51·6 months agoI call it the Omniman/Homelander distinction
That is to say, is the deconstructing work made by someone who gets the message of the work being deconstructed or not.
Omniman is a complex look at the stated origin of Superman being sent to earth, and the paternalistic nature of what exactly Jor’El wished for Clark to do with the benefits of Earth’s environment, and also a look at how even despite that, Superman would have been capable of learning to be a true hero without that guiding hand of a human upbringing, and that some of his spark isn’t nature or nurture but just that drop of empathy it takes to make someone see helping others as worth it for its own sake.
Homelander is a wankfest about how bad superhero comics are written by a guy who wrote an entire series about how he believes everyone secretly wants to be a murder rapist and is just “brainwashed by societal bullshit” to not acknowledge it.
Yeah let’s just ignore how the Assad family have been pursuing a “foreign policy” goal that basically amounts to, “Lebensraum but Alewite”
This is a state for which the resolution to both the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and Cyprus/North Cyprus conflict is, “ALL WILL BE CRUSHED BENEATH THE BOOT OF THE ASSAD DYNASTY!”
BRICS isn’t going to happen Gretchen, stop trying to make BRICS happen.
IIRC the reason the queen is such a powerful piece is because the original piece was called something like “The Commander” or “The Champion”, and the idea of that being a separate person from the King didn’t make sense once the game reached Europe amid the chivalric code and specific rules about how lords and monarchs are to be handled on the battlefield.
It would depend a lot, Carthage for example absolutely was going to shoot first if Rome didn’t, the Hellenistic world as well most likely, especially after Hannibal fled there after the second Punic War.

Not an article but this one does have a direct quote on the slur, https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=84135

You’d think if they were gonna break out ancient traditions of discrimination against Christians that they’d get creative and do something making Lion noises at them.
See that’s the thing, Israelis by and large aren’t the Jews that survived the Holocaust, most of those folks stayed in Europe or immigrated to the US and Canada.
Ashkenazi Jews in Israel who trace back to an arrival from that period are mostly the folks that handed the Nazis a fat stack to transfer their monetary assets to the banking infrastructure already established by the Zionists in Israel.
Of the Holocaust Survivor families that ended up in Israel, a third live in abject poverty, because again, these were the folks that couldn’t just pay off the Nazis to let them go somewhere else, all of them face language discrimination because Israel banned the official use of historical Jewish languages like Ladino, Yiddish, and Mizrahi, and all of them risk getting slurred at by the non-holocaust-survivor families, specifically calling them Soap which is just one of the most blatantly heinous things I’ve discovered about how one community gets treated by another.
There’s also the Russian Jews who ignore comparisons to the Holocaust and identify more with it being a rightful act of irredentism akin to the war in Ukraine.
8·7 months agoThe use of “over and over again” gives me amusing Homer Simpson thoughts, “Oh yeah baby fuse me so hard! Just like that!”
At this point it just feels like a layup on Putin lol
Someone’s been makin’ that Los Alamos vintage crack again!
It’s spain, there’s a non zero chance that that’s the entire point
I wish US filibusters worked like this, would stop a lot of senators from fucking around with every little thing
“He’s not a Nazi! He just talks and acts like them because he thinks it polls well to be a Nazi!”
IT’S A WARDEN DRAGON LOOK OUT!
