Religious people? Those people are idiots.

Okay for what it’s worth as a Muslim I’ve found Lemmings to be a lot more civil about the religion thing than redditors. At least I feel that people here are less likely to think being atheist makes them smart.

Literally yes. This is the perfect counterexample against the childish notion of “violent = bad”.

I was obviously (okay maybe not very obviously) talking within the context of their invasion of Poland. Anyway Nazis didn’t have legitimate grievances with anyone they targeted (because they targeted whole ethnic groups), which is part of why they’re hated so much and what illegitimizes the comparison between them and insert your hated organization of choice here.

Edit: Wait, what just happened? Did you actually say saying you’d be okay with a game glorifying the Nazi invasion to Poland if they “had legitimate grievances against the Polish”? WTF?

I mean depends on those specific grievances by the hypothetical Nazis, yes, because then they wouldn’t be Nazis as we know them.

My premise assumes that every Hamas fighter that crossed into Israel on Oct. 7th is a terrorist.

You’ll need a source for that.

Because the they were a terrorist movement that targeted civilians. Why would you even ask that? Are you seriously okay with glorifying terrorists if you happen to agree with their goals?

Your terrorist is someone else’s freedom fighter. Nelson Mandela was listed as a terrorist in the US until the 2000s. “Terrorist” isn’t a bad word that makes a whole organization irredeemable human scum, and considering the IRA’s contribution to North Irish liberation, I’d say the answer is yes. “Terrorists” are people you can love or hate depending on their specific actions and goals.

Making a game about a specific attack that, at best, was purposefully indiscriminate,

I mean it also targeted the Israeli military so it definitely belongs in a game where you play as a Palestinian resistance fighter. Also the game was made in 2022 and only has a level about October 7.

If the Nazis had legitimate grievances against the Polish? Maybe. Your premise is flawed in that it assumes everything a Palestinian resistance fighter does is terrorism that can’t ve glorified. Let me flip your question around: Woud you object to an Irish-made game that allows you to play as the IRA and car bomb the British?

As someone who doesn’t really watch movies, I didn’t.

A creole between English and… What exactly?

Am I the only one seeing a crab?

I see the next chapter in the FlyingSquid saga has started.

The real trolley problem

I mean okay. That’s kind of not how people work. You can hate it, but it’s just not how people work. I thought y’all had learned that by now.

Setting aside whether she would’ve won had she been a white man, she could’ve made up for that handicap by appealing to the right people if she had actually been trying to win. Pinning it completely on her race and sex simply ignores her absolute failure of a campaign.

Until she woke up one day and thought she was Republican.

Exactly. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but that is exactly what happened.

It’s not just the “I don’t vote for genocide” camp; there’s also the “can’t this fucker at least campaign properly” camp and the “I’m not voting for this right wing nonsense” camp, among others. Harris was just that bad at this.

1-America imports smart people from all over the world.

2-Technical smarts and don’t-vote-for-fascism smarts are different.

There are other wordle sites BTW so it’s not like you have to stop playing the game, just don’t use NYT’s version.

is false.

How so? Hamas attacked a number of Israeli military bases and outposts on October 7th, which was along with taking hostages the goal of the attack. The Israeli narrative conveniently ignores that, painting the whole thing as one big act of barbarism.

still Hamas killing innocent people is not deserving of compassion albeit I understand their reason.

It’s not about compassion. They definitely committed a bunch of atrocities on October 7th, and that very much deserves condemnation, but ignoring the very real military goals behind the attacks helps no one but Israel. Nobody really talks about that anymore, but if you remember before it was overshadowed by the genocide in Gaza things like how much of Israeli accusations against Hamas was true, how many casualties were Israeli friendly fire, what Hamas’s goals behind the attack were, etc etc were still open questions. The world quite reasonably stopped focusing on these things because Israel kept one-upping themselves in genociding Gazans, but that had the side effect of cementing the Israeli narrative on them as reality in the minds of most pro-Palestinian Westerners. What I’m saying is: Condemning terror that happened during the attack and condemning the attack itself are a different things, and one of them invalidates many legitimate acts of resistance.

I mean okay but that’s how it reads like, especially because that myth is still alive and well.
