he was vegetarian because he had like fucked up gastrointestinal issues, not because he particularly cared for the lives of animals or anything

yeah certain lives mattering while others are considered cheap & expendable never fails to get me

most of the time libs will spot "life is cheap in the orient" as appalling and racist but this kind of thing keeps flying. refugees drowning in the mediterranean is another big example in the modern era.

It would be interesting to have a game that explores asymmetric warfare. Although now I'm realizing I'm basically wishing for Terrorism Simulator 3000 from the perspective of the imperial core, which wouldn't fly. Red Faction: Guerilla has a bit of this I guess.

I can't expect media people to know wtf they're talking about on many topics, but you'd think they'd at least be literate on other parts of the media???

There isn't any dissonance involved, IOF soldiers are incredibly racist and don't view Palestinians as human. They are perfectly happy shooting as many of them as possible.

god, between this shit and israel floating 20 ridiculous atrocity propaganda stories a day my dumb fucking belief that people must feel a shred of shame for telling absolutely blatant fucking lies is dying a harder death than Steve Irwin

It'll be great when the only way to tell whether a phone canvasing call is a real person or not is to say you're too busy writing a python program implementing the navier-stokes equations to go vote for their candidate, could they help with that?

ok so what I'm reading is that you're one of those people who moved to the right and instead of accepting this about yourself you've decided the entirety of society changed instead

social and technological progress will stop if we don't get to make jokes about trans people

probably one of the dumber things I've ever read

holy shit this might actually be the funniest fucking thing to happen all year

omg stealth games are real. MGSV IS REAL. YOU REALLY CAN SNEAK UP ON PEOPLE LIKE THAT

idk why I don't hear anybody saying this but "from the river to the sea" is compatible with a one state solution of reintegration a la South Africa. Yes there will be internal violence. Yes the settlers will run and hide in gated communities within gated communities. Yes it will take over 100 years to become something resembling a normal country.

You have to understand this question isn't about the actual question. 90% of a debate is won by who gets to frame the issue. The other 10% is just tactical wrangling within whatever narrow frame was established, heavily favoring whoever chose the frame. This question is about framing the issue. Just don't accept it. Don't accept the framing. Don't even waste a minute responding to it in any way whatsoever.
