No this is not a /pol/ post, I am genuinely curious if anyone has bothered studying the Talmud and discovered anything noteworthy in it.
Marx's criticism of the ethnoreligious character of Jewishness is sufficient enough, but why not study it and see the origins? There are countless Jewish sects, there are even ultraorthodox Jews in neighborhoods like Mea Shearim in Israel who despite coming from the same teachings come to an entirely different conclusion and end up opposing Zionism and the Zionist state. Of course all of this boils down to religious mysticism, but I can't help but wonder if there is any "in the know" content that gives leverage to Judaism by economic means.

The Talmud is supposed to be a prolonged dialogue and debate between different rabbis from different generations seeing the extent of Jewish law, going to extremes in writing ridiculous stuff like endorsing child marriage and hostilities towards non-Jews.

There was a sect of Islam which more or less went through the same, but I forgot what they were called, the general idea was to try and see the extent of what is allowed in Islam and what can be the definitive Islamic law which I'm unsure if it lead to Shariah or if its unrelated.

Most of it is probably nonsense like this

Why do you care about what we believe?

>>2432626
Looking for different perspectives / analysis of the Talmud's content

>>2432627
You can watch lectures online. Or have a discussion with an actual rabbi.

I remember trying to read the King James version of the Old Testament, reading the part about God parting the waters and going “wow cool” then there were a bunch of names just getting listed and I dropped it immediately

>>2432637
I don't want opinions from rabbis, I want to see what "the left" (wing of capital)'s opinions about it

The problem is that any serious analysis of the Talmud and even the Torah but especially the Talmud will always be a /pol/ post due to the contents within being often unironically deranged.
Mind you the Talmud has the excuse of being reddit archives from opinions from rabbis before the internet, but still.
>see the extent of what is allowed in Islam and what can be the definitive Islamic law which I'm unsure if it lead to Shariah or if its unrelated.
The Abrahamic god openly allows rape and slavery so.

>>2432640
That doesn't have much to do with the Talmud's real contents which mainly focus on law and ethics rather than biblical tales / fables that are always obtuse. The Old Testament starts off with listing a bunch of names to show the ancestry, but that has nothing to do with real historical records or why they bother tracing a lineage from the beginning of the story, there is always a hidden motif behind this.

>>2432647
Yeah I didn’t get to the part where Isaac is trying to do cousin incest

>>2432646
>the Talmud will always be a /pol/ post
How come they're allowed to discuss it and pick it apart when we can't? They have the lamest takes and drop it after the first controversial topic encountered, there is no analysis (vidrel) its just whining. They don't ever wonder why its written, its just "they're evil, that's why they write evil things!".

>>2432647
The Talmud is also mostly about the pragmatic ways to apply Jewish Law. It’s about praxis and turning the spiritual into the material.

>>2432651
No I mean by definition discussing it defaults to antisemitism, and the original was written by deranged tribalists so.

>>2432658
Criticism of Judaism and its analysis has nothing to do with antisemitism, the label is also wrongly appropriated to dismiss any criticism of "Jewishness", the original word itself doesn't just refer to the Jewish people though but various ethnolinguistic people belonging to the Semitic languages, which funnily enough includes Arabs.

>>2432613
I read the Pirkei Avot which is a section of the Talmud that is solely based on wisdom and not intertwined with pharasaic legalism (that has no meaning for me as a gentile) which is quite funny considering it's less than 100 pages compared to the multiple volumes of the Talmud as a whole

>>2432670
Any noteworthy takes from it?

>>2432670
I should add it did have wisdom about business but it was mostly unremarkable (I read it a long time ago and forgot most of it)

>>2432671
I'll take another peek and get back to you later

Kharijites, the OG ultras

>>2432665
Retarded semantics, by that definition the Palestine Israel conflict is an inner community conflict and still not antisemitic. We both know what it really means.


>>2432685
Its just language games as usual.

the talmud is supposed to be a bunch of debates between rabbis 200-500 CE. It's basically written between the birth of christianity and the birth of islam. so it's not like the old testament which predates christianity and islam. I think in that sense it can be seen as coping with the jewish loss of abrahamic monopoly, as other abrahamic religions began to form. but it's also coping with the destruction of the 2nd temple by rome. it's written during a time of coping and seething. that's basically my take on it.

