It's shocking to me that there hasn't been an Israel/Judea Civ in 6 iterations of the game. And yet, with everything going on in that corner of the world now, most of my hope for an Israel Civ in Civ 7 is mostly gone. It rather stupid, I think, because there is no other logical choice for a representation of Jewish culture (while there are many for Christianity and Islam). Those of us who want a Israel Civ do not necessarily support the modern Israeli government; but tend to be very interested in ancient Israel. Yet, I can only imagine the outcry if Firaxis added it now.

On a different note: I think Ukraine and Tibet are completely different situations. A Ukraine Civ would be absolutely awesome, and I'd love to see Firaxis snub Russia by doing this. Give them Volodymyr the Great as a leader.

As for Tibet, (also the case with Taiwan, Manchuria, and East Turkestan) there is no real controversy, except for one solely manufactured by the Chinese government. Firaxis, like most capitalist businesses, would rather get money than stand on morals.

It's worth noting that many Americans would welcome more Native American Civs or even civs based on states; but compare this to the Chinese government's reaction.

Just in case someone gets offended by my take: I have no issue with Russian, Chinese, Palestinian, or Israeli people. Their governments on the other hand? I do. Big time.

emphasis mine lmao

I saw it so you should too

"accused" you can't get accused, this isn't fucking any doubt, if it's the same words he did plagerize it lmfao fucking goddamn even with pointless shit like this journalists are spineless cowards

Putin bugged obamas microwave again I see

No fundamental change was made from that which precipitated the rise of the nazis, nothing will stop it from precipitating more, the underlying systems must be destroyed

The west didn't create SA from the ground up to use as a geopolitical tool, I'm sure they found them useful but not on the same level

Unless I'm wrong and they did, I don't know a huge amount about SA beyond that the Boer wars are a thing and white people be doin white people shit

Slave owners are bad too

Hopefully a bullet too

My nipples are very tender I keep hurting them when I buckle my seatbelt 😭

Every zionist should be murdered

Aaahahahaha sent this to my partners

It is the moral imperative of all living humans to strive to murder Elon must as soon as possible

Was it indiscriminate, like random civilians blew up from this? Or was it targeted via military equipment etc, thats what I'm askin I think

talking out my ass, I'm guessing its because oxygen is an energetic and highly reactive element, and therefore it can do lots of things and it does them really well (or at least strongly), or in general was just the best most direct means to accomplish the energy intensive tasks that were required given the biosphere we evolved in? I'm not sure how common/ vital oxygen consumption was before that one mass extinction where algae became overabundant and oxygenated the atmosphere and caused a mass extinction, it could have been a result of adaptation to that new condition- though I doubt this is the case

instead of using pooled resources to create a new program which would educate and gainfully employ thousands or tens of thousands (idk how big a task this is as I'm tech illiterate but I'm blindly assuming its on the scale of the US national highway system when first implemented) they're going to use a robot to make bad code

capitalism is very efficient

lol

Pretty sure 99% of global presidents were and are war criminals
