I did not claim Germany was the US, my worry is that increased German military spending will end up benefiting Israel's campaign of genocide against Gaza. Seems fairly reasonable considering it's the second largest military equipment provider of a bloodthirsty and ruthless army that has gone as far as killing twelve year old kids to prevent them from giving damning testimonies.
mod edit: no, you cannot do this sort of thing
Is so evil that you cannot even be sure it was target killing or just usual IDF blood-thirst. Is not like Netanyahu cares that much about reputation, unless he is afraid that Trump genuinely turns on him thanks to Qatar’s Money.
Oh… what it has to do with Germany not wanting to depend of the U.S. in national self defense anymore?

About those tankie talking points:
Mekanos wrote:Vietnam too. There's not really any way to describe what the U.S. did to Vietnam other than a genocide, I think.
This country was built on genocide, land theft, and chattel slavery. There is no low we haven't sunk to.
Not only because Vietnam doesn’t even believe that but Mekanos has also shilled for genocide deniers in the Socialist thread.
Quote:The USA conducted a genocidal bombing campaign against North Korea just after WW2. It has a lot of parallels with what Israel is doing in Gaza now.
Holy shit.

Like 4chan, Something Awful and a lot of those boards were kind of awful if you weren't a straight white cis guy, where casual racism, a fuckton of ableism, homophobia, misogyny etc that would just go unchallenged and when it was it was mocked as no fun, downplayed as "just jokes" or being told it was actually good. Like it's hard not to notice just how common the R-Word was or mockery of autism or using autism as an insult was, like we criticize Twitter for this crap (and rightfully so) but it feels like those sites just added a speaker to what was already there. Like it's honestly just cringe looking back at just how immature and edgy a lot of it was and just how openly woman hating it was, like I feel like so much of modern gamergate comes from that culture.
And also and these reason thought about this (specifically I was spurred by Izzzyzzz recent video about 2000s Internet hoaxes), a lot of the humour of that day came from attacking teenagers and kids and that's honestly really fucked up. Like this was also a thing in the 90s with Jake Lloyd and Brittney Spears from attacking celebrity kids like Justin Bieber, Kristen Steward and Miley Cyrus, from wanting them to die or be brutalized or mocking them and their fans was so common. But beyond that, so much of felt like it was attacking teens and kids OCs, "mary sues" etc, especially attacks on women teens and kids (like let's be honest, it's hard no to notice how women dominated spaces like shapping, fanfics, OCs etc got the brunt of the mockery and hate). It's hard not to notice how so much of the Furry hate was based around homophobia. So much of the humour was just kicking down to make people feel better about themselves.
Like the sites may have changed, it's sadly become more and more mainstream, but a lot of the stuff back then never went away and in many cases has improved or their has been efforts to make things better, I feel their are way more safer spaces for women to talk, Furry have become more and more accepted, people are more aware about the toxicity of fandoms etc. I am NOT saying things are better, I'm NOT saying things can't improved or that enshitfication hasn't happened. I just don't see the 00s and the early 10s as some golden years that got tainted by corporate media. Stuff was bad and they made it worse.

I think the fact that most countries don’t look like San Francisco and so are to some extent quite ethnically homogeneous breaks their brains.
Most countries in the world, if you go to war with them, will end up with you killing lots of people of a certain culture or ethnicity. That’s not the same thing as attempting to eradicate them.

I'm gonna keep it real here, Guilty Gear Strive is like a fighting game magnet for the weirdest people ever. My friends who were Guilty Gear fans during Xrd and earlier have told me that Strive attracts the type of people who buy bodypillows and make characters like Bridget and Baiken their entire identity.
Makes sense why it has a lot of crossover with the Smash community
Wasn’t BlazBlue also like that by the end of the fighting series?

Quote:So one night, you're outside and you see a shooting star... Except it isn't a shooting star it's a small ship flying right in your direction. The ship crashes a hundred yards away and when you approach, a bright purple man tries to get out of the ship but is too fatally injured. He looks at you and says (paraphrasing here):
"Hey fucker! I'm dying, that sucks. Anyway, my ring chose you, don't have time to explain. blah."
Before giving you the ring and a green lantern then dying, his green clothes disappearing leaving him bollock naked in front of you.
You soon learn that the Ring actually can give you superpowers through the power of your willpower; given you a green, black and white while using it and giving you the power of flight, enhanced straight, speed and durability, translate all languages for you and most notably, allows you to create in object, creature etc (albeit green) though hard light constructs.
You need to recharge the ring every so often with the green lantern (highly inefficient design) and it's only weaknesses is that it can't affect or damage yellow things or if your really unlucky, wood.
So... WHAT HAPPENS!?!?!
Especially when The Green Lantern Corp comes looking for you?
 "Hey fucker! I'm dying, that sucks. Anyway, my ring chose you, don't have time to explain. blah."

You could tell she never truly recovered from it but she was still a joy to be with
With a grandparent you expect it? They had a fulfilled life. Got to experience everything you could hope for. But it just felt like her story wasn't over and it was just completely and unexpectedly cut short due to an illness she didn't realize she had seven days ago (literally). Her bowels just died and they couldn't save her. Like, what? Didn't even know that happens.
I will miss our ten minute conversations we had every day. They weren't much but I'm introverted so to me they were the world. She was a good friend and a third parent to my kids.
I don't know. I'm just now realizing how different grief is when a death happens to someone who's story isn't finished. And it's very hard. If you can share any empathetic words of how you dealt with it I would appreciate it
I'm sorry that happened and all, but I can't help wondering once again if these people are actually over the age of 13.
