While knowing the motive behind the series erases any interest I might have in it, honestly I'm fine if they want to promote a narrative of "revenge is okay no matter what" or "pre-emptive self defense." It won't work out the way the director, or the west in general, think it does though. The majority of the world has seen who is real offender, the one who has brutally massacred the other from the start and constantly rejected and betrayed peace. The majority of humanity understands on some level what imperialism and colonialism feels like and has been and remains victim to it. Even across the west many are thoroughly disgusted. People know which side actually starves and slaughters babies and the vulnerable, which side actually acts like imperialist barbarians.

Settlers can play these games all they want- and they inevitably will- but it won't end well for them. And I can't claim I'd shed a tear when it happens, I'd have compassion and work towards minimizing or preventing harm to (actual) innocents always, sure, but this is what they will have brought on themselves if and when the tables turn.

If they had sense they'd stick to the dehumanization and denial narratives, IMO... though even then the hypocrisy and blood libel is blatant, anything else is simply teaching the rest of the world just how incompatible their mentality is with coexistence and how far humanity at large will have to go to wholly disarm and de-fang the imperialists in turn.

Wonderful :o another reason to love the panda/bear cat, indeed. lea-happy Thanks! Won't have any prob remembering this I suspect (the panda fascination has simmered down or been joined by other fascinations, but the love and respect remains and is eternal)

As the one who is pushing the idea- on one hand, pretty much che-laugh

Though on the other hand, it's simply because the political spaces (which would still exist and which would be ideally part of the vetting process/exist as part of a somewhat-framework) will naturally be stomped on when trying to congregate in certain platforms, and also because constantly being in the environment in- well particularly Hexbear perhaps, I feel the Grad is somehow more conversational despite the fact we're mostly effortposting- but uh, is also frankly very unhealthy, probably?

Their kid seems to have some minimum of human decency if nothing else. Does she deserve special attention for being a billionaire's kid? No, not really. But standing up against genocide certainly is a good take regardless of who it's coming from..

Honestly, while I wish I didn't live in it and hate the human toll, I'm fine with the western "garden" financializing itself into obsolescence and worse while the rest of humanity marches towards a brighter future. Whatever material gain occurs in the west, until the imperialist world system of the west dies off completely, will first be used to harm the rest of the world 1000x over before it is used for good, anyways.

I would have assumed they meant more of a "demiurge," but considering they placed Gnostics in their own category that doesn't sound right.

If they'll keep coming either way, which candidate do you want?

Honest answer to your likely dishonest question- if your country has nothing to offer the world but genocide, terrorism, and destruction (by the looks of it, it doesn't) then I want whichever candidate will destroy your abominable, monstrous regime (and clearly it is yours, whatever degree you agree with it or not, you support it) in as quick and quarantined a fashion as possible.

Your country (mine as well, as a vassal of yours) is currently engaging in full-scale industrial genocide and pushing for WW3 on multiple fronts. Did you think that sticking a pride flag on your genocide, propping up a black (slaver) figurehead to be the face of it, or promising table scraps (lmao, it's not like anyone even expects those- but those who do are both evil and gullible) to the peasants would make it any better? Frankly as a poor, queer POC it doesn't, it fills me with disgust and makes me want to puke (much as I imagine anti-Zionist Jews feel seeing their religion used to perpetuate yet another holocaust on their Palestinian cousins).

Many totally messed up/dysfunctional people know how to keep a good face on for the public, and/or even have a particular preoccupation with doing so. My family, growing up as a kid, definitely was one such example- and eventually facades tend to break, but it can take years. Hopefully this isn't one such case, but you never know.
