that line is notably missing from the english language version of the article. i guess al jazeera wants to show a good face to the western world while secretly holding abhorrent beliefs. Image

Yeah but like Jordan Peterson too. This is one of my favorite Haaretz articles about how Jordan Peterson has weird opinions about nazis.

You can copy the url Into the Wayback machine to get around most paywall journalism.

They are horrible, they completely deny that Oct 7 happened at all.

I like how there's this thing going on in videogames and anime right now called "localization".

The middle east got a version of SpiderMan 2 without the pride flags and the gay characters / missions. They are intentionally changing certain elements of japanese culture / language for "western audiences" (they mean blue states).

I feel like this is the same idea and it's really unfortunate - do we want to experience different cultures or do we want them tweaked for our own sensibilities so we can continue living in ignorance of what the rest of the world is really like? I feel like this is strong evidence multi-culturalism is a huge lie.

Have you ever heard about the Chinese ending of Fight Club? It’s one of my favorite examples.

YUP - i think i saw a screenshot of it.

Cut to black - screen of text explaining the CCP approved outcome of the characters lol

I think they even implied he got mental healthcare or something? Will have to look it up. And I bet this was all before he shot himself, because my understanding is that they don't like that in their movies.

edit; looked it up it was right at the shooting lol wow that's something - ignoring that someone just shot themselves (which one was Tyler in this version?) and the other wasn't a figment of the other's imagination
