Why is it people will like, call out racism, everybody knows what racism is, and that it's wrong, but then turn around and parrot antisemitism without even thinking about it and then try to defend themselves by saying it was a joke? Or just not take it seriously? Classic hypocrisy and cowardice.  I love (<--- sarcasm) the classic scenario where a minority group, i.e. in this case a poc, asks for (more / better) representation in a show, movie, game, etc. and the (white) producers / developers shut them down and calls them racist. It's not my war / conversation given I'm white myself, but this "argument" makes me want to smack my head against a telephone pole. I don't know if i'm missing some sort of context that you thought I was talking about something else or if you're just adding on to the conversation. But for this case the context was people flooding a hannukah poem post with free palestine, ban hannukah, & a lot worse, (some even death calls) because the poem ended something like "people of israel" even though people of israel has always meant jews, and has nothing to do with the actual state of israel or anything going on there right now. It was just full of a lot of completely misinformed hateful nonsense. |

Just consider my response a side branch I guess. Edit: Ahh, now I get it. I had misread and misinterpreted your comment as a rant about people who say something racist and then when called out for it claim it was a "joke". Nevermind, different context. |

I'm still not fully understanding the context here - exhaustion is anchoring me down. Which side is morally right and which one is in the wrong?

Dark Sun There were some people also saying some of it and then claiming it was a joke- there was a little bit of everything in that train wreck of a comments section. But as for moral right/wrong being antisemitic is always wrong. There's no reason to trash a jewish holiday or send hate to jewish people over something they have no control over. Unless you mean about the Israel thing I can't/will not speak about the specific state of Israel/Palestine because A) it's not my place and  I am not well enough informed about what exactly is happening there to give any informed opinion. I just know in general its like... complicated and people are being unjustly killed, and that's bad.

Oh of course, no offense intended (regarding your second paragraph). I had to do a bit of online digging to understand what was going on in the first place because, well, I'm a potato.
And yeah I was referring to the Israel thing, I wasn't aware of the killings - in fact the whole subject was murky to me until I did a little bit of research - so... nevermind. I'm a potato.
Forget my comments, I'm just going to shut up because I don't know enough about the subject.

Why do my sister and mom have to fight so much? Seriously. It feels like almost all they do is fight and all I can do is sit here and my room and listen to them. It's always over same thing, my sister thinks her life has been soooooo hard! All she does is piggyback off of my mom! When I was born, my sister wasn't even there! She was off doing some stupid shit and drinking and smoking and hanging around with her stupid excuse of a boyfriend! She didn't even say goodbye when we moved across the whole country! She only started hanging around us when her boyfriend broke up with her. Even after she moved to where we are now, she made some pretty shitty decisions. For example, she got so drunk one time, that she hooked up with somebody and went and had a child! Now don't get me wrong, I love my niece with all my heart, but she wasn't supposed to happen. And then when she was born my sister and her baby daddy got into a custody battle. And what did I do? Sit there. Wondering what was gonna happen because I couldn't even do anything! That whole time, all the adults in my life were keeping secrets from me and wouldn't tell me anything! Up until now, she has been living with us, so I had to deal with everything. Now, she's moving into an apartment, but things aren't gonna change. I love how my family likes to put my brother and I, two teenagers, through this and think that we won't have depression or anxiety or even su!c*d@l thoughts! I can't wait until I can move away from all the drama and fighting.
Now a joke to brighten your day! "A husband and wife had been arguing all day. They pass a herd of jackasses. The wife says, 'Relatives of yours?" Husband says, "Yep, in-laws."

Not sure if this counts as a vent or not, but I'm worried about a friend of mine. We've been best friends for over 5+ years. I haven't heard from them in over two months. Each month, I've sent a message to make sure they're okay and I haven't heard back. I really hope they're okay and I'd try to contact them further (like a phone call), but I think that's invading with their privacy.

like...he didn't want to hurt me but he still did. my fault for hanging in there so long. but damn, i really thought we had something. he was different. not like the others. maybe he was just a lesson i needed to learn.
its been over a month since we last saw each other. ive been trying to get over him for a month. its been a really, really rough month. i think im getting better mentally. walking away from someone i love sucks. i know he likely doesnt feel the same. i know us having what we had hurt him too. but i know for certain how i feel. and ive walked away so the both of us can heal, or at least try to. i can love at a distance, right? sucks leaving someone you love but they weren't really yours to begin with.
ive been taking better care of myself though. ive been more productive and taking better care of my physical and mental health. maybe he was just the jumpstart i needed? i dont know. i keep replaying the memories in my head. i try to stop them but i think about him so much. i probably dont even cross his mind. i dont know. maybe thats not the case. he is genuine, so i dont think thats like him. maybe hes in just the same amount of pain as me. idk. the pain is still there and it hurts like a mf. but its getting better. and its fuel for my workouts
im sure none of this makes sense. theres a ton of backstory, side stories, and other. not enough time nor energy to type it out so im just typing what i feel rn.

I've been there, everything you've said feels really familiar. It hurts and might just be a pain for a really long time but there will be others, there will be more chances, more loves, more time to fix yourself. One day you'll look back and just be able to appreciate what was without wondering what might have been, and feel a little silly that it was that painful.

Why do I still get yelled at by my parents when they have a bad day (even though I'm an adult just like them at this point) and I'm supposed to just bear it because "everyone has those" but when I so much as have a neutral expression on my face/don't smile, they both tell me too "cheer up"? Or when I cry (because of sadness or anger), I'm just supposed to "calm down"?

I HATE insomnia so damn much. I hate being completely exhausted and yet unable to sleep for 16+ hours regardless, only for my body to treat it as a nap and jolt me awake a measly 1-2 hours later at best, and rinse and repeat for what has now been 4 days. I am so tired, in more ways than one.

spoilered because it might bother some people and I’m afraid of confrontation ffs can’t I please just say something nice about my country without having to constantly defend it??? yes I know we’ve done terrible things and I don’t believe we’re perfect by any means - there’s a lot of stuff we still need to fix, I’m not a blind patriot - but I shouldn’t have to lead with that every time I want to acknowledge something positive about the USA. What’s wrong with being grateful for the good things we have every now and then? /rhetorical question |

So my mother told me she's turned over a new leaf and has "found Jesus again". She's denounced her racism and in general judgement towards those who are not cishet (getting back to that in a moment). I have seen her attitude change lately. She still believes that anyone in the LGBTQ+ community, for instance, are still people living "false lives" who she hopes will get cured one day, and that anyone not following Jesus is automatically being corrupted by the devil. But she's like that sweet person who would approach a gay couple and say, "Jesus loves you and so do I. You're going down a bad path, but one day you will be healed and you will no longer be gay."
So while she's not intentionally antagonistic, she's still far from progressive. So I almost feel like a villain for painting her as one still? I am so confused.
Edit: In short she now calls out people who are hateful towards, say, the LGBTQ+ community. But she's still one of those "they'll be cured with love and with intervention from Jesus" types. So if she found out I'm non-binary, for instance, I'd likely be sent over to conversion therapy "out of love". So she's like, "If you hate this group, you have hate in your heart" while also saying that anyone who doesn't follow "God's plan" is out on a wrong path. So sort of morally gray?

People are three-dimensional and just because she claims she's not a racist anymore, doesn't mean she's one of the good guys. You still have every right to criticize her other awful beliefs. |
