I have never understood why people anticipate game realeases - I mean, people have learned how the AAA game industry works by now, right?

They don’t bat an eyelid when you accuse Israel of being an Apartheid-state - it’s like water flowing off a duck’s back. Call Israel a kapo state, however, and they lose their shit. That they can’t ignore.

I recently came back to Lemmy from reddit to escape the batshit pro-Israel censorship happening on there right now and I have to say that the quality of the content and discussion has just gone up.

How convenient… every time Israel indiscriminately murders Palestinians, it’s just going to be blamed on Palestinians?

and care for its citizens,

If the Israeli government cared about the people it (supposedly) represents it wouldn’t be turning them into violent colonialist goons to do the west’s bidding in the middle-east, would it?

You might just as well ask how to fix the Apartheid-regime without upsetting white people or fix the Nazi regime without discomforting Nazis.

The conflict is extremely complicated.

It really isn’t. It’s just pro-Israeli propaganda pretending it’s complicated.

You just tried to say that Israel’s supporters are antisemitic?

No. I never tried to say it.

I just plain said it - the countries that enable Israel is as antisemitic and white supremacist as they have always been. They’ve been hiding it since WW2 - but, as the resurgence of mask-off far-right ideology in the US and Europe proves, it’s still the same old west.

The west’s support for Israel has always been antisemitic - dumping European Jewish people in Palestine was literally one the Nazi’s potential solutions to the “Jewish Question”. It’s no secret - just mundane history that westerners doesn’t like talking about.

Christian Zionism predates Jewish Zionism - the whole reason these white supremacist and antisemitic societies fantasized about a modern-day “Israel” was simply because they did not believe Jewish people belonged in their precious “white” societies.

You don’t have to think about it for very long to see it for yourself - who were the people that made it so difficult for Jewish people to “belong” in western societies? If the US was so friendly and welcoming to Jewish people as the US wants to pretend it is (prominent Jewish people like Steven Spielberg and Noam Chomsky will happily tell you about US-style antisemitism), why would Jewish people need a “homeland” in the middle-east?

It’s never just been the US - Israel doesn’t just have a whole bunch of enablers… said enablers also back the very idea of a modern-day Israel.

France, the UK, Germany, Australia, Apartheid-era South Africa all played their part in helping with all this - I guess the fact that it’s all countries with histories that are deeply entwined with white supremacism, antisemitism and colonialism is purely coincidence, eh?

Also, i thought ghengis khan was all about meritocracy.

No… Genghis Khan wasn’t a joke. Meritocracy is.

There is such a thing as a “non-extremist” right-winger?

I learnt meritocracy is a joke long before I discovered that it was literally invented to be a joke.

But it already is, isn’t it?

So if this…

nobody’s main defining characteristic should be their gender.

…is what you really want you need to start with cis people and not transgender ones, correct?

“Superhuman” at what? I can’t think of anything dumber than trying to breed “desirable” traits into humans - for every “desirable trait” you put in you are ignoring a plethora of traits that allowed our asses to survive for the last 2 million years.

make their gender the defining aspect of their character

The vast majority of cishet people (if not all) make their gender the defining aspect of their character - so why should trans people be any different?

There are very few actual atheists - if any. Most “atheists” I’ve encountered are just edgy non-practising Christians. And I bet that goes for other parts of the world with other religions, too.

Musk is doing more to make people realize how garbage capitalism is than Marx ever could.

i can’t imagine anything worse in the world

I can… there are literally people who are willing to participate in Musk’s Mars colonization fantasies. They stand about as much chance of success (or survival) as those people who got imploded in that Titanic sub - except their deaths won’t be as quick and merciful.

It was normalized in the US because white settlers always had to be ready to commit genocide against indigenous people or put down slave revolts - that’s what the 2nd amendment was really all about. In a socialist community, firearms will be necessary because there will always be nazis about (not to mention their ex-cop friends).
