I'm very open to just about everything political, and even I just don't care to engage with people who do triple brackets

2019-07-17 01:01:17 UTC  

Also, I suspect it's a bit of a vent.

2019-07-17 01:01:28 UTC  

Yeah it feels good, but it's not helpful

2019-07-17 01:01:49 UTC  

"It's ok to be Jewish" on the other hand is incredibly smart

2019-07-17 01:01:53 UTC  

Several levels smart

2019-07-17 01:02:26 UTC  

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.

2019-07-17 01:02:59 UTC  

Of course they don't make the connection, because it's not an obvious one, and it's also not the most relevant one

2019-07-17 01:03:04 UTC  

Like, you remember the "Queer Kids Stuff" host?

2019-07-17 01:03:09 UTC  

Yeah

2019-07-17 01:03:35 UTC  

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?"

2019-07-17 01:03:53 UTC  

And I'm just sitting their like, "How is it that so many people *don't* know?"

2019-07-17 01:04:17 UTC  

Like, admittedly, some Jews actually really hard to spot, but wow. She was practically a walking stereotype.

2019-07-17 01:04:21 UTC  

Because people consider it irrelevant

2019-07-17 01:04:27 UTC  

I consider it irrelevant, too

2019-07-17 01:04:46 UTC  

Most people don't even know what to look for, that it can be looked for, or why it might be useful to know.

2019-07-17 01:04:59 UTC  

Look

2019-07-17 01:05:03 UTC  

It's the selective bias problem

2019-07-17 01:05:16 UTC  

You think you spot a pattern, but in fact you're only looking at the pattern and not everything surrounding it

2019-07-17 01:05:24 UTC  

Of course you'll think the pattern is strong, even when it's not

2019-07-17 01:06:24 UTC  

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.

2019-07-17 01:06:51 UTC  

My point is though that it's irrelevant, because it doesn't solve the problem even if you're aware of it

2019-07-17 01:07:15 UTC  

What matters is the core issue, and that is the propagation of open borders despite all the horrors it entails

2019-07-17 01:07:42 UTC  

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.

2019-07-17 01:08:18 UTC  

I'm only saying it's not helping the cause of controlled borders

2019-07-17 01:09:01 UTC  

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.

2019-07-17 01:09:03 UTC  

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

2019-07-17 01:09:16 UTC  

How does that help anyone?

2019-07-17 01:09:58 UTC  

They don't even want to comment in these places out of fear that their family members might see it

2019-07-17 01:10:03 UTC  

So they don't even sub to the channels

2019-07-17 01:10:10 UTC  

Or their bosses

2019-07-17 01:10:17 UTC  

Colleagues, etc.

2019-07-17 01:10:19 UTC  

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.

2019-07-17 01:10:28 UTC  

Yeah but

2019-07-17 01:10:37 UTC  

You can do that with the positive strategy, as you mentioned before

2019-07-17 01:10:50 UTC  

Triple brackets are negative reinforcement, it turns people away

2019-07-17 01:10:52 UTC  

That's why I proposed the other strategy.

2019-07-17 01:10:57 UTC  

Yes, and I agree with that one

2019-07-17 01:11:17 UTC  

And the Brackets is a kind of "door in face" tactic, more than anything, when practiced outside circles of people who are already aware.

2019-07-17 01:11:40 UTC  

I can assure you that one does more harm than good

2019-07-17 01:11:53 UTC  

There just isn't any equivalently punchy method of acknowledging Jews, unfortunately.

2019-07-17 01:12:09 UTC  

And it also serves as a kind of shit test.
