It just feels so insane to be in year three of a live streamed genocide and to have the overwhelming focus of our society being on whether people get their feelings hurt by opposing it.
King Leopold II is not demonized like Hitler because his victims were Black Africans — and Black lives have never mattered to the people who built their wealth on our suffering.
He killed over 20 million innocent Congolese, and oversaw a regime that amputated the hands of countless Africans.
Leopold was even buried in a Catholic church.
Even worse, Europe still honors this colonial monster with monuments, while his African victims are forgotten.
Imagine an African leader doing this to 20 million Europeans.
Would the world ever let them forget ?
Western hypocrisy is absolutely disgusting.
“Boys will be boys” is something mothers say about their sons when they're getting muddy in the back yard, but for some reason feminists have co-opted the phrase and applied it to r*pe or something
@NamedLuigi2@ReReReDive There's a discord that has cute and funny ZZZ mods. Though it's first version got deleted, so the mods are more stringent about allowing anyone in this time. The fact I can find the discord is a miracle. I'll try to DM you the link if I could find it
@WandererFN If she hadn't decided to generalize men with a slur, this wouldn't have blown up. Imagine if the genders are flipped. Social media would be a maelstorm, and the Vrubel would be doxxed and harassed to no end
Amazing what Israelis get away with. Their soldiers post videos of themselves laughing while rigging up people’s houses to be blown up, not a military target in sight, and you’ll get thousands of people defending this or saying its actually self defense.
Since 1952 the German Government has paid over $90 billion in reparations and compensation related to Nazi persecution of Jews and the Holocaust
Total compensation paid to all other victims for all acts of genocide for all of history is about $5 billion
9 million students in the UK
50k are Jewish
37k go to Jewish only schools
We are all being fucked over to avoid the delicate sensitivities of a few thousand people because ISRAEL IS COMMITTING GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.
What the hell is happening here?
Zenless Zone Zero discourse.
- New , sometimes slightly unfinished character models appear online
- People who hate fanservice make thread crying about designs (bonus points if they talk about how 1.0 and TV mode was great and say things like “Jane Doe isnt sexualised”, Extra bonus if they say more gay men or women need to work on ZZZ.)
- “These are unrealistic body proportions on this character thats split her body into three versions of herself / is an Angel / is part animal”
- Said people make hideous edits to characters to make them uglier
-Said people get dog piled for being idiots and lock/hide replies and or go private
- Character releases anyway and the game keeps going , makes good money and crazy money if it’s a VH patch.
- Repeat exactly the same forty days later.
it's funny how boy scouts got changed to "scouting america" welcoming both girls and boys, then they wanted to merge with girl scouts and girl scouts said no we want girls only
this pattern of erasing male-only spaces while keeping female spaces is everywhere
If it keeps going at this rate, we might, for (I think) the first time in history, be about to witness the first continent-wide youth revolt in Europe - a "European spring" of sorts.
The sheer number of countries where it's **already** happening is pretty overwhelming. I count 8, including 4 with violent clashes:
- France, famously
- Albania (see below) with daily clashes in Tirana and a government building set alight
- Belgium: the French movement spilled over, including riots in Liège
- Italy: "No Meloni Day" student protests since 16 October, turning into riots in Milan, Turin and Bologna
- Greece: students camping in Athens' Syntagma Square over housing and education costs, explicitly inspired by France
- Germany: pupils blockading schools in Berlin and Hamburg in solidarity with France
- Spain: an indefinite education strike in Madrid, with students marching alongside teachers and families
- Serbia: the student movement born from the 2024 Novi Sad station collapse is now running its own list in the 25 October election
And, by the way, the fact it's also happening in countries with close to no immigration - like Albania - goes to show how reductive it is to label these movements, like JD Vance and Trump did with France, as the fruit of "the migrants hav[ing] taken over."
As is often the case, it's much more a story of "it's the economy, stupid." As such, Trump with his war on Iran, has ironically done much more to fuel this (pun intended) than any migrant.
There's a reason I find it hard to trust ANY localizers, even when they claim to be one of the "good ones".
Had a moot a while ago who would agree with me and others that localization was dogshit and that he was trying to do it "right"
Eventually I saw him attempt an "improved"
