  • As a Jewish person myself its for a few reasons:

    1. We don’t forcibly convert, we also actively convince people not to convert (I mean using every argument possible to convince people). Jewish Philosophy states that if someone is holy enough to go out of their way to join they’re holy enough to be Jewish (the conversion process is long and if it’s not sincere they aren’t accepted).
    2. Jewish power structures have always been contained, in Israel for example Jewish religious leaders have little power.
    3. Judaism has a long history of explosions and being massacred, also forced conversations away from Judaism
    4. Due to Jewish fundementalism its common to see people stop identifying as Jewish. For many people the Jewish community can be extremely hostile and unwelcoming, a few examples include: women, Neurodivergant people, Queer people, people without a Jewish education, people who dont fall into traditional gender roles/expressions, etc




  • Heres my conspiracy theory:

    Political extremism isn’t real (specifically in regards to left wing “extremism”). Its a social construct created by the capitalist class to convince workers that left wing ideologies are scary and having your elections be between two liberals is “normal”. If you ignore that ideologies like Anarchism become common sense. Why do we need lords and masters, why do we need the tyranny of capitalists and the cruel rule of “democratically elected” leaders? Ultimately we do not, the economy would be better if it was owned by the workers and world better if every person was free to be the master of their own life. Capitalists and politicans fully understand this, thats why they pump everyone with propaganda so they can keep their positions of privilege and power.
