  • confiscating Palestinian flags displayed publicly and preventing mobilizations in support of Gaza

    I don’t really think the evidence is strong enough to attribute any sort of anti-Palestinian policy. The video is short, only 13 seconds, with no audio and no context. It doesn’t depict a large mobilisation of support, only one person, though it does look like he had his flag confiscated by school-security. In the clip, another person also has their Chinese flag confiscated. It’s possible given the evidence that large flags were confiscated regardless of which flag it is. We can also see a smaller Palestine flag allowed by the school-security.

    The twitter account you attributed only posts unsourced and impossibly to verify anti-China news, so it’s possible this video is widely taken out of context given who’s reporting it.










  • Okay but Putin was nobody in the KGB. He had a high salary, knew more shady foreigners, he had some advantages sure, but it’s not like the rest of the KGB is who formed the new governments. His job was transcribing Nazi pub banter, essentially the spy version of a market analyst, and then he was fired for being a Nazi sympathiser.

    On the worthless comment, it was very harsh, we shouldn’t talk that way about other people. But I did think it was funny and wouldn’t take it as a slight if directed at me, more just a funny way to express frustration.



  • The “analysis” presented is worthless. But you could observe Soulslike communities and correctly assess that a majority of the people you observed during that time are right wing or hold some similar views. That’s just because they’re computer games and computer game players skew right wing.

    I’d be surprised if Souls had a stronger Right bias than, say, Devil May Cry, Mass Effect, Destiny, Factorio. The popular ones that don’t, draw in audiences from outside, or they’re so mainstream that they accurately reflect larger society.
