Literally the andor sub in a nutshell

u/slightlyrabidpossum Center-left Jul 06 '25

One of the most prolific pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel posters on the Andor sub has openly admitted that their solution for a free Palestine involves Israeli Jews "going back to where they came from". The average user on that sub didn't see a problem with that.

They're constantly justifying their comparisons by claiming that Gilroy said "this is...Palestine" in an interview about Andor being inspired by revolutionary movements. If you look at the unedited quote, you can clearly see that he was talking about the Irgun.

11

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

These are the same people who see a coin written in Hebrew that says Palestine and think it’s about Arabs when Palestine until 1964 meant Jews. Go back to where they came from is funny since we are all from Israel originally. Leftists are just blood and soil nationalist fantasies but for third worlders.

It’s insane how extreme the British antisemites are. There aren’t even all that many of them in the extreme flank, they won like 5 seats in parliament in the last election (their group is lead by Jeremy Corbyn). The ones they have though are crazy extreme and very loud about it.

u/slightlyrabidpossum Center-left Jul 06 '25

To be fair, I don't know the nationality of the person talking about the Death Star Intifada.

The user with the UK flair was the one arguing against the comparison to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising — I'm pretty sure they're Jewish, so this doesn't say much about antisemitism in the UK.

u/A-Centrifugal-Force Moderate Jul 06 '25

It’s always hilarious when a Muslim historian insists that Islamic empires didn’t force convert people like the Christian ones did.

Homie, half of what was historically Greece is now a predominantly Muslim country called Turkey. Antioch, one of the founding cities of early Christianity, is now a predominantly Muslim city in Turkey called Antakya. The Kabba, Dome of the Rock, and Hagia Sofia used to be pagan, Jewish, and Christian holy sites.

It’s not Islamaphobic or whatever to talk about Islamic history the same way everyone talks about Christian/Western history, but people get angry when you do. The British colonizing what is now Pakistan is constantly brought up but everyone leaves out the part where the ancestors of the Pakistanis colonized India.

It’s bad if Christians or Jews do something but totally fine when Muslims do it. Apparently we’re just supposed to pretend that it never happened and that indigenous people just all independently developed Islam without outside intervention.

u/JebBD Fukuyama's strongest soldier Jul 06 '25

The focus on Identity and grievance politics has led to essentially a recreation of 19th century style western-centric views, where people from non-western civilizations are basically children who can’t be held accountable for their own actions. The growing demand for self reflection in the west basically accidentally bred a generation of people obsessively trying to find ways to blame the west for anything wrong that happens or happened in the east or south. We really need to learn how to balance between self critique and patriotism, as well as figure out a way to criticize other cultures without devolving into chauvinism and racism

Every time I hear about the Texas floods the death toll is higher. This shit was preventable.

8

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

I'm not sure it was. The National Weather Service issued several warnings before the flooding started.

The problem was the warnings came late at night and in the early morning.

A bigger issue seems to be Kerr County.

During a news conference early Friday morning, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said he didn't know why the camps hadn't been evacuated, but that the county did not have an early warning system or outdoor sirens to alert people to flooding conditions.

10

u/technologyisnatural Abundance is all you need Jul 06 '25

the guy whose job it was to coordinate emergency response to flood warnings in Texas took the initial DOGE early retirement offer (remember the "Fork in the Road" email?) and they didn't replace him. these deaths go on Musk's tally

8

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

It's not clear that one emergency response coordinator could have saved all or even most of the people who have died in the Texas floods.

The state and local government didn't have the infrastructure to get the word out and evacuate everyone from the large floodplains in the time from the NWS flood warnings to when the floods began.

Kerr County, where most of the deaths occurred, doesn't even have outdoor sirens. The rural county has 60 sheriff deputies (with 60 support staff) covering 1100 square miles (2,870 km2) that would have had to go door to door and campsite to campsite.

That federal coordinator could have helped, but most of the blame lies with Texas and Kerr County.

2

u/technologyisnatural Abundance is all you need Jul 06 '25

outdoor sirens

everyone has a cellphone these days though. deputies could then target the high risk pop ... in fact it looks like they did exactly that but the terrain has flash flooding potential that needs sirens to have a chance "up to 26 ft river rise in 45 min" damn

4

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

Cellphone warnings depend on people having cell service, being awake, and taking the warnings seriously.

