Felix is a vindication of type A personalities. And he is the archtype person of a few people I knew: his demeanor, speech, and vocabulary gave me a negative example - what I should strive not to be - in terms of motivation.

Whole podcast was at its peak pre Biden and COVID, so if you aren't interested now, then don't bother with it.

These people are worms who lead insignificant lives. Activists don't even need to outnumber them. They just need to keep pressing.

Not very. Your expectation is the cause and effect in reverse. Israel is necessary for US dominance, so the US fabricates reasons to legitimize Israel.

The US state does not respond to democratic inputs unless the leverage is overwhelming; the right does not really have this leverage in evangelical votes to make the state support Israel; support of Israel is in fact, support of the US state. Israel is a surrogate to ensure and extend US regional dominance in the ME.

If the US does not find Israel useful and instead antagonistic to its interests, it'd excise Israeli lobbies and influences in a heartbeat.

What made Vinland Saga interesting to me was Thorfinn's character arc as an interesting examination on the futility, emptiness, and chaos of living for a life of vengeance and retribution.

The anime wasn't really for me either.

I didn't watch the anime except for that episode because that was my favorite part of the early manga. And since I read the manga a while back during its initial release, it flowed much faster. The manga did have some author-commentaries detailing how much he hated the Norse/Viking culture too.

What I found interesting about Vinland Saga is that it seems to be one of the few stories in anime that has fleshed out story, characters, and themes. No doubt it's interesting to people who come across it because no one seems to read anymore and discover entire stories, sagas, and series that have those detailed and vivid qualities found in exceptional literature.

I liked Canute's revelation of God and the true meaning of love. Shame he didn't go back to Denmark and build Legos though.

Is there a "Blackwolffeed" for Trillbilly's podcast?

 

I'm primarily referencing the people in the Kyle Rittenhouse post from a day ago, but as a general reference for the remainder of Hexbear.chat threads and forums where we have apologists for fascists and reactionary politics, policies, figures, and dog whistles.

In the context of this forum, or the internet in general, they are trolls. Their inciteful and hateful remarks are not made in good faith, and are meant to inspire frustration and attention.

Ideally, spamming pigpoopballs should be the response to bad faith trolls but sunlight is not the best antidote to their poison - removal of their poisonous dialogue is the best antidote.
