More than a li’l frustrating btw seeing the Jewish erasure that I’ve been seeing with Stan Lee in the wake of his death
like it’s always been a thing
but his name was originally Stanley Lieber
and as a medium comics were built by angry Jewish kids more than anyone else and in the current environment it’s important to keep reminding people of that
stop calling him an old white guy
Saw a tag on this like “well he WAS still a white guy but he was a Jewish white guy” and I need you all to understand that being ethnically Jewish and looking European descent means a person is effectively white-passing, not white.
This isn’t going to change until we don’t have even fringe antisemitism around and it’s not going to change when there’s still people in the world like my bigoted aunt being nasty towards people she THINKS are Jewish.
Stop calling Stan Lee an old white guy.
Just got a dumbass anon trying to explain to me why it doesn’t matter that people are erasing Stan Lee’s Jewishness so let me point out that the entire reason he TOOK a pen name was so that people at the time that he did so wouldn’t ignore him for having a Jewish surname

What she says: I’m fine
What she means: Why isn’t it taught that abortion was perfectly legal in the US in early 1870s and it wasn’t until a Jewish doctor, who was being framed, was put on trial for manslaughter (a trial, as well as the press covering it, which was greatly tinged with antisemitism) that opened the floodgates for antiabortion crusaders which eventually led to its criminalization?
I did not know this!
Me neither, until I read this book.
Look at the notes for the name of the book if anyone else is interested.
The book is called Bad Rabbi: And Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press. By Eddy Portnoy
Other recommended books in the notes that talk about this are:
The Moral Property of Sex by Linda Gordon
Rereading Sex by Helen Horowitz
I totally get that wacky conspiracy theories are fun to joke about – but if you’re going to joke about lizard people, you should probably be aware that “reptilians” is a code-phrase for “crypto-Jews”.
When conspiracy nuts talk about politicians and celebrities secretly being lizard people, what they’re really implying is that they’re secretly Jewish. The whole “Reptoid conspiracy” thing is just a verbal smoke-screen – a veneer of plausible deniability.
Sure, you probably didn’t mean it that way when you joked about it. You probably weren’t aware of the double meaning at all. This stuff is pretty good at flying under the radar; indeed, that’s the whole point.
But, well, now you know.
The Florida Douglas High School Shooting Was an Anti-Semitic Hate Crime And Nobody’s Talking About…
” Why is nobody talking about the fact that the Florida shooting was an anti-Semitic hate crime except
for Jews? The school was more than 40% Jewish. The shooter was a part
of a white supremacist organization, actively and openly hated Jews more
than anyone else, would beat up Jewish kids, etc. The head of the white
supremacist organization made a public statement that the organization
had nothing to do with the shooting but if he had to guess why Cruz did
it, it was because the school was predominantly Jewish. “We’re not a big
fan of Jews,“ Republic of Florida Militia leader Jordan Jerub stated in
an interview with The Daily Beast. “I think there were a lot of Jews at
the school that might have been messing with him.”It seems like only Jewish news sources are reporting on this and the
comments on the articles by non-Jews are sickening. People are saying
that “Jews want to be oppressed so badly. He shot up the school because
they expelled him, not because he hated Jews.” People are saying we’re
“appropriating struggles of people of color” by claiming that he killed
Jewish kids because he’s a white supremacist. I’m sorry, why can’t we
acknowledge that someone shot up a Jewish school because he was
anti-Semitic without it taking away from the struggles of other
minorities?When Jews say we are oppressed, people often respond
with “show me real hate crimes against Jews and then we’ll believe you
when you say you’re discriminated against,” but then someone who talks
about wanting Jews dead shoots up a school that’s mostly Jewish and
people still refuse to acknowledge that it’s a real hate crime.The Jewish community is not a large one. I know people who knew some of
those kids, who went to Jewish summer camp with them, whose parents were
family friends etc. Fuck anti-Semites and fuck people who shoot
children and fuck people who refuse to acknowledge that people are
targeted, assaulted, and even killed for being Jewish on a regular
basis. According to the FBI, 1.7% of Americans are Jewish, but last year
54.2% of religiously motivated hate crimes were against Jews and 11.5%
of overall hate crimes were against Jews.If your intersectionality doesn’t include Jews, you’re doing social justice wrong.”
