Nazis deserve to be shot and killed

In order to use Netflix, they have to choose what show they want to watch. People don't like doing what they want. Making decisions about what they want is hard. People want to be told what to like, how to think, and how to live.

Hungary attempted to negotiate a christmas ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The ceasefire would end up wasting Ukraine's last chance to win the war with Biden's support. After Christmas, Trump becomes president and cuts support to Ukraine. Hungary's ceasefire would have resulted in Ukraine losing their best chance and many dead civilians. Zelenskyy is here explaining his decision to reject the ceasefire without pointing fingers at anyone in particular.

That reminds drag of Halo, though significantly more silly.

In Halo, the Covenant are on an interstellar crusade for holy artifacts left behind by the Forerunners. When they discovered the planet Harvest, inhabited by humans, they saw tons of artifacts on their scanners. So naturally, they landed on the planet and started blasting the humans to steal the artifacts. But the more humans they killed, the more artifacts disappeared from their monitors. The humans must be destroying the artifacts out of petty spite! What heresy!

The Prophet of Truth is curious about what kind of artifacts the humans have, so he goes to talk to an ancient Forerunner AI they have in storage, Mendicant Bias. Truth shows Bias the symbol that they keep seeing on human worlds. Bias says "You fool, you've got it upside down. Turn it around, see? It says Reclaimer. It means a person the Forerunners have chosen to inherit their empire. You've just been killing these humans? No wonder the reclaimers keep disappearing, you're the one who's doing it!"

So Truth realises that he's been ordering his troops to kill what should rightfully be considered demigods by his religion, and who he should be worshipping. And he realises that if he reveals this information to the people, he and the other Prophets will lose all their political power since there are Actual Fucking Gods walking around. So naturally, Truth declares a Holy Genocide against humanity so that nobody will ever figure out that he's guilty of Deicide and that their entire religious political structure is a lie.

True prophecies always eventually settle into a stable timeloop where the prophecy doesn't change the outcome. If the prophecy can change the outcome, then it does, and that changes the prophecy, and the process repeats until it falls into a stable shape.

Therefore, in most cases such a prophecy cannot fall into the hands of someone who would try jumping off the Empire State - unless they're destined to be miraculously saved. This boy was only able to hear the prophecy because he's the kind of guy whose self destructive experiments won't actually kill him. If he were capable of suicidal choices, he wouldn't have heard that prophecy.

However, a complicating factor which invalidates what drag says can interfere: sometimes the stable timeloop stretches across two timelines. For example, in one timeline you hear you're destined for old age, and you kill yourself trying something dumb. In the other timeline, you hear that you're destined to kill yourself doing something dumb, so you decide to be careful and end up living to old age. Each timeline gives rise to the other. Each prophecy applies to the other timeline, invalidates itself, and makes the other prophecy true. However, a skilled oracle can tell when their prophecies are multi-timeline and will therefore always give single timeline prophecies.

So if you hear a prophecy that makes you want to go do dumb suicidal stuff, and you're the kind of person who would actually do it, it means your oracle is an amateur and you shouldn't trust them.

Of course, by listening to this advice, you've become someone who hopefully won't trust amateur oracles, which means you can't tell if your oracle is good anymore.

More than half of Gaza is children. You can't expect children who are being killed with bombs to engage in nuanced political discourse. Stop the bombings, build schools and hospitals and houses. End the poverty and the oppression. Then see how many hate Jews. Drag thinks it will be much less when people aren't war criming them in the name of Judaism.

Israel controls the conditions in Gaza. And Israel is creating the conditions for hate on purpose, because Israel wants a war.

Cops are just nosy. No justification. They don't like people who look weird. That's how they're trained to think.

Yes, it's Italian for little boy. Italians started calling men little boys to insult their intelligence. Immigrants brought the slang to America. And Americans are so misogynist, they started using the word to call women stupid, and did it so often they forgot that the word could even apply to men and had to invent a special male version, himbo.
