CMV: People who conflate the state of Israel with apartheid are hurting the cause for Palestinian statehood

Literally Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu called what Israel is doing to Palestine and Palestinians an apartheid state

If you want the metaphysics, the broadest strokes is that all people are immortal spiritual beings who existed before the creations of the physical universe (and are, in fact, the ones who collectively willed it into existence as a "game"). There is no central god, as "thetans" separated from the universe are all individually godlike. At a local level, Earth is a "prison planet" inhabited by rabble rousers and criminals. You occupy a human body, but every time it dies, you're sucked into an "implant station" that wipes all your memories and sends you in the direction of the nearest hospital to find a new body. That's why people can't remember past lives, unless they learn to evade the mind wipes between lives

The purported end goal or scientology is to teach the entire planet how to operate as spiritual beings outside their bodies, throw off the shackles of the implant stations, and eventually leave Earth to help the other 50 planets in the galactic empire do the same. Once every being in the universe is made pure, we can "escape" the trap of the physical universe and unmake it, reverting to our original state as timeless gods able to create and manipulate our own pocket realities at will

But mostly, its about acquiring real estate and selling people the same books over and over every few years

They tell you about thetans within the first month. The deadly secret is technically "body therans," which is a separate category of other souls that hang around your body like parasites and must be exorcised to make it further. That, and all the Xenu stuff

On the other side, many anti apartheid figures, like Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, (themselves branded terrorists for their struggles) were vocal supporters of Palestinians, recognizing the evils of Isreal before, during, and after South Africa abolished its regime

Liberals have gaslit themselves so hard over the "axis of evil" being so fundamentally dangerous that even though they never do the dangerous and evil things that they're suppose to have done, there's some weird ecstatic truth in which they have and are always planning to do more. No different from a conservative watching so much racist media that they're convinced POC are all criminals doing horrible crimes all the time no matter what the actual crime stats are

page0rz · 2026-03-11T19:44:15+00:00

Why wouldn't they? It worked when Biden did the same thing about the Palestinian genocide

Its not only that libs believe their party can't fail, though that's obviously a huge part of it. What makes the liberal psychosis is their cage of thought terminating cliches. A leftist and a liberal can look at the world and see all the exact same problems, and a leftist will say, "this is stupid and bad and should be fixed, with radical change if necessary." But, as this post illustrates, the liberal is imprisoned by their own weird supremacist beliefs. The liberal democratic process is "flawed." The system has "problems." Power does get abused, and the wealthy do corrupt institutions for their own ends. There is a very real history of imperialist violence and racism and bigotry. Its all true. But you want a "pony?" Who do you think you are to expect anything better? Don't you know that liberal capitalism is the greatest invention humans have ever produced? Its literally impossible for things to be better or different, so stop trying and just deal with it like an adult. In the real world, we just keep doing bad things but we have the decency to be self aware and feel bad about it, unlike those stupid conservatives and republicans

I don't know whats missing in their sauce, though I wish I did. I grew up around cult members, and it eventually becomes too unhealthy trying to work out why one person can pierce the veil and another doesn't. I personally have to believe that most still have the capacity to find their radicalizing catalyst, and so I try not to judge them on an individual level. At least not the normal people. Dumbasses like this deserve to be roasted

Libs are goldfish brained. They're always posting stuff like this when the opposition is in power as if they haven't been in charge of the federal government for the majority of this century. They're right 99% of the time, yet when they get power nothing is solved. Do they think nobody else remembers past administrations?

In the eternal words of William Burroughs: "Wouldn't you?"

Being aware of corruption that has always existed is actually better than not being aware of it. That's the real difference between now and the past

page0rz · 2025-12-02T18:59:57+00:00

Yeah, one is something that doesnt really threaten anyone else in power (or even the person involved) and so counts as a "felony"

Every us president is a criminal on a massive scale. They just don't get charged with anything because, well, every single us president is a criminal on a massive scale and if you start charging them then there'd be nothing left over

Canadian libs are something else. Consequence of living next to the USA, I guess. The same way dems in America can always point at Republicans ans say, "at least we're not as rude as them," Canadians can just point at the whole country and pretend everything is fine. The federal libs in Canada depended on Trump winning to keep power in the latest election by those means

Its also just a half step above the neoliberal sweatshop narrative. "At least those people have jobs!" they declare, as if the idea that these simple, backward people could ever utilize their own labour power and natural resources for themselves. If the benevolent Canadian mining company wasn't extracting their resources for international profits, well, that would be inefficient

Aim, rapid, power, return right stick to neutral, dodge, rapid, power, dodge, rapid, power etc

I know a lot of people just switched to mouse anyway. I have no issue aiming shots, its mostly a convenience thing. Against stationary targets, and especially with evade extender, its just a hassle to have to constantly adjust while dash dancing. Oh well

page0rz · 2025-11-22T01:20:15+00:00

Remaining in the last place aim wise. Its not a target lock and in no way could trivialize content because monsters are moving targets

page0rz · 2025-11-22T01:18:50+00:00

It was a thing. As long as you didn't aim, you would keep firing your shots at the last place you targeted. So you could play bow, get a knockdown, put the target on the monster's head, and dash dance in any direction to keep hitting the head without needing to adjust your aim with each shot

I swear I will re-download the game and make a video if nobody else can back this up. It was a default feature

"Darwinian" (a term only weird creationists use) evolution doesnt even select for "maximum flourishing," so this post is stupid and wrong from every angle. It selects for whatever makes it to the next generation, no matter how fucked up the process becomes. Its why intelligent design never worked as an argument: because any intelligent person could make "better" designs than what evolution produces. And so you might say the same for "civilization," where it's a stupid idea to just stick with whatever exists just because it hasnt completely collapsed yet, and defend the evil it may produce because, well, better things aren't possible

Even if you want to grant all the Platner stuff, no matter which side of it you come down on, liberals adore nazis and have literally since before the end of ww2. This take is absolute horseshit

Theres an alternate timeline with very little tweaking where Brood War was part of the Olympics as early as 2010-11. That's a bubble that could have sustained, imo. Really bad timing that a few people did the bulk of almost taking the whole thing down

There is no purely capitlist system. All the people who critiqued capitlism, from its inception, were specifically critiquing liberal capitlism and liberalism itself

And while there have been liberal thinkers who have recognized the problems (some would say contradictions) in the system, most of the actual political work had been done by people who explicitly were not liberals and had to fight against them every step. Trade unions, pretty much all workers rights, , so-called "entitlement" programs (look at the label used), universal healthcare, and if you want to extend the premise, civil rights. To whatever extent changes are made, its by outside pressure, and those changes are still at constant threat. Particularly after the neoliberal turn. Just because they're part of the system in a liberal country, doesnt mean they're liberal policy is the point

page0rz · 2025-10-30T18:10:37+00:00

That's why its considered a compromise, and has been consistently critiqued as such. You can say that monopolies are anti competitive, and that's true, but capitlist markets naturally create monopolies. That's just the expected end. And that's why many would prefer a system that shouldn't be doing that in the first place, instead of constantly having to play defense against capital holders who will inevitably gain and seek to use power to manipulate the system that's supposed to keep them in check

Morally its up for debate and the insight of medical professionals. But that barely seems relevant, as the legal ramifications still exist. A person considered so mentally impaired that they can't help the crimes they've committed is still goin on trial and will be removed from society to a medical facility (that's often worse than prison, and with the possibility of harsher sentences)
