Fringe - Forced Perspective by David Solomon, Ethan Gross.

[suugrbunz]

Part Two — Main Focus will be Robert ‘Rosie’ Rosenthal, David Solomon, and inevitably the camp Rosie saw when tagging along with the Red Army.

Welcome to part two, you can find part one here. That part is entirely about the Band of Brothers series and Jewish identity. If you enjoy this essay, you'll enjoy the previous one! Find that one here: X

Let's talk about Rosenthal!! Let me start with; love him and this fandom better not overlook his Jewishness in their fics because this man is from… Brooklyn but more specifically Flatbush. Now, I know people who may not know exactly what Flatbush is and why I put any emphasis on that place. Many Yeshivas are in Flatbush and honestly it is very close to Crown Heights. Crown Heights is kind of like the orthodoxy capital of America. So, all that to say; I don't know the form of Judaism he observed but we can deduce he was Jewish and observing the religion. This is also backed by the fact he married a Jewish woman. So, when I say this man was raised Jewish, I mean it. So, don't dwindle him down to tokenism such as saying things about him loving Chanukah. It might be true but people outside of our religion use Chanukah like it's our holiest holiday. It's actually minor. It is important to represent someone who is of any minority correctly and Rosie (mwah) is no different.

Now in the documentary posted after the MoTa series ended we hear firsthand that the Jews of America KNEW what was happening in Europe. Rosie Rosenthal states this. Plain as plain can be. Which was his main motivation for joining the army air force. Rosenthal comes across a concentration camp which is based in truth. If you find this to be tokenism then sorry but you're wrong. In an age where I see people telling Jews that we are drinking children's blood, murderers, and denial of the holocaust. I think incorporating the reality of the sho’ah is essential. When I was doxxed for being Jewish. Fear showing my Star of David necklace— yeah, it is important!

Don't belittle representation of a minority especially if you are not part of the minority. It isn't your place to police if it was tokenism or not.

Let's address the concentration camp scene and its reality. Firstly, the pungently rotten smell of dead bodies permeates throughout the air whilst the Red Army is near it in the scene. We see Rosie is obviously disturbed by the smell and against his better judgement he goes to its source after asking to stretch his legs. In the following scene we see him discover the dead bodies in the camp uniform. Let's discuss this fact first and foremost. As the Red Army and Patton's Army were approaching the camps they did one of three things; Put them on marches to the interior of Germany (we see this happen in the show with POWs), kill everyone in the camp, or abandon the camp. Information on this particular camp leaves me to woefully say; Everyone in this camp was murdered or sent on death marches to a different camp so they couldn't be liberated. The town the concentration camp resided in was liberated by the 2nd Byelorussian front. More information on this camp can be found here: x

In one of the barrack rooms, which happens to be the one Rosie goes into, there were children. There is a drawing of a menorah, a magen David (which he touches), and Yiddish. Yiddish would've been taught more so than Hebrew in the 1800s-1940s European Jewry. Yiddish itself is a dialect of Judeo-Germanic. What does this mean? It means a Diaspora created a dialect using their native tongue and the regional language. Later on, it developed into its own language with its own dialects depending on where they were. Anyway, I shall digress and return to the true topic at hand. During this we see the words translated as; The judge of life will judge for life. It has religious tones to it but I am not here to explain what it may have meant. I'm not a rabbi.

Later on, when he is about to board a plane to go back to England— he encounters a survivor in the town. Their conversation displays something many survivors struggled with— did G-d remember them? How could tatty have forgotten us? Many Jews lost their religious beliefs after this, some stayed steadfast. I'm not sure how I would've reacted but there is no right or wrong way to react. What you see in this interaction is a genuine representation. Additionally, mass immigration and displaced persons camps were common from this point forward for Jewish people. They had to figure out where they were going to be safe.

