I despise graffiti. It always makes me think someone who should be home cleaning their room or helping their mom, slept all day and is out in the night making a mess on the walls of our town.
Like every Jew in the world is somehow connected. If that's true then every Christian is also responsible for any act of any other Christian (or Muslims and Muslims). So with the exact same logic ALL Muslims would be responsible for the rape and killings of the hostages? I think not. Like I (as a Jew) have any direct effect on Israeli foreign or domestic policy, even though I've never (not even once) voted in any form of Israeli election (I'm not eligible and also never lived there)? So with the exact same logic any 2nd generation Russian immigrant is directly responsible for Putin's war in Ukraine? Seems specious. Like I don't also think Netanyahu is an ass, but, of course, that doesn't count since thousands of Jews who actually do live in Israel and do vote in Israeli elections and might, possibly for real affect Israeli domestic and foreign policy are nightly holding protests against him. Sure, but who cares about that? Like y'all aren't even saying boo about the slaughter in Sudan (there's maybe 100 stories about Gaza to every one I read about Sudan, despite that conflict having more fatalities and injuries than Gaza and Ukraine COMBINED? Honestly, I don't know why that is, no British connection? Seems relevant though. Go fuck yourself and your racism.
Not you John, the general "you." Thank you, John, for being an ally because honestly Canada is sinking into that cesspool of anti-semitism again that's haunted it for a long long while now. As if that ever solved any of Canada's own problems, notably with the Indigenous people and how Canadians treated them, despite being able to vote and plausibly influence Canadian domestic and foreign policies. Isn't there some old saw about pointing my finger at you and there's three fingers pointing back at me? Anyway, I'm sure it's just some dumb kid not thinking the entire thing through but he had to pick it up from somewhere.
When I was a kid and invariably got caught doing some dumb shit, I would eventually get home to my father, and after a while, he would say pretty quietly, "Why do you do these things?" And I would eventually look him right in the eye and tell him the absolute truth to the very best of my understanding, "I don't know."
Maybe this is worse. Maybe this kid thinks he knows, like really for real knows, why he did this. But I don't believe he does.
We're getting better all the time. And I believe with all my heart that the kids are all right. But it is still true, though less now than before, boys and young men are closer to animals than any other humans, and the havoc they wreck on the world if not given a mission and kept sternly in check accounts for very close to all the very most terrible things humans have done to each other in history.
Once again you write an article that simply describes happenings in our city and world wide which gives me a better understanding of fascism .
I will forever look at graffiti as either beauty to the eye or a half can of air and hate.
Thank you
