the land does matter a lot obviously but religious connection and a *messianic* claim are not the same as temporal political sovereignty and certainly not the same thing as a right to displace the people currently living there

a lot of people both zionist and antisemite do this slight of hand so that attachment to eretz yisroel means the same thing as political zionism and it just doesnt. like it simply does not mean that

extremely funny that the arbiter is just straightforwardly the protagonist from the middle of halo 2 onwards but you keep playing as a tedious cube of moss for multiple games anyway

Those who have eyes will see what truly matters about Halo (the noble chivalry of Arbiter Thel'vadam, who fights beside the man he once called "demon," and lifts his sword against those who deceived him).

Most people looking at Halo: waow so futuristic

Me looking at Halo: Where the fuck is your tube artillery? What do you mean you don't have mortars? Why do your infantry have no disposable RPGs?

re: the person who said there isnt really an american tradition of mass politics. idk what you would call the civil rights movement then. it definitely seems like mass politics to me
