Euroids sure are excited for the Burgerreich

Yup I still sympathize with the people of Ukraine but the pro-Ukraine movement is largely just rabid dogs of the American Empire.

😭

Being short is better than overstaying your welcome. I love stealth games which is why I picked it up

Fromsoft games are all still great, Total War Warhammer 3 is great, Sons of the Forst is great

Dragon Age fell off hard with 2 for me. WoW on official Blizz servers and modern WoW in general suck ass.

This is definitely biased in favor of old games. You have to respect your elders my9games.com

Sitting in my library unplayed, going to have to try it.

Not at all, it's fascinating to me. I've always found propaganda interesting.

In the West we get tried by a jury of our peers and we get tried under civil law.

The Flag of liberalism. A brunch spread with the words "I don't care about human rights violations as long as a Democrat does it"

Blue no matter who loves Trump

At times they converted Caananites or other members of other communities, which is how beta Israel came to exist. But never like xtians. Usually conversion to Judaism comes with marriage or is a very personal issue.

The main politics for the Palestinians was against the English because they said they were going to create a Jewish state in Palestine. Zionists were supportive of the British until they made some concessions to the Arabs in 39 and eventually led an insurgency against them.

Jews have proselytized at times. But for most of the history of Judaism they have not. But that's my point. It's all about the covenant. People outside the covenant aren't sinful for being outside it. Judaism teaches that non-Jews are made in the image of the creator

Oh you watched and read about it huh? Our media is so well known for its even handed coverage of our cold war enemies. "Less lethal" rounds do a hell of a lot more damage than rocks do

Incorrect. Palestinians wanted to continue sharing the land with Jews. It was Zionists who insisted on partition

It's not quite so simple. It's more about your covenant with God. Some people take it to intolerant extremes, especially when it comes to proselytizing.

It's not. It's just an objective sociological phenomenon even if it does get dressed up with mysticism by some people. Christians and Muslims hold a special place for martyrs partly out of theology. But also because it's a way to mourn the dead. Martyrs live forever in memory and in prayers.

Blue No Matter Who out here saying that the reason why Palestinians live in ghettos that are now being burned down is because they threw stones back at the soldiers killing them

I disagree.

In my opinion yes

Yes I have

I'm an atheist but martyrdom is a real thing in both secular and religious contexts. Dying for a cause demonstrates conviction.

Early Christianity was pretty chill. They lived in communes and were fairly ascetic. Xtians have always sort of figured that the end times are close. But back then it was less about trying to force it to happen and more about being pious so you would be called to the side of Christ

It's a bill sponsored by Brian Mast. Please don't do this

That's an insane thing to say. Do you have any idea how many Palestinian leaders have become martyrs or collaborators?

How did they work around it again? Oh right, with violence. They killed 142 Palestinians and implemented a policy of deliberate bone-breaking against children. But to you that's not a "real problem" because it's happening to Palestinians and not Israelis.

I think Rome made Christianity ruthless more than Christianity made Rome merciful. The crisis of the Third century had passed by the time Christianity was adopted and further turmoil wasn't too far down the road.

As a reminder, the reasoning is that our emperor had a feeling. But Democrats love the empire so they will support the emperor.

I'm saying they created the environment where those things happen with constant levels of far greater violence. There was not one single Israeli fatality for the entirety of the first year of the First intifada. It was primarily being fought with work stoppages, then they picked up stones.