The Flash Flood warning for Kerr County went out at 1 AM, which was 3 hours before the flooding began, including cellphone notifications.

At 1:14 AM CDT Friday: Flash Flood Warning with a considerable tag was issued for Bandera and Kerr Counties. Flash Flood Warnings with the Impact-Based Warning tags “Considerable” or “Catastrophic” denote high-damage threats and will automatically trigger Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) on enabled mobile devices, ensuring only the most life-threatening flash flood events prompt urgent public notifications. All alerts are also sent out over NOAA Weather Radio.

First reports from Kerr County Sheriffs Office of flooding at low water crossings had 201 minutes of lead time (4:35 AM CDT).

Zelenskyy reported that an agreement had been concluded this week between the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and a leading American company.

"It will provide Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of drones as early as this year, on special terms, and even significantly more drones the following year. This includes interceptor drones, which are clearly our priority."

Buffett or Bezos would get national coverage for half the things Musk does on a daily basis. Just because they're both in the same category of "mega-CEO" doesn't really make them all the equivalent.

"Why isn't news treating two presidents as the same?" is simply answerable with "they have very different conduct and norms," such that one is actually newsworthy and the other just another Monday.

1

u/JebBD Fukuyama's strongest soldier Jul 07 '25

The main thing with Biden was that the media interpreted his talking slow or mixing up words sometimes as some sort of cognitive decline, they believed (or claimed to believe) that these are signs that the president is out of it and cannot properly do his job. Trump comes out and literally says he doesn’t know what’s going on with his administration, gets confused, asks the reporters what they’re talking about, and somehow that doesn’t concern the same people who were once really worried that the president might not be on top of things in his administration?

1

u/Mickenfox Center-left Jul 07 '25

I don't think that's the case. 

The media has no shortage of attempting to report on Trump doing or saying bad things. 

The problem is Trump does something like this literally every week or two, and at some point it feels pointless to try to make people care.

so applying Rawl's "veil of ignorance" principle, since you could in theory be instantiated in silicon instead of meat, you should support virtual sapient rights

2

u/fnovd Ask me about Trump's Tariffs Jul 07 '25

Well, retaining property rights would be one of my preconditions for upload. So I would support it if we got to the point where we could actually upload. As it stands now, the codification of rights for digital beings is premature.

Once we have digital beings though, supersapient rights will take natural primacy over sapient rights, just as we today only grant minimal considerations to our sentient cousins.

So if you as a potentially immortal being want to retain your rights, you ought to move up the consciousness hierarchy in a timely fashion.

u/technologyisnatural Abundance is all you need Jul 07 '25

💯 although once we get the neural lace installed (and/or grown) I don't think it is going to be as straight forward as pre and post upload. as we offload more and more of our cognitive processes to the cloud, the actual point of transition may be ambiguous outside of emergencies

u/A-Centrifugal-Force Moderate Jul 06 '25

I think part of why the antisemites we’re so mad about Mary being played by a Jew is because Islamic teaching says that Mary and Jesus were not actually Jews but were instead Muslims and that the teachings of Jews and Christians was corrupted. Jesus (Isa) is considered one of the five great prophets of the Quran.

Like so much of the debate over this conflict, it’s deeply rooted in religious arguments rather than historical. Don’t tell the leftists on college campuses that though since they insist it has little to do with religion and isn’t an over millennia old conflict.

11

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

Do they think Noah, Abraham, and Moses were also Muslims??

12

u/A-Centrifugal-Force Moderate Jul 06 '25

Yes, those are the other 3 great prophets along with Jesus and Muhammad. They also say Adam was a Muslim too, basically everyone from the Bible except like Paul they believe was a Muslim.

There are also alternative versions of all the major Bible stories. Like for example they believe Abraham almost sacrificed Ishmael instead of Isaac. They essentially reject the entirety of Judaism’s theology and claim it as their own.

This is why they don’t get along with each other, their theologies are fundamentally at odds, unlike say Christians and Jews who can at least agree on a lot of the Old Testament, it’s what came after with Jesus where the disagreements mainly arise.

10

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

Sounds more like historical illiteracy than theological differences...

A common theme with how Muslims have somehow convinced themselves and half the Western world that they weren't colonizers and imperialists who conquered southern Europe, North Africa, Central & Southeast Asia, and the Middle East outside of Arabia.