>the content is disgusting and gross.


well same with the old testament. the old testament has a bunch of genocide and rape and shit in it directly commanded by god. I think christians like to focus on the talmud specifically because most christians refuse to distance themselves from the old testament (unless you're like a jeffersonian secular "christian") but they have no trouble distancing themselves from the talmud which was written after christianity came about. The talmud is a point of contention because it's what christians and muslims point to to distance themselves from jews despite basically being modified forms of judaism themselves.

flood detected

>>2432665
ironically the term "antisemitism" (not the root word semitic, but the derived word "antisemitism") was first used by anti jewish germans in the 1800s who founded an "antisemitic league." I doubt the technicality of what "semitic" really means matters much to them. Nowadays Jewish supremacists use the word antisemitic as a (more often than not false) accusation to silence critics of their supremacism far more often than people use it as a legitimate self description, which was its original "intended" use. Language is always in motion and the definitions of words are mostly "decided" through how they are used. That is to say, if the vast majority of people start to use a word "wrong" that "wrong" way eventually becomes the "right" way. Linguists noticed this a long time ago.

I did read part of it that was religious anti-Zionist Jews apparently cite to argue their position, and I was wondering what that was about. Now, a big thing in that is still returning to the land of Israel but it's only after the messiah returns and it goes into some detail about how that happens, and it involves the resurrection of the dead which reminded me of Beetlejuice. Also there are rabbis who are debating the finer points in the section:
https://www.sefaria.org/Ketubot.111a.6?lang=bi

>>2432642
It's kind of unavoidable. I think of it like the Simpsons bit about Krusty's rabbi father who has Jews in their neighborhood coming up to him and asking if it's okay to do things. "Can you rephrase that as an ethical question?"

>>2432653
Yeah that's a good way of describing it. Praxis-oriented. It's more about what you do than what you believe. This is why Orthodox Judaism is so structured in how it orders people's lives. There's less emphasis on heaven/hell, but a vaguer "world to come" which can be a spiritual afterlife or messianic future era. It makes sense why so many Jews found communism attractive at one point.

>>2432613
>Of course all of this boils down to religious mysticism, but I can't help but wonder if there is any "in the know" content that gives leverage to Judaism by economic means.
I mean this is a fascination with people, and in Asia there's a whole genre of the "Jewish secrets of money" which are presented as oddly philosemitic get-rich-quick guides. But I don't think there's any big mystery to it, or that you're going to find any "secret knowledge."

Again, praxis. It's actually doing the things. They're a highly disciplined tribal minority that prizes education among their own people, plus they stick together and maintain certain practices like keeping kosher which maintains a degree of distance, and also networking opportunities. To say it nicely, it's "strong family and community ties" and "seizing opportunities." These are conducive traits to make money. They were often excluded from land ownership and guilds in medieval Europe, so they went into trade and finance and moneylending, which all transferred well into modern capitalism.

Nothing special. There's no "secret to success." And they never made all the money. In the modern world, there's a lot of money held by different national, social, ideological and professional groups. You might say more and more people have become "Jews."

yeah resurrection in judaism/jewish mythology is really interesting to me, it's not like christrian resurrection where you get a new body, your soul literally goes back to your corpse and reanimates it, with heavenly strength and shit

the old testament deity is literally the devil of the new testament (john 8:39-47, revelation 3:9, revelation 13:2 - hosea 13:4-8), so their abridgement is a failure on the part of mainline christianity, but obviously preserved on the part of the gnostics. paul was also clearly gnostic, so that adds to it.

>>2433352
gnosticism isn't real, never existed, and no the "devil" of the new testament is literally belial, as in the old testament too, they literally call him "the ruler of this world", which is used exclusively to refer to demons, particularly belial

>>2433363
you clearly never read the verses i posted. read them and tell me what they can be interpreted to mean.

