For alot of older Jewish Americans seeing the rise of Israel was very inspring and subsequently Israel has been seen through rose colored glasses by these people. My grandfather was 23 when the Nakba happened, but to him Israels founding was a miracle. To him it made Jews look strong, whereas the holocaust was the epitome of weakness.
That… sounds very similar to how many ordinary Italians felt about Benito Mussolini. Most Italians beyond the Kingdom of Italy had little to no interest in Fascist politics. They just liked Mussolini because he was a ‘tough guy’ and an Italian who was well respected throughout the Western world (as well as the Empire of Japan). Since other societies tended to look down on Italians, they couldn’t afford to be picky.
It was only a few years ago that I learned that European gentiles tended to stereotype Jews as scrawny weaklings:
At the Second Zionist Congress, held in Basel in 1898, Max Nordau had coined the catchphrase Muskeljudentum.⁹ In its spirit the Zionist Maccabi associations strongly supported the idea of physical regeneration through body training. Influenced by Friedrich Ludwig Jahn and the German Turner (gymnastics) movement, the activities of the Jewish sports clubs in Europe sought to develop a social, religious, and ethnic climate to counteract the stereotype of the “feeble Jew.”
There was a similar motive in attempting to colonize Palestine during the 1880s:
For Chissin, these violent confrontations with local Arabs symbolized the revival and regeneration of a Jewish masculinity and virility so fundamental to the development of Jewish nationalism and Jewish defense forces.¹⁷
I don’t know if the ‘scrawny Jew’ stereotype remains widespread (it probably doesn’t), but it feels like society is slowly drifting away from the attitude that ‘weak’ people are somehow valueless, inevitably outdating another justification for Zionism.

So Dandadan is just gonna be a horny anime? Shame cause there seems to be some interesting stuff going on and the animation is really good, but if every woman is going to end up half naked for horny teenage fans I don't think this is one for me.
Friends tried recommending it to me and I was like "that the one with aliens doing SA on a high school girl played for jokes?" and they didn't say no.
The overwhelming positive response is pretty strange
There are moments where I'm like "ok yeah cool so this is why people fw this" and then like a minute later boobs will be gainaxing all over the screen like wtf.

Parents are bad and intellectual property is a farce? Capitalism ruins everything? Let's find out!
The Patent Law’s foundation has been challenged by a University of Bristol academic.
Dr Mo Abolkheir, a philosopher specialising in inventions and patents, has identified a logical fallacy - a flawed argument that may appear valid but is based on faulty reasoning - within the law.
Wait how does a logical fallacy matter here.
Published in the Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice (JIPLP),
Oh, something new for me to hate
Dr. Abolkheir’s editorial identifies a logical fallacy embedded within the 'non-obviousness' requirement in patent law, a flaw that had gone unnoticed until now.
this is looking less like a critique of capitalism every minute
Dr Abolkheir has termed this the inventio ad hominem fallacy, a variation of the classical ad hominem fallacy, an example of which is the sporting analogy of playing the man rather than the ball.
I hate this now
He explains that patent offices, when assessing an invention’s patentability, have been inadvertently examining the cognitive abilities of the inventor rather than the invention itself. He suggests this introduces dangerous subjectivity into the process, in terms of varying indirect interpretations of an inventor’s intellectual capacity, rather than on the technical merits of the invention.
What? Of course they have. This barely scratches the surface!? The process requires lawyers which requires money which is immediately a class issue. Subjectivity!? My dude this is and always has been a type of class warfare. The subjectivity is intended.
I don’t typically keep up with sports but why can’t the people being annoying about Lebron James’ son keep that same energy for nepotism in general
I hate it. For some reason it’s cool and good to get a job because of your daddy but once it happens in sports?
For some reason
Death to America
How come no one's hiring anymore? I apply to places that literally ask for zero qualifications and I still hear nothing back. Not even an interview.
IDK about the states, but in klanada they'll post ridiculous job listings like "coffee store employee, 60 dollars an hour", hire nobody for months, then bring on a temporary foreign worker that they can use as practically indentured labour by claiming there were no locals who wanted the job and needing an LMIA.
I think the feds have slowed that program down. They did a whole "businesses would abuse a system of cheap labour" thing a few months ago, and restaurant owners started crying about it.
I keep seeing the same positions get reposted, so assuming those are real they're presumably going unfilled. They span the entire range of above my experience level, perfect match, and I'm a little overqualified. Every time I apply it's the same "we went with candidates whose qualifications are a better fit" lol.
that thing where your top and bottom teeth knock into/scrape against each other just happened fuck my stupid little life
