I feel you, racist servers usually treat me like shit because they assume I won't tip.
Trickle down linguistics. That phrase was a staple of AAVE and white people stole it and made it cringe. A tale as old as time
One could argue that some of the dynastic Chasidic sects do kinda have someone telling them what to think in the form of their Rebbes.
Not all of them, and there's a lot of different subtypes of Orthodox. My comment is overly simplified but basically not even all types of Orthodox Jews can have a legal Israeli marriage, it's at the discretion of the rabbinical court.
I also actually didn't know this until now, but looks like other marriages are recognized as long as it's an approved religion, of which Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, & Renewal Jews are not.
Israel recognizes only marriages under the faiths of Jewish, Muslim, and Druze communities, and ten specified denominations of Christianity.

They can all emigrate to Israel, but are not recognized as religiously Jewish. Most Jews in the US are Reform, the second largest group are various types of Orthodox. The chunk of US Jews that are unaffiliated are even larger than the US Orthodox population.
This leads to an odd situation where a huge chunk of Jews that emigrate to Israel are not actually considered religiously Jewish for the purposes of burial or marriage.
There are sects of Orthodox Jews in Israel (mostly Haredi, which is itself also a large umbrella with many subtypes) that are anti-zionist on religious grounds.
Furthermore if you're not the right kind of Jew in Israel (Orthodox) you can't get married. Tons of people fly to Cyprus and then get married
I lean towards integration although I recognize the South African integration has largely failed, and it should be approached in a different way (how, I am unsure).
I don't really believe white leftists when they promote expulsion, tbh. I highly doubt white leftists are gonna get up and leave America if indigenous people demand it, and it comes across to me as performative self flagellation.
By decolonize do you mean sending white people back to Europe en masse or do you mean reeducation of white people?
The latter is necessary, the former is a meme imo.
Agree in theory, but it would be practically impossible. Which I guess is the point I'm trying to make with most Israelis, barring the recent settler movement. This sentiment is just a meme and not something we can practically do irl.
I've thought about this idea for a while now, but with a different context. I'm American, but my ancestors were forcibly brought here as slaves.
America should belong to the indigenous people that have been here and have had this land stolen from them by Europeans. But I didn't choose to be here, and neither did my ancestors. Where will I go? Just randomly show up in Nigeria, where I'm "from" but have zero actual connection to?
Are you American?