>>2433371
first one is about the conflation of official judaism and its religious authorities (the second temple, the sanhedrin, etc) with belial and other demons, this is also true of the second, not true for the third one and fourth ones, but the third and the forth is about the lion symbology of god, which literally has nothing to do with that "gnosticism" idea invented in the 18th/19th century, since the lion symbology just means lion of judah, which you may or may not have heard about before, basically you're a pseud

>first one shows how jews worship the christian devil
1:0
>same as the second
2:0
>not true for the third or fourth
<third and fourth literally describe yhwh as the beast of the sea in revelation
>mindless insults
lets go over the comparisons to make it clearer:
>hosea 13:7-8
<So I will be like a lion to them, like a leopard I will lurk by the path. Like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will attack them and rip them open; like a lion I will devour them— a wild animal will tear them apart.
is this the loving christian God, first of all? but secondly, lets see the animal symbolism: a lion, a leopard, a bear, and finally, an admission that this deity is a wild animal; a beast.
lets compare this to daniel 7:3-8
>Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea. The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle […] And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear […] After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard […] It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns (dragon).
so the exact symbols which yhwh uses to describe himself. lets read further in this chapter (7:9-14):
>thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat […] I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire […] there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
so clearly this is about "the ancient of days" (the heavenly father) coming into conflict with the beast, and finally, the son of man (messiah) ruling forever. this is repeated in revelation, but lets see the beast:
>The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. [revelation 13:2]
who is this beast? yhwh. who worships yhwh? jews. who worships in a synagogue of satan? you tell me.
but further, animal symbolism is used to describe divinity, but never such it is as with the beast. in ezekiel, there are 4 heavenly creatures; a lion, an eagle, a man and a bull. this is repeated in revelation, where Jesus is also symbolised as a lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes, as opposed to the dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns. christianity is inherently antisemitic in its foundations, which is incontestable, and why you throw insults at me instead of rationally arguing the case.
4:0

>>2433433
you are extracting this to fit your preconceived idea, let's understand this, in anti-establishment second temple judaism (which mind you was not just christianity) regularly made similar comparisons, they called the heads of the mainline religion satanic, traitors, and so on, why you might ask? because they were trying to oppose the mainstream line of judaism, for which there were hundreds of sects in its day, in fact that you are saying "well the lion is a beast in revelation!!!!!!" and then ignoring the lion of judah, a symbol that predates it, and one that is regularly seen as a symbol of god, and not the lion beast in revelation, if you cannot understand this, you need to actually look into the topic more

>>2433437
and mind you i'm insulting you for not being able to recognize that this is the intent of these verses, if you cite the synagogue of satan verse without first mentioning that this was a political move to increase jewish conversion to christianity by using the hatred of its (former) central authority, then i'm gonna insult you for it, i'm also gonna insult you for ignoring other things and pushing ideas not even accepted in academia anymore like gnosticism

>>2433437
you keep focusing on the lion and not the other symbols for your own biased purposes. you already admitted that the two primary verses i posted denote the accusation of satanism against jews, yet when it comes to "the synagogue of satan" you flinch. lets just be consistent.
>>2433441
and WHY did christians hate judaism? what is their oppositional theology? that their god is the devil.

>>2433452

Btw Israel exist precisely because american christians love Israel more than their own country.

It's just a bunch of primitive nonsense like the Torah/Bible, Koran, etc., only with even more verbosity as derivative material.
The only remotely interesting thing to come out of Judaism is Kabbalah, but only after the gibberish has been cycled through dozens of Westoid occult pens, and only as a secular poetic device that shouldn't be taken too literally.

Also the serious answer is that jews generally believe that the messiah will bring about the kingdom of god or the end times or whatever upon his arrival. Jesus didn't do that, thus they reject him as the messiah

>>2432642

It's an interesting glimpse into what people's morals and values were like 3,000 years ago and that's about it.

The Code of Hammurabi is also neat I guess, but what relevance does any of this have for people today?

It's actually debated what Kingdom of God means after the destruction of the Temple. Many Ultraorthodox Jews disagree with Zionists that this literally means the physical place of the Levant.

