As a gamer, this makes me sad.

Same here. I remember the OG Xbox and 360 so fondly growing up it's a shame to see the brands downfall in realtime

They just openly allow Nazis to post there now?

Not only that but fund the genocide company

I'd really like the Hasan defenders to explain why it's so bad for the dog to just walk through the room. He keeps on talking about how her training is being destroyed and how spoiled she is and all she does is stand up from her bed.

Someone hasn't been reading up. Hasan has one of those dog breeds that die if move.

32 years old and single and I'm too busy right now trying to sell my home and moving out of state to date right now. I want to get right back to it when I move and get settled again.

Didn't he (or parents) just buy that house?

Yes, think he was even engaged too

Protesting Kamala Harris in the year 2025 is just an absolute waste of time and serves no purpose whatsoever.

The fact these people are doing this, rather than at the facists murdering and destroying the world, tells you everything you need to know about their character and intentions.

I always see you in posts unabashed in your support for Ukraine, it being a red line when it comes to support for any party, but this is the second time I've seen you play this game with Palestine, why shouldn't people protest the dems and republicans who are both in unison when it comes to the genocide of Palestinians?

Maybe this post will help clear that up for you

*uses post from 2019 as a proof*

Doesn’t this prove that “genocide” has been used cheap rhetoric way to win arguments and propaganda? 

Doesn’t dismiss  how horrific the war was but sounds like a pretty incompetent genocide.

[DavidCroquet]

So now the genocide goes back to 2019? Longer? Gonna be a very empty forum soon if that’s the standard.

Are they missing that he posted that in 2019? At that point this idea of a Palestine genocide was very niche and I assume not supported by any experts

People like to blame Don Mattrick for the downfall of Xbox but I don't think that's fair. Overall Mattrick guessed correctly that Smart TV would be big soon after the Xbox One launch but it was too early and easier to build that into the TVs themselves. He actually released a beta Smart TV. He consolidated resources into HALO, Gears, Fable and Forza to ensure a steady flow of first party releases. The output ratio of studios vs. games was way better. He tried to balance the Kinect and core gaming stuff and wanted to expand the market for Xbox while also keeping it profitable. Overall he made smart business moves and couldn't have known AMD would fuck up the CPU that much. Even so, Xbox One still traded blows with PS4.

Sony believed they could turn the 'core gaming' ship around with PS4 and thought the Kinect/Wii fad was over by the time the new boxes would drop and made the right call short term.

Phil Spencer ultimately killed the Xbox with stupidity. Anchoring the Series X to the Series S. Going on a shopping spree. Not focusing on the quality of the games. Cancelling stuff people actually like about Xbox such as the backwards compatibility program. Dropping a next gen console without any real next gen games. Losing exclusives left and right to PS5. Distracting side projects like the retard controller and the list goes on.

Had they kept Mattrick on, steady HALO, Forza, Gears releases, expanded on that with a couple more games. Things would've looked much better long term. He made the right moves but just 2 - 3 years too soon and he wasn't cut out to also be the spokesperson better behind the scenes. I think Spencer might be the dumbest executive ever running a big platform.

When Jim Ryan quit PlayStation I guessed he did so because he could see the writing on the wall.

I just love how much the ActiBlizzard purchase has completely fucked Microsoft over and basically set them on the path to going third-party  I don't think there's ever been such a major fuck-up like it in gaming.

A second shock video has hit the timeline

I'm leaning towards this one really just being a coincidence though 

no...no that's really obvious

you see him notice something, pause, hear him pick something up off the desk, dog moves in a startled way, then he repeats himself...

This perspective fails to recognize that a politics that addresses the question of Palestine correctly likely addresses a host of other issues correctly. Which is why Gaza is not a "single issue" nor a purity test as some may say. It helps to identify a person's political views and ideology, and is a great way to cut to the rot of our toxic political system full of Israeli lobbies and Zionists. This all can be tied to the imperial boomerang of surveillance, policing, incarceration, the unjust criminal justice system, land rights, etc.

As is usual, Malcolm X tied these things together long ago, "As long as we think that we should get Mississippi straightened out before we worry about the Congo, you'll never get Mississippi straightened out."

The Question of Palestine can be similarly applied.

Okay, so... the answer is the United States invades both Israel and Palestine and forces them to submit to absorption into a global state where both are irrelevant permanent minorities with no rights?

Jeez, somebody needs to start watching Hasan so they can learn about global affairs.

I was going to make a joke here about Peru because I remember someone once brought it up in a thread about the Indigenous and Nepenthe was dismissive of it being a more important concern than being mad about the Avatar films but I couldn't find it in a search not too long ago and I'm scared it's a mythological post too. (The reference for those who don't watch Hasan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peruvian_political_crisis_(2016%E2%80%93present) including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peruvian_protests_(2022%E2%80%932023) though this is not to downplay the almost entire rest of the world where using the military or militarized police violently against protesters is the norm.)

User banned (1 month): inflammatory rhetoric

If her legacy is genocide then by that logic the pro Palestine protesters legacy is electing Donald Trump. Good job and congrats?

 User banned (2 weeks): inflammatory commentary

Some people just relish in blaming minorities on political losses. Regardless of how completely false it is.

It's not "false" per se. Trump performed better in heavily minority precincts all across the country, including in heavily Arab American precincts. He got more raw votes too, more minorities voted for him than ever before.

