And you’d be correct. The only reason Israel is a tech powerhouse is them having a captive and defenseless population in which to field-test anything they come up with, AND THEN have everything paid for by the US taxpayer.

Ironically, it means the same it has always meant: resistance to colonization/imperialism/opression, it’s just that in the past it was disguised with the veil of “civilization”, and now the mask is off and you can see the naked brutal truth of how the term has always been weaponized

Watch it, pointing out israeli terrorism and war crimes is antisemitism of the highest order and will be dealt as such.

This got a very hearty snort out of me, thanks.

This has been a trope in Japanese media since forever, I wonder how it came about, since I’m pretty sure that if anyone is spitting mouthfuls of blood they are dying or very close to it

Yes, because north Koreans must have a gene for authoritarianism or something. It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with having all of its towns destroyed and 20% of its population killed by the US in a savage bombing campaign where more bombs were dropped than in the entirety of WW2, and have been under a deathly and relentless imperialist siege since.
