I thought it was surely just a joke but looking at the devices to the right maybe this was due to limited desk space?

You don't get these numbers without a complete disregard for civilian life, the rate they are killing average Gazans is astounding, they are only barely upholding a thin veil of plausible deniability.

Israel is an ethno-state, people fighting on behalf of Israel want to eradicate Palestinian people. This doesn't have anything to do with Jewish people in general. To conflate Israel with Jewish people is itself antisemitic.

He has a disability/issues that he was sentenced to a hospital for, he can be released if he is deemed not a danger to himself or others, he was also physically violent apparently and they are giving him treatment in a secure setting. I don't know if the place he is going is good or anything about the treatment but it's not exactly a prison life sentence.

The post itself says "there are plenty of valid reasons to be into WW2" and says it's the caution zone, not that you can't be into it. And anyway, I am pretty sure this wasn't intended as a literal litmus test for fascist tendencies or something, but a jokey observation of how sometimes the person super into Wermact tactics and technology might probably like them too much

It doesn't imply anti-intellectalism from my view, the post says things like Prussian military history and specifically the treaty of Versailles type obsessions, which is quite a bit different than being interested in history like the printing press or indigenous displacement, Spanish Civil War, etc

It's funny that it's a macro of an insect too, a tough thing to capture well for even a good photographer.

Not really related at all but I was looking for what we would wear today had Levis not come around and for some reason this photographer went with Industrial-era child factory worker aesthetic https://i.pinimg.com/originals/03/70/46/0370468b26eacf089d5642f390244b49.jpg

I felt similar with the Candyman that he wrote, directed by Nia DaCosta. Though I felt a bit more unsettled with the body horror elements. I didn't hear much when it came out, I don't think it was very popular, but it has some themes of revenge against the racist power structure. The soundtrack was nicely done as well.
