Caring About Property Damage Isn't A Privileged Karen Thing

It's because during the BLM riots they didn't damage the wealthy but the working class and poor. The people they said they were representing were being damaged by their actions and they want to downplay it as the other side caring only about themselves. No, you ignorant pos it's the fact that you say police brutality is bad, but endorse brutality against people's livelihoods and justify it. And no you don't go on with that petite bourgeoise bs because job owners are often working class people. Seriously, those protestors who don't give a shit about being bigoted against Israel are the same type of people who protested BLM and burned neighorboods down.

“It’s not a war!” Ok so one internationally-recognized government directed their military to break an internationally agreed upon ceasefire. It directed members of its military to cross an internationally recognized border into the internationally recognized territory of a different sovereign nation. It directed members of the military to murder innocent civilians on the basis of those civilian’s nationality. And since then it’s been firing thousands of military-grade rockets across that international border and at civilian targets in a different sovereign nation. That different sovereign nation has since counter-attacked.

You don’t think that’s a war because… why, exactly? Because you don’t agree with where the international community drew the borders decades before you were born? Because the response from the defending nation against its attacker has been disproportionate? Because the defending nation has a better military than the attacker?

Your opinion doesn’t matter. This conflict meets every definition of war, from dictionary.com to international humanitarian law. Calling it a war does not negate the massive loss of Palestinian civilian life. Calling it a war does not prevent other definitions, such as genocide, from applying to the situation. As far as I can tell, refusing to call it war only does three things— it erases the history of Hamas’s brutality, it justifies hatred against Jewish communities, and it negates international recognition of Palestinian sovereignty.

Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.

If the USA stopped Israel from committing a genocide, no one would be dead. This wouldn’t have happened if the US didn’t write blank checks to Israel. This wouldn’t have happened if the US didn’t treat Israel like its spoiled child. Iran targeted military bases, not children, not civilians, military bases.

interesting how it's always "iranian regime" and never "israeli regime" and definetly never "iran, where the us and uk overthrew a democratically elected leader because the iranian parliment voted to nationalise iranian oil to stop foreign countries profiting off of their resources, with the western powers' actions ultimatly leading to the islamic republic of iran that they so fear"

These two tweets capture how "Zionist" is being used by some people.

I have seen plenty of idiots who fetishize lgbt stuff or call a character being straight is gross then turn around and get mad if someone were to say the sam about homosexuality when they are no different ( the attempt to pretend that because straight people werent ever oppressed for being straight makes it different is just an attempt to justify bigotry bigotry is just hatred it doesnt require oppression or power or history(which some people claim as an attempt to justify their hatred by going well in the past this happened or but there are still homophobes today in america which doesnt change the fact that htey are bigots as well racism against blacks still existing on an individual level doesnt change the fact that they are racist against whites it doesnt matter if they are a minority bigotry is bigotry you want equality saying a gay person beng hateful towards being straight or christian is wrong is equality )

and saying but gay people get kicked out of their houses for being gay straight people arent kicked out of their homes for being straight

when that is irrelevant that doesnt refute the fact they are bigots and the bigotry is equal

(its funny I always see these idiots specifically target christianity and leave islam ( when you know muslim majority countries actually execute you for being gay and those people wouldnt be punished for it ) it seems like a mix of them seeing islam as brown people religion and them being raised in a christian heavy place.

Yeah those people are shallow and dense

I am still reading through Ultimania translations like a certain someone in the data room…

Here are some curious notes on our Jenova Project scientists, Vincent, and Sephiroth that I know you will all appreciate.

That note about Hojo envying Gast and his genius—please keep this in mind. It will come into play for these next translations.

The research on Omega and the Kalm experiments were also in the Shinra manor. It makes you wonder if Sephiroth read any of that and further saw how cruel Shinra was.

The Jenova cell flashes in Sephiroth’s mind that we saw in the Rebirth demo can be seen in this image from the Crisis Core guide.

This is where everything becomes more interesting. Something not fully explained in DOC is Lucrecia’s own deterioration. It would appear that Vincent confronted Hojo over this after Sephiroth was born and taken away (or did he?). Lucrecia was falling to pieces it seems. (We will come back to this).

(Small note, but it looks like Vincent actually did propose to Lucrecia).

The next pile of notes are from the older Ultimania Omega from 2005, and some debate the validity of the text and whether it still holds true to current canon. However, if we are willing to consider Crisis Core from 2007 as canon, then I see no issue with this Ultimania unless something is directly changed.

For our Jenova project scientists, there is just more detail not spoken in the game. Some of it is fascinating and helpful.

I take this information as extra insight that the original game did not give us and mostly canon as well. Reading it felt like a stab to the chest even if I knew most of it.

We know from DOC that Lucrecia did love Vincent in the end, but during their time together she pushed him away because of the guilt with his father and gave into her love for Hojo instead.

It is….strange but that line from the CC guide about Hojo’s envy of Gast was apparently a concept here too. It supposedly was so strong that it brought out a maternal love in Lucrecia. Very likely this was before Hojo was completely mad and murderous.

I also wonder if Lucrecia’s affection was only that overall. A feeling that didn’t last when she realized Hojo’s complex was destructive and not “cute.”

These are the details some debate and I believe it has been for shipping reasons in the past…but as a non-shipper, I can see this happening with such a complex group of people.

The next bit about Lucrecia’s deterioration is also odd because it almost sounds as though Lucrecia disappeared only because of her body’s collapse. DOC once again changed the order of these events to where Lucrecia left after failing to save Vincent and losing her son.

It also looks like Vincent confronted Hojo much earlier. We are now left to interpretation maybe since DOC’s own timeline is hard to follow. There are plenty of people who have these events better thought through than me.

But if we combine all of these details together and ignore the timeline, we have more reasons for Lucrecia’s breakdown in general. Vincent’s bodily corruption, the loss of Sephiroth, and Lucrecia’s own degradation. We may not know the very order of every event until Rebirth or the third game, which is okay. These are still good details.

This hurts so much and I do not even need to explain why, ahaha. Hojo is so, so cruel to his own family.

I have recently pulled a translation from this section which some of you may recognize. All of the small details make me emotional 🥲

And this is the last one I wanted to share. I cannot stop thinking about Hojo’s inferiority complex with Gast because we know Sephiroth looked up to and admired Gast from a young age. How bitter Hojo must have been that his own son adored a man he hated. The implications of how complicated this could have made their relationship are endless. No wonder Hojo murdered Gast without hesitation. A walking mass of complexes indeed.

I think this is so emotional for me because of The First Soldier and Rebirth now. These details matter for enrichment.

Featured in Rebirth but not a Rebirth-specific plot spoiler. I just felt this was too gross and too Hojo-horrorcore not to post.

Best Dad ever 💀

Silly me sitting in my silly house thinking my silly thoughts like how Hojo had three literal cylinders full of his darling son's skin, hair, and blood.

[megashadowdragon]

Informed of this from Twitter.

There were more than three capsules.

Hojo had more than three capsules' worth of his son's tissue, hair, and blood.

Don't fucking tell me Sephiroth just decided to be evil on his own because holy shit what his own father did to him...
