It’s not really a trolley problem, it’s just an American imperialism problem.

Replace Israel with Saudi Arabia during the Yemeni War or the United States during the Iraq War. None of this would be controversial. Treating Israel as metonymy for “Jewish” as opposed to what it is — an imperialist theocratic ethnostate engaged in ethnic cleansing — is pretty dangerous and disturbing.

So what will change with a free Palestine?

According to the Times of Israel, Washington Post, Haaretz, and The Wall Street Journal: Israel gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas in order to destabilize the Palestinian statehood movement.

Weird how the ADL and AIPAC end up giving all of their money and support to Republicans spouting insanity about Jewish space lasers while getting photographed with actual swastika-wearing Nazis.

“To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.” It’s just weird seeing people treat, “Free Palestine” as an antisemitic slur and then suddenly disappear when the Israeli Prime Minister repeatedly says he doesn’t believe Palestine should even exist.

Lana Del Rey does with music the exact same thing they did with movies — confronted the nauseating falseness of the suburban American dream. That said, Lana Del Rey also has a history of kind of being that thing, so... you know, whatever.

If she said someone one-tenth as incendiary about pretty much any other group

Jenna Ortega has a half dozen Times of Israel articles, some comparing her to Kanye West, because she called the burning down of dozens of Palestinian villages in the West Bank over the summer and the on-camera murders of Palestinians by Israeli Settlers and the IDF an ethnic cleansing.

On CNN yesterday the Former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak let slip to Christiane Amanpour that Israel believes there are tunnels and bunkers under the hospitals they keep bombing because... Israel built a bunch of tunnels and bunkers under hospitals forty years ago when they controlled Gaza.

When the biggest conspiracies on her twitter feed are just factual stories from Israeli newspapers that American press avoid. And her most controversial statement is, “Why isn’t the West covering this?”

Running man.

I think this is true. Disney wants to turn Star Wars back into a licensing machine and they need a guy who can answer the question, “What’s the name of a planet where you find Khyber crystals” before production gets underway.

The problem with judging Filoni is that his hardcore fans keep giving him credit for other peoples’ work while his biggest critics keep giving him credit for other peoples’ work. Ultimately, this has given him a level of creative prestige he doesn’t deserve outside of his reliability as a consultant for better artists.

But the cold reality is that obesity and scarring are far more often marks of evil in the last 30 years than disability.

We have had CoD on an annual release for longer than that, and during the same period we had 7 Assassin’s Creed games, 5 Far Cry games, none of which really came close to being GoTYs or anything like that, while both games in TLOU series did.

Too bad they couldn’t fix my main outpost triggering an infinite loading screen and becoming completely unavailable. Oh well, gave me an excuse to wrap the game up months ago and never look at it again.

Governments really need to turn this around and make CEOs and shareholders beholden to their workforce and product.

However, I don’t think literally anyone in the entire Western world thinks people in wheelchairs or with similar physical issues are “evil” nor associated with evil, so removing Davros from his half-Dalek seems like missing the point. That hasn’t really been “a thing” in TV since literally the 1980s.

Ultimately, Microsoft came out with a console capable of stealing half of Sony’s market and Nintendo created a new market with motion controls that disappeared immediately after.
