Zwei Jahre israelische Propaganda abschreiben bis man endlich mal ein Rückgrat gefunden hat. Zwei Jahre Völkermord. Zehntausende Kinderleben. Hunderttausende Menschenleben.

Simple: War with Iran is mostly about Israel. As long as Israel remains expansionist, its project will be regionally rejected, leading it to define its security as regional hegemony - a state of 10 million dominating a region of half a billion. That’s impossible without the USA – thus forever war.

The fact that the game does not deserve an AO rating is apparent from the widely available full walkthroughs on YouTube and Twitch, as well as from its distribution on the Humble Store.

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us
Earlier this week, I spoke briefly Epic about Horses, a game that was approved for release on EGS, then blocked after a re-rating
"We love that studio," Epic VP Steve Allison said of Santa Ragione, but maintained that an AO rating was a dealbreaker

Think about how when Newsome says homelessness is a problem, what he means is that it is a visible problem.
He sweeps the camps, throwing out people's meds and documents, forcing them to go be homeless elsewhere, less visibly.
Same with Obama, Biden, and Kamala bragging about deportations.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Referring to something Trump did a “blatantly racist” is as direct as it gets.

Cis people: Would you vote for a politician who would fix maybe 1/3rd of the issues we are currently facing but would also shoot you personally directly in your genitals with a pistol? Genuinely curious if that would be a red line for you.
