are already disprivileged.

I dunno Matt, maybe this is why. ImageImageImage
Also Matt, have you considered that
Cops killing people is a problem
Cops being racist is a problem
The intersection of cops being racist and cops killing people is an exponential problem
Have you considered, Matt, that the issue is that the cops are a force in defense of white supremacy, and in addition to Black people there are white people who are victimized by white supremacy? Do we know how many white victims were queer, or disabled, or non-Christian?

Let's do this better:
Self-motivated study can be HARD. Just because you fall of your streak on Duolingo, or miss a chunk of a tractate doesn't mean you've failed. It doesn't mean you aren't committed enough. It doesn't mean you aren't good at learning. It means you're human.
Fortunately for us, Judaism EXPECTS us to be human! Our library of scripture, exegetical interpretation, and parables are chock full of examples of our most revered sages talking about how they are still struggling to learn and understand.
We're EXPECTED to come back to the same material again and again, looking at it from different angles, approaching it with different experiences, building up our learning muscles as we go. That's why we re-read the Torah every single year. It's why Daf Yomi is a repeating cycle.
