Early in my life I knew that I was a Lesbian trapped in a man's body. Why else am I so attracted to women? That's why, today, I identify as a Black Jewish Lesbian--I AM A WOMAN! Some bigoted doctors call me a "man" because of my birth certificate and pre-transition medical records but, I don't have a penis so clearly I'm a woman! The problem is that Lesbians won't accept me as a woman even though that's clearly my gender! The ADL agrees that I'm a women and I'm oppressed! I know Donald Trump and the Republican party also agree--just look at how accepting they are of Caitlyn Jenner. If Reagan were still alive I know he'd accept me and others like me because he was always a man of the times and today I'm sure he'd be leading the Neocon charge in Progressive Reaganomics! Besides that, as a proud Jewish Black Lesbian, I know the Republican Party has my back. Trump and the Republicans throw more support to Jews and Israelis than any other group of people in the country and the world! It's amazing to identify as so many privileged groups at once. My innate superiority as a peek-specimen of humanity is evident to all. Now to teach those snooty, "Born as a woman," Lesbians some humility!

Reagan was a patriot who stood and promoted American values and he led us to victory over the one of the greatest evils present on earth.

Reagans "victory" over the USSR is mostly mythology - the USSR collapsed primarily for internal economic and ideological reasons that had little to do with Reagan and probably would have been inevitable regardless of who was in office. At best he may have sped the collapse by a few years via increased military spending and pressure (which was only an intensification of a buildup directed by the MIC that was already taking place before he entered office).

Trump and Reagan share a fundamental similarity in that their outsized personalities make for nice patriotic rallying points and narratives, which is part of the problem with American conservatism. There is little to no real material analysis done by the right which is why they routinely vote for people that are directly opposed to their interests in material terms (not that they have a choice) but are appealing in a "nationalistic" or patriotic sense. For instance the video lists Trump as "pro worker" but this is nonsense - his economic policies were firmly rooted in neo conservative thought (large tax cuts for the rich, de regulation, anti unionism etc). The idea that because he is anti China (rhetorically and tariff wise) he was pro worker is malformed, jobs were never coming back to the US they were just going to shift somewhere else where tariffs were lower, thus increasing the leverage of the capitalist class and diluting the leverage of their primary international competitors. Trump was of the capitalist class and his policies were directed for their benefit, helping the workers was just a narrative sold to the public.

The one point I give Trump as listed in the video is that I believe he genuinely did want to control immigration but he was never able to overcome the power of the liberal state. Mass immigration is far too important economically and power wise to the elite, it will take a severe struggle (political or otherwise...) before it's stopped.

American conservatives are far too propagandized to understand why people like Reagan or Trump are not working towards their overall interests, but those of their own class.

Reagan was a product of his time. But so is Trump.

Neither deserve to be worshipped though because the problems they created or refused to solve still exist with us today.

Even going after the Soviet Union in that video highlights the short sightedness of Conservatives. Was the USSR evil? Yes. But America already had all the weapons and Capital it needed to defend themselves from the Red threat. Instead, nothing was being done about the rise of China, who would go on to fuck the world over with their ridiculously cheap labor and petri dishes full of viruses.

And the irony is Conservatives had a great relation with Japan. Should have just sold them a whole bunch of tanks and missiles, and tell Japan to go finish the job. Maybe Hong Kong would have even remained a British colony today had we actually done something about China...

Anti-communist conservatives never existed, because the conservative movement in the US has Marxist foundations to begin with. We were only beating the drum against the USSR because most of the neoconservative intellectuals were Trotskyists who had been alienated by the USSR. The Trotskyists don't care about China and allowed them to become what they are. Do not blame the Chinese for matters that are entirely America's doing.

While Reagan was far from perfect, he was the last political representative of what was good about America. In contrast, Trump represents modern America. Trump is a depraved narcissistic sociopathic disgusting piece of shit who didn't do a single good thing while in office. And yes, Trump does represent the future of the American Right which fully deserves to burn in hell.

Aren't you Jewish?

[–]send_nasty_stuffNational Socialist 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

He is. Father is Jewish though, not the mother.

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Wrong, both my parents are racially jewish, neither is religiously jewish.

My bad. I could have sworn that back on reddit you said that you had a jewish father and shiksa mother.

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (39 children)

Religiously no, racially yes.

Are you Christian?

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

No, I follow the Old Testament. (Judaism follows the Talmud.)

[–]nordmannenLegionnaire 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Is there a particular branch of Judaism that is not talmudic? Do you use just the Torah or the masoretic texts? Or the Septuagint maybe?

[–]literalotherkinNorm MacDonald Nationalism 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think the Karaites -- those Jews who meet with Ahmadinejad and genuinely oppose Zionism in its current form -- are Torah Jews who don't follow the Talmud.

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

The Karaites aren't Talmudic in theory, but they are still influenced by Talmudic thinking. And they are too liberal for me.

