So we've gone from:
I like pancakes.
Why do you hate waffles?!
... to ...
Killing children is bad.
Obviously you must have brain damage that causes you to spread hateful bigotted conspiracy theories.
Somehow, reality ended up being more ridiculous and less believable than Metal Gear Solid 2.
Its b/c they specifically responded about Jewish people. They're outing themselves as child murderers b/c they feel attacked by the statement.
I... I know that... I'm just trying to point out how the insanity knob appears to just ratchet forward and there seemingly is no way to dial it back... we're just gonna keep cranking it up untill it blows out the amp, so to speak.
I get blanking everything unimportant to get the point across, but I do wonder what the rest of the text said...
Idk, the further context would be knowing how outspoken she (rightfully) has been about Israel. It's not like the post was shared in a vacuum.

The Predator was after a worthy opponent. Something to give a challenge. The IDF are just bullies with guns. Think ICE but with different brown people.
Of course they do. The first movie shows they are honorable killers / hunters. Afaik, this has always been part of their lore.
There's a difference between predators and fascist psychopaths
I watched the animated Predator movie the other day, and was miffed that
Tap for spoiler
they would kidnap people who won against their hunters, freeze them for who knows how many years (thereby effectively ending their lives as they know it) and bring them across the galaxy to fight for their lives again. Respect that the winner won you sore losers. Absolutely no honor.
No honor? The Yatuja believe that the only honor that matters is in your hunting prowess, literally every Yatuja has never lost a fight because they always fight to the death. They absolutely think it's an honor to be brought to Yautja Prime to fight against their leader, which is why they do that instead of just killing the people who beat a Predator. That's a huge sign of respect from them
I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.
The Yautja have no concept of "loved ones". It is specifically brought up that Dek's older brother is a failure because he is protecting his weaker brother instead of culling him for the strength of the clan. You're using human emotional logic to justify your opinions instead of following Predator logic. The vast majority of Yautja would be champing at the bit to fight to prove they can beat the warlord. I still contend these humans have been given an incredible honor in Yautja society

I nean Predator seems kinda woke with that rainbow view, so it only makes sense.
Predators do it for the hunt, not because of hate or fanaticism.
IDF hates kids, think opposite of Epstein circle. Predator is impartial towards kids.
think opposite of Epstein circle
In no way the Epstein circle is the opposite. Rape is not love, those people are rapists not pedophiles.
that was dark humor not factual. I also enjoyed making a connection between two vile organizations. even though it looks like an anti connection the whole point of the joke is to make them look similar, precisely because of the reason you mentioned.
Predator is a hunter so his threat assessment is superior to trigger happy freikorp LARP.
I don't know about your country specifically, but here in France hunters regularly shoot at cyclists. Their main union even complained about a new law imposing a legal limit of blood alcohol content during hunting sessions.
our hunting regulations are all over the place but there was a period in history when a number of prominent politicians got killed during hunting "by accident". oddly enough they had ties with russia...

That's not a shitty movie detail, that's a depressingly accurate observation.
Hah memes are funny.
deep sigh
They have more sense than your average American cop, too.
this isnt even a shitpost, its just a good post.
Not to ruin the shitpost, but Predator didn't attack the child only because it posed no challenge.
Yes, that's the point. The predator won't attack a human child because they are incapable of defending themselves. The IDF doesn't care about that.

The alien sport-hunter who kills people to collect their bones as trophies is not a role model!
This is why I’m team xenomorph. No agenda, no philosophy, no sermons. Just equal opportunity face-hugging and chest-bursting.

As someone really big into sportsmanship, no. They really are good role models. They have impeccable sportsmanship.

One thing the Predator movies always did well was giving the creature its own strange code of honor. Moments like that made it feel less like a mindless monster and more like a hunter with rules.
Lol, I just recognized the name from spending ages discussing the monarchy with this guy. Seeing this post I checked his other comments; jeeeeeeeesus.
I thought they just liked killing kids
Oh, I'm gonna carry that weight.
And American police and gun-toting civilians
Predator Badlands was dope I’m looking forward to a sequel. Gonna watch Prey this weekend, see if it holds up. They’re kinda hit or miss, Aliens vs Predator should have been way better, hopefully they’ll give it another go with the current cast.
