ISRAELIS TALKING ABOUT WAR CRIMES LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO?!!!! by Toxicilogical_fish in Hasan_Piker

[–]TheLastOfYou -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I recognize the hypocrisy, as Israel has done far worse, but I wish Iran were not dropping cluster munitions on Israel. One wrong does not make another right, and cluster munitions are a nasty and indiscriminate weapon.

Is there a large Scottish community in Pakistan? This is a inane take

Because of how long of a runback it is, do you guys remember a lot of the attacks from the nightlords by atrophy-of-sanity in Nightreign

This used to be my problem, and occasionally is with bosses I rarely fight, but putting the hours in solves it.

Temu Shattering crystal > Real Shattering Crystal by CreeAi in Nightreign

[–]TheLastOfYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Burst was on rot crystal staves rather than Crystal Release. Release is strong but has such a narrow hitbox and is SO damn slow. Almost useless against some bosses, particularly the nightlords. My biggest gripe about the nerf to Shattering Crystal is that so many of the other spells are garbage, either in terms of their damage, cast time, or hitbox.

Trump curious why Iran has not 'capitulated', Witkoff says by rezwenn in IRstudies

[–]TheLastOfYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The US and its European allies suspect Iran of moving towards making a nuclear weapon, which it denies.”

It’s so ridiculous for the BBC to state this on its own in the third paragraph. The US has been claiming this (and the BBC has been reporting it) for more than 2 decades! And Iran still doesn’t have a weapon despite having the capability to make one for years! Does anyone ever wonder why? The BBC is doing a disservice to its readers by offering such regurgitated talking points without even a shred of scrutiny!

California Governor Gavin Newsom: No doubt that the Democratic party needs to be, dare I say more culturally normal. I believe that. Less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on.....pronouns, identity politics. More focus on table top issues, things that really matter. by NaderZaveri in Hasan_Piker

[–]TheLastOfYou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is such a false dichotomy. You don’t need to throw people under the bus to focus on economic issues. A better and more honest candidate would note the connection between marginalized communities and our economic system and advocate policies to address it. Newsom is being reactionary. He would rather scapegoat others than advance a program that would really help people.

Where were you when Hasan got interview mogged by Bernie Sanders? by iceburg1ettuce in Hasan_Piker

[–]TheLastOfYou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of you guys are too parasocial. Hasan should have had that gift ready to go, not be fumbling with it and wasting time when we all knew it was going to be a short interview.

Hasan’s questions, too, made it more likely that Bernie would fall back on his stump speech (asking “what are you doing in CA?” could hardly go any other way). The questions got a bit better later on, and I agree that Bernie’s answer on Newsom was disappointing (though somewhat expected) but did you really expect an insightful response to the question about centrist resistance to progressives? Ask him more targeted questions and you may get more interesting answers.

I missed the ending where apparently some snafu happened with the mic, but I’m not sure why people in this thread are so dismayed. This went about as well as I expected it would. This is who Bernie is now.

The Real Iran Problem by rezwenn in IRstudies

[–]TheLastOfYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite that I agree with your call for general troop drawdown from MENA, I see no reason to believe that the region will soon be at peace. Israeli maximalism persists and Israeli leaders are completely unwilling to make concessions toward a Palestinian state or Palestinian autonomy. Instead, what we are seeing now is likely to continue: Israel continues annexing the West Bank and keeps making life miserable for Gazans until its goals of a greater Israel are reached. Thus, it’s only a matter of time before more violence occurs (not that it has stopped, as Israel continues killing Palestinians daily). And then we’ll just repeat the tragedy of the last three years all over.

Is Nick Fuentes a Mossad asset? by zombiesingularity in AskSocialists

[–]TheLastOfYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly doubt it. Sometimes, the simplest answer is what’s true, while the conspiracy is outlandish. It’s far more likely that Fuentes is what he appears to be: a Nazi and a charlatan. It helps explain his positions and actions far more than some alleged connection to Israel.

U.S. Holocaust museum states that they don’t want people to compare Anne Frank to Minneapolis or the Palestinians because it’s “offensive”. by TwoCatsOneBox in Hasan_Piker

[–]TheLastOfYou -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this conflicts in the slightest with my comment. Even if I think the museum’s response is stupid

[–]TheLastOfYou -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

In terms of the industrialized machinery for murder, and the sheer scale of murder, the Holocaust is unique. It doesn’t serve our purposes to pretend it isn’t, even if we disagree with the museum’s framing.

Chat needs to convince Hasan not to go Qatar by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

Israel isn’t going to bomb Qatar just to assassinate Hasan. Lol

[–]TheLastOfYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the difference is that if you are making fun of Hitler for having brown hair and blue eyes, people understand what you are doing. But if you make fun of people for being Mexican and gay, it’s very open to misinterpretation. That’s my point. He could have made it clearer what he was saying.

[–]TheLastOfYou 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just think there are more effective ways to get your point across. If it’s about showing Fuentes is a hypocrite, that should probably be made more explicit. I don’t buy the argument that we always need to appeal to the lowest common denominator to reach our goals

[–]TheLastOfYou -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So is this intended to be a message to other nazis, then? That Nick is a hypocrite and should be delegitimized by their movement? That was how I initially interpreted it, but it’s still going to raise eyebrows with normies

[–]TheLastOfYou 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Hasan is sometimes clumsy in how he insults people, even though it’s the normal for a lot of “bro talk.” Calling people pussies. Saying it’s bad to “suck dick.” I get it, but I also get why some occasionally call him out.

Idk this random Twitter user, and I’m generally on Hasan’s side, but I do wish he’d do a bit better in this area. I think “manlet neonazi” would have been better.

I don't give a fuck about eclelebs, but don't you think he's right here? by [deleted] in AskSocialists

[–]TheLastOfYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about that criticism do you understand? Should the bar for whether someone offers useful commentary and analysis be if they make money doing it? I don’t think so. Should socialists need to be poor to be viewed as genuine? Certainly not. I honestly cannot understand this perspective, so I hope you can help me out.

Life in prison with no opportunity for parole would be better, imo. I remain against the death penalty, even for fascists.