Early Jews were also henotheists, and it still has those tendencies - meaning they have one God but other people can have their God too. Christians are for Jews mislead because they still subscribe to Jawhe but wrongly think Jesus is the messiah.

I also don't know how racialzed Judaism is. I mean you have Ethiopian Jews and Kazar Jews. Zionists are racist because they are mostly Ashkanazi, so inherited a white people mentality with them.

Oh my fucking god you retards need to get a grip. Arab Jews are just as anti-Arab if not moreso than the Ashkenazi. Jewish supremacism comes from the fact that they desire the dispossession of non-Jews, not because they have the Yakubian genes.
Israel is, in the main, a JEWISH supremacist project, not a white supremacist project.

Yeah. I think a lot of these thuggish Mizrahi guys can be like guys who think Tony Montana from Scarface is an aspirational figure. This pic of the football ultras is Beitar Jerusalem. But there's a lot of shitheaded reactionary mobsters around the world. It's not exclusive to any one race. You can find Palestinian guys like that.

Leftists don't like to phrase it in terms of Jewish supremacy or tribalism (or maybe Jewish chauvinism, that's a useful word) because they fear it will give ammunition to the far right and people like Nick Fuentes. Or maybe they're just not used to seeing Jews like this. They're used to American liberal Jews. But while Fuentes may be opposed to Jewish supremacy and tribalism, he doesn't seek to overcome a world ripped apart by nationalism and tribalism. I don't listen to him, but I'm presuming he doesn't. He might dress it up in some highbrow way where we have our own ethnostate here, and they have an ethnostate there, and we'll all get along.

Some of these rightists are shocked now that Trump is very pro-Israel. Of course he is. But it's not like THEY had any responsibility for pumping a mentality into their political culture that says: nationalism, bullying, sadism, shamelessness, power-worship, success-worship, and successful cruelty is very good and very much the point of their politics. And that is in some way connected to the basic psychology of fascism. Bibi is a bloodstained crook? Well, the truth is, Trump admires that in him. That attitude is what a lot of these guys admired in Trump.

>contradictions between old testament deity and Jesus
yes, because they are entirely separate beings. Jesus NEVER refers to "the father" as yhwh, yet he says that jews are devil worshippers. yhwh describes himself as the beast of the sea, further described in daniel and revelation - where messiah and "the ancient of days" defeat the beast. jews reject the messiah, so what does that tell you?

Don't listen to /pol/ about the Talmud. The most concerning thing about Judaism itself is circumcision, especially since it's such a staple it applies to ~98% of religious Judaism, excluding only the progressives among progressives who are a tiny sliver.
The stuff about gentiles being subhuman is a misunderstanding, if not an outright fabrication. In actuality the Talmud tends to be overly sensitive to other people. https://halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Embarrassing_Others
This is an example. It says to literally throw yourself into a furnace and kill yourself rather than embarrass someone.

>>2435277
are you seriously claiming that jews dont see non-jews as lesser beings?

>>2435286
Yes. Don't take it up with me, take it up with your misunderstanding of the "chosen people" concept, which I assume that's about.

>>2435286
Well on second thought, no, I'm not literally saying no Jews ever believed this. You also have Christians who never read the Christian Bible and don't follow Christianity, yet we call them Christians. But I would say Judaism doesn't see gentiles as lesser beings, yes.

>>2435288

but on the topic - why would a jew ever feel superior to gentiles in the first place unless it was doctrinal? where in the jewish texts does it infer that jews and non-jews are equals? it will be impossible to find it.
>>2435297
even if you post it, it will be seen as a "hoax", so dont even bother with these liars.

>>2435294
It's like saying a Catholic priest is chosen for certain roles, except extended to a whole group of people. There were also groups within Jews like the Kohens chosen for specific tasks and this could be hereditary. Since Jews treat converts as full Jews, it doesn't have anything to do with blood relations and it's not a racial supremacist ideology.

>>2435297
Jesus's actual name was roughly "Joshua". This was a typical name at the time like "John" or something. The Talmud entry you're referring to just refers to a story with a guy called Joshua and some Christians tried to say it was about Jesus.

