  • It’s just a very smart way to spread propaganda by using a real statistic out of context.

    Of course “70% of the victims are either children or women” sounds horrible - until you realize that a majority of the population there in underage (and therefore children) and that Hama’s is actively using underage children as soldiers - and if you look at the difference between the age structure and the casualties adult males are more likely to be victims than the other groups which are actually underrepresented.




  • I wonder what kind of securities Taiwan needs in order to bargain with china about it.

    Joining NATO, being able to be officially recognised as a sovereign country without immediate sanctions by China against whoever did that? Permanent stationing of western troops?

    I feel as if China giving up the claim to Taiwan in exchange for Taiwan’s product capabilities to be made available within the mainland China would lead to China becoming the new global superpower for sure.









  • It’s even more than that since you can improve attacks with more AP, two Pokémon of the same level can also have wildly different stats depending on different factors, there are also genders, passive abilities, etc.

    Also what about legendary Pokémon? Are they having hundreds of different versions of literal gods in each of those?

    Stochastic terrorism is a real thing though - and hate speech against a minority is one of the possible ways fascism can take root in a society.

    Germany learned this the hard way how easy it is to overtake a country that was previously one of the most liberal and modern societies. That’s why hate speech against minorities and holocaust denial are forbidden and harshly punished here - and that’s probably one of the reasons why other countries in Europe had their far-right surges in recent years quite a bit earlier since russia had to be more creative about dividing the population





  • I’m firmly convinced that 90% of the protesters are trolls that’ll vote Trump anyway and are just trying to discourage people from voting for Harris that would never vote for Trump the same way the Trump campaign did that against Clinton.

    Some people are probably participating in those as useful idiots that are not realizing that their activism will only make matters worse

    I think it’s very telling how often those protests are accompanied by “not voting for X” - since that’s the main agenda - not to help Palestinian people

    Netanjahu is openly cheering for trump, knowing that he will have no more breaks on his plan to completely level Gaza and expand on the settler program.

    Trump is the one that basically told the Palestinian people that they’ll never have Jerusalem as a capital by moving the embassy there

    It’s so obvious how much this is just a bad-faith attempt to discourage people from voting for the clearly better choice if you care about Palestine…
