Two-Face with Sephiroth Hair?

[danielkanhai]

it would suck being a new immortal. like it’d be 2109 and people would go, “what was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?” and i’d just be like, “no…no i was born in 1991. so like, wow i’m gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean i’m not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. don’t think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.”

[ayellowbirds]

even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff. “What was it like seeing the pyramids being built?” “Fuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.” “Oh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?” “I fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.”

[erkhyan]

And now, a lesson in biases:

We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We don’t even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.

Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a “precursor” ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascar’s current population.

The point is, we do not know.

So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascar’s human history?

Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone else’s pet Major Event.

i'm like 90 percent confident tawhidi is the equivalent of jvp. not muslim disclaimer but to quote past me:

TL;DR:

He is not recognized as an imam or sheikh, he is not affiliated with any mosque

His claims should be put in the context of the fact that he is fervently anti-Sunni. Most Muslims are Sunni, so this leads to what (IN MY NON-EXPERT NON-MUSLIM OPINION) are Islamophobic claims. He conflates Sunni Islam with terrorism.

He’s affiliated with and has cheerfully approved of a…I’m not going to say it’s a cult but uhh

He has lied about his credentials

He is affiliated with hard-Islamist Ayatollah Shirazi, who holds, among other things, it’s okay if a girl marries at all of nine.

Even other Muslim reformers are skeptical of him

[kuudere-hime]

Maybe he's a POS in his own way, but what he said here about the Land of Israel int he Quran is factually true.

[soloorganaas]

we’re banning use of the phrase judeo-christian. there truly is no such thing. what people mean is christian interpretation of the old testament and all the ideas and ‘values’ they pushed onto the world for 2 millennia and they’re too lazy to distinguish that from the fundamentally different ethno-religious group christians took the book from in the first place

[pempelune]

It's such a ridiculous phrase. The idea was only invented after the Holocaust, no Christian would have ever accepted it before that. It was made up to launder the long history of antisemitism in the West, and to appropriate Jewish culture and achievements for Western civilization.

[zaprowsdower27]

Also to very specifically exclude Islam, since there is literally nothing shared by Judaism and Christianity not also shared by Islam

Can't forget the Islamophobia inherent to the phrase

[kuudere-hime]

I only use the term in contexts that apply to Judaism and Christianity but not Islam, plenty such cases exist.

Islam is an Abrahamic Religion, but is so of the Ishmael branch, while we are of Isaac.

The core theological common ground between Judaism and Christianity rejected by Islam is viewing God as a Father Figure.

But in my personal case, even a lot of things I disagree with the Majority of Christians on are things I also have in common with Judaism over Islam, like my rejection of Divine Immutability and Divine Impassability.

Islam is a very Platonist religion, that's core to what I say Judeo-Christian in opposition to.

hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed 

[clayboy2000-deactivated20210427]

To be perfectly fair, bugs bunny would also love taking money for starring in anti-weed propaganda and then using said money to buy weed

male entitlement in academic spaces is so boring. can’t tell you how many times i’ve been in a class and a girl gives a short, insightful analysis, and then a dude raises his hand and says “jumping off of that…” then says literally the same thing she said but longer and worse.

[zurizaldun-deactivated20241104]

I hate to be that guy, but it doesn’t just happen to women. The assholes who do that will do that to anyone who’s analysis isn’t sufficiently complex and long winded for them. 

Been done to me by people of both genders. 

Also I have been guilty of doing this, so I apologize. Because I was overly excited and just couldn’t wait to talk…. yeah.

its more like if you walked into a chess club with a big sign that said “CHESS BUT WE HIT EACH OTHER WITH FISH” and there was a long standing tradition of hitting each other with fish at this particular chess club and the locals all know this and talk about it but you still walked in and got upset when there were fish. no one is forcing you to play the fish hitting game though. you absolutely can find people to play real chess with without telling the fish hitters that they’re version of the game sucks and they have to stop. one of the most important internet skills in general is to be able to watch people be wrong, block them, and carry on your merry way

The biggest mistake Zionists are making right now

Is all this emphasis on alleging the “Soviet origins of Modern Antizionism”.

First of all it’s false, Modern Antizionism’s origins are in Nazi Germany, it was adopted by the Soviets during the 50s via the influence of the Pro-Soviet Nazis like Francis Parker Yockey and Johann von Leers and Francois Genoud and the Socialist Reich Party and the National Renaissance Party and their friends in the Arab World.