>Gaza genocide
>killing Christ
Funny how only one of those is an historical fact

The main bad thing about Judaism is that Jews are slaves to Yahweh I. The thing they are "chosen" for is slavery. Think about it: only slaveowner would designate "their" people by (destructively and painfully) marking their bodies without consent!

>>2435321
This is why the early Christians swapped out bodily circumcision for salvation of the soul (metaphorically referred to as circumcision of the heart) and why gnostics even went out of their way in some sects to designated the God of the old testament as an evil demiurge who only created the fallen physical world, and not the souls.

Islam meanwhile is actually quite similar to Judaism, retaining circumcision in many sects as well as similar dietary restrictions, and the word Islam itself means "Servitude" (towards God)

>>2435277
> The most concerning thing about Judaism itself is circumcision
pretty sure God commanding genocide int he old testament and Jewish supremacists committing genocide right now are more "concerning" than circumcision which is also practiced by Muslims and American Christians/nonreligious.

>>2435286
>are you seriously claiming that jews dont see non-jews as lesser beings?
This is called a "superiority complex." You can find Jews who will say (between themselves) that they're superior to other people and that's why they're hated. "You hate us because you ain't us" is the motto. This is born from their own self-isolationism, and certain practices they do which creates some distance between themselves and others (eating kosher, attending ethno-religious synagogues). This can produce megalomania in people. Other examples: white nationalists, gay men (have gay sex which other people don't do, think they're Alexander the Great).

Classic gay megalomania right there.

Also white nationalists constantly "Jew" their own followers. There was one guy who made some crypto coin recently that was supposed to be "Jew free" or something and he rugpulled them. This keeps happening.

In my opinion there's nothing particularly unique or special about the Talmud or Judaism compared to other religious doctrines of the ancient Middle East and its moral sentiments are largely derived from pagan sources anyway.

>I am genuinely curious if anyone has bothered studying the Talmud and discovered anything noteworthy in it.
its cute how liberal bourgeois critique of religion begins and ends at theology

>>2435653
reading religious documents isn't theology it's just the secular study of religious documents, a part of religious studies. Deliberately interpreting and criticizing religious documents from a theological perspective with the intent of building your own counter-theology, now that's theology.

>>2435832
>the secular (cope removed) study of religious documents is not theology
lol k

>>2435649
"Pagan religions" is just a Christian supremacist term for literally any non-abrahamic religion so yeah if you lump them all together as one phenomenon you can say that. That's a rhetorical trick.
>>2435435
>The Jews did kill Christ.
The catholics killed mah boi Giordano Bruno, who was giga based for his time

>>2435835
An Atheist might read the Quran for example to learn about the culture and society that produced it, instead of to learn about "God" or "angels". That is religious studies, rather than theology. Make sense? This becomes especially relevant when we're studying the history of highly religious cultures who had no clear distinction between religious and secular affairs in their society. To fully understand these cultures, one will inevitably encounter religious documents, which necessitates the secular study of religion. This is relevant not just to history, but to archaeology as well. A materialist understanding of past human society necessitates confronting the idealist and anti-materialist aspects of their cultures.

Oh man. Keep up the good work 🫡

Such powers, well it sure cleaned up in here

>>2436379
if you are giving away your IP you are giving away your geographical location down to the city you live closest to at minimum. if you are using any 3rd party service like proxies or VPNs then they are just middlemen who have the same information. TOR as well has a lot of glow-ish activity - we've been seeing a lot of random exit nodes being opened in tandem with social media pushes for pro-US narratives before they all unceremoniously vanish for years now. and if you are using compromised nodes you can also be tracked via TOR (albeit with more effort).

most spammers though are just throwing money at companies to enable them to be more annoying, so actual opsec doesn't interest them. their critical retardation makes them easy to counter though, and our glorious benefactors at [your latest VPN service here] pay us a premium in hot pockets to have these whales continually relocate VPN services to skin those varmints for all they are worth.

>>2436433
Just get Tor Browser. It's simple, reskinned Firefox with Tor "built in" or something, I don't know shit.
And use any VPN, you can 'plug-in' "for example" ProtonVPN into Chrome. Haven't had any issues but the chrome "veiling" is unimportant anyway.

