Quality vs Quantity
Six months ago I noticed a lump on the side of my dogs chest. I knew that sometimes dogs get fatty lumps and so I decided to just watch it and see if it got bigger. Then, 5 months later, I notice [...]

#NetNeutrality is important for everyone, especially women, @jrosenworcel tells @inStyle. “Women know a thing or two about gatekeepers and an open Internet has been extraordinary for them." https://www.instyle.com/celebrity/jessica-rosenworcel-fcc-commissioner
That Wednesday before a week worth of vacation. Wow. The day feels long and it only just started.
On a brighter note, glad to be here with my friends on Mastodon and #qoto in particular!

Antisemitism and Pittsburgh murders. CWed for Length
@rnitsch
Let me also strongly disagree.
The holocaust grew from widespread antisemitism in Europe, an antisemitism that is very old and didn't stop in 1945 (e.g. look at when this crap started, and when it finally was officially banned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Oxner). Look at Henry Ford's support for Hitler and the publications he financed in the US. Look at Hungary's crusade against Soros. Etc. pp.

Regarding "a tiny bit of truth" -- what would that be? Jews being greedy? Black people being less intelligent? Polish people all stealing cars?
Those "jokes" grow from a cultural background, and some people may stop at offending others with their "jokes", while other people may start to kill, but it is based on the same set of common thinking about groups of "others".

Starting off this profile with some inked artwork from 2015-2018. Looking to connect with other artists, I enjoy dark art and video game art.

So. Real talk time
Antisemitism isn't a new thing in the USA. It isn't a new thing in Europe. It's part of the European culture, and to a degree the American culture.
I grew up in the 90s, primarily, and it wasn't uncommon for people to make jokes at the expense of my ethnicity. Even now people will say 'don't Jew me' when talking finances.
People gladly say things to Jewish people and would never say the equivalent to black people, Muslim people, gay people- the list goes on. And when we point it out we're told we're being oversensitive.
Well, here it is. People got murdered and if you don't think this casual racism isn't part of that, I'm afraid we must strongly disagree with one another.
Already, I'm watching people make this a gun-control issue, or an issue of left versus right.
It's not. It's an Antisemitism issue. One that has been there for a very, very long time and isn't going away any time soon.
This will happen again. It isn't a question of if, just when.
Gooood day #QOTO and #Mastodon ! How is everyone doing today?
