Hi! Today i got a flashback about a game i was playing as a kid. This might help - I live in Poland, game might been delivered via some sorto fo gaming magazine as a gift on CD. Under I'll wrote everything that I remember from the game:
- 2D graphic, crappy textures to look like 3D
- Few, short missions like find a secure road without mines, or build a well, deliver something with heli. Gameplay was really short and bad :P
- There was a lot of text or cutscenes saying that WHO/UNESCO/UN/AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL doing a great job in AFRICA/MIDDLE EAST - i'm didnt sure which one is correct.
- I think that on the CD there was a promo graphic of volounteer.
Thank you for every help. I'll also try to find it somewhere in the attic, maybe after 10 years i'll find it

The talk of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, it got me thinking. There aren’t many examples in the post-WW2 era where one state lost a war but continued in power, having signed a peace treaty where it ceded land to another.
There are a few grey areas though, for example the most recent war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, however Armenia wasn’t ceding its own territory. Iraq annexed Kuwait in its entirety having deposed the government in 1990, so that’s not the same as what I’m asking either. Collapsing states like Yugoslavia in the 90s isn’t quite the same dynamic either.
So, as a thought experiment, let’s imagine Russia invades Ukraine and scores a quick victory, capturing Kiev in a month. The Ukrainian government flees to Lviv, but soon signs a peace treaty ceding lands in southern and eastern Ukraine to Russia (this is only an example, the plausibility of this specific situation isn’t important to the broader question). The treaty is ratified by the Rada and the Duma.
Would the international community accept this? Would the EU and US find some way to not recognise it even if the Ukrainian government did?
The Republic was once a much more peaceful place and some of us are continuing to try to make it that way. I would like to invite anyone, regardless of party/ideology, to join this Movement for Peace to help brainstorm and find peaceful and diplomatic ways to solve problems. If you are interested in joining, please contact me.
So the international left has basically been championing the Palestinian cause since 1948, and while I understand why they want to bring attention to Palestinian suffering, they portray the Israel-Palestine conflict in an inaccurate way, which I believe is impeding peace.
In a nutshell, the when the left portrays the Israel-Palestine conflict, they portray it as Israel being this Western White Supremacist country that is historically the equivalent of England or France, and has started this settler colonial project in Palestine in which they are oppressing brown Palestinian people. Where the left is wrong is that while they are correct that Israel has oppressed Palestinians in some ways, Israel is not a white-supremacist country because about 50% (or even more) of Israel's population is Sephardic (the term used to describe Jews who are descended from people from North Africa and the Middle East), and most of the Sephardic Jews came to Israel after the state of Israel was founded because many Arab and Muslims countries were angered by the state of Israel being founded and many Palestinians being expelled and ethnically cleansed from their homes by Zionist militias, and they took their anger out on their Jewish communities by massacres, pogroms, and expulsions. If you want to learn more about the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries, watch this video here.
So, many Sephardic Jews were forced to go to Israel, and since they now make up over half the country and have positions in the government and military, to say that Israel is a white supremacist country that is the equivalent of England or France is just not true, because much of its population are descended from Middle Eastern and North African refugees who either left because they were expelled and/or persecuted.
While Sephardic Jews were persecuted in their native countries, they also were persecuted in Israel by Israel's Ashkenazi elites. So, they were persecuted by the two main sides fighting each other in the Arab-Israeli conflict (Israel's Ashkenazi leaders and the leaders of Arab governments). In the early 1970s, a group of Sephardic Jews in Jerusalem formed a group called the Israeli Black Panthers that protested against the Israeli government and society discriminating against them. In fact, at first, the Black Panthers sought an alliance with the Palestinians because both Palestinians and Sephardic Jews were being discriminated

Valerie Solanas and her SCUM manifesto weren't the first, nor the last, and while some argue she's fringe, when such things come out, we generally see mostly outpour of support from feminist groups, like the NOW that praised her as exemplary feminist after her release shooting of Warhol, and so on. That was only one piece of the big feminist history of supporting people who pushed misandristic propaganda and policies.
Those, we are familiar with. What we are less familiar with is the feminist protest against those. So that's what I invite feminists to show us : we are told that many/most feminists are opposed to misandry. Show us the protests against it. Show us the feminist journalists that wrote against Armange's "moi, les hommes je les hais", Susanna Danuta Walters "why can't we hate men" or the UN Women's award for the Duluth model as exemplary of good DV action. Show us the Twitter shit storm that resulted by feminists opposed to those blatant exemples of manhating, like feminist know so well to create when it's to oppose transphobia.
Show us some feminists rising in support of men against the misandrists in their movement!
That would be a great way to celebrate international men's day, and possibly to earn back some of the lost reputation those people cost the movement.
