i have one weird trick for them to never have to pay property tax again

Politico@politico.com

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

politico.comDo You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.

the legal basis of section 230 safe harbor is that it's not an editorial choice

Mike Masnick@masnick.com

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

honestly at this point someone should just challenge section 230 itself as facial unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination if this is the public attitude towards platforms

If someone says “read settlers” don’t worry, you don’t have to, you already know what’s in there, the affect and delivery is different, but it’s what every liberal already believes and it’s also what spooky scary ascendant right wing racists like Curtis Yarvin already believes

British zionists talking about “jewish self-determination” when Jews have fewer rights to self-determination in Israel than the UK is stupid and malevolent, but that comes with the territory for zionism.

gotta say, coming into a thread to drop cynical accusations of antisemitism to dissemble about a genocide is a bold move in a thread about how cynical accusations of antisemitism are used to dissemble about a genocide, but i guess that’s just how we do things ‘round these parts

There's no anti-Muslim genocide happening. And it's fucking disgusting for you to tell lies to the contrary when there are over 2 billion Muslims worldwide compared to just 15 million Jews.

given a functional definition of antisemitism as scapegoating an invading race as acting an enemy within the homeland, it is clear that muslims have replaced jews in 21st century america. very helpful that they chose another semitic people for this so we don't even need a new word

björk 182@readsettle.rs

Nazi antisemitism wasn’t simple Jew hatred:; it was specifically the thesis that Jews were a fifth column for international bolshevism. “Never again” was the rallying cry to make sure that Jews would be good capitalists and not rock the boat

@readsettle.rs

which makes it ironic that claims of "rising antisemitism" in defense of a genocide of muslims is itself evidence of rising antisemitism

How do you look at the centrality of the petrodollar to the Iran war and land on "we're sending tax dollars to Israel that could be used on Medicare for All" where do you think those tax dollars came from? social democracy as the moderate wing of fascism theory undefeated

American jews simply do not understand how their religion was specifically and explicitly reformed as a critique of and response to the rise of 19th century nationalism. How could they? To an American, the 19th century is just the civil war and western expansion

@readsettle.rs

everyone’s always “99% of jewish institutions support zionism” and forget we live in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and then completely abandon any sort of class analysis to pretend that these institutions are a true democratic representation of the will of the jewish people

The Jewish bourgeoisie - the donor class that pays for the new sanctuary, makes sure the budget is in the black - what interest did they have in making sure Jewish kids learned about the 19th century? Karl Marx was in the 19th century!

American Jewry has been traditionally seen as a wing of the Democratic Party; to think that Jews would somehow fare better than the Democrats in this regard is to accept the Jewish chauvinist “light unto nations” framing. We’re down in the mud with the rest of you

interesting that reform judaism abandoned doctrinal anti-zionism right around the same time the evangelical church was getting fetal personhood grafted on to it from the catholics in order to do the southern strategy. probably nothing to it, jews marched with MLK Jr., you know

the zionist alliance with maga was predetermined, both obsessed with relitigating 1848 as the victors

björk 182@readsettle.rs

namely the events leading up to the springtime of the peoples amidst the rise of european nationalism. reform judaism, as it eventually crystallized in the united states, rejected a nationalist path for judaism in favor of a religious one.

björk 182
@readsettle.rs

ignorance about the history of their own religion was deliberately manufactured as Zionist propaganda to advance the “Jew with trembling knees” thesis that denies the history of Jewish participation in European society and instead sees only passive waiting to be murdered by the Nazis

björk 182@readsettle.rs

it doesn't really matter because it's basically a matter of doctrinal faith that a rounding error of jews hold to at this point, but the non-zionist reading of "next year in jerusalem" takes into account the political environment surrounding the development of reform judaism
