My producers dragged me to see 'Barbie' and it was one of the most woke movies have ever seen. My ful review of this flaming garbage heap of a film will be out on my YouTube channel tomorrow at 10am ET.

I normally post news on here but this picture is legit hilarious. Mods feel free to delete if not appropriate 😹

An asshole who primarily courts right-wingers an inch to the left of Neo-Nazis by making them feel logical and superior for denying basic facts about reality, while the mask-off Neo-Nazis repeatedly send death threats to his family because they're culturally Jewish.

I don't pity him. He dug his hole by choice, and it is a very comfy hole in upper-class Los Angeles where he won't experience the consequences of societal collapse that he encourages poorer right-wingers to spread around. Tough for his kids, I'd imagine, since they'll be growing up in a world with all those oven-fanatic redcaps crawling out of the woodwork that their dad turned a blind eye to for clout.

For what it’s worth, he’s not just culturally Jewish. He’s an actively practicing orthodox Jew. He’s wearing a yarmulka in this photo, and pretty much every photo you’ll see of him.

There’s a big difference between someone who was born Jewish because their mom is Jewish, and someone who is actively practicing. Not that it excuses the Neo-Nazis and antisemites. But he’s not just culturally Jewish.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but I thought they saud "culturally Jewish" because I know a lot of people who are Jewish by birth but hardly (or never) practice.

But that could just be my rare experience, since I live in an area with plenty of Jewish people.

Yeah, that’d be culturally Jewish. Someone who was born Jewish, but doesn’t actively practice. They’re not religiously Jewish. My point was that he’s actively practicing, so it’s not just cultural.
