Why This Socialist Feminist Is For Hillary
By Suzanna Danuta Walters

"Born to leftists themselves born to leftists, I am what is known in some circles as a “red-diaper baby.”

My immigrant Jewish grandparents met in New York City, at a meeting of the Young People’s Socialist League on the Lower East Side, and I grew up more familiar with the words to labor anthems than to those of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” My mother was an activist in the civil-rights movement who later engaged with feminism, antiwar activism, and the vast panoply of progressive issues that ebbed and flowed through our national politics over the past half-century.

In other words, I come by my democratic socialism organically and deeply.

Hillary may not be the radical, intersectional feminist that activists—myself included—fantasize about seeing in power. But she’s some kind of a feminist for sure, and her election would no doubt foreground the centrality of gender equity to social justice in ways we have not yet seen at a national level.

Anyone want to guess where she lies on Kohlberg's model of moral development?

I've come to the conclusion after years of studying Jews, their ideologies and their history, that they collectively hate life. I'm not talking about a feeling of mere annoyance. I'm talking a deep ingrained, impassioned resentment towards the goodness and beauty of life, of nature, of God. I have theories as to why, which I won't share for the time being, but there is no other conclusion when their actions reveal time and time again that destruction directed towards themselves and the world is their biological imperative.

It might look this way. But looking at the history of Jews in the U.S. for the past 50 or so years, I don't think it's accurate to say they hate life or resent beauty.

What might be more accurate is to say a sizeable and influential amount of them do have envious and/or resentful feelings about Christianity and the mainstream U.S. culture that's under the umbrella of it. I think that's what you're seeing here.

This point of view is, obviously, not representative of all Jews. But a large enough portion of them have always been vocal enough that it seems that way. (And the fact that they lean left as a voting bloc doesn't help matters.)

A lot of this stems from Holocaust-related paranoia. Jewish academics and writers see mainstream culture being repressive and worry that will lead to "another Holocaust." So they attack mainstream culture and religion.

So, for years we've gotten books and articles on how the so-called Religious Right seeks tyranny. Those were the direct attacks. The indirect attacks come from feminists who see the male-female roles of mainstream culture (and traditional masculinity) as somehow "oppressive" or toxic.

I would also venture to say that the large percentage of Jews who support gay marriage do so simply as a way to spite Christians. This goes for a host of other subjects as well, from transgenderism to women in sports to pornography.

This also accounts for why a lot of Jewish entertainment kicks out at traditional norms and gets praise for doing so: From Howard Stern to The Velvet Underground to Sarah Silverman. Critics, many of who are Jewish themselves, are quick to praise "transgressive" art forms as "barrier-breaking," so people tend to think it's more innovative.

But it's not necessarily better. It's just usually more profane. And in retrospect, a lot of it is just bad or embarrassing, like the overrated and overpraised Beastie Boys, Lou Reed, and Phillip Roth.

(By the way, one reason "Seinfeld" transcends this is because the show's creators were quick to point out the flaws of Jews alongside the flaws of everyone else. This earned them a lot of hate from the Jewish community at times -- the character of "The Rabbi" got the most hate mail. But it kept the show honest on a lot of levels.)

The sad irony of all this is that most Christians don't have feeling of resentment against Jews...until they start reading article after article like the one posted here. They they start to think "Hey, why are Jews always hating someone or something that's an integral part of our culture?"

I came to these conclusions after having grown up Catholic but having married into a Jewish family. I saw both sides.

***

As a final statement, I want to mention that all of this has been ratcheted up because several self-appointed groups of Jewish-run watchdogs have taken it upon themselves to monitor people's speech and designate it as "hate."

This includes the Anti-Defamation League (which codified the concept of "hate speech") and the Southern Poverty Law Center. When you appoint yourself The Moral Guardians That No One Asked For, you breed resentment. This happened with the Moral Majority in the 1980s and that created a lot of resentment against Fundamentalist Christians.

The difference was that the media was critical of the Moral Majority, while they swallow the Kool-Aid of the ADL and SPLC. This, in turn, has created the current social climate where virtually anything anyone says that's not "Part of the Narrative" gets them publicly shamed or fired or banned from social media.

The mistake people make is thinking the average Jew is somehow behind this or supports it. That's like blaming me for The Mafia just because I happen to be Italian. A lot of Jews are oblivious to this and some of the more conservative ones (like my ex) despise it all, especially the anti-First Amendment idea of hate speech.

So, in conclusion, it's not that Jews "hate life," but that the actions of some of the more influential of them shame things Christians believe in or -- even worse -- chip away at the First Amendment freedoms that are part and parcel of this country.
