@jonesmurphy @YKantRachelRead @QasimRashid Really funny that you just skipped over all the antisemitic propaganda and segregation laws Nazi Germany had been enacting against Jewish people before 1941. Your history sucks and you're a weird antisemite.
" Jewish stores, especially in rural areas, were often boycotted or vandalized.[63] As a result of local and popular pressure, many small towns became entirely free of Jews and as many as a third of Jewish businesses may have been forced to close.[64] Anti-Jewish violence was even worse in areas annexed by Nazi Germany.[65] On 9–10 November 1938, the Nazis organized Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), a nationwide pogrom. Over 7,500 Jewish shops (out of 9,000) were looted, more than 1,000 synagogues were damaged or destroyed,[66] at least 90 Jews were murdered,[67] and as many as 30,000 Jewish men were arrested,[68][69] although many were released within weeks.[70] German Jews were levied a special tax that raised more than 1 billion Reichsmarks (RM).[71][f]
The Nazi government wanted to force all Jews to leave Germany.[74] Out of the 560,000 Jews in the country, 130,000 were able to emigrate between 1933 and 1937, most of them towards South Africa, Mandatory Palestine, and South America. Some went back to Eastern Europe. Another 120,000 left Germany in 1938 and 1939. Almost no country lowered the restrictions to immigrate, so obtaining the necessary documents was difficult. By the end of 1939, most Jews who could emigrate had already done so; those who remained behind were disproportionately elderly, poor, or female.[75] Until 1939 100,000 were in USA; 50,000 each in Palestine, UK, Argentina; 30,000 each in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, South Africa, and Shanghai.[1][76] Germany collected emigration taxes of nearly 1 billion RM,[f] mostly from Jews.[77] The policy of forced emigration continued into 1940.[78]
Besides Germany, a significant number of other European countries abandoned democracy for some kind of authoritarian or fascist rule.[35] Many countries, including Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia, passed antisemitic legislation in the 1930s and 1940s.[79] In October 1938, Germany deported many Polish Jews in response to a Polish law that enabled the revocation of citizenship for Polish Jews living abroad.[80][81] " -
@jonesmurphy @QasimRashid well yes, of course. every single group has members working against their own interests. the drivers of violence against women are still overwhelmingly men, and it's not even close. even with those women enabling it, the ones doing the violence are still men
im also curious where that 40 million figure is from, i'm having trouble finding any information other than percentages of women voters, nothing about totals (and so continues the death of internet search
)@imbl @QasimRashid your willful ignorance is staggering. Trump got 77 million votes. Lots of reliable exit polls tell us what the percentages were that you've seen Most white women again voted for Trump. Most have never voted for anyone who is not a thuggish, sexist white man similar to Trump. White women are the biggest demographic by race & sex, 37% of the electorate. Going back generations, right-wing women consistently vote against law enforcement for violence against women.

Even before Hitler, the proto-Nazis who formed the Order of the New Templars, which were the first proto-Nazis to use the Hakenkreuz (what people mistakenly call a "swastika", no Nazi ever used that term. Swastika is a Buddhist symbol, Hakenkreuz is a hate symbol derived from the Christian cross), were overtly antisemitic. -

@jonesmurphy @QasimRashid ignorance? friend i just asked a question, i was having trouble finding information. would an ignorant person ask for help learning things?
my point still stands tho. men are the biggest driver of violence against women. yeah, some women enable that and of course fascism is bad no matter what gender the fascist is. and also men are overwhelmingly a danger to women

@QasimRashid Ok, I need to know what to with this information.
I am a male and have never hurt a woman.
Do you want me to self quarantine for the rest of my life in order to make women feel safe? -

@imbl @QasimRashid you just asked a question to an immigrant born & raised in hunger and poverty in a 3rd world country thousands of miles from the USA. You asked me to be your secretary for info you should have memorized years ago. 40 million women ain't "some women". It's "the majority of white women and a whole lot of non-black women of color". Stop minimizing what racist women are doing as they destroy our democracy and protect pedophile rapists. Shame on you.

@jonesmurphy@mastodon.social @YKantRachelRead@treehouse.systems @QasimRashid@mastodon.social
Quite a few Jews voted for Adolf Hitler.
WTF. This is a straight out Holocaust Denial talking point, and is completely false. While a tiny minority of Jews - such as those belonging to verband nationaldeutscher Juden (a group whose membership never exceeded a few thousand) - supported the NSDP early on - and was noncommittal 1932, it was clear that by 1933 with the enabling act even the staunchest Jewish assimilationists rejected the party and its goals.
I have no idea why you feel the need to try to blame women for their own oppression or Jews for theirs, but it certainly says something.

we are not asking you to hold yourself responsible for what other men do.you could talk to friends and family about it. you could support the women you know, so they know you are a man who. is aware of the problem. you could serve as a positive mentor to young men thru volunteer work, or by not being a toxic presence around women.
you do not need to resort to histrionic threats of self-flagellation in order to try to help correct this problem.
JFC.

the number one cause of death for pregnant women in the US is homicide. it's been that way for years.
truly, domestic violence is a massive problem that cuts across all sectors of US society

@jonesmurphy @QasimRashid What's your point? All women deserve it because 8% of them make poor choices?

read what I wrote, Adolf.
uhhhh did you even bother looking at my profile before you just Nazijacketed a Jewish person or
@YKantRachelRead @jonesmurphy@mastodon.social @QasimRashid I suspect he said that because, not despite, checking your bio. I saw that and thought "fuck this guy, blocked"

@YKantRachelRead wow i really didnt expect "the trans jewish woman is a nazi for feminism" quite that fast holy shit are men okay
@imbl @YKantRachelRead no, they're not.

@QasimRashid I'm glad you posted this and I'm also pissed that women have been saying this all along and no one listens to us
Most women learn the hard truth early on, that men can't be trusted not entirely. If you're not a man or perceived as a man, you're in danger. Even men in your family are not safe
Anyone reading this that replies with a variation of 'not all men' will be blocked with no reply. Instead of whining maybe go do something useful like tell your man buddies to stop harming women -
@YKantRachelRead @QasimRashid yeah, it's completely off topic. Sorry you had to deal with that fool

@QasimRashid
Another example of Qasim's pathetic engagement farming. The capitalist system, which he will never address, is inherently sexist and the hierarchy requires someone to be picked on who's considered lower on the pecking order. Women and minorities have conveniently always been in this catagory.
The USSR-Communist Russia-which everyone on mastodon vilifies with ignorant Russophobia, always considered women as equals and important. That's why the US goal has been to destroy Russia. -

Same things you do any time you learn about human horribleness:
• sit with it for a while, and take time to grieve both the victims and your own lost innocence as needed
• consult family and close friends about it, to see if/how you can improve your own behaviors
• remain aware of it, and keep it in mind when interacting with others
• leverage your own privileges to intervene if/when you see it happening in the real world -
