Not to defend or advocate for American tradcaths, but I get the impression they aren't exactly fans of people like Elon anyway. Elon's used IVF a ton and he isn't really associated with any of the specific figures that tradcaths respect. If anything, there might be more bog-standard right wing boomer American Catholics who support Elon than tradcaths.

    I wonder if I'm out of tune with Hexbear for thinking Dark is as good of a show as I do. I think, to some extent, one may describe it as Nolanslop or complexityslop, but it's a wonderful thing. I don't believe it suffers from filler episodes, unnecessary plotlines that go nowhere, or many of the other issues that plague most shows. At worst, there's a slight lull in the pacing in the first half of the third season, and the first season takes a bit to get going.

    I agree though that the best shows don't really hold a candle to something like Mulholland Drive or In The Mood For Love. It's just harder to keep quality up consistently for a longer work.

    Well yeah but he was sorry after he was cursed, at least he sounds sorry to me (Gen. 4, 13-14):

    Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! Today you have driven me away from the soil, and I shall be hidden from your face; I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth, and anyone who meets me may kill me.”

    I know he repented or whatever but killing your brother because he made a better offering than you when you KNOW you're under the watch of all-knowing God gotta be one of the least intelligent decisions off all time. You think God is gonna be happy with you? You're going to the GULAG man!

    What's up with Z's and ç's in this 17th century Spanish text? (hexbear.net)
     

    Was just randomly looking at https://www.cervantesvirtual.com/obra-visor/oraculo-manual-y-arte-de-prudencia--0/html/fedb3724-82b1-11df-acc7-002185ce6064_2.html and was caught off guard by the use of the letter ç to represent the sound of z. Also noticed a few words spelled with an i instead of y like how it says "rei" instead of "rey."

    Drawing a parallel between Syria and Iran, lib writes "I know a Syrian family who fled the war. [...] the Assad regime was toppled. [...] it's hard to describe how happy I felt for all of them." (hexbear.net)

    Hear, hear.

    Every authoritarian government has its supporters, without they would never survive.

    And that's the thing: those people are absolutely maddening to argue with. In Gaza, the war crimes were (and still are being) live streamed, and the question was how is there still any doubt. Some of those same people see videos of the protests and the people identifying bodies in makeshift morgues and somehow argue their way around it.

    I hope the protesters are successful. I know a Syrian family who fled the war. I coincidentally met some of them on their shift the day the Assad regime was toppled. One of them said, "we can breathe now". Meanwhile in the middle of the city the people were celebrating. It's hard to describe how happy I felt for all of them.

    When you're kinda worried what the state of your country is gonna be like after your pro-democracy protests topple the regime and your homie says, "Hey, look at how great the Syrians have it!"

    More than 2 years into the genocide and there's still people on broader Lemmy who openly condemn Palestinian resistance (CW: SV, genocide apologia) (sh.itjust.works)
     

    Came across this because of the other thread @LemmySlopSkimmer@hexbear.net posted. This user is the lowest Nazi garbage, yet claims to be a leftist with good intentions.

    What is the “right” way for Palestinians to resist Israel? How should they fight back? Please, paint a picture for me in a way that shows how they can effectively stop Israel from killing more people, and stealing ever more land, until the Palestinians have been completely wiped out.

    Response from goat cw extreme Zionism and imperialism apologia, SV

    don’tremoved, don’t carry out terrorism on innocent civilians

    The right way was using the internet and global attention, which Palestine was doing, raising awareness of how they are suffering and gaining sympathy for it. They should’ve adopted more Western ideals, or maybe liberalism, encourage foreigners to come and stay. The West Bank and Gaza near Rafah were also doing decently well in terms of growth, labelling itself as a trendy tourist destination.

    Unfortunately, Hamas decided thatremoved women and killing innocent civilians was a better method of resistance, even going so far as to film themselves carrying out the massacre and taking hostages – Which incurred the Israeli military and ended up with Gaza being turned to rubble. Sure, people are much more aware of Palestine now, but only the most radical of “progressives” think Israel can be defeated and that Palestine can do no wrong. These people are vocal minorities and hold no power.

    The whole relationship between Israel and the US isn’t as buddy-buddy as people think it is. Israel previously attacked US forces and regularly threatens US personnel. No clue what goes on behind the scenes, but clearly Israel has something major on the US, or the US sees Israel as a base for Middle-East operations and considers the chaos that comes with it as a necessary sacrifice. Or maybe it’s both, or maybe it’s neither.

    No he didn't! very-smart read up and agitate.

    AmeriKKKa has kidnapped a democratically elected leader, and most nation states (even left wing LatAm governments) are too afraid to call him what he is. Don't give the imperialists an inch.
