      Yeah I did a thread a while back on Israeli Sesame Street's surprisingly dark joke about Moishe Oofnik and Yom Kippur -- the resident Grouch goes around *refusing* to ask or offer forgiveness to everyone he knows But it's kind of deeper than it seems https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1357725076150362114?s=20 … https://twitter.com/erinbiba/status/1362218638615453699 …

      Like Forgiveness is not some kind of magical automatic default reaction you have to being wronged The idea of Yom Kippur is seeking and offering forgiveness is an *effortful act* that you do *in order to stay in community with each other*

      "Because we care about keeping the community together, we will make the effort to get past this issue between us and move forward, whatever it actually takes to do so" Because -- when Jewish people were an oppressed outnumbered minority -- they had to, to survive

      Moishe Oofnik, being a Grouch, does not want to be in community with anyone The world can fuck off Which means he doesn't want your forgiveness and he doesn't seek it from you You are free to come after him as hard as you want for his actual crimes and he against you

      That's not, like, a *good* thing But it's not, in and of itself, sin A good Jew wouldn't choose to live that way -- if everyone did that Judaism would vanish -- but as not a Jew, but a man (well, a Grouch) fine It's his right to make that choice You can respect that

      I like that better than Christianity, honestly Jesus said some nice-sounding shit about how "the community" means EVERYONE in the ENTIRE WORLD, that you should treat any random stranger as your brother or sister Christians took that lofty sentiment and tried to systematize it

          "You HAVE TO forgive people AS SOON AS they harm you, BEFORE they even ask it of you, REGARDLESS of whether they do anything to earn it, and EVEN IF they do not reciprocally forgive you" Well that's super hardcore It sounds very admirable indeed It's fucking stupid though

          Nobody actually fucking does that Christians most of all It makes every Christian in the world an obnoxious hypocrite as soon as they say it If they actually did that they wouldn't fucking be alive

          And in practice, culturally dominant Christians in positions of power are vindictive and petty as fuck, unapologetically so, as much as anyone else in any position of power if not moreso The hypocrisy flows from their lips effortlessly even as they tirelessly pursue their debts

          (Best thing ever was Jena Malone in Saved! screaming "I am FILLED with Christ's love!" while violently shoving another girl down into the sidewalk Extremely accurate observation of Christian high school life)

          And, as tiresomely repeatedly observed, Christians only seem to really bring up the idea of unconditional forgiveness and *push* it so that you have actually *do* it when it's them needing forgiveness Or someone else who reminds them of themselves

          David Brooks, who as far as I know does not generally support universal debt jubilee, prison abolition, squatters' rights, etc. and whom I'm pretty sure does keep track of various petty journo grudges, going off on how Christianity teaches that morality is an "inverse process"

          That Christianity "keeps no record of wrongs" and that in fact someone who's done a bad thing and overcome it is a *better person* in a Christian framework than someone who didn't initially sin All because some douchebag lost his Harvard admission for making racist posts on FB
