I'm very open to just about everything political, and even I just don't care to engage with people who do triple brackets
Also, I suspect it's a bit of a vent.
Yeah it feels good, but it's not helpful
"It's ok to be Jewish" on the other hand is incredibly smart
Several levels smart
Like, it's actually super frustrating to hear normies talk about someone who is inexplicably hostile to whites, or to nationalism, or to christianity, or promoting some variant of poz, and not make the connection that they're also Jewish.
Of course they don't make the connection, because it's not an obvious one, and it's also not the most relevant one
Like, you remember the "Queer Kids Stuff" host?
Yeah
Some folks on twitter acknowledged to her that she was Jewish, and she got confused and freaked out, she was like, "How did they know?"
And I'm just sitting their like, "How is it that so many people *don't* know?"
Like, admittedly, some Jews actually really hard to spot, but wow. She was practically a walking stereotype.
Because people consider it irrelevant
I consider it irrelevant, too
Most people don't even know what to look for, that it can be looked for, or why it might be useful to know.
Look
It's the selective bias problem
You think you spot a pattern, but in fact you're only looking at the pattern and not everything surrounding it
Of course you'll think the pattern is strong, even when it's not
It's a reasonably strong pattern. At least insofar as politics and culture are concerned. There are supposedly a ton of Jews who behave in a significantly less memey fashion, but they just don't seem to have as much of a political or cultural presence.
My point is though that it's irrelevant, because it doesn't solve the problem even if you're aware of it
What matters is the core issue, and that is the propagation of open borders despite all the horrors it entails
There's also the signal boosting effect of Jewish networking. Like, often they'll know someone who knows someone, and so a lot of the people pushed to the forefront on cultural issues, or even who manage certain media entities, tend to be Jewish. Not that they can't find plenty of goyim to do that stuff, but well, knowing people can get you places.
I'm only saying it's not helping the cause of controlled borders
Noticing the Jewish pattern is important, because it is a factor, no not the only one, and part of solutions is just figuring out what people want, and why.
People are immediately turned off just by seeing triple brackets, the image that pops up in their head is that of a bunch of Neo-Nazi scum creating a comment chain
How does that help anyone?
They don't even want to comment in these places out of fear that their family members might see it
So they don't even sub to the channels
Or their bosses
Colleagues, etc.
Because basically, it means that the solution involves establishing a paradigm where Jews don't feel as if they need to do this in order to feel secure in host nations. Well, the *peaceful* solution, at least. Which I certainly hope can be achieved.
Yeah but
You can do that with the positive strategy, as you mentioned before
Triple brackets are negative reinforcement, it turns people away
That's why I proposed the other strategy.
Yes, and I agree with that one
And the Brackets is a kind of "door in face" tactic, more than anything, when practiced outside circles of people who are already aware.
I can assure you that one does more harm than good
There just isn't any equivalently punchy method of acknowledging Jews, unfortunately.
And it also serves as a kind of shit test.