Stop colonizing someone else’s land and maybe then people will support your struggle.
Are you fucking seriously equating israel to all jews?
Are you, as a Jew, doing anything to protest the existence of Israel? Are you doing anything to support the Palestinians that are being hurt and killed? I’m not going to feel sorry for your struggles when your people are one of the biggest oppressors in the world right now. Consider it karma for all the shit your people have done.
HOLY. SHIT.
“Jewish children deserve to die violent deaths because of a country they don’t live in or have any say about.” Classy.
Children died, you fuck.

SERIOUSLY
I am going to print this out and plaster it everywhere I go
my heart just broke
Not gonna lie; I’m on the verge of tears right now.
Because this is what I see every night when I come into work. I work at a Jewish-run elder care non-profit. Even in the memory care unit, we’re seeing a rise in the residents’ anxiety levels, to the point where they’ve had to stop turning on the TV news stations (and these residents still love the news). Multiple residents are direct survivors of the Shoah; some barely escaped, and almost all of them lost family members in death camps. One resident was one of the children saved by the Kindertransport. Many other residents tell me stories of when they were kids, how their neighborhoods were destroyed and relocated and of the siblings and parents they no longer have. One newer resident was finally starting to settle in when Charlottesville happened. Even though we immediately changed the channel, she was shaken. She was inconsolable for hours. When I left for the night, she was still crying and refused to leave her room. Even now, weeks after the direct event, she still is wary to come to programs, fearing that if she is away from her room too long that her possessions and place will be stolen from her like they were in 1938. Even with dementia, even with Alzheimers, these residents remember what happened. They cannot forget their lost loved ones. They cannot forget the things stolen from them. They cannot forget, period.
Because this fight against Neo-Nazis isn’t just a theoretical thing. These groups know that people are forgetting about Shoah; they take great strength knowing that people from that generation are dying. When they regard WWII as a “dark cloud” hanging over the heads of this generation, it is not with a solemn regard, with they knowledge that we must not forget lest we repeat our mistakes. These White supremacists, these White Neo-Nazis, see Shoah remembrance as something they will gladly eradicate. When people gladly throw out the Nazi salute, chant the 14 words, or march under the banner of “hail victory,” they are two things and two things only – Nazi apologists and Nazi supporters.
Shoah survivors are not gone. They are still here. We need to stop ignoring that this normalization of Nazis marching in the street harms real people. It’s not just ideas. It’s not just “free speech”.
We cannot forget. We cannot forget. We cannot forget.
a little louder for the people of @marvelentertainment please.
best paragraph:
Secret Empire is the second worst selling event comic in Marvel’s history. Furthermore, it failed to bolster sales of its tie-in issues — series launched out of Secret Empire, such as Secret Warriors, were already hovering around the cancellation line just a couple of issues in. Marvel has spent a lot of time and money on this event, and has come out of the other side with lower sales and lower confidence from readers and retailers alike.
gosh, if only this clusterfuck would lead to some meaningful and lasting leadership changes at @marvelentertainment. i’m not gonna name names, but axel alonso and tom brevoort know who they fucking are.
My prediction: comic historians will mark Secret Empire as “the event that ultimately killed Marvel.” Their sales have been poor, the publicity has been terrible, the alt right seized upon the idea of Captain America being Hydra with glee and delight (several of the Citronellanacht assholes were wearing Hydra t-shirts), and the whole thing was a badly thought out, badly publicized mess. It’s going to take them years to recover (if they ever fully do), and Jack Kirby and Joe Simon’s ghosts will be laughing themselves sick at the stupid goyim who thought it would be a great idea to take the anti-fascist creation of a couple of Jewish immigrants’ kids and turn him into a fascist.
Take That, Anti-Semites
In 1916, in the middle of World War I, the German military conducted the Judenzählun: a census of German Jews. It was intended to confirm accusations of lack of patriotism among German Jews. But the census not only disproved the anti-Semitic rumors, it crushed them. Not only were German Jews enlisting in the army, a higher percentage of German Jews fought than of any other ethnic, religious or political group in Germany.
The results of the census were not made public at the time.
