  I guess when you’re a kid yourself you don’t realise it’s a lot more creepy when the writers, animators etc. are 20s, 30s, 40s…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Where the Trump-as-Master Chief post is merely cringeworthy, the Homeland Security message is flat-out dangerous. Comparing immigrants in the US to a parasitic alien life form that infects and annihilates advanced societies is not deeply offensive, it’s also rooted in the worst of human history: As seen in the untermenschen of the Holocaust and “cockroaches” in Rwanda, to name a couple recent examples, dehumanizing the “other” so you can more easily inflict cruelty, injustice, and horrors upon them is hardly a new technique, and the US government’s messaging was not subtle.

  You might think that using imagery from one of its best known videogames in a call to “destroy” immigrants would prompt Microsoft to action, or at least to express some small modicum of disapproval. For now, at least, you would be wrong: Rather like Nintendo, which eagerly picks copyright fights it knows it can win but kept its mouth tightly zipped when Homeland Security used Pokémon to promote violent immigration raids, a representative told PC Gamer that “Microsoft does not have anything to share on this matter.”

  Unexpectedly good political commentary from checks notes PC Gamer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean he was a pretty shit Jew. Fellow Jews tried to stone him to death “for blasphemy, because [he], a mere man, claim[ed] to be God” (John 10:33).

  I think the hating Jews thing has nothing to do with Christianity, though, it was always just an excuse. There’s no reason Abrahamic religions should get on or not based on any scripture, it’s all just politics of the time.

  For eg. having different holy days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday was all so they could share a place of worship, this is largely forgotten or covered up (literally, in some older buildings).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I follow your logic, and it does make sense, but I think the problem might be that those arguing against you are American, not Scotsmen /s

  Can we agree that there can be good and bad, or perhaps generous vs selfish Christians? Another issue is “Christian” is sometimes used adjectively, “that’s pretty Christian of you”, which is generally used to mean generous, but has nothing to do with someone’s belief in God, Jesus etc.

  Probably a person’s belief in supernatural beings has nothing to do with their ethics, morality or generosity, it’s just that in some societies at certain times there are perceived correlations, and irrespective of whether these reflect reality or not, they, through deliberate conflation of religion, morality, politics etc. can color people’s opinions of those belonging a specific religion.

  USBC came out of NBC and ABC and is the largest public service broadcaster in North America, and was once the largest broadcasting company in the world. Once publicly owned, it is now funded by a mixture of private interests and taxes, and has a government-appointed board of directors.
