Is it too much to ask for them to look at it and just say "that's stupid" without getting into a total frothing rage? Most dedicated culture warriors are so embarrassing and dumb.

Many of them come from the left, from a time when the left was a bit less cringy. That's why they can't meme...
I was born a decade afterward, and I honestly would have kids watch classic 90s and 2000s Nick or CN shows than any of the current bullshit

Loved the theme for that show.
No kidding. Actual conversation I witnessed between a pair of sisters about the daughter of one of them:
The proud mom: "We're watching the She-Ra episodes I watched growing up."
The wine aunt: "Oh, you should show her the new She-Ra! It's so progressive!"
(Sigh.) We've classic Looney Tunes, Rocky & Bullwinkle, up to more recent stuff like the Disney Afternoon block. Literal decades of genuinely entertaining stuff. What people really need to realize is that we don't need their shit.

It's one thing for kids' media to have a family with two dads or two mums (along with single parent families, adopted kids, kids with divorced parents and the like, kids will probably know other kids with different family setups) as a neutral element. It's another thing entirely to preach an ideology about their being such a thing as a gender identity in the first place and expecting everyone to believe in it and affirm it. If it's pushing a religious or cult belief, it should say so, so that parents can choose. Though even most religious programming aimed at kids doesn't go this hard in insisting everyone must convert or at least pretend to agree. It's like the difference between having a Jewish character as part of a diverse cast, and having the character demand everybody else convert to Judaism and everybody just immediately accepts the tenets of Judaism as undisputed fact.

Lindsay, you are a lesbian, a pooner, a Jew, an American, a rich woman, an unmarried woman who is not a virgin, a practitioner of witchcraft, and a corrupter of children. The Palestinians wouldn't even bother to throw you off a building, it'd just be an unending conga line of rape until you died from shock and blood loss... a rape that would be filmed and posted to your family's social media accounts for maximum effect.
I know you get a narcissistic high from fighting for the underdog's civil rights, but could you at least pretend to have some semblance of self awareness? There is nothing more ridiculous than trying to be an ally to people who loathe and despise you on every possible level and who would absolutely not hesitate to end your life in the most agonising, humiliating, lingering way should they ever get their hands on you.

A Tarot deck that's so scared of destructive imagery it's completely redone the Tower? The Hanged Man, the Devil, and Death must be real prizes as well. Good thing you only use it for social media clout and don't try to use it for actual divination, you'd have no way of conceptualizing bad things with it. (I'm not into that sort of thing myself but I always think of the decks that avoid "bad" images as decks hole-in-the-wall fortune tellers use on their marks. You'd think if you thought you had a way of really predicting the future - or even just recontexualizing known events like I've seen some people use it - you'd want it to have a few warning bells in it.)
Also, LOL for the note basically admitting to doing the bullshit magick wrong.

Ah yes, an actual conflict that has lasted far, far longer than everyone's been alive compared to 'muh trans genocide'.

Now I'm curious if what the Tower is supposed to represent has also changed. Not only that, but what is up with the depiction for Strength? In most iterations the woman has a firm but gentle control over the lion, not some display of brute force.

The Tower
Illustration of Memorial Flame, 1902
A tower of flames rise into the night sky.

Reversed: Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster
Strength
David Fights a Lion
A man wrestles a lion, prying open it’s jaws with his bare hands.
Upright: Strength, courage, inuence, compassion, determination
Reversed: Inner strength, self-doubt

Traditionally, the woman in Strength gently and calmly holds the lion's jaws. Many modern desks, the woman (or man) doesn't even have to touch the lion's head; she rides or leans against him, because she has used her strength, courage, and compassion to tame him, and he trusts her because she has never harmed him.>prying open its jaws
>compassion
It's not uncommon for themed decks to depart fairly drastically from the original Rider-Waite, but... yeah.
And the Tower is just... wrong.
The Tower is arguably the worst card in the Major Arcana. It represents catastrophe, destruction, the wages of sin and arrogance. It depicts the fall of humanity from the Tower of Babel in the moment of God's destruction. Honestly, I'd rather pull the 10 of Swords than the Tower. The 10 of Swords is you betrayed; the Tower is your just deserts and you have no one to blame but yourself.
Lindsay... if you're going to sling cards get a traditional tarot deck and study it properly. Rider-Waite, the Thoth, either system is fine, pick which appeals most.
If you just want to look like you have some kind of mystical insight without actually putting in the work, than find a Jewish version of a Doreen Virtue unicorn Oracle.
Because that spread of cards you've laid out says far more about the person who pulled them and very little about Palestine or Israel.

It isn't necessary for the imargy to conform with Rider-Waite-Smith, or any other specific deck, so long as the reader has both 'positive' and 'negative' interpretations for different cards. RWS is traditional, but it's not the be-all and end-all of tarot, it's just the most commercially successful deck. It's deliberately missing a lot of the Golden Dawn symbolism it was based upon. A Jewish deck might even lean more heavily on the Kabbalah aspect that RWS sort of explored.
No particular tarot deck is needed for divination. My first deck, back when I was a student, was the good old RWS; our instructor (she ran a community college night class), insisted we all use the same deck for simplicity but that one wasn't even her favoured, just the simplest for newbies to access and understand - she was a Motherpeace deck and playing card fan.
What makes RWS easier is the limited colour pallet and that it has descriptive illustrations for the minor arcana (the regular ace-10 and court cards). That is one reason for its popularity as most older decks, and some current ones, did not so it was able to grab the market early. Additionally, RWS had that GD link, which gave it an aura with the public as GD was the best-known occult society of its day. These reasons are also why it's the most copied. I'm not familiar with the one ol' Lindz is using, but B&W decks are often meant to be coloured in by the owner. Hers are more sepia, so likely intended to use as-is, but I'd not be able to resist embellishing them myself. Every deck I have is altered in some way, even if just adding a metallic leaf border. I even have one I illustrated myself from blank cards, giving me complete freedom to include any interpretive meaning I want.
I have a few dozen different decks stashed away, including the RWS and the aforementioned Motherpeace (one of the few round decks). I've also collected fancy playing card decks for the same purpose. Oracle decks, those packs with a theme but not structured like tarot or playing cards, aren't traditionally my style but one of the two I have, the Faries deck based on Brian Froud art, has become a fav of late - what can I say, I'm a Dark Crystal nerd. The point is that it doesn't matter which deck a reader uses as long as the images mean something to them. There are loads of great readers who swear by dollar store playing card decks.
Tarot is a your-milage-may-vary sort of deal. I've never had a good reading done by someone else - in fact, I've been turned down by a few street market readers who insisted I was 'too blocked' (aka, they know I'm not a credulous mark) - but I do well for myself. I don't read for others often but the feedback I get is positive. I consider that weak evidence as people who ask for readings want it to work, which distorts perspective, but if it gets them thinking or gives them joy then what's the harm? It's not like I charge them for it. To me, tarot is more of a tool for introspection or adding clarity to events than anything else. I feel that's true of most people who use tarot within a wider belief system.

even though i don't respect her mystical queer tarot judaism, that mindset is her reality and given those parameters, i think her position on #CurrentWar is respectable.
israel is constantly trying to scare jewish people into supporting israel and i would expect many jewish trans people, already subject to histrionics by their nature, to reflexively buy into the muh homeland argument at the end of the day
...especially since the "other side" of this right now is a group that, as others have noted, doesn't like jews or genderspecials. lindsay sucks but imo she is going against the mainstream currents on this one.
i hope this doesn't derail the thread, i really don't want to argue about this middle-eastern shit, i am just making a point about lindsay
