I’m not saying “but both sides”, I’m saying that this image frames Russia as the bad guy (rightly so) because it invaded Ukraine, but it doesn’t hold the same view for Israel despite it invading Palestine. Double standards.

Should Ukraine be freed from its armed forces, and Russia only have its leader removed? Do you think that is what would solve the conflict? Because if not, then why do you think it would go any different than between Israel and Palestine?

That is a very disingenuous image. Why should Palestine need to be freed from Hamas, the only group that is actively fighting for them? Why is Israel’s carnage focused solely on Netanyahu here, when it has been going for decades longer?

Image knows that Russia is responsible for war in Ukraine.

Dems will lose if Newsom is the nominee. Guy is pretty anti-trans and anti-homeless, which isn’t good if he’s in the party that at least pretends to care about minorities.

You would absolutely love the newest Indiana Jones game. Whole bunch of Nazis to fight, and the game goes somewhat deep into showing why the Nazis are bad, rather than having the player simply think “Nazi = bad”.

Helldivers can’t read, we all know that.

Ask yourself how much better those places would have been if the Democrats actually listened to their base for once and stopped actively funding a genocide.

Military troops patrolling the streets in the intro propaganda trailer, supposedly to protect civilians. But when that Termanid kills the announcer’s family moments later, there are no troops in sight. Almost as if protecting isn’t what they’re meant to do.

People like Dort unironically think that Super Earth from Helldivers is the ideal system to live under.

In the game’s intro propaganda trailer, you see the announcer wave hi to two SEAF soldiers, but a few moments later, a Termanid shows up and kills his family, with no SEAF in sight.

What’s wrong with the Chiefs? I’m not exactly a football fan, but my family is made up of die-hard Chiefs fans. Almost as much as hey are Royals fans.

A heck of a lot fewer people die with proper healthcare than those who do/did die without it.

The Mistborn series—well, first book, I haven’t gotten to the second one yet—is probably the worst example of this that I’ve seen. Meaning, it’s fantastic at analyzing the systems that create and maintain corruption. Most of the book involves dividing the noble factions against each other.

A whole lot of them didn’t.