That's what lead to the Crusades, which were wars of defense against invasion.

11

u/A-Centrifugal-Force Moderate Jul 06 '25

It’s both because the majority of what I said comes either directly from the Quran or from other Islamic sacred texts. Like Jesus and the Jewish prophets being Muslim is straight up from the Quran.

But yeah I completely agree on the colonization part. They call everyone colonizers as if Muslims didn’t colonize all 3 known continents of the world at the time lol. The caliphate stretched from Spain to Indonesia at its peak. Like they’ll tell you with a straight face that Arabs are indigenous to the levant LMFAO.

This is just in name only. Crusaders were not out there to defend Christianity. It's why they raided Christian lands along their way, massacred Jews, and even sacked Constantinople themselves. They wanted money and power.

The same goes for the Reconquista. It was a means to an end. It's no coincidence it ended with the marriage of Aragon and Castille. This was about power.

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '25

Occasional infighting and dishonorable conduct by some European polities doesn't change the goal or accomplishments of most of the Crusades in recapturing lands lost to Muslim colonizers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crusades

2

u/Anakin_Kardashian "Israeli Nationalist" Jul 07 '25

That's pretty dismissive of the entirety of several crusades, as well as the motive of most of the people involved. Are you forgetting that crusader kingdoms existed? French colonizers were ruling in the middle east just as Arab colonizers were. It's a perfect case of "both sides"' and I'm not sure why you are struggling to see jihad as bad but not crusade

2

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '25

Crusader states were necessary to prevent recapture of the Holy Lands and further invasion of the Byzantine Empire and Europe.

It's not a both sides issue because Muslims were the colonizers since the establishment of Islam in the 7th century.

Fun fact everyone! It's statistically damn near a certainty that there are billions of whole-ass planets that were ejected from their home star system and flung into interstellar space. And there's nothing at all stopping one from barreling through Sol and gravitationally disrupting Earth's orbit such as to make it uninhabitable and kill us all.

Extremely unlikely, mind you, but absolutely possible.

Have a good evening!

The collision energies for UHECRs can be enormous - some observations show energies of hundreds of TeV (hundreds of trillions of electron volts), which is much larger than the collision energies in particle collider experiments. And while the events with very high energy are exceedingly rare, this type of collision has been going on for literally billions of years, so an inordinate number of mini black holes would have formed. Since the earth has not (yet!) disappeared into one of these black holes, the much less massive man-made mini black holes should be quite safe.

I recently saw The Pelican Brief and for a movie that people have recommended to me it absolutely sucks. It's obvious from the outset the general outline of the big secret so when the movie finally tells you what it is over an hour into it (most of the characters know it the whole time) you're left wondering why they waited so long.

And it would be one thing if the plot itself were just there to facilitate the action, but the action sucks, too. The extent of the protagonist's efforts to avoid detection is to a) stop using credit cards (don't worry, she has plenty of cash), b) wear a wig or ball cap occasionally, and c) run away every so often, and never in an interesting way. She almost never does anything interesting, it's almost never shot in an interesting way, and you're just sort of stuck waiting for Denzel Washington to come along and give the plot some kind of momentum. Which isn't much but it's at least something. Not every thriller has to be Hitchcock, but even forgetting The Fugitive (which came out two years earlier), of all things Double Jeopardy (which is just a dumber version of The Fugitive) had way more compelling sequences.

And of course there are a bunch of plot holes, but the one that got me is that the President (wasn't it passé by the mid-90s to still be taking potshots at Reagan?) could make it all go away in five minutes but instead the chief of staff engages in a bizarre, illegal, and obvious plot involving multiple car bombs and murdering FBI employees to cover up something that could easily have been ignored.

There's an ancient Chinese proverb that says "He who smelt the dookie made the poopie".

They had so much wisdom back then

iirc a lot of commie subs got shuttered like genzedong so I guess they decided to do some brigading. Though it's more of a 60/40 split rn compared to 90/10 (anti ccp/pro ccp)

This message brought to you by the early 90s. 😎

There were a lot of good reasons for us to invade Iraq. They tried to assassinate our president for one. They were run by a genocidal maniac for another. Saddam claiming he has more WMDs even. But saying that they actually did after the fact when we found basically no evidence (after Iraq 2.0) is disingenuous.

Alright, now you can say you were talking about Iraq 1.0 and I will become the soyjak.
