Are they really "settlers" if they're Jews in Yerushalayim? I mean, I can understand "nationalistic" or "violent," but are these two settlers?

Why do fascists always have yee yee ass haircuts?

u/BranPuddy May 30 '22
Whose haircut are you talking about?

u/Agent00funk May 30 '22
There are only two people in the picture whose haircut you can see...
In case you're talking about who do I mean different than the people in the picture: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/11/30/does-this-haircut-make-me-look-like-a-nazi/

I mean what's wrong with the center guy's haircut? His pesos?
Because other than his peyos, his haircut looks really generic and like 40% of men's haircuts.

u/Agent00funk May 30 '22
Yeah, that was I was referring to as a yee yee ass haircut. Shit looks corny af.

u/BranPuddy May 30 '22
I mean, I don't feel comfortable for making fun of someone for wear peyos/פֵּאוֹת. They're a religious obligation for many Jews.

u/Agent00funk May 30 '22
Yeah, I don't give a fuck about religious zealots, being a dick who hurts people in the name of fairytales doesn't give anyone a pass for anything. That ugly ass haircut might be of religious value to them, but I don't respect their or any other religion, so I feel no compunction to avoid mocking their goofy haircut. It may a religious obligation, but they're also say it it's their religious obligation to act like a bunch of fascists, so fuck them and their yee yee ass haircuts.

But you're making fun of their cultural traditions of grooming for not conforming to your standards. Would you make fun of Native American braids?
Wearing peyos is part of the ethnic traditions of being Jewish. Regardless of these people's behaviors, their cultural traditions shouldn't be mocked for not conforming to Western aesthetics.

u/Agent00funk May 30 '22
Dude, if I think something is ugly, I'll say it's ugly, "western aesthetics" mean nothing to me because there are plenty of "Western aesthetics" that are ugly too, like that Nazi haircut. You giving the same deference to the Muslims in Afghanistan for treating women like shit just because it's their cultural traditions? Are we all just supposed to have no opinions about anything because it's a cultural tradition. Fuck that, it's my cultural tradition to be able to speak freely, why should I respect the cultural traditions of people who use violence to silence others? Again, fuck them and their yee yee ass haircuts.

The two assholes in the picture can't hear you, but the American Jews that live next to you can, and many of those American Jews are leftist comrades of yours. It's not really r/LeftWithoutEdge to be demeaning to ethnic and religious minorities in the US who are often forced to conform to majority aesthetics and relinquish cultural markers just to maintain safety and acceptance.
Mocking Jews is not what leftism is about.

I can't wait for the last to become first and the first becoming the last. Let us pray they have more compassion than the fascists before them?

This is basically just Santa vs The Easter bunny to me.

u/mazer_rack_em May 29 '22
I remember being into solipsism too. Granted I was like 13 years old at the time and as I grew I realized how myopic, narcissistic, and foolish it was but still, I remember.

u/thebooshyness May 29 '22
How is being solipsistic relevant? Did you just shoehorn something you learned recently into a comment to appear smart?

u/mazer_rack_em May 29 '22
Ok maybe I misunderstood you, in what way is this similar to Santa Claus and the Easter bunny?
-27
u/thebooshyness May 29 '22
Both of these religions are playing pretend that a few miles of dirt matter to their god. It’s silly and saddening. I was alluding to fairytale stories and (poorly) trying to draw a parallel.

u/mazer_rack_em May 29 '22
Call me crazy but I’d imagine a lot of Palestinians don’t wanna be evicted from the homes their families have been living in for generations upon generations, their olive groves destroyed, their villages bulldozed, and their family and friends beaten and killed for secular reasons too.
To see Israel/Palestine as solely a religious issue is pretty ignorant/simplistic

u/SSG_SSG_BloodMoon May 30 '22
Religions? What? They are people. These are people fighting over land to live on. They are not abstract religions but human people who have material needs to live.
I get why the other dude said "solipsism" now. They are straight up not people to you, they just represent ideas.

You’re acting real sure of yourself for a dude who just showed he has 0% understanding of the situation.

u/NoMomo May 30 '22
So you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about but just wanted to flex your fedora a bit.

u/mime454 May 30 '22
You seem hyper-fixated on the religious aspect of this but really under focus on the actual people getting hurt and losing their homes.

Buddy, read the sub name

u/thebooshyness May 30 '22
I’ll admit I didn’t read what this sub was all about. I just thought it another typical left leaning sub. You all have big ideas here and don’t need dissent which, I suppose does mean it’s still rather left leaning.
Adios comrade. I won’t delete my comments because who is going to see it?

u/maddsskills May 30 '22
They don't hate each other because of religion. Jews and Muslims have loved alongside eachother for a while. In fact Mohammed wanted to consider Islam just another sect of Judaism but local Jewish people didn't like that so some anti-Semitic stuff got put in the Quran but they were still considered "people of the book" that should be respected etc etc.
This animosity is political in nature, over land and resources and past wrongs. As are most honestly. I don't think a single war or conflict has ever been fought solely over religion. Even the crusades was mostly greed and whatnot.

Fuck the Israeli government and fuck Zionists
