I don't get people who hate Omega.

I have not liked many of SW child characters, but Omega I do like. Don't know if it is because of being now older myself and just accepting some of her behaviour as just something that children are doing.

Or because she really does not annoy me.

I have genuinely loved her expressions, her ways of seeing the Universe for the first time etc.

Maybe it is because her back story is very easy to be absorbed? It is very solid as all of us, star wars fans, now know the clones and Kamino and the whole entanglement related to the relations there. As well as how they did grow up there.

She has a slot in the universe where she fits in.

I know many people had issues with Ahsoka as she first arrived, because her part was not as clear. We needed a whole Clone Wars ans a part of a complete own show to get her backstory.

But then on the other hand.

Many people had issues with Anakin.

And we all KNOW who he was going to become. And still people were whining. The acting naturally was not that good, but it kind of is not fault of an actor in many cases. And it was not all that bad, but still there were a lot of people who hated young Anakin to the guts.

It makes me wonder if that actully is a sign of the general recentment towards children. It should not be mixed up with not wanting kids.

I want to stress that it is ok to not want kids. It is ok to not want to be around kids. But still.

Hating a young character should be based of them to actually be bad characters.

Writing them as a child and them being childish is just natural. If they annoy you because of their childish qualities, that is actually because you might not like kids. Right?

Liberal western feminists would rather fight for the so called rights of TIMs (Trans Identified Males) or males than the rights of women.

They refused to support Korean women when they started 6B4T movement (a radical feminist/misandrist movement to separate themselves from males in general) all because it was trans exclusionary.

They refused to support Palestine and didn't even speak a single word for Palestinian women who are suffering the most right now because people of Palestine do not support trans movement.

They refuse to dig deeper into the history of feminism and learn about real feminism because they want to stay in denial and keep pushing the trashy third wave feminism to make it acceptable for men they're dying to sleep with.

They would only speak up for women rights when they know they're not offending anybody from their circus/western culture. They make sure of that.

But if it comes to becoming stupid little soldiers for all types of males and defending them from a misandrist woman who literally only said she hates men and would stay away from them, they wouldn't hesitate.

You know why?? Because they're aware of the fact that TIMs do not care about misogynist men as they're misogynists themselves which is why the libfems wouldn't be offending anyone while fighting non-stop for those "poor victim" men.

And even if they piss off somebody, they wouldn't care because under the huge umbrella of patriarchy, they're safe and secure. It's easier for them to defend men than to defend women.

I personally believe we should stop idolizing/worshipping western celebrities and stop giving western culture too much importance. Those white people always act like they witnessed something weird or something that's not normal when they see people from other cultures.

But we act like their society is so progressive and liberated when it's actually another conservative community of illiterate people following and imposing the modern traditions of its own.

That is one of the major reasons why liberal feminism is widespread. Any new ideology that west comes up with always deemed right in the whole world even if it contradicts science or reality.

No wonder western liberals think the world revolves around them. This delusional bubble is what we have to burst. And we can do it by not giving their culture more importance than we shall give ourselves and our beliefs.

They should know we don't need their support and we don't care about offending them. They can start a whole twitter trend trying to "cancel" us but it wouldn't matter if they're not relevant in the first place.

Even if you live in western countries, you still have every right to defy their culture. Don't forget you're living on the land of your ancestors that their ancestors illegally colonised. You belong there. You don't need their validation to feel like you do.

Just last week, pro-Palestinian Arab demonstrators tried to stop Congressmen Richie Torres and Mike Lawler, from speaking about Israeli-Arab peace through the Abraham Accords at the 92nd St Y in New York City.

Approximately twenty to twenty five protestors stood up in waves, one after the other, yelling out "Free Palestine" and "Genocide is not peace." It took about twenty minutes to clear the room. The assembled audience booed them and eventually started yelling "Get them out" and "Yeah, free Palestine from Hamas."

Torres sat on the platform entirely unfazed. Afterwards, he tweeted: "No amount of Astroturf Anti-Israel agitation is going to bully me into supporting a ceasefire that perpetuates the genocidal terrorism of Hamas. I refuse to be intimidated by a fanatical fringe that represents no one and nothing but itself."

This demonstrating-in-waves is hardly original. It is an Islamist/Marxist tactic long in use.

For example, in 2008, female students, members of the Muslim Student Association (a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood), chose to interrupt my friend and colleague Nonie Darwish's lecture about eight Iranian women who were facing execution and about Sharia law. Each hijabbed student sat at the end of each row, cleared their throats rather loudly, and then proceeded to leave, one after the other, for the bathroom. Their interruptions continued as Nonie spoke.

