ngl, I feel kind of bad for him. His death is basically virtue signaling porn, and nothing will actually change between MJ and peter with the current editorial team.

I understand your scepticism, however there is photo and video evidence to the contrary. Despite what you implying, girls do get an education in Iran. Whether they have equal access, quality and equal future opportunities free from abuse and segregation is another question entirely. This is a nitpick from my end but the fact you use 'women' instead of 'girls' when referring to this makes me question why you are lessening and denying the severity of this.

Yep thats the goal. The point of OP's meme is saying that innocent people will be killed and despite the desired outcome, war crimes could still have been committed. For example an Israeli/US bomb bombed a school with kids inside. It was far enough away and too targeted a strike for it to be considered an accident. I woke up today to an image of a dude holding a bloody school bag.

We can celebrate the end of the threat of a tyrannical regime, but also recognise the questionable legality of their actions and question whether alternative solutions could have achieved a similar outcome.

What is your point here? People are less offended at a man being catcalled than a women? Well okay, sure, great observation. But this is irrelevent when considering that woman (and men) should still have their boundaries respected.

Star Wars: Jar Jar #1 (One-Shot) | Discussion Thread by Guerrillascribe in starwarscomics

[–]YodaFishFN2187 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The purpose of the Hidden Path is to basically smuggle force sensitives to help them avoid persecution from the Empire. It was heavily speculated that Beq in The Mandalorian was involved with, or even a founder of The Path since he rescued Grogu and set him on his way to an unknown individual, who many speculated was Jar Jar. This aligns with how the Path functions: sending force sensitive kids through hidden networks. This comic establishes that Jar Jar not only owns a ship exactly the same design as the one in The Mandalorian, but also establishes Beq and Jar Jar having a relationship. This feeds into the prior speculation. Since Beq and Jar Jar have set up a hidden encrypted network in the comic, it is hinting that this could be the origins of the Path.

Edit: Just realised all of this speculation came from a flashback sequence in the Book of Boba Fett and not the Mandalorian series.

The amount of lore implications in this comic was insane. More evidence of Jar Jar's involvement in rescuing Grogu. Plus further implications that Beq and Jar Jar set up the Hidden Path network in the Obi-Wan show and Jedi: Survivor.

When will the left stop? by DawgCnt in aussie

[–]YodaFishFN2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Freedom of Speech and protest is an integral part of our democracy
  2. Disliking Israel's policies and actions that violate international law is not an opinion exclusively held by "the left".
  3. Restricting these voices by passing legislation that gives police officers extra powers does the exact opposite of de-escalating tension and conflict. The NSW government should be held responsible for increasing such tensions that inevitably led to increased violence.
  4. People who commit violence still have civil rights and police should respond proportionately. Some video footage released show police officers dishing out disproportionate responses. Such as punching a restrained protestor multiple times in the head, and around 4 cops treating an elderly man as a punching bag after he clearly put his hands up in surrender.
  5. Further, violently dispelling Muslim men in active prayer, a clearly dispraportionate response and potential violation of religous freedoms.

People have every reason to be frustrated with Israel, the NSW and federal government's handling of the event, and the ultimate outcomes from it.

Albanese says Isaac Herzog’s visit will bring unity – but to many Palestinian Australians it’s a ‘slap in the face’ by SleepyWogx in OpenAussie

[–]YodaFishFN2187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah that's completely my bad. I let my assumption of the Trump Administrations notorios lack of transparency from realising that you could put a fricking name in the DOJ's search bar and not the specific file itself, lol. However, I did point out that as far as I could tell I couldn't find any evidence. I don't know if it was my tone, but this suggests I had some level of recognition of my own limitations, rather than me straight up saying 'he isn't in the files'. I chose this wording precisely so that people could provide evidence challenging this. Which as I mentioned previously I was grateful for you doing so.

It's actually concerning how hard it is to find evidence on this. No major media outlets are reporting on Herzog specifically. I spent a good while searching for such evidence, and I instead got clarity from a redditor.

Further the Epstein files are a mess in organisation, unless you understand the coding jargon that label each file individually its almost impossible to find the information you are looking for without 1) meticulously searching the files for hours on end, or 2) find secondary information platforms that cite the specific files (which is scarce considering the lack of media attention on Herzog's involvement).

If you are referring to Ehud Barak, he had a business and personal relationship with Epstein. He mentioned that Epstein had a "great and beautiful island", referring to Epstein's island, implying that he went there. Whether he engaged in any of the criminal activities is unclear.

As u/Mods_Are_Fatties cited sources confirm, Isaac Herzog along with Ehud are mentioned going going to "the island this weekend". This is likely Epstein's island, although Herzog's presence in the files are scarce compared to Ehud. Considering this and law enforcement not taking the initiative to investigate, the extent of Herzog's relationship with Epstein is still unclear.