But more importantly the people I feel we most need to convince and who potentially can be convinced are the same people who’ve spent the last 25 years becoming a lot less afraid of Communism. Even people who are by means Tankies (like me who’s not even a Leninist) have long abandoned any notion that the Soviet Union is some equal opposite ot Nazi Germany, equally as completely irredeemable. And if anything consider McCarthyist tactics a major turn off.

Meanwhile most people want to avoid association with Nazism by any means, including people who are right of center. 

The people who’ve become fully okay with being aligned with Hitler are the people who are least likely to ever have their minds changed regarding Israel. Such people are Antisemites at their Core and would sooner become a perceived Leftist on everything else before they would become a Zionist.

From July 1941 till 1949 the Soviet Union was Zionist, that’s something I like to point out to Tankies, to me Staling was at his best during this timeframe. And it wasn’t even till post Stalin they went all in on supporting the Arab World. 

Pre 1941 Bolshevik Antizionism was NOT driven by the Pseudo Anticolonial narrative of modern Antizionism, it was the same as Menshevik and Bundhist Antizionism, it was mainly about wanting Socialist Jews to stay in Russia and Eastern Europe to be part of a Proletarian Revolution there.  But regardless during this period Communists of all types also supported full unrestricted Jewish immigration to Palestine. 

Meanwhile there were always Communists who supported Israel.  From the majority of Zionists being Labor Zionists to Gentiles supporters like James Conolloy and Jean Longuet. And also some Trotskyists become Pro-Israel by 1948.

[rotzaprachim]

“hallelujah” by leonard cohen being played as an easter and christmas song, “zombie” by the cranberries” being played as a halloween song, and “born in the U.S.A.” by bruce springsteen being played as a Fourth of July/generic us patriotism song have got to be a special trifecta of the most no-listening-comprehension musical moments that happen on seasonal playlists every single year 

[fatmaninalittlesuit]

And then….. there is the curse!!!

[trashboi413]

Does using “fortunate son” as a Vietnam war song count as something similar?

[kuudere-hime]

Thing about Fortunate Son is it's often used in movies when in isolation that scenes like it doesn't get this is an anti War song, but the movie is an Anti-War film, it was being used with intention.

Kong Skull Island comes to mind.

[rosesandthorns44]

When “Take Me to Church” by Hozier first came out, my older sister didn’t understand why I liked it because she thought it was ACTUALLY about church. We’re not religious, and I’m queer, so she was quite puzzled.

[kuudere-hime]

When it comes to both Hallelujah and Take Me To Church a lot of people need to realize that to many Christians attacking Organized Religion is the most Christian thing you can do.

[rotzaprachim]

[kuudere-hime]

I think it takes a deep misunderstanding of Christianity to think Hallelujah is a song a Christian can't unironically like.

"Born in the USA" is an Anti-Vietnam War Song in the same way Rambo is an Anti Vietnam War movie. They are ultimately only about how the US Veterans fighting were wronged, they're the American Stab in the Back Myth.

[cecilyshaunts]

So this might just be the most bizarre thing I’ve read from Pro-Palestine accounts. Not only is it antisemitic (which is to be expected), it’s also WILDLY biphobic.

#you remember that trend where white men would talk shit about white women to cloak their misogyny in criticism of white culture?#antizionism is the cloak that hides a thousand daggers @softmatzohtruther

[padmestrilogy]

Padmé’s death is the most clear cut suicide in the franchise. She has no indication that her death will benefit anyone, nor has she been told by anyone that death is on the horizon; and yet, she wants to. The love of her life has become master of Hell, the father of her children has set the galaxy aflame, and the ruling body she gave her life to has gone obsolete—indeed, always was. How could we talk Padmé off the ledge at this moment? How could anyone? Ultimately, the film doesn’t ask us to. This is a tragedy. The point is not to berate our protagonists into healthier living choices, but to watch them fall into the abyss. At the end of every good tragedy, there’s nothing else left.

So Padmé falls neatly into the canon of self-annihilating tragic heroines. Her death is not inspiring, or productive, or well-adjusted, but it is her death. The means, the reasons, the aftermath, all belong to her. Padmé, the victim of multiple assassination attempts from the ages of fourteen to twenty-four, warrior on the frontlines of the battles of Naboo and Geonosis, survivor of Nexu claws, force choking, and a difficult trauma-informed birth, dies firmly and exclusively because she wanted to. If she wanted to live, she would’ve lived. This is not a weakening death, especially when compared to oft-cited “strong” deaths like having Anakin kill her. One wonders: how is Padmé choosing to die less empowering than having that choice taken from her?

revenge of the sith rerelease means people are talking about padme’s death again so i’m promoting my essay

[hero-israel]

Who'd you think will be better for Israel - Trump and his old-fashioned and harmless antisemites, or Clinton and her new and hungry and militant SJWs antisemites?

