A big part of what makes Eva and Hideyoshi the most effective (read: dangerous) husband-wife pair in this discussion is that they're the only pair that are actually on the same page. Rudolf and Krauss both deliberately keep their wives in the dark regarding things that they really, really shouldn't. Krauss doesn't defend Natsuhi properly. Rudolf tells Kyrie to be quiet when Kyrie is the most intellectually dangerous person in the room.

But Eva and Hideyoshi have this bad cop-good cop dynamic down pat. Eva is the iron fist. Hideyoshi is the velvet glove covering it. But deep down, when it comes to money, he is just as much of a shark as she is.

yeah, he sure is

Guys for fuck's sake he took himself out of the group chat because he is a) aware that he does not have security clearance to see what they were discussing b) aware that they will use this fact to prosecute him/go after other people at his magazine. Sometimes, someone's opinion on Zionism is not actually relevant to the specific deeply insane news story they accidentally got bundled into that in a sane world would see everyone else in the group chat fired and arrested for treason, and bringing it up as it it's a mitigating factor is just being conspiratorial about da joos. You can dislike or even hate this person without doing a pepe silvia board that makes the most consequential opsec failure of the past eighty years a, what. I'm not even sure what's going on here. Is this a Mossad plot? Is that what's being claimed?

If he valued the lives of people in general he would have revealed all the intel so Yemini civilians could take shelter ahead of the attacks. But he doesn't, probably because he thinks the lives of Arabic people aren't worth anything.

Did none of you read the article????

He states:

  1. He thought the group he had been added to was a weird, sophisticated hoax for the first week he was in it
  2. When he started having suspicions it was real, he could not prove that this group was real or really had these individuals in it
  3. He did not receive any specifics about anything until 2 hours before the bombings happened
  4. He could not prove anything was going to happen before then but made sure that he was refreshing X/news sites to see if it was real - when he had that information, he left and immediately started contacting people to confirm the story

There is no way that an individual reporter would have been able to stop an illegal clandestine military operation by a very racist and hostile administration with two hours' notice. I know you want to be mad at him because you don't understand how real life works, but to act like this is a spiteful anti-Arab move on the part of Goldberg, who whatever you think of him is also quite often a critic of Israel, is straight up Qanon behavior. It's actually really impressive that this article came out within 10 days of this happening, because the Atlantic's lawyers must have been on every single word.

I don't know why you are blaming the whistleblower and not the very racist administration ordering these bombings (well, I do, but you're going to get mad if I say why).

Yeah sure I definitely believe that the fog of criticism that has popped up around this whistleblower who publicized an enormously harmful story to the Trump administration and its illegal actions overseas -- straining to redirect the conversation entirely to the personal flaws of how This One Guy Sucks and should totally be assassinated by the Trump administration for his evilness -- is absolutely genuine and organic.

I mean it's weird that these comments say exactly the same things as the MAGAts who are screaming that the dude is a traitor to America who should be shot on the grounds of being insufficiently loyal to The Leader, but I'm sure that's just a wild coincidence!

Kinzo continues to be a disgusting man, and I keep imagining the Witch in the disclaimer page stomping on his corpse after he dies.

Taking off my anger goggles for a moment to analyze the scene, this is what feminists mean when we point out that in cishet relationships a female domination kink is still in service of a man's ego.

Kinzo is begging for humiliation, for the scorn of a beautiful woman, but Beatrice (the witch/the temptress/the frigid whore) must still smile! The punishment he asks for is Kinzo's sweet reward, the fantasy of her claim on his life still a bond tying him to her. For Beatrice to kill him is for her to service him because he wants death. To kill is to fuck. To die is to be united for eternity.

This is an abuser's apologies. Making it about him. Imagining forgiveness. Imagining death. The only thing he cannot abide is silently living with his own actions until the end. Rehabilitation without rewards.

The fact Nanjo and Genji are witnessing his depravity and Kinzo doesn't even care. This is a man lost in the sexual pleasure of his own delusions.

Given that this scene is from Battler's perspective, it makes me wonder just what exactly he knows about Rosa's con artist ex. Does he really, actually think that Rosa is married, or is he just trying to throw a fig leaf on over it to be considerate? Do I even think that Battler's capable of being that tactful?

On another level, I wonder whose idea this nasty little dig was.

It does also occur to me that the extra space could be Ange's, since the bout of illness that kept her from coming was pretty sudden. Still, I think the dig at Rosa is probably more likely than it just being Ange's spot, considering... literally everything about the Ushiromiya family dynamic.

Never mind, the extra space was Nanjo's. Good grief, I'd actually forgotten about him for a minute. (And yeah, I knew Battler couldn't be that tactful.)

Well, I guess I do have another observation, since it's noted that the extended family has been sleeping in the guesthouse since the year Kinzo died: it sure is easier to keep one of the siblings from breaking into Kinzo's study and finding Kinzo's decaying corpse in Kinzo's study when they aren't sleeping in the same building as Kinzo's decaying corpse.