There isn't much difference between the masoretic texts and the Septuagint. Both are the Old Testament which I follow. I would consider both to be equally valid sources, but I know some Hebrew and no Greek, so I would refer to the Hebrew.

[–]nordmannenLegionnaire 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

So you're more like a Jew of one. I don't want to sound pushy, but why don't you believe Christ is the messiah?

There is a difference between the Septuagint and the Masoretic texts, like words being different and books missing. As an Orthodox Christian I would side with the Septuagint, and the Masoretic texts came about well after the resurrection and were drafted by talmudic Jews, which is why the question matters to me.

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I was raised atheist with a scientific background. The Old Testament suits me well because it doesn't depend very much on miracles. But I have nothing at all against Christianity, and conservative Mennonites are my favorite group around today.

The weakness of the Septuagint is an extra translation, while the weakness of the Masoretic texts is Talmudic meddling. So neither is perfect. The ideal would be to look at both when considering detailed questions, but I am not a Bible scholar.

[–]nordmannenLegionnaire 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

An extra translation authorized by the Sanhedrin and conducted by seventy Jewish Alexandrian scholars of the time, specifically to adapt to the hellenization of diaspora Jews within the Roman Empire. Come to Christ, man.

What are you thoughts on ancient cataclysms? (i.e. the 'flood' blood being one of many population extinction events?)

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

For religious purposes, I don't really worry about it. I just look for the moral of the story. But I have heard a number of possible explanations like that a comet caused the flood.

Yeah I'm not really up to date on your beef with this sub, it's just funny seeing a Jew talking about who is going to hell. So, how exactly was Reagan a good representation of America? I won't argue about Trump, every nationalist should have been off that train by 2018 at the latest.

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (26 children)

Reagan was no genius but he clearly was an honest man with good intentions. He really did support the middle class. He raised the capital gains tax, a tax on the rich, while lowering taxes on the middle class. He supported deregulation which allowed small businesses to flourish. Economics was the main issue of his time since the culture war hadn't really started yet.

[–]nordmannenLegionnaire 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (25 children)

And when you weigh this with things like amnesty and FOPA do you believe he was better or worse for white America in the long run?

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (24 children)

I don't care about race, so "white America" doesn't interest me. I do care a lot about culture, so I wouldn't want too many immigrants to dilute the culture. I don't have much opinion about Reagan's amnesty because these people were already living in America, it wasn't about importing more people. I am against Reagan's gun control.

The effect of politicians is overestimated. Politicians cannot control the most important issues like culture. In my view, America failed because its Christian leadership failed, and no politician can fix this problem.

It should, even if you aren't white. The standard of living that you get here is because of the white racial core that this country still has, and as the core dwindles, the standard of living will begin to reflect the nonwhite demographics that live there. Alternatively, you could just move to Israel, they will staunchly protect you because of your lineage, regardless of your religious opinions.

Those people were already living in America but what did they do to California and their surrounding states? My point is that Reagan's policies effectively made it impossible for Republicans to win in states that he had substantially won, though that might be something we can say for Trump, give it 3 years.

What advice could you suggest for a Christian leadership that would retain our ethnic and racial majority without giving someone like you a one-way ticket to Israel? The kind of Christianity that supports Jews is also the kind that gets us into situations like today.

[–]DragonerneJesus is white 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Christianity does not support Jews.

[–]nordmannenLegionnaire 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

It does when it's been subverted by Jewish elements, which is the case for virtually all protestant sects in the US.

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

I think culture and religion are much more important than race. But there is obviously a correlation between the two. There is a high correlation between culture/religion and race. So selecting for one or the other will have similar results.

I am not religiously or culturally Jewish, so Israel isn't a great fit for me. I did look there.

The Mennonite churches that I visited were not racist at all, yet they were more White than any other group that I have seen. What explains this paradox? The answer is that their religion is optimal for typical White character traits. I could probably never be fully Mennonite because I am too stubborn which is a Jewish genetic trait. So my advice is the follow the Mennonite example of requiring this kind of behavior in your religion.

Bruh, it's church. Churches naturally segregate, especially anabaptist heretics that are their own ethnoreligious group. Also, Mennonites are split down the middle politically from my understanding, and most would probably reject "whiteness" in exchange for their insular group which is majority nonwhite as most Mennonites are asian and african. This seems anecdotal, I can take you to plenty of "nonracist" "white" philosemitic cults and have you say the same thing, but this one experience you had with Mennonites has you sold on their bullshit. Sorry, a mass conversion to an anabaptist heresy is not going to make life better for American whites, nor is it realistic or practical. You should look into orthodoxy, there are a lot of disaffected Jews who find their way there for reasons I don't entirely understand.

That's how all white societies are. That's why you want a country to be close to 100% white. It is best for everyone there.