>>2436436
There is, I'm on it, its just that if you've already made a digital footprint whats done is done and there is no going back until the data centers / servers have been burned down.

cmon anons how can you possibly be so naive

>>2436468
If they have access to it, then like I said >>2436446
I'm already on the most "private" option, they will just take one look and go "oh, one of our colleagues is here" and to you good glowing sirs I say yes I am here and they should raise the pay.

>>2436486
Though probably not, you guys don't consider us as colleagues because we're in the private sector.

>>2436380
You are a moderator on an online imageboard.
We all know you have never penetrated a woman.

>>2436433
The best opsec is to blend into the crowd imho. A VPN is pretty commonplace for piracy and whatnot anymore so you can just use your home IP for any innocuous services and then switch on a VPN for anything which you might prefer to stay hidden. While in theory your home IP can be used to get your somewhat-precise location, without other identifying information (which you would have to provide) that is kind of useless due to modern population density. Unless your doing shit illegal enough online that your ISP has been served a warrant, but in that case you are just being stupid. Keep a clean digital image where you do not reveal much of your public life and avoid links between you and any identifiable information, and especially don't have social media presences on things like facebook or discord without a healthy degree of separation from your real identity. Ultimate rule, though, is to restrict any truly risky communications to physical handoff or direct communication only.

Using something like TOR is secure in theory but few enough people are using it that your use of it makes it noteworthy, and if you are doing things of interest it will only draw more attention to you in the long run (see TOR-routed drug trafficking services which died out while clearnet drug trafficking services which use regular store services as a frontend still persist).

>>2436599
what if that moderator however, has penetrated a man? would that be enough for you?

>>2432658
>the original was written by deranged tribalists so.
the talmud was actually written by early medieval city dwelling rabbis not by "tribalists"

i like how this thread has become about internet privacy, but yeah that's basically the method of any "efficient" online privacy, you need to be so normal that you just look like background noise

>>2434642
and yet christians continue to lump the old testament in with the new testament without any denouncing commentary and take it seriously. but then a small gnostic subsect wants to cope and be like "we christians aren't actually just judaism 2.0 ackshually because umm umm in my headcanon YHWH is the devil"

>>2437316
the funniest thing is that this isn't really true either, the idea of gnosticism is interesting but it's a creation of modern historigraphy, not an actual, historical phenomena, all i can say about it is that "DA DEMIURGE" is literally just the demon belial, the "ruler of this world" that's gotten from the greek word archon, but people for whatever reason think of that as an entire separate entity despite not being such, it's really strange

>>2437320
>the funniest thing is that this isn't really true either, the idea of gnosticism is interesting but it's a creation of modern historigraphy, not an actual, historical phenomena
I know but I didn't want to burden my simple post with that kind of aside

>your use of it makes it noteworthy
Yeah, I don't really think so.
Or I would if my old IT teacher hadn't installed Tor Browser on every school PC (but he also had every PC, I think, dual boot Loonix and Windows, man was unusual in that). Guy changed my life, in a small way, anyway.
Beyond that, I firmly believe if I am noteworthy (a POI) I am for wholly different reasons than shitposting on the intertubes.
There was some time ago, these encampments going on all over the west. So I was at one for a brief time until they shut it down. And I know for a fact (this was in the news), there were several (!) glow agencies there (and a K-9 unit when they stormed the thing).
Anyway, I wasn't there for the final confrontation but I visited for the short time it was alive.
And this encampment wasn't one of the big ones. We hadn't yet constructed barricades (like, I believe, the lads and lasses in the Netherlands) which turned out to be a mistake. However, everyone was there, there was the jews, the queers and old arab mothers brought us food. Good times all around.
That is to say, I enjoy paranoia but since I do things in the real world I am more chilled out about my internet footprint.
Think, what it is you are really doing? Are you funneling money/resources to the Evil terrorists what hate us for our Freedom(tm)? No, then it's probably whatever.

