I was a big fan of Sarah Silverman before she dropped a huge rant about how genocide is okay because the kids would otherwise grow up to be terrorrirsts and then locked comments for a year on IG. I got my post deleted off her subreddit back then when I posted screenshots for not being relevant to her. Kinda bothered me that she said all that shit seriously and then just covered it up.

Her being friends with Jay Johnston makes sense.

I had already stopped watching h3 years ago but what hes become in the last few years has made me feel a lot better about that decision.

It’s 2025, and mfs are still making land claims based off religion and bs from thousands of years ago. Feel like I’m living in crusader kings.

    Just off the top of my head:

    Steven Wilson, one of the most influential artists in my creative life. Turns out even some of the songs were even recorded there. I don’t even think he has a familial claim to benefit from Zionism, I think he’s just gotten roped in. At least I tell myself that.

    Sacha Baron Cohen, IMO one of the most brilliant comedians. I don’t think he’s necessarily an extremist to the extent that Natenyahu is, knowing his politics, but that is the logical conclusion of Zionism and just being on that path is all the red flags in the world.

    Quentin Tarantino, bro why

    I actually can’t think of many. I’m from Lebanon and if it’s even a small part of someone’s public life we just avoid them, it’s been that way for very long. So there’s an extent to which these people are filtered out.

    I also don’t use traditional social media at all so something like the Sarah Silverman meltdown you mention would be completely off my radar.

      Oh wow Steven Wilson is a fucking zionist? Holy shit that is actually surprising. I enjoy his work a lot. I’m not the kind to have anything for popular figures, but his stuff has really helped me through some of my low times. It’s disappointing. Thanks for letting me know.
