  • You’d have a point if all the other examples you gesture to were also colonizing within the borders of other nations, the Kurds were explicitly screwed over by Sykes-Picot to purposefully set up the middle east for maximum civil unrest following the fall of the ottoman empire, likewise with Palestine, and Tibet is being invaded by Chinese colonists.

    All other examples you’ve listed don’t have a bunch of pasty white New Yorker saying “my ancestors lived here 3000 years ago” and kicking people out of their homes half a globe away.


  • Equating “the desire for a jewish colonial ethnostate in the middle east as part of and supported by a Christian nationalist attempt to fulfill misinterpreted prophecy about the end times” to “a people culturally connected to and practicing a 5000 year old Semitic religion” is antisemitism because it equates the brutalities of colonialism and genocide with Judaism as a whole and puts innocent Jewish people in harms way who have no desire to create a jewish colonial ethnostate.


  • So thats the thing ablut UV unwrapping the UV Sphere, because the lengths of the edges are allowed to be distorted, what should be closer to trapezoids making a bunch of slightly rounded slices can be distorted slightly to squares/rectangles without real significant distortion when applied to the object with the exception of the triangle fan at the very top and bottom.

    If we were unwrapping this to completely minimize distortion at top priority, a UV sphere would look closer to the Polyconic Map Projection.
