“And make sure to give them huge chins!”

Yes, Arabs are also semites, but the word “antisemitic” means bigotry towards Jewish people specifically regardless of what race they are. It is a misnomer, but that’s how language goes.

Now, Zionists redefining the word as being opposed to the government of Israel is another matter. That’s a bullshit definition.

The artist of that image, Ercan Baysal, is a left-wing Turkish cartoonist. The nose doesn’t look particularly different than most other characters he draws. I don’t see any evidence that it’s intended to be antisemitic in any way.

I could say the same of the rise of far-right extremism all over the world. If you don’t want it, why does it happen over and over again?

We had a Democrat in office in 2024. Shitler started Jan. 20th, 2025.

Beats me. They could have just used this.

Does it count if you barely watched/played it?

They denuvo the shit out of their games, so it’s actually pretty hard to pirate them nowadays.

Which of course makes no sense - if you don’t have the money to buy it either way, pirating has no effect on revenue.

Ah, Gaben’s “piracy is a service issue.”

The only time I see piracy as unethical is if you would have paid for it otherwise and it’s a small creator who will actually notice the lesser revenue. This covers very, VERY few cases because the vast majority of the time if something is good enough to want to pirate it, it’s popular enough that more than enough people paid for it to adequately compensate the creator.

Basically, are you hurting the creator’s ability to make a living by pirating it? Giving them less money when they already have more than enough doesn’t qualify.

Not almost, more did than any other state. More people in California also also voted for Biden than any other state!

Nope, it’s rural vs. urban.
