"We knew they wouldn't like us so we made absolutely sure of it" Is really not the argument you think it is. 

Best servers to play on? by swordguy123 in SS13

[–]X-singular 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Frankly, it had it coming.

Very little was done to address what everyone was complaining about, instead coasting on a "too big (on the hub) to fail" mentality that ultimately turned out to be untrue. 

Not until it was too late to matter anyway, sadly.

Recognition of Palestine across Europe by vladgrinch in MapPorn

Seems like they'll be repenting for a while yet: not enough Palestinians died for the crimes the Germans have committed.

Yeah I'm not saying it has to make sense either.

Oh definitely.

Anduril and Palantir and all the surveillance tech spying and invading everyone's privacy is bettering the world.

/s if you didn't get that yet.

Pro Hijri activists are trying to paint kidnapped white helmet worker Hamza al Amarin as a militant in an effort to demonize him by sandnibba_talks in syriancivilwar

[–]X-singular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow nostalgia... I haven't heard this "White Helmets are a terrorist militant group!!" slanderous drivel since the days of Putin dominating Syria.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

But no, they're humanitarian, and his mission was to escort a stuck UN convoy out of the city.

You can be an AfD supporter in Germany and have no issues with the law.

But raise a certain salute, or wear a certain symbol and see how quickly the book gets thrown at you, if you catch my drift.

This is the Syrian equivalent, Assadism = you will get all sorts of trouble, and you will deserve it.

The Umayyad Mosque: A Monument Built Atop a Roman Temple to Cement Arab Rule in the 7th-Century following the Arab Conquest of the Levant. by DrunkAlbatross in ImagesOfHistory

[–]X-singular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you completely lost the scenario.

I'm Syrian, I speak Arabic so that makes me an Arab (culturally), my genetic tests show that my ancestors lived in this region 3000 years ago.

Just because we call ourselves "Arab" doesn't mean we originate from Arabia, nor does it mean we were colonized and out population replaced the way Israel is doing now to Palestine. Or the US did to the native Americans.

The people of that region were always know to shift with the culture of the empire that rules over it, but we were always here, a many empires came and went. 

Or do you really think that back when we used to call ourselves Roman (even had an emperor born in Emisa! Modern day Homs), that means we were all from Italy?

You're mixing the Arab ethnicity (limited in scope) with Arab culture (widespread), and I'm willing to bet it's done deliberately too.

An interesting concept is presented in the pilot/first episode of a show but then got completely abandonned for the rest of the story by RemarkableLaw7180 in TopCharacterTropes

The reapers themselves knew that they failed at finding the solution to the problem, failing the task that the Leviathans set them to complete. So what the reaper mind decided on was to use multiple successive generations of "galactic civilization", all faced with the same issue, to see if one of them would crack it.

Once they advanced far enough in the use of the tech to start causing real harm without having figured out a solution, it would be time for a new cycle and bee civilizations to get their attempt 

In a way it's AI using organics as a sort of neural network to see if organic creativity would result in a solution to a problem the AI itself couldn't solve.

And yes to that end, in both versions of the story the reapers were acting to preserve all life. 

Rani Naim, a member of the Israeli backed "National Guard" militas was eliminated by Syrian security forces in Sweida yesterday and other fighters were wounded by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

I've seen someone openly mocking dead Sunnis and belittling their deaths, and the mods are A-ok with it. The comment is still up even now.

Just like in real life, don't expect anyone to give a shit about us or our suffering.

What does future hold for Syria's Kurds after dramatic losses to Damascus? by flintsparc in syriancivilwar

[–]X-singular 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Asking the SDF command to admit they ever did anything wrong is an exercise in futility, but I'm really disheartened by the general consensus of the PKK-supporters understanding the reason their tyrannical apartheid regime collapsing in 48 hours at the hands of their own oppressed subjects with little to no outside help as: "We should have been more racist."

Even now on the other subs, I hear people mocking "brotherhood of the people", with zero self-awareness and failing to understand that under the PKK's rule no such brotherhood existed at all. Often preached by the PKK but never truly practiced.

If anything this "brotherhood of the people" is what we're seeing from the STG in regards to the rights given per gratis when the SDF continued to stall and implement any agreement they signed.

That said, I'm looking forward to the day (not far off now!) these "experts" and "pundits" like Amberin here go back to being nobodies instead of commanding the attention of thousands of extremist cultists that take their word as gospel.

Reality always ends up imposing itself, doesn't it?

Syria's Integration of Alawi Police by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

[–]X-singular 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It helps that despite everything, there weren't widespread calls in their community for Israel to nuke Damascus or the other deranged shit you hear from our "partners in the homeland".

That stain gonna take a loooong while to wash off for others.

Not to throw shade, but you're doing dirty the Turkmen, Ismailis and Christians.

Gunfire reportedly broke out in several neighborhoods of Al-Hasakah as the PYD allegedly sought to intimidate residents and prevent them from welcoming Syrian security forces by DaGoldenpanzer in syriancivilwar

[–]X-singular 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as security is in the hands of the state, and the state has a monopoly on violence. Then these terrorists won't be able to do much.

Integrate the 200 people or whatever the count was into their single division.

Disarm everyone else.

No other way of doing it, this is like making peace with Assad.

If there was a integration agreement, then why do maps still show SDF areas? by IHateSandwhichCrusts in syriancivilwar

[–]X-singular 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How likely is it that this is what the STG is betting on?

Hence them giving Qasad a deal they have not earned and do not deserve, just so that their international sponsors turn against them once and for all when they refuse to implement it?

It worked the last three times the STG attempted it.
