Berkeley public schools hit with complaint alleging 'severe and persistent' antisemitic bullying

[Sympthsical]

8. It's the Bay Area

People wonder why I have such a strong reaction to the simplistic binary of oppressor/oppressed.

Then I tell them my in-laws are AAPI, including 9 nieces and nephews, and I watch how they are talked to and about in these spaces. They come home with their stories about what was said at school and college - by both students and faculty.

And then people don't ask me anymore why I have such a dim view of half-baked Marxism. Tell someone you have an Asian partner, friends, family, and they can just infer the galloping racism from the O/Opies. That Jews have been slotted in shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone at all.

The ideology requires it. An oppressed requires an oppressor, and the oppressor is anyone who is not the oppressed.

And once you slap the oppressor sticker on a group of people, you can be as shitty as you want to towards them consequence-free.

That is what is taught, and that is what we see.
