    Between migrant workers needing to go anywhere else (namely Florida to Martha’s Vinyard), college protersters needing to be sent to Gaza, and now homeless (its not unhoused, thats newspeak. Its Sexual Assault not SA, its Murder/Suicide not Unaliving, its homeless, not unhoused) needing to be sent anywhere else, all I can fixate on is how obsessed The Party is with making people move (you can say “Its Republicans doing that!” but its not. Its the entirety of the Federal government advancing these narratives).

    The modern strategy of the rich and the taint-lickers (government officials) is forced nomad lifestyle.

    This is NOTHING new.

    Strikes a nerve for me because I’m a quarter Gypsy (hailing from Bohemia, the region now called the Czech Republic). Gypsy is an EXTREMELY offensive term. In the Holocaust, “Jews” took the brunt, “Gypsies” took most of the rest, “Gays” and “Colored” took the rest.

    Gypsies are kind of like Jews.

    “Jews” in the largest sense, are those who were expelled from their homes and settled in a new home, all the adversity endured, as is depicted by Moses moving the Jews from Egypt to Bethlehem.

    “Gypsies” are those who were expelled from their homes, and were met with gun-barrels wherever they went, so they were kept moving. Forced nomads.

    Which makes me look at the news today. “Anti-Zionist” as in “against Israel displacing Palestinians with plans of luxury condos” is now called “Antisemitic”. But if we go to the historical root of the words, Israel is acting like Egypt, and Palestinians are being made Jews, if you remove the religion “Judaism” from the mix.

    And here in America, as the people identify as Anti-Zionist, but Palestinians are being displaced from their homes by Israel, arguably making them “Palestinian Jews” or “Palestinian Gypsies” depending on how the world treats their refugees, one of the big things the Supreme Court decided was that Homeless are Gypsies.

    Send em packing. Shoot one of em dead, and that’s cool as long as they keep moving. Over time, we will have shot all of em dead.

    Where did we end up so wrong?

    Oh ya, Citizens United.
