In Israel, we use Gett. It's fine.
Of course plenty of criticism of Israel is valid and not anti-Semitic.
It is also true that plenty of anti-Semites love to criticize Israel.
Recently, folks at Rutgers have been criticizing Campus Hillel as a Zionist organization. The place where your average secular Jewish college students gets Challah bread once a semester. Yet saying "that is anti-semitic" invites a whole bunch of people to whitesplain to you why it isn't.
The feces problem in SF is exacerbated by opiates. Heavy opiate use causes extreme constipation and opiate withdrawal causes the opposite. Housing and drugs are the top of funnel problems in SF contributing to everything else. New York City seems to not have anywhere near the level of public feces as SOMA / Downtown SF even throughout the pandemic.
I never made the appointment because it would have been really difficult to separate the writing from the person. However, that is on him! Plenty of mental health professionals blog and see patients.
Music and Arts are a hellhole for this kind of stuff
It is so sad that we, humans in general, devote so many resources to devising bigger and better means of violence.
However, through my partner I am friends with many classical singers. They are absolutely worried about damaging their instrument.
The conclusion Yarvin draws is so stupid IMO but people should know how much of a gatekeeper he desires to be with this platform.
It wasn't healing and it turned out he had an undetected issue processing folic acid I believe, which has an effect on how your body heals from neurological damage. He's recovering now after 3 months but has to take folic acid and other supplements 5 times a day.
Other friends have had persistent diminished lung capacity for months on end; these are folks who had no co-morbidities and in their 20s.
Why do so many folks buy this bullshit about American schooling? Sure, we've got SATs and standardized tests but schools also have jazz bands, rock ensembles, student written plays and musicals.
Hell my failing public high school had plenty of room for self-expression, it wasn't the sort of conformist prison PG thinks to seem schools are, it just wasn't a very good school. No one was going to punish you for writing an essay or starting a club or anything else.
My university, one likely to be accused of 'credentialism' also had the gamut of clubs: campus crusade for christ down to groups for divesting from Israel to Zionist groups, to LGBT groups, etc, etc, etc.
Its just bullshit.
