You won't choose to be gassed, you know, Zionists are thriving.

I know, right?

You know, I resented because I studied Arabic for so long and I like had finally gotten like, I don't want to say good, but mediocre at it.

And then I feel like Yiddish pushed it out of my brain.

And I'm just like, no, I want my Arabic back.

But yeah, so I studied, I learned Yiddish.

I went to, you know, all the countries that I could, that the Bund was active in.

I wasn't able to go to Belarus or Russia, but I went to like Poland and

these stubborn people who constructed whole worlds out of love and grit, even when society wanted to crush them.

I just like fell in love and

I wanted to resurrect them because the Bund were amazing, because they fought back against every single bastard of their age.

They fought for an ethos that was rooted in human dignity and human flourishing and freedom, but also in economic justice and leftism.

I just fell in love and I wanted them to live again.

And one of the things that the powers that be do is that they try to impose themselves onto the past.

They try to say, because we won now, it was inevitable that we would win.

It was always going to be like this.

There is no alternative, as Margaret Thatcher said.

Yeah, there's nothing inevitable.

Exactly.

So you do not have to suffer through the world's dullest socialist prose stylings.
