I just see them conflated a lot in the media (example), and I think it comes about because in the modern geopolitical landscape there's been no place in the foreign policy discussion for open belligerence or wars of aggression. The discourse has shifted so that the main difference of opinion is whether or not you…

Hey NBC: please stop showing, talking about, and altogether acknowledging the gross idiocy that is cupping

I like them because for me, a person who has seen snow and gone sledding exactly once, it's basically like watching a bunch of fantasy sports with made-up physics. It's like if there was a Quidditch telecast I could watch.

Yeah, even though gems are functionally immortal there has to be some sort of attrition rate across the Empire. What else are they gonna do with the remains?

There's two different types of weapons in play. Bismuth explicitly mentions that she made all the "material" weapons used by the CGs, as opposed to the hard-light weapons they can manifest from their gems.
