Hey liberals, you know how you love to compare politics to movies and TV?

You know how in Andor the rebels commit an audacious robbery knowing that the Imperial reaction will be swift and brutal? How innocent civilians will bear the brunt of that?

And yet the crime occurs anyway because the Rebel leaders know that the overreaction will fuel their movement?

How exactly do you think liberation movements work anyway?

I was thinking the same thing

didn't these liberal motherfuckers love Avatar??? oh so its okay when Jake Sully fights back but its bad when Yaqub Al-Suli does it??

when the Avatar video game was announced, a big part of the backlash was "why can't we play as the invading humans?"

I think a bunch of people who watched it think the cigar chomping marine guy was aspirational

(and coincidentally, Stephen Lang, who played that character, also played George Pickett and Stonewall Jackson, so, you know)

It's nearly noon and the IDF has made zero inroads in retaking the recently occupied territory. Everybody keeps saying that they would roll over Hamas and Gaza by the morning.

I think most people in the west, regardless of what side they're on here, don't actually understand how the military situation on the ground has changed here. Everybody is assuming this is a spat and its going to be over soon. The narrative is that Hamas is just making a desperate but ultimately doomed attempt to score a PR win. Nobody seems to entertain the idea that maybe, just maybe Hamas has a plan for a military victory that they take seriously.

didn’t the IDF get its rear end kicked when it last fought a major military op in 2006 Lebanon?
they have some pretty insane PR guys to keep up their image as super soldiers when all they’ve done since is play camp guard

I'm just lashing out a little bit but like, just how loving stupid do you have to be to look at the last 2 decades of anti-insurgency failures to think that because a war is asymmetric that the larger conventional power is guarantied to win the conflict? Hello, where is your object permanence? The IDF is not invincible, they can in fact lose a war. They can in fact be forced to the negotiating table through military failure and defeat. War is not just one people annihilating another, other outcomes are possible.

the current crop of russian "losers" are supersoldiers versus the 3 IDF brigades (including the "best" golani brigade) who couldn't take a town (bint jbeil) just 1km away from the border defended by only 150 hez militamen for a month

The Viet-Minh lugged heavy artillery up mountains with nothing but ropes and manpower and sheer force of will and overcame the French colonizers . Anything is possible.
