about Ye and WWII
My family mostly made it out of France except for those in the Army who were sent to Auschwitz and did not survive. My grandfather's cousin was a medic so he was one of the first Americans into the camps. One of the people at my parents' wedding had a jaw which healed crooked after she played dead among the corpses and an SS man slammed the back end of a Kar 98 into her face. My great uncle was in the Ardennes, where they would have shot him had he been captured for being *American*, not just Jewish.
Do I need to tell you more about how not a joke and not a fun thing I think this is?
re: about Ye and WWII
@Leucrotta I am absolutely fucking livid over the whole thing and how it's being covered. If it's the Cosmic Author writing satire, it's the bleakest Kurt Vonnegut stuff and it's "funny" like a stomach pump. I am intensely disturbed by what is at *best* a complete psychiatric breakdown being cheered on by a neo-fascist movement whose stated and practices beliefs are increasingly coming to resemble a manic episode. If anything, I want to smack Me From A Decade Ago for not taking these things more seriously.

@zebratron2084 I don’t think the at best applies. I think he knows damn well what he’s doing, is playing to an audience and there’s an excuse because with antisemitism there always is. As stated earlier all I can do is wait for the deaths from hate crime to roll in, and get the fuck off Twitter as I should have done earlier.
re: about Ye and WWII
@zebratron2084 there was a follow up which was the thing that really made me want to start throwing cinder blocks. I *started out* tired of Christians making everything okay by having a religion which is officially about love and forgiveness, cause that’s a unique trait I’m religions. I didn’t get less tired.
re: about Ye and WWII
@Leucrotta Yeah, I have a rant stored up about the difference between "forgiveness" and "the moral equivalent of money laundering," the latter ofc being the one actually practiced by most modern Christianity. :X
re: about Ye and WWII
@zebratron2084 this might be a feature of Christianity specifically which my works vs faith background innately doesn’t jive with. I don’t get to say I’m a Jew/Makhnovist/Buddhist/etc and have it make everything fine because someone *else* said something enlightened.
