It’s amazing how millions of people are kept completely unaware or approving of genocide and 15000+ children murdered.
The implicit bias in this article is just a small part of that recipe.

It is amazing they don’t mention in the article how many children and innocent people died and dying due to the use of these technology. Keeping the wording at “armed conflict between Israel and Hamas”

Which is an odd way to describe Israel’s one sided campaign of terror and genocide on Palestinians.

Our world is more like Star Wars EU than I wanted to believe in my childhood. Especially the 20 PBY to 0 PBY part of its timeline.
Vibes of Coruscant Nights trilogy and that book I don’t remember where a few Jedi were saved by a clone commando unit during order 66, but then they all were hunted down by Vader, and Last of the Jedi books, and other such, showing how what’s epic and apocalyptic for the main participants is just news for most of the galaxy, not any more important than fashion or electing the right senator from some planet or some movie or singing contest.
When I was consuming unholy volumes of SW books, both fan-made translations to Russian (RTF documents, some monospaced font, black on burning white, rudimentary formatting, at night with lights off, oh those times) and originals when there were no translations yet (my English sucked too), I was constantly ashamed of reading something “not serious”, same with Russian fantasy books, but now it feels like all those things I’ve read functioned as a proxy of the real world in a way no classics can match. And they were good literature too, I was just suppressed by the feeling of authority implicitly saying that such books give less.

It’s not that odd if they’re living in a genocidal, terrorist state.
