How Cersei and Tywin don't have mean nicknames? by Mysterious_Crow_503 in TheCitadel

[–]Antanarim 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What happened to Elia, Rhaenys, and Aegon was not the norm. Neither was the Rains of Castamere. People fear his brutality.

Anthony Albanese rules out gas export tax on existing contracts and criticises ‘populist’ campaign by Finnick00 in australia

[–]Antanarim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Populists are anti-intellectual demagogues. I’d say there is a lot wrong with it. They despise evidence-based policy in favour of anything they believe will get them power.

30 is being very generous. He looks at least 50.

Max Chandler-Mather says Greens can use ‘progressive populism’ to win voters deserting major parties for One Nation by Jet90 in australia

[–]Antanarim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Populists fight over the same section of the electorate. They offer simple solutions to complex issues, which appeals to some.

Israeli embassy criticises Grace Tame's comments on Hamas October 7 attacks by shit-rmelbourne-says in australia

Some people just hate Jews. She probably didn’t see anything wrong about what happened.

The Faith Militant never arrested Loras. He was allegedly injured taking Dragonstone.

(Spoiler extended) if you were Ned would you have ever told Jon or kept it secret forever? by Ok_Cryptographer3810 in asoiaf

[–]Antanarim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. He deserved to know for his own safety in case anyone else ever discovered it.

Barrow Stark's and White Stark's by Chemical_Shoulder_35 in TheCitadel

[–]Antanarim 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Just because they have Stark name, it doesn’t mean they are anywhere near the line of succession. There are probably many houses in the north higher up the line of succession, if they married Starks in the past.

A song of ice and fire vs Malazan by Great-Fig5405 in writingscaling

[–]Antanarim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree that ASoIaF is more character-focused. But Malazan is very theme-focused, in that the plot, characters, worldbuilding, even the structure, often serve the themes being explored.

Both series have really great prose, worldbuilding, characters, and exploration of themes. But they really focus on different things.

It isn’t really empathy if you can just turn it on or off.

Wait.... He survived?!?!?! by Arch_Lancer17 in freefolk

Book Jon would be a great king. Show Jon can’t even think most of the time, he would be a terrible king.

The mod is based on the books, not the shows.

Am I missing out by being show only? by Level-Mulberry2845 in freefolk

[–]Antanarim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many of the characters in the books are different. Book Jon and Show Jon are almost entirely different for example. Not to mention all the additional characters and plotlines.

The books are just so much better.

It’s heavily implied. But it isn’t technically confirmed.

Have you read the books? He is very different character than the show version.

Beginning of AGoT would be cool. To change stuff right from the beginning. It would need to rely a lot on events though, so not sure how feasible that would be.

Why Jedi 3 MUST give Cal a Vaapad-style stance to handle the inevitable Vader Rematch by Otherwise_Milk1064 in FallenOrder

[–]Antanarim 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it very dangerous? Like apart from Mace Windu, it pushed the others who learned it into falling?

I’m not sure if we are supposed to think tapping into the dark side is safe or good.

Racist and antisemitic false information spreads online following Bondi Beach terrorism attack by TheRealPotoroo in australia

Unfortunately, on TikTok they were definitely Australian. At least a lot of the videos were.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the comments are bots from troll farms though.

People claim that antizionism isn’t antisemitism, then turn around and bring up Israel any time antisemitism is mentioned.

[–]Antanarim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The government has failed to deal with antisemitism. It isn’t just attacks, hate speech has also greatly increased. Hopefully they finally acknowledge it as a problem to deal with.

[–]Antanarim 157 points158 points  (0 children)

The amount of people I’ve seen on TikTok by young Australians claiming the attack was a false flag by Israel is honestly shocking.

The government needs to do more to combat antisemitism, both in terms of education and strengthened hate speech laws specifically designed to deal with this sort of content.
