Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

This is truly horrifying.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach…with Antifa."

thinking about 2010s gamergate and how supposed "atheists" immediately fell in line with religious conservatives without every seeming to show any cognitive dissonance.
I think the entire online atheist movement was inherently just rotten from the start cause most never did any self-reflection.

if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

This is the question. If you can sacrifice trans people, who else can you give up? If you can excuse genocide, then I think you'd turn on anyone and have no limit to your cowardice.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Charismatic #Zygerrian pirate JAQOTI D’LYE has already earned many colorful sobriquets in her young corsair career. Among them, JAQ THE LASH for her skill with an electro-whip & her penchant for violence, and ROSE FROM THE DEAD RED for her fiery red hair & knack for defying death!

(Art by me)

Artwork by me, @Magna_Tolvan. Depicts a Star Wars OC named Jaqoti D’lye, a wild-eyed, short-haired — and hot — Zygerrian pirate slashing the air between you with an electro-whip. She has two earrings in her right ear, one in her left. Her toned midriff is bare and her right arm is cybernetic. The whip crackles with stylized arcs of electricity, which lights the scene in high-contrast black and white. (The black is actually a very dark purple-brown to convey a sense of old comicbook inks not being fully black on yellowing pages). Her chest wrap is inspired by the one Vi wears in Arcane S2, and the composition overall is specifically an homage to artwork by Cynthia Martin — a classic Marvel Star Wars panel of Lumiya wielding her light-whip, from Star Wars #96 “Duel with a Dark Lady”

Saying leftists can't be racist cause that's "liberal shit."
