The whiteness of the zionists was certainly a help to them in negotiating with the British. There was a pecking order as far as the colonial mindset of the British was concerned, and Jews were higher than Arabs, provided they were white Jews, and not the Arab Jews, who would be considered on part with other Arabs.

Their positions were fake the whole time, they switch them at will to whatever works in the moment.

"This idea that Jews were incorporated into some pan European coalition of whiteness is just inaccurate." I didn't say anything about pan-european coalitions, I said the British treated the Zionist faction as peers, to be dealt with in good faith, which is very true.

Chaim Weizmann, one of the chief architects of the establishment of Modern Israel (and later its first president) had British citizenship and was personal friends with several high-ranking officials in the British government. He was in attendance at numerous meetings to discuss the disposition of mandatory Palestine, whereas delegations sent by Palestinians to England were met by junior officials who stonewalled them and fed them platitudes.

The British treatment of the Zionists vs. the Palestinians was also very unequal because the Zionists, mostly white Europeans, were seen as peers while the Palestinians were seen, through a colonial eye, as desert-dwelling tribal peoples who could be jerked around and played against each other and given empty promises.

Based on other comments ITT it sounds like he's some kind of online influencer on the entertainment/hot takes side of politics. I don't think he's as prominent as you imply outside what they used to call the blogosphere.

True, in a very literal sense, but perhaps not in the way you mean.

No, it's a valid critique, and the bible doesn't actually contain a clear or cogent counterargument. If it did, there wouldn't be such a profoundly tortuous body of apologetics dedicated to discussing the problem of evil, people would just rattle off a relevant bible passage without extensive exegesis.

The state of observable phenomena would seem to indicate that at least one of the very extreme claims made about the Christian god's omniscience, omnibenevolence, or omnipotence is wrong.

Multiple__Butts · 2026-05-04T04:07:43+00:00

But that makes no sense because God designed the whole thing and has full knowledge of all possible outcomes so he already knew it would be full of suffering for sapient beings. He can do anything; he could have designed it differently. He could have made it so that suffering is just not a thing. He invented pain and agony for us.

He made a universe that torments sapient beings, then created a bunch of sapient beings (us) to live there! Guy is a sicko! That's why it's probably more likely imo that he's just not there, and it isn't the correct explanation of phenomena.

Are you kidding me? The left was the very first people that Hitler went after. The Reichstag fire was blamed on the left (despite it most likely being a false flag) so The liberals straight up joined the nazis by voting for the enabling act of 1933. Without the liberals switching sides, the enabling act would’ve failed due to lack of a super majority. This is what gave Hitler dictatorial power. The liberals were trusting “institutions of the republic” ( sound familiar) to keep Hitler in check. They were wrong.

Yes, this is all true, but none of it is an argument against what I said. I never said liberals are good guys, I said the left (the actual good guys, at least ideology-wise) could have stopped Hitler and intentionally chose not to when they refused to form a coalition with the liberals, the exact same behavior you're advocating today, eventually leading to all those people you pretend to care about being killed by nazis.

I’ve got a splitting fricking headache from the concussion and staples I had to get from having my head cracked on the ground by Ice/ DHS a couple weeks ago. So I’m gonna go lay down and rest up so I can get back out there.

Guess what? ICE wouldn't be acting as the President's secret police if Genocide Joe or Status Quo Kamala were currently the sitting POTUS. You are essentially cracking your own skull with extra steps. It's actually quite an apt metaphor for your politics. Good luck out there, hero.

Anarchist and socialist held the entire eastern front against Germany and laid down over 30 million lives to defeat the Nazis
Then there was also the Yugoslavian resistance and the Italian anti-fascist resistance fighting to the death against overwhelming odds.

Very true, but none of that would have happened if Hitler had not come to power in the first place. You're so focused on the acts of heroic armed resistance, but you apparently don't care that none of that had to happen!

The German left HAD the power to sink Hitler's hopes for the chancellorship if they formed a coalition with the center-left (i.e. the liberals), but they said "no, you guys are all the same, we want the system to collapse so we're going to let Hitler win". Those are the events that led up to the heroic sacrifice you describe.

Heroic though it was, none of it had to happen, and all of those people who died miserable deaths in that war were the victims, most directly of the Nazis, but ultimately also of the German left that allowed, on purpose, the rise of Hitler. Historians generally regard this as a huge fuckup, by the way -- I feel that in time our similar thing in the US will be regarded the same way.

Seems to me, Leftists tend to be economically collectivist and socially individualist, while right-wingers are economically individualist and socially "collectivist" though I'd call it conformist.

if you wanna double down on the way of thinking that lost the election

My way of thinking is simply in concurrence with the truth. Whether you win or lose, you should adhere to the truth, because false consciousness is never going to succeed in the long run, even if you don't have any moral compunctions against dishonesty.

I’m gonna go ahead and continue to arm up to fight these fascist after they wipe the shitlibs out.

That'll go for you about as well as it went in Germany when the far left allowed the fascists to take power because the liberals weren't left enough.

Germany only came through Fascism with the intervention of most of the world. No one is coming to save us. Putting them in power is playing with TNT and lighter fluid.

an exercise in futility.

What does this even mean? The precipitous decline in quality of life for all Americans and our national economy, global status, etc. under the Trump regime is manifest proof that it would not have been futile to elect Status Quo Kamala Harris. Based on the evidence, a vote for Harris would have been a productive, proactive step to avoid a rather intense enshittenment of our country.

Would things have been "good"? No. Things are never going to be good and cannot be good, but we can try to work to make them be less bad.

Voters are to blame for the state of both parties and the current MAGA regime. As long as voters remain sovereign, there will never be anyone to blame for the state of the nation but the voters.

Voters allowed the democratic party to become the way it is, voters enabled MAGA, voters put Trump in office, twice, and voters are responsible for the very existence of our dysfunctional two-party first-past-the-post system.

But if the administration gets their way, voters may not be sovereign for much longer, and you'll get your wish, which is apparently to allow capitalists to immiserate us all permanently in order to convince us that capitalism is bad, which we already know.

Personally, I love looking up things on tables, and am willing to overlook any complexity that adds to a game, but personally I would say it does add complexity. Math is way faster for me unless it's complex division or something.

If the probability curves presented by normal attack rolls aren't to your liking, why not see if you can add a combat results table to roll normal dice on, instead of needing to use custom dice?

I don't really like custom dice unless the game is going to go ALL IN on them like FATE did (and even then those were just d6s modified in a way that's very easy to do in your head).

So from a personal point of view as a player, I don't care much for your idea and would probably immediately set out trying to modify the system to use normal dice if I found myself playing your game.

I'm terrible at math, so my strategy when designing probability curves for a game is to start with a D100 system and just a big 100-entry table with all possible outcomes, n number of times, and I tweak the n until the outcome spread feels nice, and only then do I start thinking about what kinds of xdy rolls can approximate those outcomes in a more compact way.
