Have you ever considered how fucking astonishing babies crying is?

The young of other animals don’t make noise, or if they do, barely any at all. Baby birds only start chirping when their parents come back with the food, kittens meow to their mothers because cat communication is extremely subtle and drawing your caretaker’s attention may require a sound when you have eight siblings. At this point, they can already see and walk.

 But human babies? Crying is essentially the first willful action that they learn. Months before being able to move on your own, or even hold your own fucking head up, or being able to choose when and where you defecate. Before anything else, a skill more valuable than anything else, is a distress call.

 A distress call specifically intended to be impossible to ignore.

 Before object permanence or theory of mind, without even an understanding of what help they need, who could provide it, and whether they choose to do so, a human being is capable of expressing that there is something wrong in the state they are in, that they are powerless to correct on their own.

 This is what was evolutionarily selected above silent babies that did not attract predators. This is what was selected instead of young who could instantly walk. This is what was selected as the ideal offspring for the human race. Not one that runs. Not one that hides. Not one that can fend for itself. A creature that can communicate, if only the simplest, most inherent message: I need help.

I was curious if this person was a real doctor or just played one on the internet so I did a Google.

To the surprise of no one ever, Dr. Loupis is a right-wing extremist whose entire MO is to lie on twitter to make other people despise the same folks she does. (Sadly, she is a real doctor in Copenhagen.)

Searching her name reveals that prior to the war begun by Hamas on October 7, Loupis was busy being a vile transphobe and being the kind of anti-vaxxer who references The Epoch Times unironically.

Mother Jones had an article back on 25 October, 2023, which included Loupis alongside various extremists (like Hinkle and the other Tate) who support Palestine as a way of differentiating themselves from more "mainstream" right-wingers. Because this is all just vice signalling and games to them, not a real conflict that harms real people.

I note that this article quotes a JVP communications director, who refers to Loupis and her ilk as "white nationalists with a racist agenda trying to curry favor by peddling vile forms of antisemitic trash". And like. For real. Do you know how antisemitic you have to be in order to get JVP to call you an antisemite????

This is the kind of shit “antizionists” live to smear online.

Jews don’t believe in a devil or in a “permanent” hell. Jesus was Jewish, but we don’t believe in him as a prophet.

A Zionist Jew and an Anti-Zionist Jew walk into a bar.

The bartender says, “We don’t serve Jews.”
