What are you even talking about why would they blame the jews
Hmmm. I feel like I’ve heard this before. >

No we don’t need anymore immigrants claiming our taxes. >

You mean growing the tax base? Working, getting taxed for said work, helping you pay for your roads and such…
Be less reactionary. >

Can your housing support said newcomers? >

If they have enough money they could pay for new builds. >

As a US citizen, we could say the same. But I'm gonna jump out on a ledge and guess that, cost of living to wage is marginally offset atm >

It’s a modern day Fiddler on the Roof. >

Wasn't that in Ukraine? >

It was in the Czarist Russian Empire which included Ukraine at the time.  It also wasn’t the only time Russia was shit to the Jewish people. My husband’s family has been leaving in stages since the 19th century up through this past year. >

Hell, one MILLION Jews left the Soviet bloc the instant it collapsed. Most of them went to israel, the rest seemed to have moved to suburban Brooklyn where they live in the ugliest houses on the planet >

Idk if I’d call anywhere in Brooklyn the suburbs but yeah, big community here. >

I live in Manhattan so anywhere you can reasonably get around by car is the suburbs. One of the Russian families had a hummer, why on earth do you need that?  Didn’t even fit in the garage. >

I’m in Brooklyn, and more than a little familiar with the communities you are talking about. I get how it could seem a bit suburban to a Manhattanite, but the real suburbs you can’t meaningfully walk to anywhere and people have proper yards. >

Yeah my grandparents are from Texas, there’s like an eight lane highway right by their house and the closest store is 1 mile away >

Everyone should leave Russia … while they can. >

Should come to Israel, god knows we need some more secular people to balance the religious mad men in charge >

Bro, it’s ISRAEL. It’s a land tied directly to religion. It’s basically in the soil. >

Sure, but it's also steeped in history, and modern Zionism resulting in the establishment of Israel was headed up by secular leaders. >

“We’re seeing rising antisemitism while Russia is going back to a new kind of Soviet Union, and step by step the iron curtain is coming down again. This is why I believe the best option for Russian Jews is to leave,” Pinchas Goldschmidt, former chief Rabbi of Moscow >

Russias transition to a full nazi state is almost complete... >

They already came for LGBT. First group to be targeted, just like the last time. No points for guessing who is next. >

Same thing is happening in the US with the trump crowd. They are right in line with Putin. >

I'm glad y'all see it; the fact that the Nazis started with LGBTQ folk before going for their "real" target isn't as well known as it ought to be.
And, in any of these cases (30's to 40's Germany, modern USA and Russia), the backdrop of rising, virulent, and violent antisemitism is another common denominator. >

I remember even when I was young people still said letting gay people marry would lead to other, actually morally objectionable changes to the law. 
But it's so weird, because the slippery slope is much steeper when it comes to making them illegal >

Be suspicious of anyone claiming that love is a crime, they likely know nothing of the subject. >

I mean pedophilia and bestiality exist, but otherwise, yeah >

Neither of those are loving things. Both are rape. >

That gets to the heart of the issue nicely:  to be love it has to go both ways and from a place of equal footing >

Yeah let’s go ahead and gtfo of Russia before things get 1930 in there >

The pogroms were in the late 1800s. Yko, like fiddler? >

And post Russo-japanese war 1906, and post WW1 1918, and during and post revolution 1919-21, and pre WW2 1930s, and the Stalin purges 1950s. Know what any time is good time to get out of Russia. >

My Jewish great grandmother was shot in the leg, in her crib, during the revolution. We’re not entirely sure when she came to america, but she was still a child. You could always sense her sadness and she would cry at photos of herself as a teen in America. The antisemitism didn’t end when she landed in Boston. My bubbe was depressed until the day she died. It’s miraculous that any Ashkenazi Jews survived. Shout out to bubbe and zeyde for surviving! >

Maybe they will not build and put them in concentration camps, but will rob them and conscript them as much as possible >

Get out of Russia. That’s true for Jews; and any sane person who doesn’t want to suffer under the Moscow Mafia anymore. >


Moscow Mafia

Hope you don’t mind me stealing that phrase >

Yeah. Russia will lose this war, and when they do they’ll blame the Jews. They say history doesnt repeat itself, but it rhymes. Russia is about to rhyme “pogrom” with “pogrom”
