Thank you for the explanation. Unfortunately I can't reach the link. It seems the generation of the symbolism originates in the extremist groups, so I'm wrong in pointing the connection to the other side.

However, I'm still strongly against historic revisionism through whitewashing some elements and making appropriate depictions a taboo, whether in books or in cultural elements like games, video, or other things. The more we separate these things as strict black and white things, the more we are numbed to the gradual shift in the evil's direction. Making things taboo and learned underhand via shady gatherings or groups only serves them, does not help rationally put that knowledge into the right mental place.

The font resembles it after someone made the connection and put it forward as obvious, but still it is just some extreme connection imo. What are they gonna do next, ban the symbol from history books or popular games like Wolfenstein?

Also, (deep sigh) what does 88 symbolize? Care to inform the "ignorant"?

Ah, nice. Sand idiom does not ring a bell, but the "asleep" is quite common probably. In Turkish, the word for numb (uyuşmak) is actually derived from the word for sleeping (uyumak), so just wanted to share that, too.

Which country/language? In Turkish, the idea is similar but the wording a bit different, "karıncalanma" (being ant-y) is commonly used. Same thing is also used for when a body part goes numb due to having it in weird position for some time, like sleeping with your arm under your body or sitting on the toilet too much and having your legs be numb.

There is also "parazit yapma" (making/doing parasites) used for the television thing.

Yeah, we know how it went with Africa. Sure. You'd like to do that from the comfort of your home, right?

Anesthesia? You mean going to a hospital? Is Bibi a Hamas leader? Will IDF bomb and assault the hospital?

This is definitely a huge improvement in the face of the last year's general election. It goes to show that even if people still didn't believe in a proper alternative to Erdoğan as a president, they are fed up with his party AKP's governing in their cities and towns.

More than 20 out of 81 provinces/states in Turkey changed hands this time, both in governors and city councils.

The main opposition party, secular and founding party of modern Turkey, CHP, has finally seen a very sharp rise in local governing popularity after not being able to win some cities for more than 50 years. It didn't lose any major city government or councils to right-wing AKP or other parties, although it lost a few smaller ones due to uncommon events, like electing to continue with the same controversial governor in earthquake stricken Hatay.

Another notable thing is that the Kurdish party has consolidated its local government in the mostly-Kurdish populated east provinces of the country. This has been the trend in the last few elections after AKP's popularity faded in the region, but Erdoğan decided to use his emergency powers he gained after 2016's controversial coup attempt to appoint his own party's nominees as governors instead. This election sees the elected Kurdish governors gaining their seats back.

One last notable thing to talk about how YRP, a rather more conservative, shariah law touting party, is growing in AKP-heavy central provinces. They had gained a few seats in the parliament last year, after forming a coalition with AKP.

As the article says, 2 local governors of the major cities, Ekrem İmamoğlu in Istanbul and Mansur Yavaş in the capital city Ankara, have won the elections once again in landslide vote differences (~10 and ~28 respectively). They both are and have been the main opposition CHP's candidates these last 2 local elections, and are seen as the primary candidates for the next presidential election in 2028, with the political atmosphere being unable to generate any popular candidates in AKP due to the shadow of Erdoğan looming heavy.

With the guidance maybe you can pinpoint a car or a person, but it won't matter as long as the payload is still destructive enough the level city blocks.

What talking points these entities have been spreading this time? I haven't heard any tangible thing from neither Russia nor China, that would warrant an unconditional support for Israel by the US. Only Iran has been notably active in this matter, but even that is via proxies and not directly towards Israel's land integrity. US could just simply anchor their carrier strikes groups and no other action would be needed. How does that justify giving out tonnes of heavy destruction bombs to Israel?

It looks more like a classroom setting with the teacher eating a whole menu during an exam for spite. The blackboard (green thing) and the eraser looks like that.

Filling hospital complex or residential block sized craters with the dozers will be quicker now that bodies and debris will be just some small ramps around the craters, ready to be pushed in without any problem. It is no better than carpet bombing the city, just the delivery and saturation is different but the result is the same.

Fuck you Genocide Joe. Even as an outsider, I hoped you'd reflect your domestic reforms to the US' international genocidal approach and clean your hands a little, but it seems you are as much a Zionist genociding zealot as Bibi.

Fuck your American prosperity and freedom. I hope Trump gets elected and fucks you all in the ass while fading your international shenanigans tremendously. Fucking tired of your "If not Biden, it is Trump. If not the US, it is Russia or China." all the while perpetuating the horrors you say as fear-mongering campaigns against others.

It definitely is a fun one!

But you do in assessing proper reaction and punishment to the perpetrator. The wording used to the victim is a thin ice to thread and can be a lot different, completely for good reasons. The wording used to put the perpetrator on trial, especially if it appeals to the jury via public awareness, needs to be very specific, and any deviations from using exact words with right connotations is either used to lighten the crime or make it more vile than it perceptible is.

And tastes like water, as how I like it.

Man tbh that can work out to be a nice metaphor for OPs situation.

You'll all realize your potential!

"Resolution to enforce the condition is promptly vetoed by the US for the 16th time." Or something very similar would be your answer, probably.

1 year with total blockade on aid and raining down bombs is long enough for life in Gaza to end and Israel to begin settling it over the bones of infants. Sounds good enough for American Zionists to effectively invade and occupy the whole land while saving face through the "we took precautions while regarding UNRWA's integrity" narrative.
