This is the thing, hearing what the other side has to say can be important. No one has all the answers and our own ideas and beliefs can be made stronger through actual debate and challenging our assumptions. Real debate can make for better policy outcomes. The issue with spaces like Jubilee, however, are that they platform literal bigots and nutcases and normalize them for a broader audience, they aren't having actual debates. It's Crossfire on steroids and everything Jon Stewart said when he shit on them to their faces applies triple here. They take Nazis and treat them like they would a normal ideology. Jubilee functions in a way that makes people think that people like Steve Bannon are exactly the same as people like Mitt Romney, all they do is normalize the fascists and authoritarians by doing what they do. The spaces that function like Jubilee does are a big part of why we have a radicalization problem.

No, b dubs, places like the forum you manage are why we have a radicalization problem. The fact you can’t see that says you’re lost in the woods already.

After 4, which I hated more than any sequel I have ever seen, keep the sisters away from this.

There was a time when I would have said I wouldn't be interested without the Wachowskis… but after Resurrections, I wouldn't be interested unless your can promise they weren't directly involved. So thank god someone else is writing it.

[benji]

Their support of Iran doesn't even make sense. Super conservative dictatorial religious regime that oppresses women, murders gay people, starts proxy wars, limits free speech and denies trans people the dignity of free money and HRT...

That's all forgivable because the regime hates America and Israel. We're not talking about anyone completely harmful and unredeemable like Colin Moriarty or Joanne.

Lol, ethics is for the other people. This is Resetera where declared conflict of interest and ethical behaviour are standards that don't apply.

You know it's bad when the overall sentiment even on reee is that Resurrections sucks 😞

Question: Now that Iran is at war - is it wise to fast all day (energy loss, concentration) or are there exceptions to the rule?

[Straight Edge]

Some racist (or "Tourette's" claimer) says the n-word or video game developer "supports" Gamergate or state government makes you renew your license: punch Nazis, they should live in fear, all our problems are because we don't do enough violence against people who upset us, time to arm up and start fighting back in the streets.

Super conservative oppressive Iranian regime: woah, now, violence isn't the answer here, it's gross to want to see your oppressive rulers overthrown, you should work through proper channels and ask permission, think of the consequences if you supported someone just because they're the enemy of your enemy.

Don't they like force gay dudes to transition...?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Legal and Religious Context

Iran criminalizes homosexuality, with same-sex sexual activity punishable by imprisonment, flogging, or death.
In contrast, gender reassignment surgery (SRS) has been legal since the 1980s, following a fatwa by Ayatollah Khomeini that permitted sex changes for individuals deemed to be in the "wrong body." This religious ruling forms the basis of Iran’s unique legal stance, where transgender identity is recognized—but only through surgical transition.

While the state does not officially mandate that gay individuals undergo SRS, the legal framework creates a stark choice: remain homosexual and face severe punishment, or transition and gain limited legal recognition. This has led to widespread allegations that the system effectively forces gay people to transition as a means of survival

Yikes...

There’s a Gift of the Magi type story in here somewhere. A gay guy secretly transitions to a woman in order to be with the man he loves only to find out that his lover has transitioned as well. It can be called Gift of the Gay Guy.

hey, era always wants to relate things back to video games, I'll fall on the sword here

Nasir Gebelli was a rockstar programmer-for-hire who single-handedly coded Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3, as well as Secret of Mana and less-known games like Rad Racer and 3D World Runner

the reason he learned coding is because his family was forced to flee Iran during the 1979 revolution, he was either related to royalty or (as rumored) was actually literally an Iranian prince in exile

he retired off all the royalties he made in those early Square days and lives comfortably in Sacramento

wonder what his thoughts are on all this

[Boredfrom]

We've been through two of these "regime change" scenarios in the past 30 years in the middle east and neither of them worked out great for the welfare of the citizens living in the countries we invaded and destabilized.

The government massacres in Iran were horrific but our combined strikes alongside Israel are not in coordination with any of the opposition in Iran and we're just recklessly destroying Iran's infrastructure and killing their most innocent people already. If we were ever sincere about a proper regime change, we would not have started this conflict alongside Israel who has been calling for Islamic genocide, and we would have linked up with and coordinated with the actual Iranian opposition instead. We'd be in the Iranian streets with the Iranians themselves if we actually gave a shit about how they're going to benefit from any of this.

Thinking even slightly critically about this approach to the conflict yields very low likelihood that the people of Iran emerge from this any better off. Even if the US withdraws, Israel is fundamentally motivated to continue attacking for no reason beyond bigotry and hatred for the Iran people. Don't swallow the propaganda Kool-Aid.

Holy shit.

[Alpacx]

I like Orochi91's option. Dude should get a Bire account.

[Jansen]

It doesn't matter how brutal the regime gets because as evidenced by the strikes last year and today, IRGC cannot protect anyone in their leadership.



More extreme and younger elements running the country means less competent oversight over foreign elements running rampant within.



Israel and the US can easily start arming protestors going forward.

Because historically this has worked out so well. We should get the CIA out there to train them as well.

One day, The United States and Israel will be seen as how Nazi Germany is seen. I wonder how the German citizens during the following decades felt, coming to the realization that the country they grew up in, and believed from youth to be the good guy, is actually the bad guy. Like, the main villain. On the world stage. Cuz I'm having that realization now. I don't know. Couldn't have been a better time for me to discover Ministry and their music.

[Jansen]

Not voting for any Dem candidate that doesn't run on imprisoning the entire Trump admin.

[Boredfrom]

The world is absolutely fucked. America and Israel can indiscriminately declare war unprovked on any country and no one will do anything.

Step 1 in deradicalizing ResetEra: Ban anybody who asserts there is a Trans genocide. Also anybody saying there was a genocide in Gaza.

I forgot banning Nepenthe. Make that step 0

[Boredfrom]

Is not just genocide at Gaza… but a whole Islamic Genocide.

[Boredfrom]

Era thinks Iran is holding back because of the weak response, when the reality is that haven't replenished their stock from the last time they shot their wad at Israel.

Ballistic missile ain't cheap or quickly produced.

It's not an ability on cooldown? How is that fair? Why hasn't this been patched for balance?

Except these retaliation attacks aren't going to stop further U.S and Israeli attacks. Whats the point of retaliation if it won't stop the attacks? How does Iran restore deterrence in this scenario?

Same way they did last time, when Israel starts running out of interceptors again.

damn tel aviv got rocked. iranian missiles not having much trouble getting through today

where are you seeing this?

Some absolute psychopaths in this thread. Dozens of children were murdered today, there's no reason to blame anyone but the murderers.

 

You fuckers don’t care about innocent lives. Where were you when Iran was killing protesters?
