So I know lots of women, but I haven't the faintest idea of their names; for example I know of Henry the VIII's multiple wives, I know of the woman who discovered something to do with radiation and had to be buried in a lead lined coffin, I recall the girl who used to kill Nazis and then killed her interrogator with his own gun, etc.

It's fine, I think most people generally have tentatively reaccepted the French into the human race.

What happens when you hire the cheapest artist on tumblr

[โ€“] [email protected] 30 points 7 months ago

Ah yes, probably from the same school of thought that gave us "The young should stop eating out and having avocado toast", and then when covid hit, "You should eat out to help out and have some avocado toast"

From "Stop wasting your money on the new iphone", and then during covid to "You should buy the new iphone"

That's the kind of fun historical fact I like reading about, much like the stuff in the horrible histories books.

Car companies making their cars follow video game rules like it's the villains driving them.

I feel like they don't care, because incidence of actual antisemitism in the West would strengthen Israel

I mean they (mossad) can't get away with tossing grenades in synagogues like they did in the Middle East in the past

Maybe they have an almost entirely volcel society

I enjoyed 9 but similar to 8, at a certain point in the storyline in 9 I felt the story was done and stopped. (Spoiler) I defeated the evil queen and felt the story concluded enough and couldn't be drawn into playing the rest; it was hard to imagine what other threat could feel so personal after her defeat.

Similarly in 8, there was a point I can't recall at all where I felt the story was concluded enough and stopped.

Doesn't help that I hate missing stuff and google missable lists to avoid it and then keep on top of that; it's probably the reason I'm a huge fan of roguelikes.

Jewish culture and history

Zionism

No one here has a problem with Jewish culture and history, Zionism though we do. Socialist and anarchist settler colonialists are still settler colonialists. Those socialist and anarchists you're talking about, do they fight alongside Palestinian resistance against the Israeli state? In South Africa for example, there were white people who were sympathetic to the plight of black South Africans and aided the ANC especially in sabotage operations; I haven't heard of socialist and anarchist Israelis who do the same. There was a guy whose name escapes me who I believe was Jewish, who also fought alongside Che if I recall correctly, who initially supported Zionism, but when he went to Israel and saw what Israel was, he fought alongside the Palestinian resistance (having some trouble finding him; he was posted about here on hexbear). Israelis who support Palestinian resistance absolutely have our support here.

If I recall correctly, the Hagana, Irgun and Lehi brigade eventually became the modern day IDF (literally). Those Nazi worshippers today are an important cultural aspect of Israel, in the form of helping to brainwash Israeli youth, and they're also remembered as heroes by Israel (and 'remembered' as in the very same terrorists back then who are still alive today are remembered. This wasn't so long ago that it's beyond living memory). Israelis also usually go out and protest any time a member of the IDF is on trial for murdering a Palestinian.

I've basically always thought it would be a funny solution to everyone's gripe with Hamas to just give them new branding as well and voila, problem solved.
