So they can then bring their lovely dystopia tech to the US. CHUDS have long claimed "indoctronation" and "radicalism" taught in the classrooms here.

There is no US Constitution in the Gaza prison. No freedom of speech. Then they deploy it under our noses here citing the tech is "proven" to justify their purge of educators who have wrongthink.

    If you haven't please watch Advent Children, or at least the intro summary, and the TFS Mechanabridged parody. Brush up on Crisis Core.

    (You'll get spoilers a bit, but with the knowledge I think you can appreciate what they are trying to do rather than WTF is this?. There's still that. Devs will break the 4th wall at times if you pay attention.)

    Things hit different when they happen. Like leo-point and seen-this-one.

    I loved it. The series is very self aware. Understand it's the 2nd act of a 3 act story. Rebirth goes pretty heavy into lifestream theory. FF7 in general goes into a lot of deep topics. Rebirh leans very much into theory crafting. Shinra, Rufus, and the Turks are still there. You're going to learn to hate dommy mommy Scarlet.

    Chadley is annoying - on purpose, the game is very aware of it. I think he's kind of innocent and charming. Very clearly neurodiverse. The story does take it's time, but the pacing is ok. These are master story tellers and they play with emotions. Plus HOJO is a creep that makes you want to kill him even more.

    The emotional ride is very much worth it. From the serious to campy 1silliness, to the frustration, and sadnesss. Going through the experience of the game is part of the story in itself. It is a beautiful work of art, but that's my bias ass opinion. I have been deeply in love with this game, characters, and story for 30 years. The game will make you feel. It isn't something mindless.

    There will be questions in Rebirth whose answers will come in Revelations. So know you are going to have a bit of a cliffhanger ending.

    White Stork was a Nazi Propaganda program aimed at gaining support from The Boers in South Africa.

    In 1942, Heinrich Himmler sought to use storks to carry Nazi propaganda leaflets so as to win support from the Boers in South Africa. The idea for this "Storchbein-Propaganda" plan was a secret that was transmitted by Walter Schellenberg to be examined by the German ornithologist Ernst Schüz at the Rossiten bird observatory, who pointed out that the probability of finding marked storks in Africa was less than one percent, requiring 1000 birds to transmit 10 leaflets successfully. The plan was then dropped.

    In Nazi educational propaganda it was also referenced storks stay with storks

    I wonder if Tammy is bribed by defense contractors who don't want their cash cow war to end?

    One of the largest defense contractors in the nation donated to nearly 150 members of Congress as they debated Ukraine military aid

    Of Lockheed Martin's PAC's 147 donations to the campaigns of federal legislators, five went to members of the Senate's Armed Services Committee: Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, and Mark Kelly of Arizona.

    I was just thinking how Jenova has a lot in common with IT. Calamity that came from the skies. Eater of Worlds.

    They say she is a monster.

    That she can peer inside you - into the very depths of your soul. That she become those you hate. Those you fear. Those you love. And they call her...Jenova.
