no worries at all, I did not take offense

That's fair enough, my bad lol

I'm surprised more people here don't care about the part where they go "THIS FICTIONAL COUNTRY IS NORTH KOREA" "NORTH KOREA IS BAD", maybe there are other series that do this, but one of the worst ones I've seen

Yeah, the video mentions that multiple people are still around in leadership positions that were there during the time where that was a thing so you would probably hope to see some accountability from those individuals, In theory you could do that without changing the name and logo, but I feel like a lot of people will never look at it the same way after learning where it came from.

I think, at a bare minimum they should change the name and logo, but maybe I'm a lib for that as it would probably just be performative, just seems indefensible to me to keep it

Only if Kazakhstan and Belarus gets them returned too, if we really want to be fair here

Was almost sure this would pass, it did hopefully groups like the ACLU can minimize the damage so every group that protests isn't immediately regarded as a terrorist group, Democrats doing a fantastic job of making me somehow even less likely to vote next time around

Tbf the UK would have used veto power too if they didn't only need one veto to stop it and are esentially pretending like they support a ceasefire to avoid bad PR, probably the same thing for a least a few of the other countries on the council like France and Japan, although I'm 100% confident the UK is faking it and less so for the other countries

I think he doesn't get through the confirmation process, but not because he's a creep, instead for some asinine reason like he's not old enough

I think this is extremely anti social behaviour, but also very funny that people are giving you a reason why they blocked you and sharing it with other people, I can't even begin to imagine the lists of some people on here if this feature was on lemmy, "@HexbearsStrongestSoldier" blocked on 1000 different lists

Do you want to know something funny? The term Sabra comes from the name of the prickly pear cactus plant in Hebrew and the settlers assumed the cactus was a native plant to the territory. So they thought a plant represented them that they assumed was native to the land, but actually was not at all native to the land.

Since the early days of Jewish immigration to then-Mandate Palestine, Israelis have called the ideal Israeli, who is born in the country, a sabra: tough on the outside like the thorny fruit, soft on the inside like its sweet flesh, and native to the soil like the plant. (Although like many Israelis, sabra is actually an immigrant, having arrived from the Americas via Spain several centuries ago.)
