  • For those saying they didn’t know about this, it’s because they never actually released anything. They got shut down unexpectedly before they finished any projects. Allegedly there are still some in-development games based on Netflix properties that will still be released on their gaming service, and the service itself will stay up. It’s just the studio itself that was shut down.

    No, it’s pretty uncontroversial that imperialism was one of the goals of Israel as a project, even from its founding.

    Edit: This is getting downvoted a bit so let me evidence this.

    After WW1 the League of Nations formalized British control over Palestine. This mandate facilitated Jewish immigration and settlement, which furthered Britain’s interests in the area and improved their relations with Jewish communities. The establishment of Israel led to significant displacement and conflict for the Palestinian Arab population, which was largely ignored by Western powers at the time.

    In other words, Britain exerted their power over a foreign nation through expansionism, which is the literal dictionary definition of imperialism.

    So yes, imperialism unquestionably played a role in the establishment of Israel. Whether that was a convenient by-product or a driving motivator is a matter of perspective, but it’s foolish to say it didn’t play a part.









  • Stochastic terrorism needs to have more severe criminal penalties for career politicians specifically. Right-wing figureheads have been getting away with this shit for too long.

    We’re now penalizing the parents of school shooters, so if we find out that someone who threatens to bomb a school is a super fan of X person, then X person should face some sort of penalty if they continually put out deliberate lies about said school. We did a version of this with Alex Jones already, just follow through with that logic honestly.



  • No, they just put out social messaging that tries to convince people they are. “I love women and minorities” type shit that’s paper-thin. If you look at their policies, business models, and campaign donations, it paints a very different story.

    Most companies are cutthroat free-market capitalists (and therefore right-wing by definition), because that’s what makes money and they have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

    No company will support regulations on its industry, which is what “the left” broadly wants to do.
