Remember in 2010s those chuds would post “I am an attack helicopter, it is my gender identity to drop bombs on foreign countries and if you oppose you are transphobic” as malicious trolling?
If you think of it zionist (and I guess ‘vote for 99% hitler or you are transphobic’ liberal) pride is just taking that phrase (or at least the second part) and going ‘this but unironically’.
A thought experiment that came to my head: Say in an alternate timeline Biden is more or less the same or ‘okay’ on other issues but the ‘single issue’ is something else. The Israel-Palestine war either does not happen during his term or he gives a way more convincing 'anti-'genocide response. Instead he is either super pro-life or super transphobic. If the former alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to restrict abortion access and calls pro-choice protestors who get beaten up pro-baby murder. If the latter alternate Biden actively works with republicans to pass bills to criminalise trans people, calls trans-supportive parents and teachers child molestors and claims Rowling etc. are victims of cancel culture. How would liberals justify this as the lesser evil?
To hop on this I’m looking at trying a chinese/ wuxia turn-based rpg for this summer sale. Have the following on my wishlist:
-Wandering Sword
-Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains
-Hero’s Adventure: Road to Passion
-Souls of Chronos
-Terra Memoria
What would you recommend?
Note that the CrossCode DLC A New Home on itch io did not come with the bundle and is not on sale and if you want it it would probably be cheaper to just re-buy the game and DLC on steam.

Pokemon Emerald Z. Decent fakemon romhack that is not super difficult like Altair/ Sirius/ Vega.
Pokemon Unbound and Gaia for new region hacks.
I also have kind of a soft spot for Pokemon Glazed and Giratina Strikes Back. Mainly because they came out at a time when pokemon romhack game balance and stories were awful. Meanwhile Glazed was just a regular get all eight badges story while Giratina Strikes Back at least had some semblance of level scaling/ balance/ no Lv 80 vs your own Lv 40 pokemon bosses.
I guess compare them to their enemies? Put the two statements “Russia declared LGBTQ+ as a terrorist movement because the CIA (allegedly) uses LGBTQ+ organisations as fronts for spying” and “Israel kills Palestinian civilians because Hamas (allegedly) hides behind them” together. Ask why they think the latter is morally justified but not the former.
I assume Azur Promilia will be more or less the same on release? Though that game at least seems to be gunning for a different genre (Palworld with less guns).
If I ever end up modding my own community I would classify all instances of #1 as a death threat. They want to tell you to go ‘k’ yourself but are too much of a coward to say it out loud.
According to my Sunday and catholic schools babies that die before baptism go to Limbo which is not as bad as hell but also not heaven. If a baby is about to die and there are no priests nearby you are allowed to do an emergency baptism so that they go to heaven.
A few years ago a christian organisation in US did a poll on how aware the christian population was on the church’s teachings or something like that. MoBlack (anarchist-communist anime blogger that wrote many Medium articles breaking apart Shield Hero) pointed out that while people generally answered questions regarding sex and abortion ‘correctly’ (as in they were aware of the church’s stance), when it came to things like “are children born innocent” (correct answer: No. All children are born with original sin because Adam and Eve ate the fruit.) only like 30% could match the church’s stance.
The conclusion he came to was that the super religious people are not actually super religious. They are just very political about their religion.

I played it on android though I kind of go on and off.
Also the game is currently humble bundle’s FUNgeon Crawlers bundle. Second tier US$11.
What about Vietnam war-style booby trapping inside the building? Would that help or will it just injure the students?

Singapore still does caning in its prisons. Unfortunately Singapore is allies with Israel.
The phenomenom of ‘using queer rights to make your crimes against humanity look pretty’ is called pinkwashing if anyone needs a short word to describe it in future

Saying “leave if you don’t like your country’s imperialism” is no different from saying “anyone who are not as racist as me should go kill themselves”.
