    The five declension? I'd prefer not to.

  • Pro-tip: never say "nihilism", instead say "bourgeois nihilism"
  • he was sort of a proto-fascist

    Nietzsche's political views are unclear at best. He often writes hyperbolically and ironically (sarcastically?) so quoting scattered sentences from his works proves nothing.

  • Pro-tip: never say "nihilism", instead say "bourgeois nihilism"
  • This is such a bizarre, absurd argument. What do those sentences, taken out of context and misrepresented, demonstrate about Nietzsche's view of Jews?

    The New Testament isn't exactly considered the Jewish part of the Bible. Just on the face of it, the quotes seem to be more anti-christian than anti-jewish.

    Also idk about the implication that stanning Pilate is antisemitic. He does have an absolute banger of a line.

    This take on Nietzsche is particularly ironic considering that actual German nationalism was being born at the time, and Nietzsche opposed it. He broke with Wagner over all the batshit antisemitic stuff (again, Nietzsche was anti-christian, not antisemitic...).

    Nietzsche famously loathed Christianity, and the slavish mentality he perceived to be at the core of the faith.

  • I think he's saying harming a human being is morally worse than harming an animal, all else being equal. I was confused as well but I think it's just the Community meme wording. Had to reread it and look up the actual line from the show.

    The line is "I can excuse racism but I draw the line at animal cruelty". I'd forgot the extra layer of irony, that it's a white woman implying cruelty to animals is worse than cruelty to black/brown people.

    This fucking site strains my reading comprehension sometimes.

    being murdered on a factory farm

    I think a factory farm slaughtering people is considered outside the realm of possibility. I assume the vast majority of people would consider that morally worse.

  • Does anyone actually make phones that fit in hands anymore?
  • I myself haven't tried magisk to get around safety net/play integrity

    I recently had to do this with a phone I'd rooted a year or two ago. It only took like 20 minutes. Honestly it's not so bad, if you accept that your banking & streaming apps might stop working like once a year and you have to look up the new fix.

    You can also keep an old phone as a backup for such cases. I just used an old phone for streaming for like a week when I was too lazy to fix the safety net check.

    You got a source for this part?

    The interview doesn't seem quite as damning as you're making it out to be. He seems to be saying they dealt a devastating blow to the mesnadas.(which are supposedly government-run paramilitaries?)

    He claims the army came in and

    formed armed groups, called mesnadas

    right before he says

    In the face of reactionary military actions and the use of mesnadas, we responded with a devastating action

    So he doesn't appear to be saying they murdered a bunch of unarmed peasants, he's saying they attacked an armed paramilitary group.

    we weren't the same as those they had fought before

    This also doesn't suggest unarmed peasants.

    I'm not saying he's telling the truth, or that they didn't kill any innocent people. It's just far from him openly admitting they killed babies.

  • Thinking about watching this as a form of self harm.
  • Yeah, I know there are white Muslims. I've seen lots of blue-eyed blond-haired Muslim Bosnians. I'm just wondering if there's a limit to what Americans would consider white.

    Like I know a Palestinian guy with fair hair and blue eyes, but I've never asked him if he considers himself white.

  • Is Hasan white? I thought the name alone would preclude him from whiteness.

  • How many of you *actually* believe Ruzzia is winning this war?
  • Theyre trying to do do an Amerikkka.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(military_symbol)

    Opponents of the war have pejoratively called the Z symbol a zwastika.

    The 2022 Moscow rally [...] was officially called in Russia "For a world without Nazism" (Russian: «Zа мир без нацизма»), with Latin Z replacing Russian З.

    In Moldova, unknown vandals painted the symbols "Z" and "V" over crosses at the World War II Heroes' Cemetery of Chișinău, on graves of soldiers of the Axis-aligned Romania

    Forget all the Ukrainian nazi iconography, the Ruzzians are the real Nazis!

  • Honestly it seems like an arbitrary line, considering that Herbert's story continues for a few more books after that. The first two books could also be considered a good standalone (duology?), since they cover the span of Paul's story.

    Really, the only wrong answer is the first book alone. I think most people read only the first book and get the wrong idea.

  • Yeah, the antisemitic comparisons I've seen have typically been in the "vermin" category. Implying that Jews need to exterminated. I guess dogs wouldn't fit the rhetoric well because people are generally sympathetic to dogs...

    I know the dog comparison is used pejoratively in a couple of other languages, but the connection there seems to be to dogs barking - basically calling someone a nuisance.

  • Yeah it would explain a lot. I wish someone had told me "I think you might have ADHD" when I was younger. I was a grown ass man going around thinking "I am completely neuroptypical", ignoring all the signs being glaringly obvious, and making fun of "spergs", who I definitely totally didn't understand (most of my friends at any given time).

    Ironically it was a coworker who had been diagnosed in his 30s and had since experienced his life drastically improving, who approached me. He told me I should get tested, but I was extremely skeptical. He then proceeded to nail me to the fucking wall by listing all the strange behaviors he'd observed, including shit I was shit doing while he was talking to me

    In hindsight, it was extremely obvious. But it's so easy to chalk up to personal quirks and the default assumption is neuroptypical. Especially if you're over a certain age or part of an underserved group who didn't have access to mental health services.
