Thr court has no obligation to delay unless they really believe the genocide is fine

He’s been using every trick in the book, and some not in the book, to delay his trial, but yeah it boils down to this. A lot of how he’s been able to get this far hinges on the courts and Knesset recognizing the so-called security needs of Israel.

I’m honestly torn between whether I want to see Netanyahu behind bars for the rest of his life or right where he is destroying Israel from the inside.

A few Zionist stragglers exist, but they almost invariably get downvoted to oblivion.

It has nothing to do with bigotry and everything to do with unaccountable authority.

I mean, they’re two sides of the same coin. Authority capitalizes on bigotry (and division, more broadly) to avoid accountability.

But I’m charmed by how they describe Japan as a nation where omnipresent surveillance is still not considered normal. This wasn’t the case with the EU 5 or 10 years ago.

Fair enough.

I mean, one look at Japanese work culture should be all demonstration you need for that.

Wow, it’s actually amazing how far they can combine self-awareness and denial so effortlessly.

The only reason Japan isn’t in the same boat as America and Europe (yet, far-right parties are slowly rising in popularity) is that they never got on the immigration train, so their population is mostly homogenous and there are few things for bigots to complain about. Of course, this came with a price; the dismal state of Japan’s industry, academia and economy compared to other first-world countries is at least partially due to their rejection of immigrants. Of course, they can’t keep this up forever, which is why they’ve been recently allowing more immigrants in, fueling the rise of the far-right. Unless they can change rapidly, what Japan is “enjoying” now is the calm before the storm. “Still has something appearing to be a democracy” is how the EU was described five years ago.

And that’s pretty cool, seems like a culture best suited for modern challenges.

I mean, looking at the Lost Decades it seems to be quite the opposite. Sometimes it helps to take things slow, but other times you really have to think “come on get on with the times already”.

In that case anime is your best friend. Well, and any other Japanese video content. Even with subtitles it helps your ears get used to the language.

In case that wasn’t clear, I’m cheering on the hopefully impeding dissolution of the US here. If America becomes a bunch of small to medium-sized state Great Satan might finally stop spreading death and destruction on the other side of the world. The more dysfunctional the Union becomes, the more states are going to want out, so yeah.

this is a bad sign.

Some of us out there consider it a very good sign, but yeah potato potato.

Wow, two hours in and nobody taking a dig at the Catholic Church yet.

Small tip: でも can only be used to start a sentence; for connecting two halves of a sentence you should use けど or が depending on formality level.

Learned Japanese on a whim so I could watch anime without subtitles. Now by complete coincidence I’m in Japan and not banging my head against the nearly insurmountable language barrier (Japanese people are really bad at English).

You’re getting downvoted but indigenous people in, say, Canada and Australia tend to be the staunchest pro-environment advocates so there’s merit to this idea.

Best news I’ve heard today.

Why would they ever do that? Buying a new Tesla is one thing, but using one they’ve already paid for doesn’t benefit Musk. Why would there be a threshold for them to get rid of their perfectly fine car?

Uh… I guess that just happened. Insert that meme whre the ninja says “c’mon, do something”.

I mean, presumably the car not working anymore? I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask them.

I’ve made this point before so I’m just going to drop this here:

Zionists like to Holocaustwash their atrocities, but the people who built and now populate Israel for the most part have nothing to do with the Holocaust. Prominent Zionist leaders in British Palestine were all there before the war, and half the population of Israel is of Middle Eastern—not European—descent. In fact at least at first (not sure if it’s a thing now) Zionist Jews actively looked down on Holocaust victims and survivors as weak diaspora Jews who suffered because of their weakness, unlike strong Aliyah Jews who would never go through such a thing.

Also, Israel had the underpinnings of fascism from the very beginning; this is nothing more than Zionism, an inherently fascist ideology, taken to its fascist conclusion.
