I can see how this would maybe help them avoid legal prosecution, but I just assume every israeli is an evil war-criminal child-killing sexual predator demon-creature unless I am given good reason to believe otherwise.
So the social ostracism of being an israeli still remains, as does the possibility of orchestrating Fresh (1994)-style schemes against them.
I strongly endorse both Psychonauts games. They both go on sale regularly too, and have GOG releases. Psychonauts 1 is a ps2-era game that has aged pretty well overall, and Psychonauts 2 is in my personal top 3 favorite games of all time, and one of the closest I've played to a "perfect" game.
I don't actually know the numbers, but I assume (and probably many Americans would also assume) that there are more English speakers in Europe than China, due to our closer cultural relationship with them, and because whiteness.
Americans don't want to have to learn a new language, especially one that seems as difficult as Mandarin. So that alone will be a huge incentive for them to prefer Europe (especially western europe).
I want to echo people's hopes that this will weaken the USA-Westoid Empire militarily, but I suspect most likely they'll move to Europe and end up working in European arms companies as part of their push to re-militarize, and the US will just buy Euro-weapons.
This is like a funnier, more sitcom version of a story I once heard of a latin american person who was brutally tortured by the police for suspected communism (because he was poor and indigenous I think?), and after being fucked with and tortured he basically become a communist for real out of spite.
Somebody keeps leaving fake bundles of $500 and some pills all over the base, triggering the natural SEAL instinct to kill and dismember your comrades for it.
Combat sports in general feel like they're in a strange place. Like, boxing and MMA seem simultaneously bigger and more popular than they've been in a while (which I attribute to the various high-profile celebrity boxing matches as well as hard times generally creating interest in fighting), but the general quality is just the drizzling shits right now.
I'm way more of an MMA viewer than a boxing viewer, but it seems like various combat sports "promotions" don't actually do a lot of promoting of their fights and fighters. I've thought this for a while now, but it's so pronounced at this point. UFC's Dana White clearly doesn't give a fuck anymore, most fighters have been expected to get themselves out there with self-promotion for years now. I don't understand why they aren't pushing the hell out of people like Aspinall and Pantoja and especially Topuria.
As far as the future trajectory, I think it's only going to get worse, especially in heavier weight classes where they have to compete with stick-and-ball sports for talent (the only way they could compete is by paying way more, and fuck no they won't do that).
Most of the joy I derive from combat sports right now is going back and watching old stuff, learning about fighters I wasn't around for, etc.
I hope the pro-genocide streamers someday get executed like the Dur Sturmer guy. I fucking hate these annoying creeps and their toady piece-of-shit fanbases.
israelis are some of the worst people our species has ever produced. Anything bad that happens to israelis, I am unable to feel bad about in the slightest.
The line I hear is that organized crime is likely to follow the money, and since the capitalists have more money, they could be too easily bought off and used as a contra-like force against a revolutionary movement.
I've wondered if something like that might be done to Mexico at some point with their cartels.
