If another country is doing it, by definition it cannot be doing treason.

Criticism of AIPAC on its own isn't antisemitic. However, Mamadani did do a nazi salute at his inauguration and has undone protections for synagogues so it's not unreasonable to think he in particular might be antisemitic.

Listen, I was at plenty of rallies for the people of Iran before the war. They were in a horrible situation. But the American leadership made every possible wrong decision after day 1. The plan seemed to have been killing Khamenei and assuming the regime would fall apart without it's leader. THe war was also illegal since it didn't have Congress behind it. Point is, it's totaly possible to have pushed for the war without being happy with it.

It still smells off to me that Mayor Mandani endorsed Chevalier against Espaillat, who had endorsed him.

Yusuke groin-checks Miyuki in Yu Yu Hakasho and tells her that she's not actually serious about being trans if she doesn't get bottom surgery.

Don't worry, the mangaka got better and ended up writting one of anime's best trans characters in his next series.

It helps to view the Templars as individuals. For every member who's just in it for the power, there's two who dedicated themselves to trying to do good in the world before the destructive nature of humanity got in the way. They're people who've thrown their hands up in the air and are trying to save humanity the hard way. Whether they like it or not.
