There's no point raising a metaphor in the first place. A metaphor doesn't justify anything. It's just a rhetorical tool that is supposed to help deliver a point. However, all it does in this instance is mess and draw confusion.

bedrooms,

I'm wondering how Netanyahu manipulates these western politicians who weren't compromised by Putin.

bedrooms,

I don't think I'll convince you, but...

what you quoted only makes the Hamas facility the target. Civilians inside that hospital are not valid targets.

I agree Hamas is to blame. But that doesn't mean we'll watch Israel bombard civilians and support Israel for that.

Bye.

Where's Genova when we need it? Well, we always need it.

bedrooms,

Nah, news organizations aren't internet echo chamber.

I mean, if they write dozens of opinions a day, news organizations labeled center-left or even left-leaning have to go to the other side sometimes. If not, they're just propaganda machines.

Ronin, samurai who did not serve a Lord, were not required to shave their heads. This became an easy way to identify such men. [1]: 211

I'm a bit skeptical because this "woman" wears a male clothing with a sword for men and a male hairstyle. Whoever wrote the caption, I guess, is unaware of this mismatch. The author is not a professional historian who underwent a scholarly training as such.

I thus believe it's a man.

bedrooms,

Do you have the URL?

Actually, chonmage without shave was common (among men).

bedrooms,

What suggests this is a woman?

bedrooms,

I'm Japanese and am not sure if it's really a woman

bedrooms,

That's an insult to gigantic global sewers.

bedrooms,

Propaganda is running well when Israel can casually do holocaust...

Would be kind of interesting if they sue in a red State. Or it goes to the Trump Supreme Court. And why not sue them in Genova?

At this point I suspect it's a new scam. These people are clearly deliberately not paying their lawyers. Once the lawyers are done, they move on to new ones.

I'm wondering whether the lawyers are complicit – I guess not. But I honestly have no idea whether Trump & co. are generating profits through this scheme.

Edit: so, one way to establish a scam in this way is for the lawyers to demonstrate how they'd defend other conservatives. By defending people around Trump, these lawyers, for example, might be introduced to potential conservative clients. When they find enough clients they call it a day, and cancel the contract with the powerful people who don't pay them.

Never make a loan with the Chinese government. They intentionally bankrupt you to "borrow" your asset (in many cases, important sea ports) for 99 years. They update that contract every year to lend it fir the next 99 years. You effectively gave away your asset to China forever.

That's also what the occupiers of China did to China itself before the end of WW2 – seize Chinese ports indefinitely.

"It breaks my heart to see children around me strive for a cup of clean water and cannot find it:" Gaza has become a graveyard for thousands of children, Unicef says (www.unicef.org)

Unicef Spokesperson James Elder calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine war. “Gaza must be opened for the safe, sustained and unimpeded access of humanitarian aid, including water, food, medical supplies, and fuel,” he says.

God damn, I refreshed my donation to UNICEF and am hoping other people follow suit.

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund: Israel Is Threatening to Bomb Gaza’s Only Pediatric Cancer Unit --- [video, 33 min + transcript] (www.democracynow.org)

As the U.N. secretary-general repeats his call for an immediate ceasefire, the death toll in Gaza has topped 10,000, including 4,000 children. We speak to an American doctor who just left Gaza and the founder of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, which runs the only pediatric cancer unit in Gaza....

And US politicians call anti-Israel protesters antisemitic. Fucking hell.

bedrooms,

Yes I agree it's misleading (and I'm OP). The first paragraph especially.

bedrooms,

You really shouldn't put "western" there because it suggests stereotyping, and I'm saying this as a Japanese.

bedrooms,

Maybe we'll even call it a western variant of North Korea in the end. All autocrats head to NK apparently.

Terrorists will have no problem writing their own encryption program, and more ordinary citizens will install malicious apps from unofficial app stores.