I dunno if I'd frame it as "their fault", but they were instrumental in getting him elected.

I can't believe religious conservatives would vote Republican.

Since the US has the strongest military in the world I guess he wins by technicality. Masterfully argued, sir. No, let's not ask about how not even 0.01% of that strength has ever been used against the American people.

This is usually the part where they smugly mention Kent State as if the fact that single event in history has such a recognizable name and was half a century ago doesn't disprove the idea that it happens all the time.

Palestine protest thread is getting good. 
https://www.resetera.com/threads/pro-palestinian-protestor-tells-kamala-harris-her-legacy-is-genocide-and-gets-an-angry-response.1323058/page-8

Explain how.

In detail.

This is wrong and has been explained in the thread already

Well, that is factually wrong. Wanna try again?

Because you did miss the point. You were deflecting and ignoring what was already said in the thread. What else do you want me to say at that point? Here, I'll type more this time:

It was already pointed out multiple times in this thread that protesting Harris (while she's on a book tour, making money off of the election she lost and handed to a fascist) helps send a message to other politicians who are less accessible because they are not on book tours.

Also, please tell me the "more constructive ways to support the people of Gaza." And they have to be things that doing this protest would somehow take away from. Because you can protest Trump one day and Harris the next. You can protest Harris while donating money to pro-Palestinian charities.

You are pretending that this is an "either or" situation when it is not.

People get so locked into the "orange man bad" mentality that they are unable to parse reality from what they want to believe. Because yes, the orange man is bad. He is a white supremacist and a fascist. He is worse than Harris in almost every possible metric and both America and the world would be better with Harris in the White House.

I do not believe Trump cares about the lives of Palestinians for a single second. Every decision he makes and everything he pushes for is to serve himself.

But we can't put our fingers in our ears and pretend that the ceasefire didn't happen under him, after Harris openly stated she would be the same as Biden. Those are things that happened.

Some people seem to be angrier at the idea of Trump getting credit for the ceasefire than they are happy at the ceasefire happening. But when it comes to this specific topic, all anger should be pointed at Harris, her campaign, and the democrats that gave Trump the ability to take credit.

Harris could have said, "When I am president, I will demand an immediate ceasefire and cut off funding to Israel until it happens." It would have been a popular decision. It would have helped her on election day. She didn't do that, because she agreed with what the US was doing.

I'm not going to remark on the subject of voting responsibility and Democrats because it's a waste of time and energy and it's clear folks haven't even learned to blame Trump voters for voting for Trump.

What's interesting to me though is the naked admittance that people still are not processing the dialectical relationships present within our economic and geopolitical reality, and are still acting like the world's fights are not their own. If you are a Black or Brown person admitting that "my people are now in danger," first of all, where the fuck have you been the last 400 years of European and American imperialism? Second of all, you do realize that the IDFs methods are used to train the very law enforcement that surveils and kills us regardless of who is in office, right? There's basically a non-zero chance the knee-to-neck maneuver that killed George Floyd that you protested over was introduced into America by Israeli training, and indeed the Cop Cities being erected everywhere are going to facilitate more cooperation between US law enforcement and the IDF. The militarization of our police is not an accident; it's by design.

Gaza is not just some random-ass "conflict" in a faraway place that you can ignore. The IDF is killing you too.

If you are Black/Brown, you do not, and frankly never did, have the luxury of participating in politics in such a isolated and selfish manner because imperialism is not bound by borders. You do not have the luxury to be ignorant. You do not have the luxury of thinking that you can ever fully assimilate. Imperialism is the naked truth of how this world operates and you better believe that the allies and vassal states of the US are directly or indirectly involved in your oppression as well.

You were not let down and made more unsafe by Gaza protestors. You are being let down and made unsafe by the capitalist powers that be who will absolutely resort to naked fascism in order to rescue their wealth from the clutches of social improvement and awakening consciousness in the citizenry.

Gaza is not just some random-ass "conflict" in a faraway place that you can ignore. The IDF is killing you too.

What's interesting to me though is that if you believe this paragraph to be true it refutes itself: if Black and Brown people have been oppressed by 400 (? Seems a few centuries late) years of "imperialism" (nearly all of which predates Israel; also what happened to colonialism?) then why do Americans and Europeans need IDF training to oppress Brown and Black people? Especially if the system is already designed to do that (and nothing else) so has been doing that for 400 years?

Basically all she's saying that is that people around the world share ideas and then painting this obvious concept as a nefarious conspiracy that literally has zero purpose. Even though her point is that you need to be doing politics globally which is the same exact thing. All in defense of mildly protesting a politician shilling a book who currently has no power and may never again have any power versus people saying there are better people to protest. It boils down to arguing that doing literally anything at all is better than using your resources more efficiently.

[HaughtyFrank]

That's just objectively untrue for people being picked up by ICE right now but of course that's not something Nepenthe has to worry about so who cares

So would murdering accusing her of harming her dog. (Except she has no pets, damn, thwarted again!)

Or is a genocide just not that serious?

Honestly, what's Nepenthe's line on this? She thought it was appropriate and ethical to murder Charlie Kirk (PBUH) but surely a person actively involved in genocide (and perpetuating an imperialist system built on Black oppression) is worse than a mere hatemonger who goes around universities demanding people debate him.
