Queer goyim will accuse you of Holocaust Erasure for not centering the orange bar and then never in their entire lives mention the blue bar

The aromantic agenda is a good one.

Go and think about what kinds of relationships you want. Don't think about labels like romantic or platonic or sexual, think purely about what relationships would make you happiest.

When I realized I was aromantic, I was asked things like "Would you still date? Would you have a QPR? Will you ever kiss?"

But the aromantic community didn't ask that. Instead, they focused on "What do you want in a world where anything is possible?"

And I realized I want to be alone, surrounded by friends and family I love who are close enough, I can bring them fresh baked scones when I overbake.

They asked me "What do you want?" and the question was so broad, I could weigh labels in my hand like queerplatonic partner and nonpartnering and significant other. I could look at these and shrug and say, "What I want is to not worry about questions I don't care about." I could shelve these indefinitely. Maybe even forever. And just enjoy being myself.

The aromantic community celebrates exploration. Tells people asking if they are aromantic, "This is a personal decision. Your personal decision. If this label helps you, take it. If this community helps you, stay as long as you need. You don't have to be labelled anything, aromantic or otherwise, unless it would bring you comfort. You don't have to be anything you aren't."

It's a good community with good philosophies born from a unique experience, not rooted in missing out, but in being forced to consider what you want when you don't want what's expected.

I strongly, deeply, desperately need leftwing people to stop trying to throw the far right’s “logic” & language in their face, given how many of them are just straight up antisemitic dogwhistles.

I get it. It feels good to make awful people eat their own words. They talk so much about “owning the libs”; it’s satisfying to get to “own” them right back. But when you try to dunk on conservative Christians by comparing them to how the Pharisees are depicted in the Christian gospels, or you call billionaires & politicians “elites” or rightwing conspirators a “cabal”, you are not doing what you think you are doing. These are antisemitic tropes & dogwhistles; it is not possible to co-opt or weaponize them against the right without continuing to do harm to Jewish people. 

At best, you are providing cover for antisemites by handing them the plausible deniability they need to make these dogwhistles work on a silver platter—all without accomplishing anything of any real value beyond the little dopamine hit of “owning the cons”. More worryingly, you are allowing yourself to participate in antisemitic rhetoric in a way that solidifies the antisemitic undertones of that rhetoric on the left, making it easier for leftwing antisemites to co-opt criticism of capitalism & power into economic antisemitism—or, worse, engaging in it yourself.

In any case, the end result is a world—and a left—that is that much less hospitable & more dangerous for Jews. So, please, stop.
