im absolutely on the same page as you are wrt the ADL; i think they're cancer and although i have not been personally sued by them and i hope you absolutely cleaned them out with an anti-SLAPP suit
@spiderfasting @aqualover420 to people who respond to the above tweet by saying "thats antisemitic" my response would be "its obviously not dont be retarded" and i fully support people being able to criticize the ADL
but it's a hell of a leap from that to "organized judaism"
@aqualover420 @spiderfasting the united states has practically open borders, israel does not yet ashkenazim have even more power there
ill be waiting in the alley armed with the jawbone of one of your mom's boyfriends from her tijuana years
@punch_sideiron aside from that at current margins the best response to nazis is to refuse to take them seriously and fortunately they do not make this difficult
@aqualover420 @wooptholomew @Ifrit357 @MajesticPLion if you got an invitation to a black tie event on the other side of the country tomorrow evening would you be able to attend? would you have the slightest idea how to comport yourself there?
do you know how to wear a three-button jacket? can you tell oxfords from loafers?
@aqualover420 @wooptholomew @Ifrit357 @MajesticPLion do you understand what i am saying?

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
in any sociopolitical system, the degree to and the manner in which power is centralized may be characterized by the structure of patronage networks
these structures are often more revealing about the nature of government than its nominal type
for example
the "kingdom" of france continued continuously for about a millennium depending on how you measure it
but its actual government varied widely
most notably, it transitioned from feudalism to absolute monarchy that occurred under richelieu and at versailles
this transition, made possible first by military developments and the rise of the bourgeoisie, represented a rising king (patron of the bourgeois) among other things destroying the patronage networks of feudal lords and reallocating their clients to himself via state organs
i get it now, this is legit. reddit objects are objects recommended to _entry-level enthusiasts_ by topical subreddits because they work well to improve lives over baseline with a relatively low level of effort for a majority of cases
realistically there's no way to stop people from tacitly or explicitly allocating taxes and benefits on the basis of race and large portions of the country have interests in this happening or ideological commitments to doing so
the norms to which new immigrants are assimilating and young natives inculcated are immensely ethnically charged without any public and common ideal of transcending race for an american identity, an identity which frankly doesnt even exist anymore
