the level at which people are misusing the term "Never Again" in the far left absolutely infuriates me.

"Never Again" doesn't refer to the idea of no more genocides -- unfortunately people are evil and corrupt and seek scapegoats and destruction, there were genocides in the years following the Holocaust, there were genocides 10 years ago, there are multiple genocides going on as we speak

"Never Again" means we as Jews will pay attention to the warning signs, will not mindlessly allow antisemitism to fester and take over our communities, we will fight back. it means we will be proud. it means we will not let you hate us without a word of refusal.

"Never Again" is a warning for us, it is a reminder that what happened then can happen now -- is happening now. The Far Left doesn't get to use it against us. You don't get to turn our tragedies into hate-speech and antisemitic rhetoric.

K time for my last message. I get that you think I'm some sort of gold digger but not everyone you dislike is Telly and I repeatedly refused money from you for serious things. You commissioned me and I'm an evil bitch for it? You never were my most generous comm/Kofi and I kept in touch bc we have a common friend not because I wanted your fucking money. Also I'm a hypocrite when you reblog shit abt how fat privilege is gorging urself after using my weight as a bargaining chip in an argument. Ok.

I reblogged that fat privilege post specifically to piss you off enough to make you go the fuck away.

(And it seems like it didn’t work anyway! But it’s not my problem that you can’t let go.) You went out of your way to tell me about how you were unfollowing me because you didn’t like the things I was reblogging, yet you were still stalking my blog. If you really unfollowed and told me that you did so because you didn’t like my blog, then you would have unfollowed, end of. None of this bullshit where you were still checking what I was posting. The only reason you could have for that is that you were trying to use your follow-ship as some kind of leverage against me. Gods know I’ve reblogged far more “problematic” things than a pro-free speech meme, so you’ll excuse me if I think the timing of it seems like you were being a sore loser over how our conversation was going. Frankly, I’m not about that kind of manipulation, so I unfollowed you (and why not push a few of your buttons while I’m at it, since you tried to push mine?) and because I’m honest, unlike you, I haven’t looked back.

I have far more important things to deal with. I have a life and, now, a dog. I have a job, and thus coworkers and friends. You were not and are not, by any stretch of imagination, the only person I post opinions about or have disagreements with online. I don’t know where or how you got the idea that all of my personal posts are, somehow, about you. I really have to wonder what it’s like, being that much of a narcissist.

You thought I was being cowardly for “vagueposting” “about you” (just because you happen to fall into the category of people I described, by the way, does not mean that you inspired the post. Again, it must be so nice, having that kind of ego) and said that if I had a problem with you, then I should just talk directly to you about it. And then when I gave you exactly that, a direct discussion (and I bet you never even read the points that I outlined for you in Discord), suddenly you backed off, saying that you don’t want to be arguing with me forever. You just wanted to say your piece and not have to consider other viewpoints. Who’s the coward here? And you know what? I had the feeling that that’s how that was going to play out when we started talking – that you would get mad about being seemingly vagueposted about, but wouldn’t actually be able to handle anything more direct than that anyway.

I’m not the one out here judging people I’ve never met for traits they were born with and thus have no control over. Being fat, however, is a choice. Bill is living proof of that. He lost some 60 pounds over a couple years and I’m 100% certain he gets less physical activity than you do. Think what you want, but I have nothing against fat people (I’m going to marry one, after all). I have things against people who cry about a problem that they can fix but don’t do anything about, against people who don’t own up to their words and actions, like my ex-roommate and so many members of this website’s whiny, entitled community. So you go right ahead and enjoy being so easily offended that you lose the capacity for rational thought. I’m sure that will work out just fine for you. And no, of course not everyone I dislike is Telly. Telly is not you. Telly is probably better than you at this point. At least he admits when he’s made a mistake.

Now go away. Go be a better human, live your life, and stop trying to be relevant to mine. You are nothing to me.
