@rnitsch That's fine. You can follow or unfollow whomever you'd like.

I've never denied that anyone can be racist. I know plenty of racist Jews in Israel, and I know plenty of racist black Americans in the US.

But I have lived this life, and it has been proven to me time and time again that I am Jewish first to everyone, and only white when it is convenient.

History has proven that Europe, and the world at large can not be trusted with it's Jewish populations.

Things are better than they used to be, but they're still not good enough. I'm seeing an upswing of antisemitism in Europe that reminds me of the bad old days and it isn't just "The immigrants".

If that is not visible, or unrecognized than there is a very large, very big issue at hand and crying 'Oh, you're a hypocrite because Jews and Black people can be racist, too' when I never once suggested they couldn't be certainly isn't helping anyone.

@tjemni Israel is very safe. Don't think that it isn't. Still, I worry because Iran is pushing ambitions to become a regional power and Syria is their playground right now.

Here's hoping it's all barking and nothing comes from it.

@freemo In an Ideal world, sure. That's what we'd all want to be.

The thing is, that morals are often questionable and shadowy. Facts, at least, are facts regardless of how you feel about them or believe.

Gotta be honest, I'm pretty dang terrified there's going to be trouble in the north of Israel in the next 2-3 years.

Like war trouble.

@johnrandom@cryptids.online Fair.

@freemo Hahaha. Fantastic!

@freemo Might be a neat thing to try and set up. A challenge, with point system for non-food items used.

copper wires would be free, though. Gotta give at least a little minimum ease of use.

@freemo I think I might allow standard copper wire in the challenge, at least, perhaps a few other items to make it not impossible. Or do it something like a point system- the wires would be free, but other non-food items might cost points based on how likely they are to be used? The idea is to get through on the lowest amount of points, so something that could absolutely not be used would be high points, something we can't figure out a good food version of (like the wires) would be less points.

@spookcentral@cryptids.online I see. So, if I were to ask you what shape a football is, you'd know, yeah?

(I need help drawing a football.)

@freemo I'd love to see that in all honesty. A working radio made from primarily food products.

@spookcentral@cryptids.online Do you really, CJ? I mean... Really?

@freemo You live in a fabulous world of cheese jerky and HAM Radios.

HAM and Cheese for life.

@freemo Cheese Jerky? I.. What?
