Seth Rogen said criticism of Israel is not criticism of Jews or Judaism so as far as the neolibs and chuds are concerned, he's a nazi

Please, he'd just be anti-Semitic.

Seth Rogen is a traitor to all Jews because he doesn't believe Israel is predestined to fight the last battle that will bring Jesus out of retirement and condemn all Jews to hell forever.

Wait, weren't these ISIS talking points as well? Who cares

I'm curious what an Israeli jew thinks a globalist is, since it's usually just an anti-Semitic dog whistle. Commies maybe?

Yeah, their best buddy is Viktor Orbán, whose main schtick is to rally people against the Jewish global conspiracy headed by Soros.

I's just so gross and depressing and the US is bending backwards to basically delegate all their foreign policy decisions to this neo-Nazi hellhole.

I paid about $200 and expected it to be sturdier. Now that I've read about it, it looks like I can count that as a win because if I was out a shitload of money AND some kid shows up, it's like what am I going to do? You know they won't take the kid back and refund my money and I still don't have a headboard, I'd have really been screwed then.

The chart is not placing a value judgement on believing in that tier, it's saying that the entry point to conspiracy theories is observing the insane, abhorrent acts that take place in reality, and trying to construct a worldview that makes sense of a society that allowed them to occur.

Claudia Conway proves that 100% of reviewers who find it "inconceivable" that teen girls would lead revolutions in YA novels, leak information, spy, overthrow governments, etc are wrong and vastly underestimate a well-placed teen girl.

The point is that some conspiracies have actually taken place in reality. Aka governments have done supremely hosed up things to their own people and attempted to keep it hidden from the public.

I wouldnt even call it that hot a take

like yeah, it isn't single handedly saving the world from a generically bad dictator but at that age books aimed at boys have them saving the world from evil with magic swords and such

so a privileged teenager using her power to expose her powerful parent's total bs? why not encourage that?

I think it's more that Young Adult novels and the reviewers who review them have such value to this person that she went out of her way to make this analogy, as a defense of YA.

You know how liches have a phylactory that needs to be destroyed to kill them? That’s a term that Gary gygax coined himself for the original dnd

Google’s results for that are problematic, but “phylactory” does not always mean “tefillah”.

It’s been used for things like, amulets, charms, safeguards, forts, vessels containing holy relics.

Which was Gygax thinking of when he chose it for a lich’s magical item? I don’t know. I’m not his biographer.

e: Whether or not Gygax was antisemitic, the writers of the relevant portion of third edition lore were.

https://twitter.com/briancortijo/status/994609925719515141

e2: Bringing it back to Gygax:

quote:

In the AD&D Monster Manual (1977), the lich was described as needing phylactery to maintain its state as a free-willed, thinking undead monster. At that point, the mention of the phylactery was just a bit flavor text, like that found in many of the Monster Manual entries. It is not clear which meaning of phylactery E. Gary Gygax had in mind, although he was extremely erudite and referenced all sorts of miscellaneous trivia in the AD&D game rules, so I suspect that he probably knew of the Jewish meaning. The accompanying artwork by David A. Trampier showed the monster wearing a crown, with a protruding block on the front that could be either a jewel or a tefillah.

https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/25154/what-is-the-origin-of-a-phylactery-as-a-soul-jar

The item in the illustration looks like a jewel to me, but this early purpose of the phylactery, not protecting the lich’s existence but enabling the operation of its mind, seems to be less in keeping with the alternative definitions of a phylactery.

Seems suspect.
