As I'm learning Dutch, I'm reminded that the idea that there are people who believe that the bible is to be taken literally. The idea that a several hundred year old translation of a collection of texts in multiple languages, that were themselves translated multiple times between languages, before the whole thing was translated to Latin, then being translated to English, could somehow perfectly reflect the original text... Yeah, it's only possible to believe that if you have no idea how languages work and have never learned another language.
Like, just from linguistic drift alone if the bible were written in King James English you're losing *so* much context. But Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek translated to Latin, then to English, then to English again?
There are so many things that erg can't be translated, even as a beginner. Dutch and English are two of the closest languages that exist, they're both Germanic languages and they're the closest to each other (other than Friesian). You can't really be much closer, and yet, there are so many things you can't mutually represent. Hebrew and Latin, Aramaic and Latin, Latin and English, Greek and English, these aren't even the same families at all... They're extremely distant. There's absolutely no way to represent concepts from one to another without another book's worth of explanation.
And that ignores all the cultural context, which is mostly lost and a library and decade of education to get the stuff that we *do* know.
Only monolingual Americans could come up with an idea so incredibly asinine.

Antisemitismuskritische Arbeit - auf der Fusion leider unerwünscht

Fusionistas against Antisemitism & Antizionism on Instagram: "Der Kulturkosmos (Kuko) hat unseren antifaschistischen Infostand von Fusionistas against Antisemitism & Antizionism gestern Abend kurzfristig und unter fadenscheinigen Gründen verboten. Wir hätten angeblich Formalitäten nicht eingehalten. Dies ist eine weitere Eskalation seitens des Kuko, nachdem sie bereits in ihrem Newsletter im letzten November die antisemitischen Vorfälle auf der Fusion 2024 geleugnet haben und alle Versuche unserseits, mit ihnen in einen konstruktiven Austausch zu kommen, ignoriert haben. Antisemitismus auf der Fusion wird nicht weniger, indem man ihn ignoriert oder versucht antisemitismuskritische Arbeit zu verhindern und damit einen öffentlichen Diskurs über die Problematik zu vermeiden. Ein weiterer Ort des Austauschs und der Diskussion wird so verhindert. Ein derartiges autoritäres Verhalten widerspricht allen Ansprüchen an eine pluralistische und möglichst hierarchiefreie linke Bewegung und erschwert den gemeinsamen Kampf gegen Antisemitismus und Rassismus.
