Weren't you the one who claimed that Palestinian protesters were "targeting Jews in LA", and it turns out it was a protest against the head of AIPAC?

I shared a video that was on reddit without knowing the context. I think that was the one protesters were targeting that guy at his home with his family there on a holiday right? Do you think that was a successful protest?

"Don't like being genocided? Like living? Better just gtfo, mate. It is what it is," is not a take anyone should have. Especially not at this point.

It's not a take. It's a reality for millions of Ukranians. However, it should be an option for Palestinians, or would you rather them die?

We can all circle jerk over what we wish would happen, but what's the point?

Where are are they supposed to go? No country is taking them in and why should they be kicked from THEIR land?

They shouldn't be kicked from their land. Israel shouldn't have been attacked either. But we live in an imperfect world with terrible leaders and terrorist organizations. It sucks that no country is willing to take on the refugees. But it is what it is.

The user I was originally replying to was only asking why they would want to leave their own country, and my response was the same reason why the Ukranians are evacuating. People like living.

Whatever man, I've seen your posts and here you are asking "why can't they just leave like the Ukrainians?" who are being invaded by the Russian army in an effort to wipe out their people and seize control of their nation.

Keep making justifications, though. It's a great look on you.

You misunderstood what I was saying there my guy. I was questioning what the point was of asking why the palestinians would want to leave their own country in the middle of a war. It didn't make sense as evacuation during conflict is common. Like, to stay alive should be a good enough answer right?

Kradek posted...

At least they are tacitly admitting that the IDF are invaders and hurting the populace in a comparable way to the Russian army. They probably didn't intentionally mean to be so honest, but hey, they're the ones who want to use the comparison.

Y'all love putting words in my mouth. Never once did I say Netanyahu is doing the right thing. Always said the opposite. I also know Hamas has to be rid of and the situation is way more complicated than internet keyboard warriors want to admit. Saying that seems to make me an extremist genocide lover specifically only on this board but ok.

Why would they leave their own country?

Why would the Ukranian women and children leave Ukraine? Like what kind of point are you trying to make?

Being slow to modernize the boards and FAQS?

Bad policy decisions on how to run the boards by CJayC and SBAllen?

Not growing the brand?

All of the above?

Being slow to modernize would suggest it has modernized. It hasn't. Instead, we got more spammy ads from new owners.

I dont think they ever wanted to care so much about scaling the message boards.

But nowadays, modern games have less times you feel blocked by something you need to look up a guide for. And if you are stuck on something, there's likely a hundred youtube videos specifically about the issue you have no matter how niche it may be. If not, reddit exists.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of the most enjoyable RPG games in recent years. Combat is amazing, variety and depth of Vocations is impressive and boss battles are breathtaking. That being said, it suffers from some technical and structural issues. Story is shallow, side quests are somewhat underwhelming and frame rate drop is frequent. Nevertheless, Dragon's Dogma 2 is a must play for die hard fans of classic RPGs.

That sounds like a 6/10 lol. I'm sure it's a great game but reviewers seem to either give a 9 or a 10 or like a 3 if it's clearly a shit game.

Isreal reaction is overreach and denial of their actions, but how many have studied the middle east to know that region intimately. I can't say that I studied it for long. That region has never known peace and the number of wars has been like that for centuries. That area never developed beyond always fighting. The brief history that I know.

Long ago it held the most advanced societies, or so i thought. Progress is math, science, etc. Wasn't perfect by any means and definitely still had human rights issues obviously, but where in the world didn't back then by today's standards.

Is this a humble novice alt?

It's very telling all the 261 users are turning a blind eye or making apologetics for civilian casualties

You are the one here with 134 karma and you're calling me an alt? Funny.

261 always leaned left and also had crazy alt-right trolls that got modded constantly. It was a thing that happened multiple times a day with an alt-right troll posting a bait topic and it'd get 50 users to post in depth responses why they are wrong.

If 10 users in CE post topics saying the earth is flat but 500 users say they are wrong with proof, but these 10 users are obnoxious as hell, would you say CE is a flat earther hangout?

Aloc posted...

It was a center right hangout.

ok so you were never there, got it.

Aloc posted...

That's why I said 261 is at its core right wing. And so are tons of "liberals" who complain endlessly about the left.

Were you ever on 261? It was full of left-wing stuff. I posted a lot about universal healthcare and the board polls were always heavily in favor of Bernie, AOC, etc.

There were the usual trolls like INTERWEB_USER or whatever his name was but it was not at all a right-wing hangout.

Nobody in the IDF is a hero. Finally rescuing a couple people doesn't change that

Feel free to tell that to the rescued hostages and their families.

Kradek posted...

Good job that they finally did their job competently without murdering their own people like last time, but once again this is literally just them doing their job.

'Firefighter saves a family that nearly got burnt alive!'
Internet guy: 'it is literally just their job'

I like how you completely ignore the hostages killed by IDF gunships and snipers.

I am simply proud of IDF for killing terrorists and saving those hostages in a very intense gunfight. Anyone who isn't a terrorist sympathizer would be proud of these heroes as well.

https://www.reddit.com/r/2ndYomKippurWar/comments/1aq0ycy/idf_fighters_rescue_the_abductees_amid_heavy_fire/

To save a few hostages, IDF had to kill 49 terrorists.

Makes me wonder how many countries out there wouldn't dare send their best soldiers to save a few civilians from a hive of terrorists. Israelis are strong.

System of a down is one of my most played bands. I had no idea they have any haters.

No. Looks cool, but my quest 2 is perfectly good enough and cost 1/10 of the price (and does the porn).

so they defined the differences between liberals and conservatives basically?
