    You are welcome to look at my comment history and see how many other times I have talked about being Jewish.

      I really don’t care. There were Jews that joined the Nazi party. Historically being Jewish hasn’t exactly been a prophylactic against being a part of antisemitic movements. You may think you can win over the violent elements in a movement to only hate a subset of Jews so you’ll be fine. But when there’s a night of the long knives you find out only the opinions of those with the knives really count in these kinds of movements. And they aren’t going to care that you were “one of the good ones” when the knives come out.

      They already don’t seem to care what kind of Jew goes to the synagogues they shoot at.

          On the internet nobody knows you’re a dog.

          You can be whatever you want to be. Not sure why you’re playing the role of useful idiot for an antisemitic movement, but if you want that to be your internet persona, then no one can stop you. Just like no one can stop me from pretending from posting what I want even if I might be a dog in real life. Woof!

              A lot of people think that how they identify makes them magically immune to propaganda. The reality is thinking you can’t be scammed because of who you are makes you more vulnerable to being scammed.
