“I guess I have trouble picturing this specific horribleness leading to precisely the same horribleness of other times.”
I agree. I think many agree too, in a sense, but are just not thinking it through.
I consistently think this through and come to the conclusion that we are heading into unnerving uncertainty, which isn’t a thing that makes sense to fear the same way you’d fear, say, Putin actually doing a Holocaust Revival.
It seems like many people, especially those who are very into the news and into being Jews just feel that original feeling of “omg this has parallels to holocaust,” and the thinking ends.
Idk, it seems healthy to be pretty into the news and pretty into being Jewish, as opposed to holding those things so close to my chest that I get stuck on "the news is negative about jews, help!" But at the same time that it feels healthy, it seems socially abnormal.
Thanks for sharing this with us and good to know that you're holding up.
While we live in a time and world where it's easy to spread bad ideas and making unholy alliances, it's also easy to share good vibes and empathy and support. Maybe that what help us getting through.
