#Causing a war

Wounded pride is a very dangerous thing. Whether you're a country or a politician.
A narrative of victimhood when you're actually in a position to do a lot of damage.
#deserve#to win#Bc you were wronged thus it justifies everything#Like what??#Nope#Lookin at vk still. I think russia has a particular problem with this#Which may be a fault of all large/powerful countries idk#Everyone wants to be the good guy#But you're only the good guy if you do good things#Being a victim#Nations#Presidents#Be careful or you may end up#Causing a war#Hurting people#At very least misleading them bc u can't stand to lose bc you#In these cases often exaggerated or fabricated#Doesn't mean you're good#Neither does winning

I’ll never quite get over just how integrated kids are into daily Jedi life and the implications of that.
Dooku’s Temple "job" for years seems to have been “teaching lightsaber preschool.” Sifo-Dyas, the guy with the scary doom visions? Oh yeah, they have him working with infants, bringing babies to the Temple as a Seeker. Jocasta Nu is constantly depicted interacting with the younger generation of Jedi, teaching, helping, or mentoring. In TCW, she knows all the Padawans on sight.
There’s just something really ordinary and charming to me about this. Sure, Dooku is a terrifying 2m of spider limbs in a robe, but he’s still going down on one sinister knee to check out the little crying kid who got a finger crunched by one of those wooden training swords. How many of the TCW-era Jedi were once babies who played with Sifo-Dyas’s hair loopies or cuddled on his chest as he pointed his T-6 back toward the Temple after another successful Seeking mission? (Space is, after all, cold. 🥺) You just know Jocasta is in very reluctant possession of knowledge of every single teen Padawan drama, crush, or breakup. She tries to stay out of it, but she’s broken up fights and pulled particulars into her office for tea and a gentle lecture on the inherent self-destructiveness of gossip.
And these are not “just some” Jedi - they are all combat trained, politically important, at the top of their rank and even each sit on the Council at some point in their lives. The Jedi Order really went “super powerful space wizards with laser swords, yeah, but they should also all definitely know how to change a diaper."
#jocasta has such “I deal with 7th graders daily - TRY me” energy#sifo just whipping out little details when an adult Jedi he brought to the Temple is mildly irritating him#“that's an interesting point but I remember someone who wouldn't stop spitting up on their seeker Knight Fisto”#his high council era is treacherous for a certain generation of knights cause he absolutely has wiped some relevant butts#AND WILL REMIND THEM#jedi culture#jedi order#sifo dyas#dooku#jocasta nu#jedi temple#star wars

just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.
war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.
Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.
The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.
not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.
it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)
#this widespread support has NOTHING to do w Israelis being Jewish apart from evangelicals wanting to use them as pawns for armageddon#the primary reason this is all being treated like it's ok is cuz it's useful to the usa#i feel like this post is going to bring terrible ppl into my inbox but i'm gonna leave it rebloggable for now#if our (US+EU) governments push back at all it will be because it stops being useful to us#either because Israel isn't doing this as quickly & efficiently as promised and it looks like Palestine might actually do some damage#or if it otherwise becomes too politically costly by causing too much tension between the US & other nationstates#either allies like Saudi or if states we aren't quite ready to have war w seem to be ready to throw down over it

Hot take: I actually think men and women are meant to work together and complement each other and not like,,, dislike each other and be divisive.
#gender wars#txt#unfortunately this is a hot take in today's world#specially on social media#“WeLl ACKShualLy-” you know some moron is gonna come up with an idiotic argument#that justifies why men and women MUST be separate#funny how all the people who claim to be logical and have excellent critical thinking skills throw it away when it comes to gender-related#discussions by any means necessary because they were told that they should discard all logic and be led by emotion for the “cause”

None of our hands are clean
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangshan#mianmian#The secret meaning behind one of the jin members scuttling off is:#I couldn't make three people work out in the remaining panels and per my rule of '3 attempts and take a different approach' he had to go.#Sometimes there are meaningful reasons why something happens in the background. And sometimes it is like this.#Let's just say he saw what was about to happen and got out of there before mianmian started throwing hands.#Okay no more delay. The sheer boldness to call WWX a killer in a room full of people who wear their war body count as a badge...#It's about hypocrisy yes - but it is also about how the narrative shifts on the same action depending on the frame.#Because at the end of the day...the blood on our hands is still blood on our hands.#Both the deaths on the battlefield and the deaths of the Jin's abusing the Wen remnants are still deaths caused by another.#They are also deaths that - depending who holds the frame - are noble acts to protect others.#But it isn't supposed to be about who was right and who was wrong.#It is about the need to be seen as the victim to avoid culpability.#Because if you aren't responsible you don't have to be held accountable. You don't have to grow or change.#If someone takes all the blame then there is no need to reflect on your own faults.#We have to protect our fragile ego from the mirror lest it shatter and we have to remake it anew.#Horrifically enough...even if WWX spared the Jin guards or even never ran into Wen Qing#He wouldn't have been able to escape being the scapegoat. He downfall was set into motion a long time ago.#My goodness...What a deliciously tragic story Wei Wuxian's first life was.

Tim is out here fighting to hold this family together and fix Bruce’s mental health. Gotta respect the hustle of trying to accomplish not one but two completely impossible tasks.
#unrelated to the main post the question marks over dick’s head in the panel where Tim stops him are so cute#was really tempted to post that panel solo cause I liked it so much#tim drake#red robin#batman 138#gotham war#nightwing#batman#robin#robin dc#comic panels#dc comics#original post

giving astarion a talking possum to feel bad about eating
encouraging the description of brennan's old man cleric's nipples (and tattoo)
give con rolls for flirting (stealing this its so funny)
say "this is an official game for wizards of the coast so i should play this close to the chest... anyways yeah go for it!"

The JA books and subsequent woobification of padawan Obi-Wan have people overlooking a key fact, which is the innate ability of all 14 yr olds to immediately lock onto your deepest insecurities and fucking eviscerate you. You look at TCW Obi-Wan's bitchiness and tell me he did not have this ability but dialled up to 11 cause he's also a psychic force-sensitive.
I fully believe padawan Obi-Wan was terrorising Qui-Gon, the reason that man's always running ahead and leaving his padawan behind is because he's avoiding having to explain his life choices to the galaxy's most judgemental teenager. Initiate Obi-Wan is aggressive, padawan Obi-Wan is passive-aggressive.
#this kid was fully ready to tell the master who he just acquired through the skin of his teeth to get fucked if he doesnt agree on M/D#yoda put them together cause he knows obi wan can hold his own against qui gon giving him a taste of his own medicine#qui gon post xanatos is easy pickings but it seems mean to kick a man while he's down so thats why obi wan mostly bites his tongue#obi wan kenobi#qui gon jinn#qui gon and obi wan#star wars
