This has been the plan from the beginning, as I've noted repeatedly - to kill as many Palestinians as it takes to terrorize the survivors into either fleeing or submitting to direct Israeli rule.

At this point I just wonder what their angle is.

I don't credit the possibility that they're sincere. They didn't just spontaneously grow empathy and principles and integrity and ethics, and if they'd possessed any of those qualities in the past, they would've been reporting the truth then.

So there's something else going on here.

Cynically, I expect that factions in the government are moving against a few key players specifically - most notably Netanyahu - and that the goal is to make a big show of removing them, then stop reporting on the suffering and go back to all propaganda all the time in order to hopefully head off the growing threat of internal opposition by throwing a few of the grosser right-wingers under the bus, but to not fundamentally change anything about the situation or in any way even slow down the genocide.

Thanks for the clarification - I sort of suspected that, but all of my first-hand knowledge of it is 10+ years out of date.

Yes. That's why they call it a "spectrum."

Last I knew, the accepted term was "high-functioning autism."

The last chapter was already great, but seeing it all from Akira's perspective just made it all that much better

Emulated on a PC.

In about '98, I discovered SNES9x. I had an SNES hooked up to my TV at the time, but as soon as I discovered how convenient it was to play on a PC instead, I just stopped using it and eventually boxed it up and put it away. And I haven't looked back.

Huh... they just did Yemen the other day and they're already back to Syria. So Lebanon can expect their turn... sometime this weekend?

At this point, every attempt at this ludicrously dishonest spin can and should be met with the same one-word response - "Mamdani."

[–] WatDabney@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

Huh...

This might just be an exceedingly rare instance in which those corrupt and compromised conservative fuckheads on the Supreme Court won't just rubber-stamp whatever Trump wants, since pissing off the Fed, and the entire banking/investing industry whose interests it represents, could be even worse for them than pissing off the Toddler-in-chief.

There is no rule of law under the Trump regime.
