@csgraves I might be able to trust that this were a true expansion of/upgrade in understanding of Jewish identity on the part of the state of California if I hadn't spent a bunch of time watching a statistically significant number of members of the non-Jewish world take and twist whatever they needed to from Jewish experience/belief/culture to further the lie that Jews are destroying what they hold most dear so they can gain or maintain power, only to then complain in performative outrage when we notice and call it out. At this point, I'm pretty sure this will, in the best case, not be good for the Jews. For those looking on from the sidelines, this isn't really that difficult. Jews are a "joinable tribal group with a shared history, homeland, and culture, part of which is religious. And there's a word for this in Hebrew. It's "Am", (pronounced Aam), as in "Am Yisrael".

I suppose it depends on the purpose of the posts. If it's to attempt to force the fediverse to not look away from its antisemitism problem, go for it with a vengeance while realizing that the fediverse will never learn because the big players along with those who are OK with the status quo and who have been strategically silent for the last three years about this stuff don't want to learn. Nonetheless they should not be allowed to forget. If you find it therapudic, then also, go for it. But if it's a burden and it's causing your mental health to suffer, then fuck 'em. The fediverse is not entitled to anything approaching your grace/goodwill/patience or any of that sort of thing.
