  1. Not literally Nazi. But definitely fascist.
  2. No doubt. I would say for the majority of Magadonians the fascist part is exactly what's getting them excited. Learn from history? Asking too much of Magadonians.
  3. Yeah "liberals" like Liz Cheney. I think the opposition to a fascist takeover by Donald Trump is in a mood of rational worry. Not desperation. The maga fascists are irrationally over confident and drowning in toxic hubris.
  4. That's patently absurd. So tiny Estonia should pay the same amount as massive USA? You should rethink this.
  5. George Washington welcomed Jews. The Netherlands has historically welcomed Jews. Boca Raton Florida welcomes Jews (joke break). I'm sure there are others but those come to mind.
  6. It's worth noting that other minority groups especially Latinos will not take the Puerto Rican attack lightly. If that's how the maga fascists think about fellow born citizens, what do they think of even legal migrants? Let's hope they wake up to what Trump really is in time to stop him.
  7. You're confused. It's the maga fascist dear leader Donald Trump himself that has started to refer to the entire USA as a garbage can. What a disgusting man! Who in their right mind would want such a horrendous person in any kind of power?
  8. Like a herd of migrating wildebeest. Give way! Give way!
  9. Puerto Ricans specifically. They're going to regret this! Puerto Ricans are US citizens.
  10. I'm not interested in the IQ debate but we've been through this before. Being Jewish by conversion is not encouraged at all in Judaism. So though not exactly rare is not super common either. So the majority of Jews do indeed have a Jewish ethnic identity. Obviously when Sammy David Jr. converted he did not. Not rocket science.
  11. What a dumb deflection. I was talking about how certain ethnic groups have a higher risk for certain disease that are linked to genetics. Such as tays sachs for Ashkenazi Jews, sickle cell for blacks. I wasn't talking about intelligence. That's a can of worms. I was just saying that there are distinctive ethnic groups associated with Jews. So people saying Jewish is only about a religion are objectively wrong. There is a strong tribal aspect (you are a Jew from your Jewish mother) in the anthropological matrilineal sense.
  12. They would pause for a while to rebuild their military.
  13. Bull. Medical genetics of Jews - Wikipedia
  14. No. Jewish is BOTH a religion and a people (ethnically). Thus an ETHNORELIGIOUS group. It is not an ideology. Within the Jewish religion, there are many different sects from the extremely religiously observant (an incredible amount of work and commitment) to the very liberal reform sometimes called the Unitarians of Judaism, to the quite a few Jews who have a Jewish identity but not religious at all, often called cultural Jews. For Americans that can mean loving Jerry Seinfeld and lox and bagels. As far as genes. you are misinformed as well. For example Ashkenazis are easily identifiable by DNA and are unfortunately subject to some diseases which are much more common to those with Ashkenazi ethnicity.
  15. Nobody in their right mind believes Trump can do that. It's as stupid as his build the wall and Mexico will pay for it lies. It's amazing to me that Trump has the level of support that he does have and yes obviously he might indeed win.
  16. It's customary and polite when attending some Jewish events for all men to wear a kippah whether Jewish or not. Kind of like taking off your shoes to enter a Thai home. They would be handed out to all males unless a male was wearing one coming in. They weren't judging you either way.
  17. Yes, you can convert but Jews do NOT seek converts and as I said before to actually convert to Judaism is very hard and takes a long time. So not many people do it. The small hat thing -- there you go again displaying your vile racism. Yes you can cosplay as a rabbi if you like. Doesn't make you a Jew. Not required to answer this of course, but I am bit curious. Were your parents also Jew haters or did you later acquire the disease?
  18. What about JP Morgan? For historical reference: A Jew and King of Jews! Nazi Blast at Morgan - Jewish Telegraphic Agency 1933 As far as U.S. presidents. there never has been a Jewish president (Mexico beat us to it!).
  19. Yes. 100 percent. Because Trump wants to pressure Ukraine to surrender to Putin getting nothing in return. Xi will see that and figure that's the precedent. Do the dirty, maybe deal with some sanctions for a few years, then the weakened west now who has the most important leader a fellow anti democracy dictator, and then win it all. Maga fascists are looking super short term.
  20. Nah. This election is like no other in history. As far as what happened to Hillary, most people thought she was way ahead so many didn't even bother to vote. If the polls were saying it was close, she would have won because more people would have thought their vote mattered. I kind of like that the maga fascists seem to be irrationally over confident. That might help.
  21. I think she has distinguished herself on the reproductive rights issue so I would expect her to continue to speak out about that during the many state by state battles of that issue.
  22. They weren't very wrong. She did win the popular vote quite soundly. Exit polls are very different than pre vote polling.
  23. Why would anyone take any religious texts literally? Again, Jews are an ethnoreligious group. If you're born to a Jewish mother you're a Jew even if you don't believe a word of the Torah and eat ham sandwiches on the regular. That freaks many people out. Oh well.
  24. There is a cultural aspect at least in Ashkenazi culture. The concept of goyishe nachas (Yiddish). A stereotype of course not covering everyone, as no people are a monolith. Meaning Christian families will be super PROUD their kid being a star on the football team. but Jewish families will value winning a science fair much more. Suggesting CULTURAL DIFFERENCES account for differences in types of achievement. What's valued, what's reinforced.
