Twelve by Pies posted:Which also shows the tweet is loving lying, because Judaism is a +9 for the blue dot and Wicca is +2, so no, Democrats do not have a more favorable view of Wicca than Jewish people. They do have a more favorable view of Wicca than Orthodox Judaism, but that's because (I think) Orthodox Judaism is more conservative than other denominations. They are extremely conservative compared to other denominations so yeah that tracks with your general point.

Neito posted:I feel like you can occasionally make the argument that Doomerism is the left's equivalent; it's not repeating, but it rhymes, as they say. The repeated points, the thought-terminating cliches, the helplessness but also "I'm the only one that can save the world" type poo poo. Occasionally perhaps, in fringe or extreme cases. But I feel like the doomers aren't secretly excited about the prospect of, say, environmental collapse, even more hyperer capitalism fevently and openly dehumanizing, abusing, and exploiting people, they don't actively want the government to crush transpeople or religions outside the mainstream, etc. Just because they can't see a solution to a problen or aren't actively aligned with the steps they see as baby steps so incemental as to be ineffective doesn't mean they eant bad thing to happen. Can't really say the same about the right leaning extremists.

SOme dude was on Mark Kaye yesterday talking bullshit about how work is its own reward, identity, etc. At one point he said something like "if you spend your whole adult life sitting on the couch getting high and playing video games, you'll fail" and also alluded to millenials not working hard and the usual stuff. I wanted to scream into the radio about the consistently rising measurements of worker productivity versus wage compensation and, man, I had to turn it off I was so pissed.

I know this is coming from people who think the calendar stopped in 2008 (if not earlier), but if you're complaining about those lazy, good-for-nothing forty-somethings, you'd think they'd start to wonder if the system is functioning as intended... or at least how they think it's interested.

In the case of Doomers a lot of them don't even bother making significant long term plans. Think about many happy, successful people-would they be where they are if they hadn't planned and adapted along the way? Like an addict in a pit of despair, it can be reassuring that you don't have to plan out tomorrow. Every misfortune and tragedy validates their mindset and reinforces how much of a waste of time it would be to try. People like this often had so little self esteem that they get convinced everyone happy and successful must be a lucky idiot, unlike themselves who are just inevitably cursed so they aren't going to let themselves down.

Decon posted:Group that tends to dislike insular, ultra conservative sects... dislikes the Jewish flavor of insular, ultra conservative sect. To be fair, I think the poll is flawed by not drawing a distinction between "normal" Orthodox Judaism and Haredim. I don't have any particular problem with Orthodox Jews compared to any other observant religious people, but the sick fucks who ostensibly "rule" places like Kiryas Joel are absolutely on my poo poo list. Not because they're Jewish, just because they are a weird cult that abuses people. Judaism is really quite incidental to that, in my view. They draw a distinction between the LDS and FLDS for exactly this reason.

I'm always pretty delicate about talking about them (and literally my local big box stores are next door to Kiryas Joel), but the poo poo they do that gets into the headlines is just awful. Pre-covid in the Hudson valley we were dealing with loving measles outbreaks in these communities. During covid they were breaking all kinds of quarantine rules under cover of religious exemptions (that were found to be completely noncompliant with state rules) which ended up with frequent superspreader events. When asked by the media about noncompliance with public health measures they made the inevitable comparison to the Holocaust. So yeah. Lots of reasons to have a negative perception here. Which have absolutely nothing to do with the vast majority of Jewish folks.

And "punishing" ex-members by threatening access to their family and kids. There was a goon once upon a time from that group, and even without using their real name on the forums, they were tracked and harassed by the group, and they reported their family had been threatened. Make no mistake, they are power-hungry, abusive, conniving bad motherfuckers who do abhorrent things under the colour of their self-serving interpretation of Judaism. I don't think they are representative of Jewish people as a whole, or even of Orthodox Jews -- any more than the Taliban are representative of strictly observant Muslims -- but given the lack of distinction in the poll, it could explain the results.

I don't recall anyone applauding that murder or anything about that day.Enver Zogha posted:
Amway and other MLM's thrive on this mindset and succeed so well in brainwashing people with it that their members honestly believe they are Business Owners (or salespeople at a minimum) when, in reality, all they manage to be are customers for their own "businesses". It's pretty remarkable. People will buy more product to get more points and receive a check every month (that is far less than what they spent on merchandise) and use Amway for every single product they buy. Somehow IBO's they consider this entrepreneurialism. Also, when they fail to get rich, they blame themselves for not working hard enough instead of the lovely pyramid scheme.