In 2010, ten Muslim students interrupted Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren's lecture at the University of California's Irvine campus. They continued to heckle and shout him down. "Michael Oren, propagating murder is not an expression of free speech" and "Sir, you are an accomplice to genocide." Amazingly, the students were charged, found guilty and sentenced to three years of probation, 56 hours of community service and fines.

For the last twenty years in America outside lecturers, professors, and students have been bullied, cancelled, and shut down all across America. Loud mobs have harassed politicians at their homes, on the street, and while dining out with their families.

These anti-Israel demonstrators have also disrupted High Culture.

In October of this year, at least 1,000 pro-Palestinian Arab hordes demonstrated outside the Opera House in Sydney, Australia. The government had illuminated the House in the colors of the Israeli flag following Hamas's 10/7 brutal terrorist massacre against Israeli civilians.

More recently, at the end of November, climate (!) demonstrators managed to interrupt and delay the performance of Wagner's Tanhauser at New York City's Metropolitan Opera House for one hour. In tried and true Alinsky/Marxist/Black Lives Matter/Antifa/Islamist form, the protesters sat in different parts of the audience and then, one by one, they stood, screamed, dropped banners over the balconies, resisted being escorted out.

Makes sense. Environmentalist poster child Greta Thunberg has moved on from saving the planet to "doubling down on (her) anti-Israel stance, accusing it of "genocide" in Gaza. She has taken to chanting "crush Zionism" at rallies.

I guess all those who need attention go where the action is.

Such demonstrations, delays, and interruptions are precisely what I'm talking about when I say that a Red/Green alliance is trying to destroy Western culture and civilization.

Right now, we are living through near-constant demonstrations replete with drums, megaphones, and loud and aggressive marchers; they are shutting speakers down, blocking the entrances to trains, obstructing traffic by blocking roads and bridges all over North America.

Slowly, surely, our sense of safety in public spaces is being eroded.

These "smaller" but almost continuous interruptions have begun to unravel our democratic rights to free speech, lawful assembly, civil society, and street safety. This is what I mean when I write that Islamists/Marxists are destroying Western culture and our civilization.

They must be stopped

This Ecstasy of Saint Teresa (Italian: L'Estasi di Santa Teresa or Santa Teresa in estasi) is a famous sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, a master of the Baroque style, made between 1647 and 1652. It was commissioned by Cardinal Federico Cornaro, a member of the influential Cornaro family, who wanted to glorify his family name and patron saint. It depicts a scene from the life of Saint Teresa of Ávila, a Spanish nun and mystic, who experienced a vision of an angel piercing her heart with a golden arrow, causing her both pain and joy. The sculpture is located in the Cornaro Chapel of the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome and is considered by many as one of the most expressive and dramatic works of art in the history of Western civilization.

One person who was willing to risk political suicide was the visionary systems thinker Donella Meadows—one of the lead authors of the 1972 Limits to Growth report—and she didn't mince her words. ‘Growth is one of the stupidest purposes ever invented by any culture,’ she declared in the late 1990s; ‘we've got to have an enough.’ In response to the constant call for more growth, she argued, we should always ask: ‘growth of what, and why, and for whom, and who pays the cost, and how long can it last, and what's the cost to the planet, and how much is enough?’ For decades, mainstream economists dismissed her views as foolishly radical, but they actually echo those of Kuznets, the hallowed creator of national income itself. ‘Distinctions must be kept in mind,’ he advised back in the 1960s, ‘between quantity and quality of growth, between its costs and return, and between the short and the long term. . . Objectives should be explicit: goals for "more" growth should specify more growth of what and for what.’

Dear early archaeologists,

The East exists.

Don’t complain or ignore it. It just does. No one is sorry.

Please do not subjugate it to Western ideals and philosophies. The empires of Asia were some of the most developed and impressive that the world has ever seen. Their political and material culture, especially ceramics and vessels, were internationally renowned and very influential over what you are currently studying.

Please use them as reference in your interpretations of your culture but ESPECIALLY theirs.

Okayyy, so I'm learning Mandarin/Chinese right now and I'm only a beginner HOWEVER I've learned that when they talk about the place they're from, they begin from the country, then province/family, then city. So I was thinking how we say in the West (city, then state, then maybe country) and how that's an obvious example of how culture shapes language and vice-versa, because it's clear to me how Mandarin/Chinese is shaped to reflect how community is thought first in opposition to how much more individualistic we are in the West.

I've seen a post about this some time ago but can't find it anymore so here I am to bring it back
