Zionists want you to conflate Judaism and Zionism. Zionists want you to believe that Judaism cannot exist without Zionism and that all Jews are Zionists. Zionism would have Jews believe that a Jewish state is the only way that they can be safe from antisemitism and will point to any instance of antisemitism as proof that Zionism is the solution- so Zionism wants gentiles to be antisemitic in their support of Palestine. They want you to conflate all Jews with Zionism and the state of Israel, and they want you to treat all Jews regardless of political affiliation as the face of Israel. Antizionist Jews exist, and incidences of antisemitism ostensibly acting against Zionism will not help dismantle the forces propping Zionism up.
Don't do their work for them.

I feel like I'm going insane. That episode read to me as a lot more tragic than other people are reading it. Yeah they were racist and rich and spoiled and awful but they were just kids. They were all just kids. Lindy was absolutely terrified throughout the whole thing and clinging desperately to what she knew, which was terrible. They could've had the chance to learn and become better but they chose to go die and it's infuriating and tragic because nobody deserves that. Nobody deserves to be eaten by slugs or die of exposure in the woods. Nobody deserves to suffer like that. But they chose it rather than let the Doctor help them because they'd rather stay in their rich white supremacist bubble and he just wants to help and there's nothing he can do.
Maybe it's because one of my core beliefs is that nobody deserves death and suffering. Nobody. Even the worst person on earth can learn from their mistakes and come back and change and everyone deserves that chance. There's no such thing as too late. But they're never going to get that chance because they actively rejected it and to me that's still very, very sad.

Try though I may not to get invested in people who are Perfect Strangers to me just because they have an affable online persona, I do find myself very endeared to Brandon Sanderson. I have read none of his books, but I think his YouTube videos are very enjoyable and I am much relieved that he has both vocally affirmed his support of LGBTQ+ people in general, and trans people specifically, and has apologised (in a way that seems very sincere and earnest to me) for clumsy and unintentionally homophobic things he has said in the past. Which is, like, more than can be said of some fantasy authors.

sometimes i do think about what it means for michael to be so close and open with adam when throughout the entire show the only love he's shown anyone has been from a distance, with the ONE exception being the one time he told lucifer it was good to see him and asks him if he's ready in swan song. and even then he turned harsh the minute lucifer tried to actually speak to him. he never even mentions gabriel or raphael other than a "my brothers are dead" in 15x08 and the other angels were nothing more than subordinates to him. even with god he was more concerned with faith and loyalty than actual love. he even admits that of everything he did it was never because he was concerned with love when it came to god! but with adam he really did open up. he really did listen to him and was listened to in turn. even after their argument michael still checked adam's wrists over after they were released from the handcuffs and still handed him control with no qualms whatsoever when dean asked to speak with him. any love michael's felt he's always felt at a distance he's always been the good son first and anything else second but there was such a closeness between him and adam that defied everything. literally everything!
