Minion Death Cult - Death Chat 500 3/9/2024 Zionist Guide to Defending Genocide Aired: 2024-03-10 Duration: 05:12 === How to Defend the Jewish Nation (03:40) === [00:00:00] Okay, I'm not going to read that. [00:00:01] Today I want to talk a little bit about how to defend the Jewish nation in your social media circles. [00:00:05] This is important information that everybody needs to know. [00:00:07] We've only got 15 minutes left, so I want to get through most of it here. [00:00:12] All of us are inundated daily with a relentless barrage of slander against the Jewish nation. [00:00:17] Some of it from friends, some of it from acquaintances or colleagues or powerful people within our social or professional networks. [00:00:23] Or our children who won't talk to us anymore, or our wives who divorce us. [00:00:27] Why do all these assholes hate me? [00:00:29] What's happening? [00:00:31] I ultimately understand the fear involved in speaking up, and I understand the sense of futility. [00:00:36] I also understand the risks on every level. [00:00:39] I understand exactly how hard it can be to stand and allow yourself to be counted. [00:00:44] How many Like, Israel supporters have been fired from their jobs for supporting Israel in America? [00:00:50] I don't think it's happened yet, unfortunately. [00:00:52] I don't think it's happened either. [00:00:55] Sure, there's been actual hate crimes that have been committed against Jewish people, or actual anti-Zionist taggings and stuff like that. [00:01:03] But being afraid to speak up or whatever doesn't seem to cost anybody their job if you're pro-Israeli. [00:01:09] It definitely costs pro-Palestinian folks their jobs. [00:01:14] And yet I've been doing it regularly for over 10 years now. [00:01:17] Wow, it's so brave of you, a podcaster, to talk. [00:01:21] I've always thought about that, about how brave this is. [00:01:24] And you haven't had repercussions besides comments. [00:01:27] So what are you talking about? [00:01:30] And while it's often very uncomfortable, a lot of good has come of it. [00:01:32] I have shown up as my authentic self, which is, and I don't want anybody to harass this woman or whatever, many of whom I think of as real life friends. [00:01:41] I've gotten messages from Jews all over the globe expressing appreciation for things I've written, and I've gotten messages from non-Jews telling me I changed their mind, just the evangelicals in our inbox, like DMing every Jew that comes across their feed. [00:01:53] Wow, I am a strong ally of yours. [00:01:56] You've shown me the way and just adding them to another email list. [00:02:00] And she knows they're not Jewish because they really make sure that it's very clear in the message that they are not Jewish. [00:02:07] In this post, I want to share the top six tips I've learned about how to be effective, how to stay sane, and how to represent our community in a way that doesn't inspire either more enmity or regret. [00:02:16] I hope some of them will be helpful to you. [00:02:19] Make rational choices about where and when to engage. [00:02:24] Do not engage with trolls. [00:02:25] Engage only with people of basic goodwill. [00:02:27] Weigh the energy-to-benefit ratio of investing your time in an exchange. [00:02:30] Good idea. [00:02:32] Smart. [00:02:33] Yesterday was an occasion where I decided to wade into the fray. [00:02:35] An author I wildly respect and adore, a man with a following of more than 12,000 on Facebook, many of them thoughtful, literary types, posted a call for a ceasefire at any cost. [00:02:47] At any cost? [00:02:47] What does that mean? [00:02:48] Yeah, what does that mean? [00:02:49] What are you saying? [00:02:51] Immediately his comment section filled with the usual content. [00:02:54] Quote, thank you for standing against genocide, etc. [00:02:57] The usual content of people accusing my state of being murderous. [00:03:04] I'm so happy that these people do get this much shit, you know what I mean? [00:03:12] It's the only retribution and satisfaction that we can hope to achieve in the short term, to be quite honest. [00:03:21] This was a situation in which I felt it was worthwhile to represent our side. === Trolls Make Themselves Look Worse (01:47) === [00:03:25] I left a comment of my own. [00:03:26] Half a dozen people immediately and predictably piled on. [00:03:30] The trolls have predictably piled on to my no-innocent-civilians-in-Gaza stance yet again. [00:03:36] Also, you went there. [00:03:40] I know that's stupid, but you went to that comment section. [00:03:44] You wait, you... Yeah. [00:03:46] You're the troll here, don't you understand? [00:03:48] That's how that works. [00:03:49] Well, she's gonna explain why she did it the right way. [00:03:55] The tips that follow were what guided me as I sparred with Israel haters. [00:04:00] Two, be fastidiously civil and calm. [00:04:03] NEVER! [00:04:04] Sink to their level of abuse, name-calling, or hysteria. [00:04:06] Never resort to personal attacks. [00:04:12] And the more vitriolic they get, the better, in a way. [00:04:14] They will make themselves look worse and worse while you look better and better to anyone watching and listening. [00:04:19] And there are always people watching and listening. [00:04:21] Here is an actual exchange from yesterday. [00:04:23] Troll. [00:04:24] Fuck off and die. [00:04:25] Me. [00:04:26] So persuasive, I bow to your eloquence. [00:04:30] Got him! [00:04:30] Got his ass, fucked him up! [00:04:35] Troll. [00:04:36] You're a stupid piece of shit who is actually endangering the lives of millions of innocents. [00:04:42] Oh wow, I'm sure resorting to ad hominem attacks will win you this war. [00:04:46] Yep. [00:04:47] Yep. [00:04:49] Uh, no. [00:04:49] The actual one is, uh, him. [00:04:52] Okay, another troll in response to a paragraph-long set of facts I just presented. [00:04:57] Him. [00:04:58] Bullshit! [00:04:59] Me. [00:05:00] Oh, well that settles it. [00:05:01] I guess I'll pack up and concede defeat. [00:05:07] I love having, like, writing a whole blog post teaching someone how to be fucking annoying.
