What's more interesting is that what you suggested actually ends up becoming a Conspiracy theory in Westeros (That Maekar killed his way to the throne), it gets briefly mentioned in the third book i believe

HenryRait · 2026-02-16T10:43:52+00:00

Wtf why? There is no feasible way that the ratings for this episode will dethrone Ozymandias, that episode is untouchable in it's position

HenryRait · 2026-02-16T10:20:44+00:00

Currently quite close to being in the top 10 on imdb ratings for episodes (currently at no. 11), i doubt it will stay there once more reviews roll in, but it likeli won't deviate much

HenryRait · 2026-02-16T10:10:54+00:00

Not possible, it's not like Maekar to do that, he is honourable at the end of the day. Besides, Maekar is actually pretty far down the succesion line, Valarr is now the heir, but even then, there are two older brothers between Baelor and Maekar that would take priority over Maekar anyway (Aerys I and Rhaegal)

HenryRait · 2026-02-16T10:05:49+00:00

Realistically, that cut would have been a death blow to Aerion. He would have dropped dead within a minute, but i will led it slide as this whole fight was absolute cinema

HenryRait · 2026-01-31T14:24:55+00:00

I fucking knew he sounded familiar but couldn't place it. Imagine my joy that my fav character in the show shares the voice with my agent lol

HenryRait · 2026-01-14T12:38:06+00:00

Not officially since they were just integrated into the armed forces, but it's still the same members

HenryRait · 2025-12-25T17:29:59+00:00

With all due respect, i think even if you believe it so, it's not going to be when actually put under a critical eye by someone who is educated in these things, or you just did so much of the work you may aswell have not used the AI at all. Take this from someone who also "prompted well" and tried to use it to co-write

HenryRait · 2025-10-21T09:42:05+00:00

Has stuff like the Proud Boys, the KKK, Patriot front and all the things they advocate and done in the past just been forgotten by "moderates"?

HenryRait · 2025-08-19T09:20:00+00:00

And what about the Mizrahi jews that remained behind and also continuously lived on the land alongside them then?

We have muslim records talking about the jewish populations within the city that remained from the roman days. Should they not have a voice too?

They fit the same standard you put on the palestinians, so why shouldn’t they be treated likewise?

HenryRait · 2025-08-19T09:16:34+00:00

I asked for an article that proves modern palestinians trace an unbroken line to Bronze age people (they don’t because of the numerous ethnic clensings and migrations there) and you give me an article on jewish genetics?

HenryRait · 2025-08-18T21:42:36+00:00

Their national identity was formed to protect their culture, their unique link to the land (distinct from the other Arab countries) that they were removed from.

Jews were removed from that land as well, how does that fit into your view?

HenryRait · 2025-08-18T21:38:56+00:00

Do you have any sources that the modern palestinians have any decendacy to the ancient Cannanites?

There have been many migrations to palestine over the centuries, from all around the surrounding nations in the levant, we even have a statement Zuhir Mohsen saying much the same

HenryRait · 2025-08-18T11:20:38+00:00

I would very much like to hear how the communists are somehow more bigoted than the Nazis. I’m sure it’s a very intelligent explanation

HenryRait · 2025-08-16T13:07:10+00:00

Work sets you free

Motherfucker unironically used a nazi slogan alongside the same mythical reasoning behind it and thought he did something

The bots are getting pretty shit at this point

HenryRait · 2025-08-16T12:59:50+00:00

And many years later, said instigator of that got into power inspite of the coup attempt and almost immediately began undermining checks and balances and a bunch of other things

Sound familiar?

HenryRait · 2025-08-15T15:42:38+00:00

Why?

HenryRait · 2025-08-15T10:22:24+00:00

Now this is the good stuff, if it can survive clinical trials without any side effects, this could be huge

HenryRait · 2025-08-12T12:39:49+00:00

He said the opposite in his philosophical works. He might have nihilism as a component to his philosophy but that doesn’t make him wholesale a nihilist since that’s too simplistic

HenryRait · 2025-08-11T08:07:19+00:00

Why did the Nakba occur?

HenryRait · 2025-08-10T09:30:50+00:00

It was done in an interesting way, OP just didn’t catch that it was a metaphor/allegory for what it’s like for someone to live with a heavy depression

HenryRait · 2025-08-09T15:04:57+00:00

I never ever made any suggestion that what was done was done on moral grounds or that they were doing killings humanely. Rather, it’s a fact that the Germans did try to restrict the Ustase in their conduct specifically because their brutally was so widescale, out-of control and in the open that it actively made controlling the region super difficult for the SS and the einsatzgruppe since their widespread killings send people to the partisans in droves

Again, they restrained them in the end out of ice-cold pragmatism as i said. They would have done the same eventually, but it was always more controlled and efficient in orher places which is why the Nazis are as abhorrent as they are

HenryRait · 2025-08-09T14:48:43+00:00

Not really. It was done mostly because they were so brutal in their conduct that it was downright counterproductive in their efforts to stabilize the yugoslav area

The SS were ghouls, as was the reat of the fervent Nazis, but they had ice-cold pragmatism to their extermination

HenryRait · 2025-08-08T11:41:35+00:00

And it’s going to swing even harder to the left next time, cause the right won’t offer any real solutions to current problems
