  • Please don’t take this the wrong way, but speaking as a Jew, what?

    Now that was unnecessarily rude. It amazes me how much you lovers of God hate truth which is God.

    I know this about you people. Not just you but all of you. You don’t listen to reason. You don’t listen to logic. You’re blind to the truth. God has to pull a bunny out of his hat to get you to acknowledge the truth. And it’s so insulting. Because you have minds capable of rationalizing. But you don’t rationalize. You’re attached to your ways and your lies.

    Yeah no one’s ever liked what prophets have to say about their own people. But truth is truth.

    Do you see what I see?







  • A third party called the TPP has recently become electorally viable with elected officials. The TPP doesn’t fall into old Taiwanese electoral paradigms (waishengren vs benshengren, status quo vs separatism) and is a vaguely progressive party. But the key point about the party is that it attracts young people, including people who are too young to vote but who will eventually age up towards voting age. The DPP, the comprador separatist party that has roots with Japanese collaborators during WWII, doesn’t like this because the DPP was supposed to be the new hip party compared with the KMT that only boomers like.

    Here are the results of the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election.. One additional thing to note is that the KMT and TPP almost ran a joint ticket (with Hou Yu-ih as President and Ko Wen-je as Vice President I believe) before the blue-white coalition fell through, meaning the DPP only won because votes were split between the KMT and TPP. Still, the DPP ate shit in the 2024 legislative elections. The KMT has one more seat than the DPP, but it doesn’t have a majority. The TPP is essentially the tie-breaker, and they’re siding with the KMT.

    There’s the wide perception that the TPP is completely carried by Ko Wen-je (opponents call the TPP a cult of personality surrounding Ko), which is why the DPP is trying to bust him on corruption charges. This is the context of this protest and previous protests (there was another one earlier that had at least 150000 people but you didn’t hear a word of this from Western MSM because they’re running defense for the DPP). The DPP is waging lawfare against their political opponents the TPP and the KMT. That previous protest was over the DPP trying to jail Ko in their attempts to sink the TPP while this protest is over the DPP trying to impeach various KMT politicians.





  • Honestly, his post isn’t that far off from various Palestinians I’ve seen online. Their main thing is that anti-Zionist Jews can’t simultaneously complain about people conflating Judaism with Zionism while at the same time not taken up arms for the sake of saving Judaism from Zionism. If the IOF is Jewish ISIS, then where is Jewish Hezbollah or Jewish Ansarallah to send Jewish ISIS to hell and punish the Zionists for their shameless desecration of Judaism?

    But I also haven’t paid attention to the history of the poster. There’s also a difference between a Palestinian whose grandparents were expelled from Palestine during the Nakba saying this and some presumably white non-Jewish dude saying this. And I don’t agree with his assessment that Jewish people have been completely subsumed into whiteness. As a whole, Jewish people are white*. You have white people of Jewish ancestry who are otherwise completely indistinguishable from your average WASP at one end and you have Hasidic Jews at the other end.

    Edit: It turns out the dude is Estonian. That’s, uh, not in his favor lmao.



  • Don’t sweat it. The entire genre is complete trash from a spectating perspective. You pretty much have to play the game in order to understand what’s going on. And even then, it’s still pretty boring compared to something like fighting games. Too much downtime combined with point-of-no-returns. A classic example is one team with a team composition that is good early game vs another team with a team comp that is good late game. The entire match is basically over 15 minutes depending on whether the early team comp can capitalize during that time, but the actual match ends in like 40 minutes, so it’s 25 minutes of pointless spectacle. The RTS equivalent is someone trying to cheese/rush, but those usually fail 5 minutes in and the player who failed to pull off the cheese/rush usually just surrenders instead of dragging out the match.
