That's inhumane. Imagine the fear the soldier has to feel when civilians approach the bread line out of turn :prayingHandsEmoji::prayingHandsEmoji:

How can a soldier in a tank, backed by an entire army of ethnic cleansers, defend themselves from starving unarmed civilians trying to acquire morsels of food?

Jesus himself would shoot first and ask questions later... like 50 years from now... after the final solution is complete... in documentaries about the genocide... titled "never again, for realsies this time" ... The IDF soldiers will seek sympathy about how memories of personally murdering hundreds of innocent people has often made them feel brief moments of sadness :(

This is what every American war movie has been about.

Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people. But they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.

American movies have a strong flavor of fascism, and related, and it’s not new

Ask these guys.

OTHO, pretty sure no one needs higher auth to fire on a dude running up on your tank with a sizzling grenade. :)

Is that emoji translation accurate...?

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Looks like the original emoji was 🥵 and it was changed to 😥 in translation

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah, I use those emojis very differently, so I'm wondering if it's an accurate translation from how that emoji is used in their culture. The original, IME, means you wanna fuck

They still get the approval, they just now have to ask first.
