Fair enough @RES, so easy to misunderstood when things are written down & you're not speaking face to face. Over years & years of me doing that, from the age of letters in the post, to memo's at work, to text messages, to email, to social media, I've gradually learned to be more aware how easily I can do that. But I still often have a knee-jerk response & only later realise there's maybeba different way of seeing something.
As you may have seen from my posts, I do have some very strong opinions about some things, as I'm sure you do - and rightly so.
But please know that my bluntness - or even polemics & mockery on occasion, are always directed at harmful ideas or abuses of power & trust, never at people as individuals.
There's so much that could & probably needs to be discussed regarding peoples, ideologies & politics, etc... Yet people are so isolated and over-busy because of money & distracted with "entertainment", etc. Pubs in the UK have been disappearing for decades, gradually replaced by TV, social media / gaming culture, etc..
That's a big reason I'm pleased with Treechat, where we can simply share without algorithms getting in the way & deciding who can talk to who, and about what.
Anyway be blessed & I'm sure we'll come across each other quite a bit in this still quite small community here 🌳
And seriously, I wouldn't mind even something like using a Menorah instead of a Star of David, say, if it was helpful in making a distinction between the Jewish people and the 'deep state' or whatever which all nations are infiltrated by (I'm hearing a lot about 'City of London' these days...).
But that's one Big conversation....
(And I'm not Jewish, btw... 🇬🇧)

I've heard London is taken over by Muslims not Jews ( but people will blame the Jews if they get wet in the rain or if a bus is late it's always because of Israel) I don't know if you remember what happened to Charlie hedbo for making a caricature of Mohammed ( they had been doing it to Jesus and Budda for so long but as soon as they did it to Mohammed they were attacked ( no one ever talks about it anymore because mainstream media has a new pet hate,( deep state huh? Owned by Israel huh? People don't think much anymore

But look, I have absolutely nothing against the Jews... As already said, I detest those who appropriate powerful and ancient symbols and use them as a shield to carry out military, political campaigns, etc. I find it scandalous, for example, that I now do not have the emoticon/symbol of the swastika, only because a group of exalted psychopaths in the 20th century used that symbol to commit atrocities... Because I love the swastika... In the same way, I love the 6-pointed star esoterically and today Israel is now as if it were monopolizing that symbol a bit... The terrorist islamic movements... They appropriated the term ISIS so that today when people hear that word they think of these degenerates, rather than of the Majestic Female DEITY that Isis is... The Anarchists do the same with the "A" and the concept of Freedom... I somewhat repudiate all these congregations that in my opinion defile powerful significant symbols, associating them with low dirty actions and meanings.... In any case, I found your words in general very interesting ...
