But Klingons and Romulans actually are different. The Monty Python joke is that swallows are migrating birds so the difference between European swallows and African ones isn’t a difference in species or at least individuals but season. They live in summer in Europe and in winter in Africa.
Or am I missing the joke and Romulans and Klingons use the same ships for some reason?
You got it wrong. Dude didn’t try to convince us but themself.
The genitive is consistently not written with an apostrophe for pronouns, for good reason.
Which is? You can’t just pretend there is a reason and hope people will give it a pass.
Want the pronoun “he” to be “hi’s” as a possessive?
But “his” isn’t “he” + “s”, neither historically nor morphologically (
look at the vowel, it’s different
)
Historically, the possessive form both masculine and neuter singular was “his” in Old English and Middle English until “it’s” replaced the neuter form in late 16c. with a clear genitive 's ending. Even later (19c.), the apostrophe became less common but there is no good reason not to revive it. source
But I guess you’re not too much into etymology or historical linguistics. Most pendents aren’t because once people look too much into it, they realize how anti-science their smoggery is and they adopt a more descriptive and non-judgmental view. Take that from a former pedant.
Israel’s genocide for 40+ years
Needless to say that the genocide started earlier. In terms of weapon supply, Germany was number one in the 50s until the US started to see the usefulness and overtook us by far.
you will literally never convince me that it’s not the most important player.
I never said that. The US is the biggest player outside Israel by all metrics. What I’m saying is that it’s not the only player. I’m still convinced that it wouldn’t be possible to the degree it is done today without Germany and many others.
focus on the only one who openly calls for the genocide to continue
But that’s quite a few, including in Europe. In Germany, you can be deported for denying Israel’s right to exist. Annalena Bärbock, the former “feminist” minister of foreign affairs, said that civilians lose their privileges when they are used as human shields and she’s expert in international law so she knows this isn’t true. She later denied that she ever said it after being elected into the UN which is even worse since there are records of that.
The reason why I focus so much on Germany is that I happen to live there. There is no reason for me to focus on a government I have no influence on. I’m not going to protest a government on the other side of the pond and I have reasons enough to boycott the US already. The little influence I have, I have on my government. There is no use in finding the worst and ignoring the rest. There is more than one battle to be fought.
Etymologically, it’s the genitive s, always has been. Since genitive s is usually written with an apostrophe, there is no reason not to do it with pronouns
Germany voted for ceasefire and for making food a human right in 2024.
That’s the difference between killed children on 0 kcal per day and killing children on 500 kcal per day. A temporal ceasefire is no end of genocide.
the US is fully in charge of the situation.
No, Israel is in charge of the situation. The difference of the US and Germany is one of quantity and not of quality. Germany never paused weapon supply.
It’s not one single villain but many people who could stop it and the problem is colonialism and imperialism. We shouldn’t individualize the topic but think in systems. Even if Netanyahu wasn’t in charge, someone else would continue the genocide with support of the Western World, what ever that might mean.
If you’re cold, they are cold. Let them in.
I’m pretty sure, Netanyahu could have stopped it as well or other people in Israeli government. Also, while the US is the largest supplier, it’s far from the only one. The second largest is Germany and the whole German political establishment is Zionist, including the Green Party and parts of The Left. Since the genocide, there have been 2 government coalitions and in total 4 parties each of them could have vetoed German weapon supply.
I’m not saying Biden or the US are innocent but it’s not only them. Israel is part of the broader Western imperialism.
I think they are talking about Gaza. Biden didn’t start the genocide there but without US weapons, it wouldn’t be possible
