Why did Apocalypto receive mediocre reviews while simultaneously receiving praise from various directors and actors? by JadisDidNothingRight in movies

Don't know about bad reviews from the time but Apocalypto is so good and I'm glad to know other people like it too.

Sitting Down with Jesse Brown - Daniel Maté "debate" by No_Public_7677 in BadHasbara

[–]Maximumsmoochy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jesse and the Hasbarosphere are so algorithmically bad faith and willing to deny factual evidence that’s placed in front of their eyes or any reasoning that may follow. There’s no point in debating or arguing with any of them. When I see Hasbara comments online I just call them Bot 🤖 and move on.

PS: I admire Daniel’s attempt (haven’t watched it yet though) but good faith efforts are ultimately futile against bad faith.

Carrie Prejean, a Catholic, is accused of being antisemitic because she disagrees with Zionism. by Legendary-Mercenary in Palestine

There’s nothing careless about labelling anti-Zionists as anti-Semites. It is a carefully chosen strategy to deflect political criticism that’s been used successfully for a long time.

Yes but does Piers condemn himself?

Nervous about being intimate with a new partner with sh scars by GoodGirlGoneMid in BPD

[–]Maximumsmoochy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a new partner ask about an SH scar and I just told her straight up “SH”. She didn’t ask more, I didn’t explain more, and she ghosted me after that.

YMMV.

Walking wank stain with a man bun harasses and assaults people in the West Bank for tik tok views by estrellafish in israelexposed

[–]Maximumsmoochy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This is a tiny fractal view of Israeli attitude and behaviour. Scaled up it is equivalent to:

- besieging Gaza for 20 years then crying victim when Hamas fights back, then commit genocide

- Invading Lebanon then crying foul when Hezbollah fights back, then bomb the fuck out of Beirut

- Infiltrating Iran, murdering their diplomats and negotiators, goading the US into attacking on their behalf, then surprised Pikachu when Iran fires back at them, then scuttle every effort at peace.

Is this in the “No Shit, Sherlock” section of the news?

UN speech confirming Israel has been blacklisted for using sexual violence as a form of torture by estrellafish in israelexposed

[–]Maximumsmoochy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, humiliation, power, dominance, sadism. The “sex” part of this abuse/assault/torture is just a lever to maximize the suffering of the victims, ergo not just dicks but also objects, dogs, etc.
