If you’ve seen Scary Movie, it’s the same sort of humor from that era. It isn’t just shows from the 2000s, it’s being a Millennial child in the 2000s that made it palatable.
Rewatching it now is really ugly. Kind of like that Marge Simpson story where her story is really gross, bizarre, and bigoted - a reference to the caricature of Apu - where you’d just find it severely distasteful.
I think that is their rationale; I didn’t mean to imply that I believe this but it is on the back of my mind that this is a grim possibility.
Don’t destroy your life to spite theirs. Spite their life by keeping consistent course of reminding them that their ideology demanded genocide and demanded it be normal. Don’t let it be normal.
A lot of videos, articles, and academics were exclaiming this is the end of Israel. But the US is determined to see this through because any breaks are an admittance that most of the government, legislative, administrative, executive, elected, appointed, and mid level officers were complicit and enabled genocide.
This is a fight over logistics, and Israel has US resources at its disposal.
They plan to get Hamas to surrender, occupy Gaza, cleanse the rest and hide the evidence and investigators, journalists, activists will be barred from inspections. Census, forged.
You can’t remain civil with people trying to downplay genocide through deflection, downscale, and redirection.
If you are trying to articulate why this bothers you, the reader, as it does me then allow me to attempt an articulation:
Giving this person free reign is not civility but license to exercise the normalization of genocide by painting its dissidents as irrational and uncouth; a license to dehumanize the victims of genocide as lost causes because Hamas has disqualified them from human protections. In other words, they are the white moderate from MLK’s reference. Paraphrasing for the modern times: I want to sympathize with your plight but it is unseemly to do so.
Also the lethargic pace of banhammer or just the lolz amusement ideology of interacting with the troll before the ban comes.
Fair enough since making an argument of why one opposes something helps form our identities and understanding of it, but it is kind of trite.
Reaching 80 years in the past as if history was suddenly 1946 -> 2024.
Despite what the geese would tell you, never cuddle with a giant cabbage during hamburger hour at Gamestop.
I just binged KAOS on Netflix and was amazed at how well it was written and narrated. Instantly recognized Cassandra (as the character) haha.
Faraway Paladin stays away from the video game analogue and is just pure fantasy without any real , from what I could remember, slavery/harem tropes.
This Fantasy perfect response is to… *stop arming a genocidal state. *
All your accomplishing here is the expression that you just don’t think Palestinians are really human. Perhaps you don’t think they’re animals, but they’re just complete non-entities in your mind.
If your reality as you perceive it is the same as ours, that our government is enabling genocide, then this is a government that is deeply evil. And in your learned helplessness and political impotence, your lack of imagination and will to change things beyond standing in line to cast a vote and thinking “I did my part”, you scold people for not wanting to vote for the Democrat.
whats going on in the West Bank now?
I once heard that Lenin spoke with an Irish accent. I know a few people from South America that also spoke with a US accent because that’s where their teachers are from.
That’s how 00s forums used to work, e.g: Gamefaqs.
I’d prefer to keep the upbears to ensure which opinions are reactionary or which ones are insightful.
Weddings held abroad are ways for couples to deter relatives and friends from joining; cutting costs and giving an out to people who don’t want to go.
Your former friends were in search of an excuse to ostracize you
Hang out in r/thedeprogram & r/trueanon and steal their memes if you don’t want to mess with Discord.
That Chapo episode about the West Wing saying that what liberals worship isn’t policy or virtues per se but power and the appearance of virtue.
Which is why Trump being President and being the kind of man that he is was more traumatic for liberals than any US foreign or domestic policy failure or success.
They’re not trying to get a ceasefire. Withholding arms would create one faster than the current status quo.
Your good faith assumption of an ongoing 10 month genocide is not naive but willful and spiteful ignorance.
Fuck off and fuck you
12 Kingdoms, Rayearth, Escaflowne, and El Hazard were decent Isekai from what I remember. They’re all from the 90s/00s though.
They still had trash Isekai in the 90s, like Those Who Hunt Elves.