On the other hand we have David Solomon... We see David Solomon questioned for being Jewish in the POW camp based on name. He is obviously Jewish. In the show, we see in a scene that after being questioned we hear the Major say; “We are all Americans.”. That didn't matter to the Nazis. I am sorry but the last name Solomon and first name David are nearly stereotypically Jewish. In the show and in this essay we need to address; He was treated differently because the Nazi officers knew he was Jewish. In an interview from 1980, also addresses the fact he too knew that there was a degree of persecution of Jews in mainland Europe. Solomon didn't wear his dog tags because it had H for Hebrew on it and the Jews in the military knew— they'd be treated differently. Even without the dog tags around his neck, he was still treated differently. Solomon was separated from the other members of the 100th and was told he was a spy. The reason for suspicion was due to him placing propaganda leaflets on his pyjamas shirts. I need to add he thought he was going home soon which is why he had the leaflets; He'd gotten them from some Royal Air Force plane that emergency landed the night before the downing of his plane and subsequent capture. Then, the day of the mission, he was in pyjamas because he assumed he was going home. Don't ask me. I don't know. All I know is this is genuinely what he said in the interview. Anyway, after this, he was roughly interrogated due to the suspicion of him being a spy (his words but I suspect this means possible torture.). Additionally, he lost around seventy pounds (est~ 190 lbs to 128) by the time he was liberated. David says Jewish American POWs were treated differently but he isn't sure whether or not Jewish POWs were killed. He also stated that amongst the higher ranking officers there was subtle antisemitism but there were some Jewish officers which balanced it out. Among the antisemitic officers, some had little to no care about what was happening to the Jews; Even if they knew. Many were just medal hungry— they wanted their medals, they wanted to look good. It was a lack of humanitarianism within the higher ranks. Finally, David Solomon says he doesn't consider himself a holocaust camp survivor to any degree (not sure who would).

After the war, those who told the stories were the refugees and newspapers. David Solomon met some of these refugees since some of his own (presumably) extended family members hosted refugees during the war. After learning all of the information, he went as far as to question (he admits this was wrong of him to question but) he goes on to say, “Why the atomic bomb wasn't dropped on Germany”.

You can listen to the interview here: x

You can find extra background information that I didn't include but read here: x

The Allies knew what was happening to the Jewish population of Europe. They. Knew. They could've stopped it but let me explain why they didn't. Through the American political lense— they put a quota on specifically Jewish immigration solely because they wanted to keep a majority Christian nation. They turned away Jewish refugees throughout the war. An example of this being Billy Joel’s (bye i keep using him as my example) parents who had to immigrate to Cuba during the duration of the war. After the war, they went to New York. However, a family that also tried going to America were the Franks. Yes, those Franks. Anne Frank, Margot, and Edith would have survived if America didn't refuse them.

(ID: The Doofenshmirtz “If I had a nickel” meme. Top text says “If I had a nickel for every time a piece of media had one sibling get superpowers, but not the other, I’d have two nickels.” Bottom text says “Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.” the bottom panel has two small photos- the one on the right is of a young blonde girl dressed in a pink (various shades) superhero outfit, a tannish hamster dressed in a yellow superhero outfit and orange cape, and a teenage boy in normal clothes- orange vest, green jeans, and brown hair. The girl and hamster are superhero-posing, and the boy is facepalming. The photo on the left has two people, a boy dressed in varying shades of black, wearing a hood and mask. He has his hands on his hips in a superhero pose. Next to him is a younger boy with blonde hair, in regular clothes, looking slightly annoyed. / End ID). 

