Does this site have some sort of new users queue? I made a post yesterday, and I don't see it when I sort by new.

The value of writing isn't measured by the number of words. It's measured by how much you can get your reader to understand.

The point is that TRN is not analogous to Trump because Trump kinda represents the Republican party and TRN represents, like 500 people.
A more accurate analogy to what TRN is would be to take some random bozo on Stormfront and say "Look at this guy! He's not denouncing Right wing terrorism. This means that the Right is pro-terrorism"

I think it has to do with the fact that for a long time Christians were not allowed to do money lending, and Jews didn't have to rely on Christians' good will in order to get into that business.

And when I see people being anti-Zionist, it's usually the left wing, and it usually has to do with problems in the Gaza strip.

I define "zionist" as people with a real or imagined Jewish identity or loyalty, conspiring to promote their ideological and financial interests at the expense of others. This is done through finacialization, campaign finance and lobbying, and manufacturing consent through media.
Well then you define "Zionist" wrong. A Zionist is someone who is in favor of a Jewish state in Israel.

Because TRN is a nobody, and Trump was the president of the United States.
Seems like a pretty big difference to me.

I'm sure I can find a twitter account with around 500 followers who has not disavowed white supremacy if I tried.
Would that be proof enough for you?
If now then why do we care so much about TRN? What's the difference?

Hundreds of millions of people know about this shooting. If one in ten thousand of them of them posts online in favor of the shooter, then you have ten thousand online posts in favor of the shooter to cherry pick from.

Similarly, morbid obesity is undignified, and the morbidly obese are close to being a protected class (being as it is a physical disability). Thus, having them on a show is undignified and opens up the writers to criticism. Thus: total absence.
It's been more than a decade since my primary way of entertaining myself was watching TV shows, but when it was, I got the sense that there's obesity all over the TV. Is obesity really not depicted in shows nowadays?

For that matter the idea that Gender is not a direct synonym for sex is contested at best. If you just look at the way people debate the gender issue, you can confirm that this is the case.

Your satire needs work.
This post is not really that funny, and it's not really fooling anyone either.

Because there is a high correlation between people's political affiliation and their families political affiliation.

They probably didn't and maybe still don't know(at the time of this writing) his party affiliation.
They knew the affiliation of his Grandfather because he is a literal politician.

Firefox apparently doesn't like anti-semetic, and I used auto-correct without double-checking.
More information is out on Paul Pelosi's assailant.
Apparently he has a blog(there's a link to it in the article), and most of the blog appears heavily antisemitic and conspiratorial.
I had a quick skim through it, and I'm a bit suspicious of it. He has multiple posts per day going back at least 2 months. Every thumbnail was AI-generated, and the headlines and bi-lines of his posts had a bit of an AI-vibe to them, although I'll admit my opinion on that might be affected by the AI thumbnails.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.

In The announcement that we would migrate from reddit, ZorbaTHut said:
Alright, so the admins are paying attention to us now. Not going into details, they aren't relevant and I don't want to draw their attention more; ask me again once this is done and I'll vent.
Did he ever share the details of what forced us off of reddit? If so, where can I find it?
I fixed "Iceburg" and I found 2 bad "it's".
If you want to let me know of anything else, feel free.
