Actually there is an idea I’ve thought about, if we were able to convince the wealthiest Jews in the world to start backing and funding groups and orgs that align with our beliefs would you stop being antisemetic?
You can't. Jews lived as gypsies for over two thousand years so stopping the free movement of people is anathema to them, but they dislike the movement of non-Jews into Israel for the same reason nationalists/nativists/wignats dislike foreigners into their lands - it's theirs. Now, I can imagine Jews born and raised in Israel can at least empathise with the idea of limiting outsiders into your lands so they can be aboard with the whole anti-immigration stuff, but Jews outside of Israel can't because they see themselves as the perpetual other who can simultaneously be ethnic and culturally Jewish but also [insert nationality] here, and that's the best-case scenario (Shapiro-likes) where they'll be right-wing on everything except immigration because his group (the Jews) benefited from such movement. They might cite economic reasons for keeping to it but they know, principally, they can't oppose it completely or ask for the number to be reduced to 0.

If you take the most infamous contemporary Jew to the modern right-wing: George Soros; he went from Hungary, to France, England, and finally America (in-group Jewish nepotism enabled this ease of movement and jobs after his education in Paris but still) so he has only benefited from this ease of movement. If he were to support causes opposing it, he'd be seen as pulling the ladder up after him and a hypocrite. Non-American Jews who are billionaires typically have the same backstory, and they employ cognitive dissonance around the fact they largely benefited from helping members of their own race/religion because, ya know, admitting you got where you were off of anybody's effort/help but your own hard work is a blow to your company's PR/personal ego/people's analysis of your capabilities. You see this with non-Jewish billionaires too. They do feel a need to "give back" though, hence why they may throw considerable sums at NGOs and charities that make the world just a little bit worse every year.

I think @Catch The Rainbow is correct in that the loudest antisemites push their hatred to the point of fantasy, where I think the reasons to hate them are actually rather mundane and shared across every other foreign/minority group who specifically looks out for "their own". The more I've looked into them — the meme of "Racists researching other cultures so they can be more racist" — the more mundane I've come to view them. At a certain point, you push Jews into collectively being omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, and end up attributing any "good" that happens to your side as being the result of Jews slacking the rope a little, or some sort of trick to lull us into a false sense of security. In doing so you effectively make yourself perpetually blackpilled and make it impossible to have any hope for the future because "it's just a Jewish trick".

This is interesting to me for 2 reasons:
1. Onlyfans almost shut down due to pressure from payment processors due to "'prostitution", I'm not familiar with what qualifies but another example of payment processors coming after your gaming/gooning time.
2. State supremacy used to be a thing, kinda wild how we threw that away for so many issues.

If the flight from Texas is only a delay tactic for the Dems, why do it? It makes the Democratic congressmen look bad, and it doesn’t really solve their crisis.

They are morons and constantly looking for cheap wins for their own base, not to actually solve the issue. They want something to look nice on tweets and provide a quick "yas queen slay!" moment, and don't really care it won't work.

Maybe they want the people to rise up and do crimes over it. I dunno. It ended in a whimper last time this happened I expect the same here.

Holy shit I'm actually sick to my stomach, somebody needs to kill the parents too! /sneed
(jim had to turn off replies, I'm guessing he will delete this due to the reaction it is getting.)
 
they really have to do something about this
if they let these dems fuck them over, people will start asking "if this tactic works to block legislation, why aren't you doing the same whenever the dems are in power?"
Republicans have done this in blue states. The Oregon Republicans have done it numerous times and the Democrats passed a law banning representatives from running for reelection if they miss 10 or more days that the legislature is in session.