>the idea of gnosticism is interesting but it's a creation of modern historigraphy,
<"its a misconception that people in the past thought that they lived in a hell-world controlled by a literal anti-God. They were just a weird cult with baffling, incoherent critique of pagan sex temples that pretend to be righteous followers of the old laws. Its just a weird coincidence how capitalists today are also virtue signalling rapists who groom their daughters into being pagan sex objects to sell to men to consume their virgin flesh. So weird how people use Gnostic religious discourses to talk about Jeffrey Epstein's priest class of PMC writers at The Atlantic"
Joe Rogan guys today frequently engage in Gnosticoid discourses about "take the red pill", "stay woke", "NoFap antinatalism is our only resistance against our domestication into being human cattle" etc. I bet the original crust punk hippies who lived 2000 years ago were saying the same bullshit. Some things never change

Also the forced removal by the police was hilarious, I so which I had been there.
A couple people fled the police up into trees, hurling abuse at the coppers and couldn't be removed until the next morn.

>>2437529
It can have some funny moments for sure, when you see people bonk cops on the head or throw chairs at them or parkour their way out of trouble, but it's also not that nice seeing people get beaten, attacked by dogs or parents getting dragged into police vans while their child remains left behind alone. It's not really that funny all in all

>>2437592
Yeah in that particular instance there wasn't a whole lotta violence. The police wanted to do that shit quiet, from a PR perspective. They came at night, when people were catching some zzzs. Resistance was limited but they moved on in some numbers to block a nearby street.
Also you know Uni, those students are gonna be lawyers and other stuff that can hurt you.

>>2437594
Yeah that's true, fair enough. I remember there also just being a bunch of German/western anarchist types taking the lead (ironic) of the whole ordeal, some of whom had until recently never taken a pro Palestine stance and actively chastised their third world roommate over it a couple months before lol (I know cuz I knew them personally). Not to say it's bad that they changed their tune, but it's just an indication of their political consciousness

>>2437598
Eh yeah there are dumb people everywhere. I am personally not an anarchist, I always thought they have style and flair other anti-capitalists are missing.

>>2437604
Oh yeah it's not to disparage anarchists or anything. Many of them are dedicated comrades who organize a lot and indeed know how to do agitprop. It was more meant as a sort of general outline for what that kind of uni student activist can be like in my experience. Germans should always be regarded with suspicion regarding israel palestine tho, regardless of political persuasion

>>2437610
Germans, like any western population should be regarded with suspicion regarding
everything. After all the shit they pulled with very limited remorse (oh Iraq was a bad idea and Afghanistan and…)
I don't trust em. Not racist just don't like em.

>>2437612
Fair enough and I agree, but as a euroid im telling you germans have a complex regarding israel that should not be overlooked. They even have a whole "left wing" ideological strain that is literally just meant to uphold israel lol
Hate these guys sm lmao

My understanding is that it's like trying to learn Islam from Hadith, in that it's all this contradictory bullshit that is observed in different interpretations which all believe themselves to be the "correct" one. It makes it utterly irrelevant for "learning" anything about the religion when you strip it from its social context. You can't just pick up Hadith to find something and say, "all Muslims believe/do this." They use Hadith to justify themselves, not the other way around. The whole Shia/Sunni split have their own set of Hadiths, among some shared ones.

The reason the Talmud is similar is because people dropping quotes from the Talmud are doing the exact, same thing. They're trying to find that "gotcha" in a vacuum. This is why quote mongering from the Talmud is a favorite pastime for Nazis that graduate from projecting all their Id-like desires onto Jewish people. It's easy to convince dumb people to hold views about an entire ethnicity by pointing to some words in a book, even if the people don't even follow it.

>>2438614
Yeah Talmud is literally a book of early medieval (500 CE) rabbis debating each other. It's not meant to be the final word on anything. But also like who cares. Modern Jewish supremacists will wave an LGBTQIA+ flag and take money/weapons from uncircumcised Christians while slaughtering circumcised Muslim children with very similar dietary restrictions as them. So it's clearly not about that kinda stuff. It's about capitalist imperialism and ethnonationalism, which are both products of a post-Westphalian bourgeois world.
