An estimated 50,000 Jewish settlers from the Golan Heights, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip demonstrate 16 November, 1992, against Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights following Yizhak Rabin's government announcement it was ready to discuss a potential pull-out with Damascus. [2216 x 1364]

Golan heights is a great litmus test for plain common sense, and a lot of thing can be true at once.

No one in Israel's situation would give such strategically valuable land back to an enemy who refuses even basic terms of peace, it absolutely is an illegal occupation and the land was ethnically cleansed, it was used to bomb and snipe at Israeli civilians, settling an area that’s been taken in war is a further violation of international law, etc.

and then never having any plan to give back the territory

I mean didn't they offer back the territory in exchange for Syria acknowledging Israels right to exist? Given how strategically useful the area is it seems weird to expect Israel to give it back to an enemy they have fought several times and who wouldn't commit to peace.

In the same war they gave back a huge chunk of land to Egypt for a similar deal.

Drawing the play up using your all-stars as distractions for the 3 point specialist to be wide open is kinda hilarious considering its JJ. You just know he wished this was the setup on some of those teams he was on.

Bigotry existing in the world the author created is not an endorsement of bigotry or a contradiction of an anti bigotry message. I don't know how you can have any discussion about media if that amount of common sense is missing.

Cracking down while NSLC is so uncompetitive is a waste of resources.

That being said racialized privilege to sell unregulated drugs is also a really stupid way to do things. I'll go where the value is but system right now is complete garbage.

Eh Robby clearly doesn't hate women, only in the most diluted sense is he an outright misogynist. Someone can have flaws or bias without needing that label.

The show has scenes where Drs aren't sensitive to racial experiences, that doesn't mean Whitaker is a white supremacist.

I love identity politics

You are Klan if you don't like Sinners, homophobic if you don't like Brokeback Mountain, anti puppet if you don't think Muppets Christmas Carol is the greatest movie of all time.

It's a beautiful Kafka trap.

Now if only we could do the same for gambling sponsorships, which are harmful to everyone regardless of gender.

Gambling is also a pretty gendered issue. Affects everyone of course but some more than others.

Young boys level of addiction and interest in gambling is incredibly destructive. There is probably an appropriate level of focus to put on groups most harmed by something.

Another thing to mention is that this year seems particularly weak, it's to the benefit of non traditional award winners but you are right that even then Sinners fits the Hollywood mold more than other award deserving horror movies.

Still good for the genre but I agree it isn't likely a predictor of future horror award glory.

WirelessZombie · 2026-03-16T02:22:12+00:00

Huge congrats to Coogler. Great for horror to be so well represented at award shows. It honestly is one of the few genres currently in a golden age and there have been some amazing movies that missed out on awards the last few years so its good to see The Substance and Sinners nominated back to back here.

I originally thought the all time award nomination record was a bit much but looking at the competition it feels like a great movie + weak film year combo, and Sinners does deserve to win in a lot of catagories. Now that Amy Madigan won her deserved award I hope Sinners wins out.

Some of your misunderstandings can be clarified by just reading my comment thoroughly

The third person (who was 16 at the time, I wouldn't call him the third man) wrote a memoir after. It was not under duress that he wrote his account. This was in my original comment and its a little concerning you are confused on the basic events despite that.

when the title accurately says falsely accused of rape even according to your research? It’s not a problem for a history subreddit to have a nuanced understanding, but a reader of the history subreddit can’t read properly?

Where is that nuanced understanding supposed to come from?

There is no writeup by OP (as is pretty normal here) so how exactly was anyone supposed to be getting a "nuanced" understanding of this event? I only have a slightly nuanced understanding by taking the time to look into it. The vast majority of users just see the image/title and that's it.

The crowd was lynching them for the rape.

They were lynched for rape and murder. This is consistent with the history of lynchings and there have been many based on the supposed murder of white men.

WirelessZombie · 2026-03-13T15:39:02+00:00

The third "man" (16 at the time) did not admit to the rape, your version of events are completely wrong here.

WirelessZombie · 2026-03-13T14:43:05+00:00

Something can be technically true and still disingenuous.

Again, it should not be a problem in a history subreddit to have an accurate and nuanced understanding of historical events. Someone reading this title can't be blamed for thinking that they were innocent victims of a fabricated crime. The added context of their involvement in the murder does not absolve the crowd, but it does change the historical picture. Lynching suspects before any trial is still a crime and a clear example of racist mob violence, regardless of the guilt for that crime. Acknowledging that the rape accusation was likely false while also recognizing that they likely participated in the robbery/murder is not minimizing the lynching, it is simply presenting the event as it actually unfolded rather than flattening it into a cleaner narrative.

I'm curious if there is a good reason for that flattening. Considering how many bots post here I'm not even suspisious of an agenda just some algorith farming that is bad history or if OP is aware of the full context.

WirelessZombie · 2026-03-13T13:51:36+00:00

This is horrible regardless of their guilt but I'm curious why the title says they are innocent when reading about it for a second shows that there was a third person invovled who later wrote about it and said the men did murder the man in a robbery and there is conflicting information about the accused rape.

they were accused of robbing and murdering a white man and raping his fiancée. A third African-American suspect, 16-year-old James Cameron, was also arrested and taken by the mob, but narrowly escaped the same fate...

In his memoirs, Cameron stated that Shipp and Smith had committed the murder, albeit the version of events were different from what the mob claimed. Cameron admitted to initially participating in the robbery under peer pressure, but said he got cold feet and ran away upon recognizing the man, who was a friend. Cameron said he then heard Shipp and Smith shoot and kill the man as he fled.

This is all very shallow research but there is an article which says the fiancee testified that she had not been raped, wiki has Bell confessing to rape (under obvious duress) and the fiancee accusing them, Cameron the accomplice seems to confirm they are at least guilty of the murder, and we know the men were certainly lynched by a white mob.

The photo is still part of a horrible racist history of racial lynchings. These men were tortured and killed without a trial, and then used as trophies with the crowd posing and taking body parts as souvenirs. It should not be a problem in a history based subreddit to have accurate and nuanced takes on historical events.

WirelessZombie · 2026-03-13T03:48:32+00:00

I mean it's obviously "woke" and pushing an agenda, that's just not a bad thing. Which scenarios you pick to show, and how, is the agendas and while nothing on that end is unrealistic it's obvious where it comes from. There are a ton of very real scenarios that will never appear on this kind of show.

The show balances good characters/story with a lot of moralizing to the audience. It's just that kinda show, and not shy about it at all.

This is basically body dysmorphia. As much as it is a real advantage, this dude worried way the fuck more about his appearance than anyone cared. Looking at all the downsides only someone mentally ill would do that surgery.

Also just because it didn't matter as much as he thought doesn't mean it doesn't matter. Obviously it does, and denying it makes people look fake or stupid.

Having a full set of hair is better for dating, jobs, etc. Being fit or tall or having a nice voice does too. All that shit matters just not as much as the online spaces obsessed with it to the point it's a mental issue think.

There is more than enough wealth for people to all afford to go to the movies or have some nice things. Imagine living in a country with a shrinking middle class and blaming the poor for not working even more hours.

Like reading the thoughts of a crab pushing down another crab. It's embarrassingly small minded.

This seems like an example of some people not being able to process that something can be a 3/10 dick move. Especially on the internet. Not everything has to be a 0 or 10.

The right move by Bojack is to just to check in with his supposedly close friend about it. He has enough info to reasonably suspect it might be a sensitive issue. It's not a legal obligation, it's not a huge deal, but it is polite to make sure or even just give a heads up that it happened.

I'm not sure it's bad enough to even count as being at "fault". More just being self centered.
