Well, hopefully that'll make it that much more awesome when they win the whole thing?

Did you mean to respond to another comment or did you completely miss the point?
Edit: to put it more politely... The entire above point is that rhe evil of Israel's war does not change whether murdering and kidnapping civilians is wrong.
That was a terrifying inning!
Not great for the heart but damn, this is such a tense and exciting game!
Kidnapping civilians is unequivocally bad regardless of whether we think the kidnapper is on the right side of history.
Being unable to acknowledge the wrongs committed by those whom we support is pretty damn horrifying in my book. To see the same willfully ignorant "america/trump/the church can do no wrong" attitude but on the Left breaks my heart.
A bit late to the party but I have a handful that might work.
For spooky and eerie vibes, Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer. (Turned into a movie that really doesn't capture the feeling.) Just a great sense of creepy dread throughout. I read it alone in a large house in the dark and loved feeling the hair on the back of my neck rise.
Real life horror, The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston. About Ebola, freaking terrifying gross and real.
And if you're looking for classics, he's a bad person but a solid gothic writer, HP Lovecraft. Not all the stories work but a lot are pretty good at evoking dread. Almost any of his collections of short stories works!
I really should keep an eye out for those comms and just avoid. At least any of the vaguely political ones!
(Just Manufacturing Consent feels like a trap designed for me as Chomsky's thoughts on this are super relevant and interesting so, like a fool, I fell into the trap.)
.ml is a strange little place.
Like βOh I was just a few dozen deaths short of having sympathy for Israelβ
This is really well put and cracked me up.
To each their own! I just wanted an analogy where I was pretty sure they would want to take the other side.
(It just seems wild to me that geneva's arguing that the kidnapped people shouldn't count in the totals.)
Reality, my arch nemesis!
Cheers?
