Reply to comment by putney in CDC Issues Warning as New Data Shows Scope of Polio Spread in NYC Area by brooklynlad

I'm not saying you shouldn't be critical of them. I'm saying that you shouldn't do so in front of non-Jews because it enables antisemitism. For example, what you said, "they are regressive imbeciles", would be extremely antisemitic if it was said by a non-Jew, because the context would be completely different. But now anti-semites can just point at you and say, "See, this guy gets it!' and be empowered to continue.

You sound like my dad. It was fine to eat pork and share pork with other Jews, he said, but not to let anyone non Jewish know that you ate pork. It’s a truly absurd theory.

From my understanding your dad had it backwards. Obviously eating pork is not "fine" for a Jew because it's not kosher. And a Jew definitely cannot share pork with another Jew for the same reason. Regarding telling non-Jews they ate pork, I haven't heard any problem with that. However, I think there may be a problem with telling Jews they ate pork because that Jew may then think it was kosher. So your dad's theory sounds absurd because it was incorrect.

No, my dad’s theory is exactly your theory. Bring an uneducated moron = pork

Your dad's theory is the exact opposite of what I said, just read what I wrote again.

Who cares what racist assholes think? Not me. I care about being grouped in with primative losers because I'm not one. These assholes are ruining Judaism for the rest of us. I want Jews to be associated with Einstein. Not some jackass with a year 1 ideology about burning bushes and cave man shit

You are trashing your tribesmen of 4000 years for some social credit with anti-semites who in the final analysis will group you in with them anyway. Is it worth it? In 2000 years of antisemitism was it ever worth it?

I'm talking about the 12 Tribes of Israel. It's not primitive, it's an aspect of being Jewish.

No. You're a primative. You do not represent modern Jews. You're not chosen by god either. Fuck off with that. I dont have any tribe. I'm living in 2022.

Just stop claiming Judaism. You're not a jew. You're the Taliban equivalent.

I'm a modern Jew. Why do you get to decide who is and who isn't a Jew?