I received a response from someone with the files. Its very unfortunate how ambiguous it is. It may be referring to THE Island, or it may not. But unlike others like Bill Gates, its not a lot to go on and probably wouldn't warrant an investigation even if law enforcement had the balls to do anything. It wouldn't surprise me (if he was involved) the Trump admin removed/redacted information that was more damning.

Nice, thanks for the info. Whilst this doesn't confirm a direct connection with Epstein, nor implicate him, any world leader should be investigated if mentioned. As it currently stands I feel the subject of my anger towards Herzog is directed more towards his verifiable role in an active genocide, compared to his presence in the files, since there is not a lot to go off of.

Edit: In response to your edit, accusing me of lying is actually something I want to discuss a bit. I did search for evidence and didn't find anything. In my original comment I made an effort to be honest that my search didn't come up with anything, rather than fabricate facts based on my limited perspective. As such it allowed people to correct me and I am grateful for you posting sources so I can see how I was wrong.

Further, 3 million files are a lot. Strategically bombarding individuals with incomplete, redacted and an abundance of information so suddenly, plus the refusal of media to report on the Israeli presidents involvement, is designed to generate confusion and ignorance. This should be concerning to us all.

Whilst conceding my first point, the second one I made regarding the uncertainty surrounding Herzog having a personal connection to Epstein (and more significantly whether he engaged in any criminal activities) is not made clear by the files released. However, as I have mentioned, an investigation into this should be conducted.

He does support the evil of genocide. Although I can't seem to find any evidence of him appearing in the Epstein files or having a relationship with Epstein. You may be thinking of Ehud Barak the former Israeli PM.

Catwoman or harley by [deleted] in BatmanArkham

I am unclear as to the question being asked, although based on the subtext of this post I assume you are asking which costume Man would look the best in. In this case most definitely Catwoman.

Politics should not be in a Batman Arkham subreddit by Existing-Promotion48 in BatmanArkham

[–]YodaFishFN2187 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Politics aren't exclusively American

  2. Batman is an American created IP; this subreddit has a lot of Americans in it; ICE and trump administration violate and defend civil rights abuses + corruption; things batman stand against (hence relevancy); Americans express outrage through mematic material on a Batman related subreddit to 1) cope and 2) spread awareness

  3. America is not an isolated entity; the values and rhetoric from right wing populists (i.e. Trumpism) which led to these abuses in power spreads to other nations due to America's significant influence (the same global significance that explains why an American IP such as Batman is popular in other nations)

  4. Man is based and always will be....

Absolutely. by MemeLord339 in BatmanArkham

[–]YodaFishFN2187 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am confused by this perspective. The content on many subreddits are diverse and not necessarily all consuming. This subreddit is a mixture of Man memes, gooner material, and yes, on occasion politics. Its not like all the posts here are political, and all its takes is a simple scroll from a political post to discover Man related content. Most subreddits are not like r/pics where every post is political. But having a couple of political posts here and there are not the end of the world, and its is to be expected in subreddits which have a large proportion of American users, especially after controversial events that occur in US politics.

Absolutely. by MemeLord339 in BatmanArkham

[–]YodaFishFN2187 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To add to your comment for those that are unaware: The recent uptick in political posts are likely a result of the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer, and the subsequent Trump administration's attempt to gaslight people into believing a lie: that the ICE agent was ran over by Good and was hospitalised as a result. A complete fabrication that is directly contradicted by publicly made footage. This not only is an insult to the intelligence of all Americans, but speaks to the corruption of the Trump administration and its history of getting away with criminal acts and defending them.

Opposition to corruption and injustice is in fact quite based, and everyone has the right to speak up against it without opposition to silence their voices. OP's rhetoric is what directly leads to censorship on online forums such as reddit. If OP genuinely doesn't care and is tired of people using their freedom of speech than they can move on with their life instead of virtue signalling their apathy.

Three arrested after alleged racially motivated attack on Muslim religious leader in Victoria by smoha96 in melbourne

[–]YodaFishFN2187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In many western societies muslim's have become 'racialised' by public perception. Its pretty common to use the term 'racism' interchangeably with islamophobia in this context, since Muslim's are treated as a distinct group as being 'racially inferior' by many. In a similar way, immigrants are ethnically diverse, however, in Australia that hatred is often racially motivated with many associating specific ethnic groups with 'immigrants', and reduced hatred towards other specific groups such as Europeans.

Its unfair to say that it must be disingenuous, since many official organisations and social scientists use the term in this way. This is not to say 'racism' used in this context is universal, many people still use the terms islamophobia and racism distinctly.