Forget the followers and look at the actual candidates. CLINTON will be a maintainance of bipartisan U.S. norms towards Israel (for better and for worse) by someone who actually understands the key players in the region and who knows how to do the homework. She’d probably be less antagonistic towards the Israeli govt than Obama has been (which I chalk up to Obama and Netanyahu personally disliking each other and Obama being too proud to delegate the relationship to underlings, as was done to save the U.S. / France relationship from similar personal snarling between Bush and Chirac). The worst thing we can expect from Clinton is more exposure on the DC cocktail party circuit for Max Blumenthal. Unless she starts a nuclear war over a no-fly-zone in Syria. TRUMP represents radical, destabilizing change, by someone who doesn’t really get the issues or the major players and has never shown much skill at learning stuff. On the one hand, he very well might tell the Palestinians to fuck off until they rise up and overthrow Hamas, and he very well might actually move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. He also very well might be so easily baited and taunted by a hundred other crises that he misses something vital to Israel. He also very well might decide one random Tuesday that he hates the Jews now because why not? If Jared Kushner divorces Ivanka, maybe her daddy would take it out on the rest of us. He also definitely would be an international humiliation to Israel. I don’t WANT us to get support from a guy who forcibly gropes women and mocks the disabled. If there are any Jews out there who think they can support a conspiracy-minded hyper aggressive racist because he’ll only be mean to other people and will leave us alone…. well, as Chris Rock noted, “that train is never late.” This is an election between Order and Chaos. Virtue didn’t make it to the finals.

[hero-israel]

I REPEAT: TRUMP WILL BE AT BEST A HUMILIATION AND AT WORST A PERMANENT DESTABILIZER FOR ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH COMMUNITY.

[hero-israel]

repeating it for those in the back

[hero-israel]

so I was right about this and also how Bibi would turn out to be just trolling the world with fake annexation plans, where’s my thinktank gig already dammit

[hero-israel]

Since I was right in all of those predictions, here is what I am anticipating now:

Biden and the U.N. symbolically establishing some punishment or limitation for Israel before Trump’s inauguration, just like Obama and John Kerry did at the U.N. last time. Perhaps a call for establishing a Palestinian state by a date certain, or even recognizing one in advance.

Trump reversing this.

Trump’s close embrace of Israel / Netanyahu continuing to be used to shoehorn American Jews out of their natural home in Democratic / progressive coalitions, and justifying hatred, exclusion, and violence against us. Perhaps a mass casualty attack.

A much more aggressive stance against Iran, perhaps reaching the level of striking their nuclear sites.

The more aggressive stance against Iran not being worth the overall weakening of all worthwhile American institutions, moral credibility, expertise, continued leftwashing of antisemitism, and making Israel even more of a lopsided partisan issue.

[snommelp]

So, I’ve been pulled over a few times in my life. Not many, but a few. And I’ve also been in a couple of cars that got pulled over. And let me tell you, if you were actually doing something wrong, the officer doesn’t make any small talk, just straight into “I clocked you doing 70 in a 55.” The only time I’ve ever gotten the “do you know why I pulled you over?” was the time when I wasn’t doing anything wrong, and I got let go even though he insisted to the end that I was doing 87 in a 70 (white privilege at work).

“Do you know why I pulled you over?” is a trap. It means there’s a good chance the officer doesn’t actually have a good reason to ticket you, and is trying to get you to waive your 5th Amendment rights and incriminate yourself. If you make a guess, that’s a confession of guilt.

But there’s another trap, that I’ve heard of but haven’t yet experienced. It’s “do you know how fast you were going?” With that one, they’re hoping you’ll say no, because then they can name whatever speed they want – you just said you didn’t know how fast you were going, if you deny the speed they name then you’re lying to them.

[themightytej]

Oh, I’ve had that one. Go with “yes.” Don’t give them a number, just say “Yes.” Then they still have to offer a number and you can deny it without contradicting yourself. They could just ask you, at that point, but that’s suspiciously similar to saying they don’t know, and they tend to avoid doing that.
