Wait, what is the jellyfish one, that’s new to me.

Or like w/ real-time-strategy games: even if you leave the AI opponent just one unit left, it never gives up, and will spend days building back what it once had to kill you.

Even RTS bots are better than this now, most games since like SC2 the bots will surrender when it becomes unwinnable.

haven’t they been asking citizens abroad to come back to fight?

I drink both, does that make me some kind of filthy centrist?

Languages are the one thing I tend to be fairly good at, but I have also never studied any Afroasiatic languages before. Could be fun, even if a challenge. Assuming I am not getting too old for such undertakings.

I really need to try to learn Arabic one of these days, it seems like such a useful language and I have always been really interested. There’s too many languages I want to learn though and I might be hitting critical mass on that front.

Plus how can you go wrong with learning a language that has sayings like that.

True, I don’t think you can technically betray your toys. You just break them and move on.

I’m an anarchist.

We can tell.

I know you communists loooove to write off human rights abuse if it fits your narrative,

Oh boy, I hesitate to ask which supposed human rights abuse you are going with. Gulags? Uyghurs?

I agree it would be very nice if we had “good guys v bad guys” but that’s…just not the way the world works.

You’re making a strawman, nobody here is claiming it to be that black and white, they just said Hamas are not the bad guys. They did not say they are pure good guys that can do no wrong.

Hamas may be fighting an equally right-wing authoritarian monster

What does authoritarian mean here? Or are we just throwing out buzzwords? Trying to draw some kind of false equivalence between Hamas and Israel is disingenous at best, and actively promoting Israeli propaganda. How would you prefer the Palestinian people resist? Because I swear to god if you say a peaceful protest/march, I will scream.

The fact of the matter is that the issues Marxism has with their fundamentalist beliefs aren’t even close to their primary concerns right now. It’s the same thing when people go “Oh yeah, well you know Hamas doesn’t support gay rights. GOT EM!”. Ignoring the fact that they are in a battle for their very existence. Once Palestine has won the basic right to exist we can revisit these issues.

Not to mention that these are people who were, by and large, born and raised in a literal concentration camp. Many of them know no life outside that concentration camp. Honestly none of us have any right to cast judgement on their methods because it is impossible to understand that.

It probably depends where you look, but I feel the most rational voices have largely left reddit. There’s oasises here or there, but worldnews sure isn’t going to be one.

I haven’t looked at reddit for a long while, but I feel that being banned from worldnews was practically a rite of passage for leftists using reddit. I am not remotely surprised that they would be consistent about taking the worst stance possible.

Who let slip our grand plan of dousing masks with Marxist conversion chemicals!? Foiled again!

We would have gotten away for it if it weren’t for you pesky reactionaries.

I mostly played JRPGs, so is running around in a circle the “right way” for me? That explains a lot really.

I know you’ve already been banned, but just in case another lib stumbles across the thread I will reply anyway.

They’ve tried peaceful marches. Israel shot the peaceful protestors and the world largely ignored it. The fact you didn’t know about them shows how easily ignored they were.

Which, I understand, is entirely what ghouls like you want, something easily ignored.

If they read books they probably wouldn’t be here making that argument.

I would argue that there wouldn’t be much of a Palestine left to talk about if it weren’t for Hamas, Israel would have probably successfully purged them from the country. We all saw how effective the last peaceful protest went over.

A lot of ours come in late spring to early summer.

I don’t think Japan quite understands the oktober part. People just want beer and sausage. Which…fair enough.

“the CIA assassins can’t figure out why their attempts keep failing”.

TIL that Castro was actually Superman in disguise. Suddenly everything makes sense.

They have heard that they are safe now from the scary tankies and are all en route.

I heard he might have ties to the Chinese government too!

Can you begin to imagine being born and living your entire life in a concentration camp? Having children and knowing that they will know nothing but life as a prisoner. Now imagine that just outside your cages a bunch of your jailers are having a party. What would your reaction be?

No, those attendees are not IDF operatives but they are settlers that are part of the Palestinians people’s subjugation. Look, I understand that there are people born in Israel who did not choose to be there and I have some sympathy for specifically those people, though they should not be at a festival next to a concentration camp regardless. However, unlike the Palestinians THEY COULD LEAVE. In fact, in response to the attacks on Saturday many of them did just that. Guess what the Palestinians can’t do, even if they wanted to leave their home.

And the Palistinians have no choice in the way they resist the occupation?

They tried peaceful protests years ago, Israeli forces shot them, specifically targeting medical personnel. The UN investigated it and determined that basically every fatality at the protests were unjustified, and condemned Israel for it. Then the international community proceeded to do absolutely nothing else.

Would you prefer they try that a few more times?
