There are serious concerns regarding potential genocide, and Netanyahu has always been a problematic, right-wing leader that flirts with authoritarianism. I would agree with you on that front, and it’s perfectly fine to draw parallels to other authoritarian regimes.

However, it shouldn’t take much to realize to that accusing a Jewish nation of being actual Nazis is not only insensitive, it’s antisemitic.

We can criticize Israel for very real issues. There is absolutely no reason to invent new ones.

Is it brainwashing and indifference, though? Could also be fear of a hostile government. Russia isn’t exactly known for its fair treatment of protesters, dissidents, and activists.

I think this is a cultural difference. In the US it’s not uncommon for common sense health regulation to get ignored - such as the amount of sugar in soda - because people cause an uproar about freedoms being taken away.

But if you say it’s about the health of sweet, innocent children… well then suddenly it’s a lot more palatable for the public.

So here in the US, you can want everyone to stop smoking, but make the case that it is for the benefit of children in order to help achieve that goal.

It’s ok to get information from places like X/Twitter or Reddit. It’s even fine to have an account. But it’s better to post your OWN material to platforms that best align with your sensibilities.

Not saying it’s a lie, but sourcing from NYPost is automatically a huge red flag.

I’ll put more stock in this when it’s reported by reputable outlets.

That’s exactly what it was. They just lifted their favorite parts from multiple different iterations of the story. The original movie and the original TV show, mainly. But those two don’t even canonically fit together.

It was a jumbled mess and it sucked. The original anime, its sequel, and the original TV show are all fantastic, however.

Bushwick. For one, I’m a huge Aesop Rock fan. For two, I thought it was a fun little ‘what if’ flick.
