I don’t think you get to play the “well you started ww2 card” when you’re trying your damndest to start ww3 lmao

I would think AI art would be perfect for the use case of “here is the general gist of what I want, now turn it into something usable”. I can also imagine basically nobody actually using it that way correctly though lol.

If you accept Disney is absolutely going to continue milking Star Wars no matter what, I think exploring Vader on screen a little more isn’t the worst path they could go down. Lots of interesting Legends material to pull from, as it stands I don’t think we’ve gotten any content around Vader before ANH besides Kenobi and Rebels? I’d be cautiously interested to see how they handled telling a story from his perspective.

Everything you said can be true, but you can still disagree with the idea that the catholic church can be “fixed from the inside”. I doubt he personally was a knob, and I’m sure if not him, it’d have been someone worse. None of those make him a good person - I think the position of “unquestionable mouthpiece of god” is a fundamentally incompatible concept with being a good person.

Insects feel pain, yet I hear no complaints over how many trillions are blended factory farming crops 🤷🏻‍♂️ you clearly gotta draw the line somewhere and y’all chose the far less tasty option.

The “Thief” is probably being conflated with Dismas/ “The Penitent Thief”, essentially just Jesus’s crucifixion neighbor.

Eh, given how many other times cops have been way too lenient with right wing terrorists versus their left wing equivalents(and basically anyone else outwardly left wing but that’s another matter), I’m not sure that earns them any leniency here.

My curiosity is overpowering my better judgement - what?

Nuremberg Trials (en.wikipedia.org)
 

One of the most interesting details about the Nuremberg trials, which I only learned from the ever excellent Robert Evans on a podcast, is the controversy over how many of the crimes Nazis were executed weren’t really “crimes” - international law wasn’t really a thing, and they weren’t really illegal under German law.

Yet we hung the Nazis anyways, because they were the fuckin’ Nazis. I find this a comforting thought in these times.

If you’re in need of additional fortification, the article on John Clarence Woods might help, the hangman who very incompetently and thus painfully executed nazi leadership - there is also a Behind the Bastards on him, possibly the one that discusses the trials iirc.
