So far, Trump’s handling of this has been an optical disaster. A dying fish flip flops less than him on the matter, and ultimately three immediate conclusions can be drawn (right or wrong): he over promised and has made a fool of himself; he’s protecting people on the list; he’s on the list...
Keir Starmer has not had Kemi Badenoch starved to death in prison. They are not even close to each other.
This tunnel visioning on domestic matters and culture wars is making us lose perspective.
Discussion of metaphysics is all well and good, but why would the nascent Rebellion care about any of that? They are in such a terrible position that they don’t get the option to do irrefutably good things all the time.
Lelouch is a fun protagonist, but you can tell a lot of the writing team weren’t familiar with military matters as many of his battle strategies revolve around arse pulls that completely overawe incompetent screaming aristocrats.
Solid soundtrack tho and plenty of boom boom.

I’ve never properly learned another language in my life (all I can remember of my French lessons is how to ask for chocolate. Shows my priorities…), but I find singing it can be quite helpful.
Iconoclast’s routine schizophrenia attack aside, it really is remarkable just how much tunnel visioning and motivated reasoning goes into Hebrew bashing. There are probably some diatribes against them that exceed the word count of Lord of the Rings.
