I haven't tried, but you might have better luck with the DODI repack, they tend to work better on linux than the fitgirl ones from what I've heard.

I think it's more similar to the red scare in the way that people are trying to get people fired/deplatformed that hasn't really happened since except maybe post 9/11. Although it is for sure genocide denialism.

I think it's funny to imagine a real person who would have been swayed by a WaPo endorsement. the-democrat the-republican

Today the Youtuber BadEmpanda released a video titled "Genocide: The Dumbest Crime (Why There's No Bosnian Genocide)" and the premise is more or less that having the technical classification of Genocide often has been used to take away from discussion of the actual atrocities and instead debate whether something is technically Genocide or not. And obviously any reasonable person would consider this a Genocide, but it did make me think of how ridiculous something like Kamala talking about her opinion on whether killing at the very absolute minimum 40,000 people fits a definition instead of having to justify why she supports the deaths of 40,000 people.

Do you want to know something funny? The term Sabra comes from the name of the prickly pear cactus plant in Hebrew and the settlers assumed the cactus was a native plant to the territory. So they thought a plant represented them that they assumed was native to the land, but actually was not at all native to the land.

Since the early days of Jewish immigration to then-Mandate Palestine, Israelis have called the ideal Israeli, who is born in the country, a sabra: tough on the outside like the thorny fruit, soft on the inside like its sweet flesh, and native to the soil like the plant. (Although like many Israelis, sabra is actually an immigrant, having arrived from the Americas via Spain several centuries ago.)

Well hopefully even if he doesn't do anything, people get together support them while they are banned, it's really just the Palestine version of the red scare, they are only being disciplined for being pro Palestinian, I don't think the higher ups at twitch are dumb enough to think they are actually antisemitic or whatever they are being accused of.

He could at least cover all of Frogan + co's Twitch salaries for the month they are banned similar to a strike fund. (edit) It is his podcast cohost from leftovers who is running this smear campaign so he does have some responsibility here especially since he made money from leftovers working with Ethan.
