NYC falling to Islam would be a fitting end to the American experiment of democracy

"Liberation. You know, liberation. As in, “Don’t tell me how to live, pray, or fuck.”

This struck a chord with me because it's also how I feel about the term "socialism." As someone who comes from a long line of Jewish socialists, I always viewed the concept as relating to workers' rights, healthcare for all, gender equality, etc. Not the way it's been twisted now.

I think and write about the devolution of the left. How did they go from Marxism to this weird cult of climate, identity, sex obsession?

I think it started with Gramsci, then got worse with the work of Marcuse, Foucault and especially Fanon.

Brilliant "dis!: - It’s cultural BDSM masquerading as solidarity." It's "Ilsa She Wolf of the SS" without the camp, without the final "reprisal..."

Nevah thought I'd have a leave NYShitty (i.e. home!) but our fam left 2 years ago in full out dee-skust. We sawr the pendin' dumpster fihre an' said...fergittabout it....

When priv'it armed suck-ur-itty had ta be paid fer by the famblies of a dear friend's private jooish dayschool so her daughter could go without bein' attacked (she ended up bussin' her kid ta joisey b/c the scene wuz "too much...") it's enough....

When goin' inta the health food store meant crossin' a scab line (their crime? sellin' Israeli hummus) an' passin' some skeery lookin' folks in ccp-made "keffiyas" demandin' a knee-jerk anti-zio confession (no way forthcomin').... it's enough!

When mah once fun alma matah ("NYJoo") hosted flag burnin' (US & Israeli) on camp-puss... an' 'fore that turned their logos black 'n white in solidarity with BLM.... it wuz enough!

When a large homeless man took a dump right outside my younger daughter's ballet school nr Lincoln Center an' nobuddy seemed ta mind (but us)...it wuz enough!

When runnin' from train car ta train car with my girls-in-tow ta avoid insane dangerous cursin' big guys (who also relived themselfs on the train....) got tire-sum, that too wuz enough....

When my lack of an Empire Pass got us all unemployed an' my kiddos banned from par-tissy-pay-shun in society.... it soitenly wuz enough...

dayenu!... any one of these would'a been a message from above ta git the freakin' heck outta new yawk.... 10 plagues? more?! Ma'amDummy the mouthpiece / rapper is just the 11th. The caliphate is on the way... 12?

Once "my kinda town"....now it's call-to- prayer time on Park Ave an' Wash. Sq Park

Next year will mark the 25th commemoration of 9-11…Will it be a sombre remembrance or a celebration? As always, your vote matters.

To me and many people on the left the idea of never again learned from historical genocides like the nazi holocaust is that never again should any people be dehumanized and exterminated on the basis of their identity.

Israel is exterminating palestinians in Gaza on the basis of their identity. Benjamin Netanyahu is a modern day Adolf Hitler Because he is engaging in the same crime of extermination in which he is trying to starve palestinians to death while slowly bombing more and more of them. Israeli society has totally dehumanized palestinians and Cheers on their suffering.

If you learned the right lessons from the nazi holocaust then you would know that never again is happening right now to palestinians in Gaza and it's being done by Israel.

Please listen to my 20 minute post called

Never Again is Happening Now; the Gaza Holocaust, October 7th, & Netanyahu’s ICC Arrest Warrant

All good people should be standing up in solidarity with the Palestinian people right now. They are humans deserving of universal human rights including the right to life.

Funny how Anti-Americans get here and don't want to leave...Anyone admiring Islamists should go live with them. Until then, all these pseudo-intellectuals spewing their branches of propaganda aren't worth the attention they crave.