The two photos are Hamster, Gretel, and Kevin from Hamster & Gretel, and Zack and Luke from My Brother is a Superhero by David Solomon.

helloooo multi happy sts! how would ur blorbos react to meeting a wild bambi?

meant to answer this earlier, i apologize!

oh this is a good question. i'm going to answer for the in seeking paradise crew, because i'm still focusing on that a bit right now! i won't do the whole cast, but i'll do the ones that i think have the widest range of responses as a group!

knives would fucking adore bambi. he loves little animals. he would love to hold her like a baby and kiss her little tummy. he would cry the first time she nips him (she does play-bites sometimes).

salem would love her as well, but she'd also be kinda confused about what to do with a dog that small. she's not used to that. she'd be scared to pick bambi up for fear of dropping her.

david would unfortunately be very afraid of bambi. they don't do well with dogs in general </3 they'd think she's cute but they would respectfully ask to not have to hold her.

romeo strongly dislikes most animals, especially ones that shed. considering the amount of clothing i have that is just covered in bambi hair... yeah </3

luke would fucking adore her, but like salem, he would be confused about what to do with her. i think luke is firmly in the camp of like... he usually dislikes small dogs, but he would be so obsessed with bambi in particular.

cassandra would probably be the most normal. like, oh, that sure is a dog. they'd pat her head but they wouldn't give her much thought.

Wall Street says a Wall Street revival is finally here

Wall Street is surging again. This time, bank executives say it’s for real. Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS), Citigroup (C), Morgan Stanley (MS) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) all reported first-quarter jumps in investment banking. They did so because initial public offerings, bond issuances and in some cases M&A deal making beat analyst expectations. Collectively those revenues at the five…

British billionaire Lord Sugar rips remote work while Zooming in—but he may have a point about mentorship | Fortune

British billionaire Lord Sugar rips remote work—while Zooming in from off-site. But he may have a point that it’s ‘bad for morale, bad for learning’

In a remote interview, the host of the UK version of "The Apprenctice" said no one learns “sitting at home in your pajamas.”

Lord Alan Sugar hates remote work so much he calls in remotely to the BBC to complain about it.

The British billionaire went viral on TikTok for espousing his anti-remote-work views from the comfort of a remote office—but work experts have agreed with much of what he’s saying.

“You don’t learn sitting at home in your pajamas,” the entrepreneur and host of the U.K.’s The Apprentice said. The interview, conducted last week, was part of Sugar’s press tour following the 18th season premiere of The Apprentice. “I’m totally against it, quite frankly. I think it’s bad for morale, bad for learning. I know I learn from being with other people in an office.”

While Sugar has taken a more incendiary stance than most, his opinions are hardly unpopular—especially among older, more established businesspeople.

Citadel CEO Ken Griffin said that failing to work in person is a “grave mistake” and could make it easier for your boss to fire you, since they’re unlikely to know you personally. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon called remote work an “aberration,” and JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon said remote workers at his bank should probably work elsewhere, while Tesla’s Elon Musk took it a step further, saying remote employees are simply pretending to work...."

Can we yeet these selfish mofos, into the Sun? The wealth class in Britain is ALL TRASH. 'LORD Sugar'. JP Morgan regularly involves itself in such things as Trafficking (Epstein) Psyops against America (one of the people involved in QANON, worked at JP Morgan). Goldman Sachs is barely legitimate, itself. And we all know how destructive Apartheid Clyde has been. California shouldn't forget how he cost the state its planned Train system, over an Electric Vehicle stunt.

They want their portfolios to stay up, their physical footprint to block land, and most importantly, to use employees for various manipulations. Work Harassment and Psychological Games come to mind. The negative shit people deal with in an office atmosphere. I really think it's all about Control.

As an FYI, if people really think these men are not inherently evil, just remember the type of films we've been getting lately; most, financed by Wall Street. So much Psychological Horror, Underage Sexual themes, and Hyperviolence. Fight for your right to Remote Work!

“Future In Your Hands” by Sam Feldt & David Solomon (Ft. Aloe Blacc) [Skytech Remix]

We’ve yet to give the original version of this song a listen, but I think it’s safe to say we have already found our favorite rendition. We were lucky enough to stumble upon Skytech’s remix to Sam Feldt and David Solomon‘s electric hit “Future In Your Hands” featuring Aloe Blacc today while working out, and we haven’t been able to take it off repeat since. Let’s be honest; with an all-star…
