A distinction I think we might want to consider: a lot of people aren’t using “Zionist” as a sub-in for “Jew”, they’re using “Zionist” as a sub-in for “kike”—not that they’d actually use that word per se, but that the feelings associated with that word are the ones they’re trying to invoke when they call Jews they don’t like “Zionists”

Geologists claim it's because the earlier Cenozoic used to be called the Tertiary, but that's just a ruse to hide the secret third geologic period, between the Neogene and the Quaternary, that they won't tell us about.

I found something and analyzed it, also good member for your block list.

This blog intro is a great example of both cognitive distortion and dissonance in one place. This person one thinks "white jews are privileged white supremacists", while being white themselves = distortion, this person has an internal bias against white and cis people (as we can see), and it truly affects their judgment. However they themselves are indeed white according to their post. This person no longer lives in reality, but a polarized, fabricated world of their own creation. When they say "white" (passing) jews, they are mentally distancing from their own identity, and community by skin colour. They have convinced themselves that because they are not "white", they cannot be an oppressor (racism as well as even they admit they are, in fact white, and able to pass as white) This is where dissonance lives. This person has used so many "non white" identifications, they could never be an oppressor right?
Giving Hashem a gender period is wrong. If you actually study Judaism, and even just took a peek into Kabbalah, you'd know G-D has no humanly body, therefore no gender identity. This is why we have started to use "Them" in Torah.
This person has also marginalized themselves so much, to very much push "I'm not white" narrative. Sorry only white people claim to be 1/16 of something and brag about it online...
Nail in the reality coffin: "but I look very WASPy af". So... you're white skinned? You're also a white passing, the type of Jew you just said you hated... 🙄
If you don't know what "WASP" means:

This person clearly lives in their own made up reality. It's actually sadly funny how far they go to tokenize themselves just to be a "white jew" in the end.
P.s: By the way, don't call yourself 1/16th of something, if you're "1/16 Cherokee" you're nothing and have no attachment to that culture so kindly fuck off using that as your "native" tokenism.

Do you ship it?
reason: So, Nintendo will frequently reuse miis in ads and promotional material that they've used before in other media. Alice and Anne were both introduced in Wii Sports Club, and were just prominently featured in the trailer for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. With many hoping the game will feature same-sex relationships (which, based on previous comments regarding the series and Nintendo's own attitude towards gay marriage in defiance of the ban at the time in Japan), many have quickly begun shipping the two together. Never before since Matt have any of Nintendo's generic miis found this degree of notoriety online!
