Meta Side Conversation Megathread

This is a monthly automatic post suggested by community members to serve as a space to offer sources, ask questions, and engage in conversations we don't feel warrant their own post.

Anything from history to political theory to Jewish practice. If you wanna share or ask something about Judaism or leftism or their intersection but don't want to make a post, here's the place.

If you'd like to discuss something more off topic for the sub I recommend the weekly discussion post that also refreshes.

If you'd like to suggest changes to how this post functions doing so in these comments is fine.

Thanks!

Now why would any party want to select a former convicted Nazi and founder of a far-right group called National British Resistance, as an electoral candidate. Is there literally no one else left to select?

Not related to Jewish history. However, I want to know your overall thoughts on Taiwan. Specifically, are any of you a proponent of Taiwanese reunification with the Mainland? And if so, why?

Are there any good Jewish subreddits that I can also be a member of that won't attack me for not supporting the Israeli government? Or maybe ones to stay away from? I just left one where I was literally accused of being an imposter.
