how do you do this while thinking you're the good guys

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

They know they’re pieces of shit. They’re proud of being the bad guys. The fact that they’re protected by the US government at all levels while being the worst people on earth is a rush for them.

🤷 The same way the Brownshirts did, I imagine.

Wasn't israel doing this with drones to try and lure people out of their homes to shoot them? Settlers continue being normal.

Not just trying. Succeeding.

Yes, stuff so evil it's hard to believe it's real. But it is, and all zionists will get the wall for this.

As a way to make her talk, Meero orders an ISB worker to use an audio torture device on Bix that continuously plays the dying screams of children over and over through a pair of headphones. The screams come from an Imperial genocide that took place on the planet Dizon Frey, with the native Dizonites being culled by the Empire during colonization efforts and the construction of a refueling center.

"The massacre of the Dizonites was broadcast and recorded as proof of mission," the ISB worker says. "They make a sound as they die — a sort of choral, agonized pleading. It's quite unlike anything anyone has ever heard before." According to the worker, a trio of communications officers monitoring the broadcast were later found in various states of emotional distress. He tells Bix: "We've taken the recordings and modified them slightly. Layering, adjusting. And we found a section of what we believe are primarily children, which has its own particular effect."

I had this in mind too, and this time I don't even feel bad for comparing real life to le epic series, because we're just pointing it out, these motherfuckers are the ones actually doing it.

Fascists continue to be, among other things, really fucking cringe and tryhard in their emulation of fictional bad guys.

I suspect the Andor writers did their homework. It echoes so many RL colonialist and revolutionary narratives.

I'm confused. Were the pro israel mob trying to say something like "hamas kills babies" or were they dabbing on people who know about israel's lure tactics with this kind of sound?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

They are dabbing. They are openly celebrating the genocide.

We enjoy the sound of crying children, maybe?

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Imagine if the pro-Israel mob chanted this: "We're gonna cosplay as Israeli murder drones in Gaza. You are evil! We are perfectly normal!"

[–] D61@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Waiting for the Zionist tiki torch march and chants of "You will not replace us!" as they surround pro Palestinian/anti genocide protesters.

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

The videos of the pro-Israel brownshirts look like the most insufferable fucking meat head frat boys that you can imagine. Can't say I'm surprised in the slightest.
