Addendum: Factorio is I think a cool example of a morally imperfect narrative done well, you play as the antagonist but its pretty unambigously anti colonialism and anti exponentially using up an entire planets resources. Its a tragedy every game of factorio you eventually lose if you play long enough all there is to do is run out of resources faster and faster

Its like the game Universal Paperclips in that way

Factorio also kind of vilifies bugs by playing on the disgust factor, but even after playing it I'm on the bugs side

When you allow depravity you'll find what you had will turn to shit....

@ryumac.bsky.social
The withdrawal of 4 countries, 3 of which have participated for more
than 60 years, 1 of which has been there since the very beginning in
1956, wasn't enough.
Eurovision was created to unite a war-torn Europe. Now it has been torn
apart by war and genocide. 2/2

I have been following Eurovision for a decade and a half.

The last couple years felt completely joyless, and | was watching only
out of hope that things might get better.

Looks like things are just gonna keep getting worse.

Eurovision Death Spiral to Culture-Wash a Genocide. Thanks Israel...

Am | right in thinking this?

The #Eurovision budget is already set and as Spain and the Netherlands
especially go, that shortfall has to be filled.

This is about to get really expensive for a lot of smaller countries that
take part. They may be forced to drop out due to the price tag.

& β€œBanning Israel from Eurovision would be collective punishment” yes
that's what would make it effective. Talk to a white South African above
the age of 50 about the sports ban and it becomes immediately apparent
the impact things like this can have.

It's a big message to all the peoples of Europe about who is in charge and who can fuck off.

What a 70th Anniversary, will there even be an 80th at this rate? Could the current management care? They've already lost four countries for the sake of one unpopular, cheating one.... what sort of values are those?

WT if you care more about "neutrality" and including ONE country that has
been a menace to the contest in the past two years than the participation
of 4+ countries who have been in the contest since the beginning with
minimal issue, it was never about neutrality. fuck the ebu.

Spain had not skipped a contest since joining in 1961. The Netherlands
were one of the original seven. Ireland is a 7-time winner. The ESC is
losing some really important countries in the fabric of its history.

An important detail in the EBU
response

Mark Savage

Music correspondent
Amidst all the drama, there’s a small detail in
the EBU’s press release that sheds some light
on why many countries were keen to keep
Israel’s broadcaster, Kan, in the contest.
During a "wide-ranging discussion", it says,
fellow broadcasters "took the opportunity to
stress the importance of protecting the
independence of public service media and the
freedom of the press to report, not least in
conflict zones such as Gaza".
That’s because Kan is independent of Israel's
government, and has often found itself at
odds with Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s administration.
But Kan’s association with Eurovision is
believed to have protected it from threats of
closure or funding cuts - because the
government recognises the positive PR power
of taking part in the contest.
If Israel had been excluded today, there's a
future in which the country’s access to an
independent press could have been limited.

Huge support to those countries standing by their word and dropping

Eurovision is something else that Israel has murdered in front of our eyes.

Remember, it's 'Anti-Semitic' to resist Zionism, moral high ground over there...remember.....

Eurovision truly was one of the things | loved most, a proper joyful
celebration of everyone coming together and sharing a love of music
and culture.

Today | think it's died a death with the EBU's decision and it's saddened
me so much that they could have avoided this my listening to the public.

In fact the pundits in the UK will call you 'Anti-Semitic' for boycotting Eurovision, and they will get the platform while opposing voices do not.

Andrew Phelan @aphelanoficial bsky.social - Th

truly hope Eurovision has signed its own death warrant. Banning Israel
was not only a necessity, it was morally correct. They've failed. The
United Kingdom should withdraw, but won't because they're tone deaf in
every sense. Utter disgrace. #Banisrael #Eurovision
