Getting to play Final Fantasy and Magic simultaneously is a dream come true. But to make the experience especially dreamy, I felt obligated to at least buy the anime-style-portrait cards of my Final Fantasy waifus -- Rosa, Rydia, Tifa, Aerith, Rinoa and Yuna. Some of these cards don't have anime-style and are much cheaper, which is nice in its own way, but I wanted to show my love for these six was unbounded, which is why all six appear as waifus in '100 Waifus.' Cost was no object, and boy did I prove that.
To make matters worse I also bought Terra's anime-style card, even though she isn't a waifu, because she was too beautiful to ignore.
I've already played the new Final Fantasy magic set with 7 new decks created from a pile of new cards for days on end. I expect to get months of entertainment out of these cards in the long run. Magic never really gets old because each time you shuffle the game plays out in a novel manner. One thing I've noticed is virtually every card in the FF set is well above average strength compared to older Magic sets. Not just the mythic rares, the commons and uncommons are really strong. The new town type special lands are extremely effective compared to their rarity. Magic really pulled out all the stops to make playing Final Fantasy fun.
Don't believe Israeli propaganda -- Iran targeted a military base that was using a hospital as a human shield, not the hospital itself. It's Israel's fault if there's civilian collateral damage as a result, and in the end all civilian Israeli casualties are Israel's fault because they started the war. Israel explained for the last two years that it's okay that they bombed every single hospital in Gaza to oblivion because they were all 'Hamas bases,' so what's good for the goose is good for the gander. They can't go whining to the press now that the shoe is on the other foot.
80% of Israelis are firmly in support of the genocide in Gaza and the completely unjustified war of aggression against Iran. There are no innocent civilians in Israel, in their hearts, in their souls, they are just as complicit and guilty as the snipers headshotting Gazan toddlers for fun. They approve of it, they vote for it, they vocally support it, they fund it, they cheer it on. They're all demons, the whole damn country. I wouldn't mind if every last Israeli were bombed to smithereens in this war. When you violate the human rights of others, you forfeit your own. That's just karma. That's justice.
Zooming out, America is responsible for over 12 million deaths in its wars of choice since World War II. (Actually we started World War II as well by needlessly provoking Japan with sanctions and material support to China, and pushing for maximum aggressive diplomatic pressure against Nazi Germany which led to Poland foolishly and intransigently not ceding the town of Danzig to Germany, a city that 99% was German and wished to be part of Germany. But let's just pretend we aren't responsible for WWII and look at the wars after WWII.)
The first war was the Korean war. There never was, historically, a divide between 'North' Korea and 'South' Korea. It had always just been 'Korea.' Artificially dividing Korea into two parts, one belonging to the Communist sphere and the other the Capitalist sphere, was a recipe for war that would inevitably follow. We basically started the war the moment we took Korea from Japan and cut it in two for completely artificial reasons. Honestly, we should have left Korea under Japanese control, and going further back, we should have never went to war with Japan in World War II at all, and left China in Japanese control as well. But our intervention created the cascade of events that eventually led to the Korean war. Then we cruelly carpet bombed North Korea during the war, destroying every last city and leaving no building standing, as well as taking out their dams that led to millions of civilian deaths from flooding/starvation/disease. It was dubious that we came to the aid of the artificial South Korean dictatorship to begin with, but the way we waged the war was far more horrendous. It was the same 'kill everything that moves' plan that firebombed Dresden and nuked Hiroshima. It was completely over the top.
Next came the Vietnam war -- again a country that historically had never been divided, randomly divided in two into 'North' Vietnam and 'South' Vietnam. Again a corrupt puppet dictator was installed into the fake nation of 'South' Vietnam. And again, when the inevitable war broke out to try to reunite the country into its natural form, we intervened by carpet bombing 'North' Vietnam, killing, again, millions of civilians. The only difference is in the Vietnam war we managed to also lose, so all those deaths were for nothing.
Next came the Iraq-Iran war. We encouraged Saddam to invade Iran and provided them with the chemical weapons they used against Iranian civilians in that war, we also gave them intelligence support so that they could more effectively kill Iranians. Around 500,000 died in that war.
After that we randomly switched sides and invaded Iraq. Iraq's re-annexation of Kuwait (which had previously been part of Iraq before the British Empire randomly separated it) makes as much sense as their invasion of Iran, which we supported, but this time we decided he was an evil Hitler clone and intervened. Following the Gulf War we put in incomprehensibly crippling sanctions which led to the deaths of millions of innocent civilians, and then we invaded Iraq again in 2003 based on lies about WMD (sound familiar?). The resulting chaos led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands more Iraqis.
We armed and funded the radical Islamic terrorists that caused the Syrian Civil War. Ever since 2011, the instability we instigated has resulted in over 500,000 deaths, and of course still climbing.
We have been directly bombing Yemen for years, or helping Saudi Arabia bomb them, or helping insurgents fight a civil war in Yemen, etc., for decades. The result is at least 400,000 dead and still climbing.
We armed and funded the Neo-Nazi takeover of Ukraine, which then decided to genocide its own pro-Russian population (which had been the majority in 2010 when it won a free and fair election), and then decided to defeat Russia too when Russia obviously intervened to save its kinfolk. At least a million people have died from this completely unnecessary war, all started by murky US intelligence agencies.
The death toll in the Gaza Strip, using bombs we generously gave Israel for free, is at least 60,000.
We randomly decided to decapitate the government of Libya, leading to unending chaos from then on, and the deaths of 30,000 more people.
Around 2 million Afghans have died since we intentionally provoked the Soviet Union into going to war with it, and then armed the Taliban and Al Qaeda to fight the Soviets for us. The inevitable blowback was the same radical Islamic terrorists attacking us on 9/11, after which we invaded Afghanistan and killed more and more people for the next 20 years.
There are untold numbers of additional deaths due to our interventions in South America, the Caribbean, Africa, Southeast Asia, Yugoslavia, etc. You can say that other countries were responsible for these deaths, but it's unquestionable that none of it would have happened without America's involvement. We are the spider at the center of every web, manipulating every conflict on Earth from the shadows.
It's easy to say 'this isn't my fault, that was other people killing each other all on their own.' All you have to do is be like Switzerland, with a neutral foreign policy. You have to not arm or fund or intervene on one side or another. America intervenes, arms and funds every conflict on Earth. We never stand aside. So we are responsible for all deaths everywhere.
12 millions deaths is two Holocausts. I'm tired of hearing about the Holocaust when the actual mass murderers are motivated by 'liberal capitalist secular globalism,' not racism, imperialism, antisemitism or whatever bogeyman they trot out to demonize their political opposition. The current ideology of the west, continuous ever since the end of World War II, is far more deadly and evil than Nazi Germany. And to make matters worse, we're just getting started. In a week or so we'll start a new war with Iran, and from there who knows what we'll do next. The wars are unending, the slaughter ever-rising. The Nazi death toll stopped a long time ago with the end of Nazi Germany, but our death toll just keeps going up and up forever. Because no one has stopped us.
Somebody needs to stop the USA and its demonic little brother, Israel. If that means killing 12 million Israelis and/or Americans, then please be my guest. It would only be fair. I don't care if they're in a hospital or a barracks, the people we killed were mostly civilians too. And civilians ultimately are responsible for the decisions of their governments. If you don't want to die then don't go around butchering half the people on Earth. Is there any nation America hasn't attacked for some bullshit reason or other or have we by now done a full clean sweep? What goes around comes around. Suck it.
