Julian Casablancas expanded on his recent Zionism comments in a speech at the Oxford Union.
When the Strokes frontman appeared on SubwayTakes a few months ago, he said “American Zionists get the benefits of white privileged people but talk like they are Black people during slavery.” He continued, “Just for the people that are going to be like, ‘Hamas, October 7th.’ Yes, bad. But Native American rebellions didn’t mean it was okay to do what we did. Slave rebellions that were violent didn’t mean that slavery is not bad.”
In late May, Casablancas appeared at the Oxford Union (the debating society where he previously spoke in 2021) and expanded on those remarks.
His speech began with an argument about the power of words and the need for more precise political language. He said capitalism, communism, socialism, and libertarianism have been bent and stretched to the point of losing their meaning. Then he brought up Zionism and argued that the word has become too broad to be useful, proposing more specific categories “to help avoid future discord.”
Casablancas said Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians but identified himself as a “green liner,” someone who accepts the 1967 Green Line borders. He contrasted that position with “expansionists” — “the good old settler types just shooting at Palestinians and taking homes daily.”
@CoreyAtad I got this tidbit, which could be wrong, from a demo of the Genesis film emulation plug-in for Resolve, that the teal and orange in film also comes from skipping certain parts of the development process that's supposed to neutralise the colour cast?
Image-searched Gabe Newell many years ago, set the size filter (when you could semi-specify resolutions) to max and found this insanely high resolution portrait of him.
The crop is 1:1 of the original image.
@MattiaMerenda2 It hits the very thread/core - at least on my system - that's being used for UI in most of my software, so everything is sluggish whenever I'm editing videos.
Also, try to just grab and shake the Discord window around, and see how insane the CPU spikes are...
Fant nylig ut at det originale goatse-bildet er en del av en større bildeserie.
Denne uka har vært en lang og krevende påkjenning på sjelen, kjenner jeg.
@klamkampkamel Jeg kjenner flere som har drevet konsulentarbeid på detta prosjektet det siste året, og de er glade for å endelig ha gjort ferdig kontrakten sin og ikke ha noe med Helseplattformen å gjøre igjen.
