I bounced hard off battle tech when someone told me a significant part was the honorable military coming back to fix the universe, and then later I heard one of the big authors of the setting turned out to be a fascist.

Unsurprising really. They were always going to use whatever law enforcement arm they could to do fascism. The best we can ever hope for from cops is quitting

Here’s a thing I bet you didn’t know. Nokia has won 3 Emmies since 2016

I think you’ll find that original sin fits perfectly within a Christian framework

Jews brought Jesus to the Romans in the bible. Jewish religious authorities asked the Romans to judge and kill him. The idea is then that for this sin the Jews are forever guilty. Sort of like an extra ethnic original sin. Judas does get roped into some antisemitism stuff, but usually not the biblical stuff since all the disciples were Jews.

In the narrative we get jesus is accused by Jews (The pharisees) and brought to trial to be judged by Pontius Pilate who washes his hand of the affair leaving it to the Jews, they are then offered that either Jesus or someone else (I think Barnabas, but it’s been a while since I cared about biblical stuff) be spared and the Jews pick the other guy. The Romans are therefore seen as a tool by which the Jews kill Jesus by some, or at least partly guilty. I’m not advocating for this view, I’m explaining

It’s actually funny how triggered the walk-away libs get over the kids.

Conservatives who support a welfare state (Paternalistic conservatives/prussian socialism) and reformists (Social democrats)
The tem originates with marx coining of the terms bourgeois socialism and conservative socialism.
In Japan it specifically refers to an old social democratic anti communist party

I mean if I heard there were baby fetuses in my oreos I would probably quit eating them too

Okay first of all the stories about the kids is totally fake, and even if they were real it’s not like what they’re doing to them is that bad. And why do you even care about some random kid? Also you’re lowkey trying to shame Omelas culture RN 😕

Because this is an intervention. You need to take a bath. You’re smelly.

This is at least a couple months old, I remember seeing it on YouTube.

Melina’s posts were funny af

X is dead isn’t a funny joke the 90th time.

My point was that that would be true for all post disney star wars products, surely? I’m not trying to denigrate the solidarity, I approve of course. I just wondered if there was a specific Andor related reason to boycott.

Edit: Actually at this point it could be a self-doxx.

I didn’t know Andor was specifically supposed to be boycott. Google just tells me the usual disney thing (But that would apply to all post takeover star wars, right?). Still, I wasn’t going to watch it anyway

Male and female lavatories: Outdated. Gender essentialist. Ruined by terfs

Shirts and skins: Awful. What kind of monster would have this idea. Could be funny though.

I thought andor was supposed to be good?

All western internet communists are functionally trots. I won’t elaborate, but it’s true.

Do you think they’d let me do a skullet if I said I was nonbinary. Is lying about being nonbinary to circumvent ridiculous gendered rules in the spirit of enbydom or stolen valour.
