Heard some US army dude say something about propaganda; that often as not the point is to produce absurd propaganda, so that it calls reporting on both sides into question.
If your side makes some absurd claim about the enemy killing their own civilians for not clapping or whatever, and the enemy points out your real war crimes, then, while your fanatics might believe you anyway, the response of the Educated Moderate would be: ‘Well, there’s a lot of misinformation going around, so it’s not really possible to know the facts for sure’ - tacitly going along with your goal of muddying the waters, and feeling like they’ve outsmarted you for it.
Funnily enough, very applicable to Radio Free Whatever and its absurd reporting with, say, the DPRK.
how is isis different from hamas?
Gonna make it easy and comprehensible:
ISIS or DA'ISH is a transnational terror organization consisting of Iraqi Baathists, former Syrian rebels or moderates, recruited fighters from all over the world, former US captives in Iraq, and oppressed and disenfranchised Sunnis. Wahhabi in nature, ISIS subscribes to the literalist tradition of Islam. Their religious verdicts are based on the literal interpretation of the Qur'an and Sunnah, rejecting metaphorical exegesis. They aim to establish a global caliphate, seeking to eliminate anyone who opposses it regardless of religious or ideological differences. They see their cause as a hastening of various Islamic end time prophecies in their interpretation of Islamic eschatology. Like many Salafis, they reject Taqlid, which is to conform to one of the four schools of thought in Sunni Islam. On top of that, they reject religious innovations (Bid'ah), which is the idea that anything introduced to the religion without any religious basis is heresy. Whether it be practical or theological, they deem any Muslim who engage in Bid'ah to be an apostate or heretic. They are notorious for their intolerance of non-Muslims and application of Takfirism (excommunication). Christians had to pay the Jizya (poll tax) in their territories, while in other cases, they were murdered, expelled and had their churches destroyed or converted. They have no tolerance for Shi'a Muslims and will kill them on the spot (see: Speicher Massacre), and will often target them with IEDs or suicide bombers. Non-Muslims, like the Ezidis or Ahlul Haqq, were often subjected to execution whereas their women and children were either married away, converted or used as sex slaves. DAESH is not interested in national liberation, seeing it as a blasphemous innovation. DAESH does not consider Hamas to be Muslims due to struggle for national liberation which is supported by Iran and various Shi'i proxies.
Hamas is a political and military resistance group that consists of Palestinians. After the failures of the Oslo accord, Hamas broke away from PLO and formed their own political party. They either subscribe to the Shafi'i school of thought or some form of Ikhwani Salafism (Salafism as envisioned by the Muslim Brotherhood). They're a semi-governmental power in Gaza and are responsible for upholding the social and civil institutions, such as hospitals, schools and etc. Hamas' specific aim is localized and seeks to destroy the Zionist entity in order to form a one-state solution under an Islamic emirate or Islamic democracy. Their only enemy is Israel and any of its allies. As of the Hamas charter of 2017, they do not have an intolerance for non-Muslims or people of different religious and ideological comportments, as seen by them holding ties with both Shi'a and Socialist militias, such as Hezbollah and the PFLP/DFLP. Hamas is concerned with the national liberation of Palestine and the Palestinians. They are not concerned with global jihadism like ISIS nor do they carry out attacks internationally.
Im always saying this
ohh that's how u pronounce it okay I been callin this poor girl a slur
Couple hours into “space Fallout: NV”. Havin’ some decent fun with it at the moment, not blown away but still interested in seeing it through. Side note, can’t tell if I’m just bad at resource management or if it’s cause of early game hard mode enemy hp, but I burned through my heavy ammo pretty quick. Also, hoping I’ll be able to beat the highest ranking members of corporate to death with my bare hands.
I am no longer the same person I was one game ago

I want a hug more than anything. Its so exhausting playing this masculine role and being a "son" to maintain what few relationships I have in life. Not even talking strictly romantically, just having someone in my daily life who understands and supports me and could give me a hug now and again would lighten the heavy burden of daily life.
