Look, there's always one real pope, the other one was the anti-pope all along, you can tell by how one of them won and the other didn't.
I know that saying "Sucks to suck, dude" when asked for justice comes off as flippant and unfair, because it often is.
The way to apply might-makes-right/sucks-to-suck arguments that's fair is when the person demanding justice had previously been using might-makes-right. You don't get to start a war with the intention of winning it through force, then, when defeated by force, whine about how force is illegitimate, something-something-international-law, something-something colonialism.
Arabs only discovered international law, war crimes, indigenous rights, and exploiting the emotional incontinence of westerners after losing.

I would say React mainly out of emotional incontinence and a desire to be an activist for some cause or other.

Not really. Industrial extermination of your own citizens is historically anomalous compared to conquest. Also, might did make right, because they lost to the Allies.

Yep, I assume everyone over the age of 12 knows that in history, people conquer other peoples. Have you read about the Jews and the Canaanites?
Citation needed.
Ive also seen arabs argue that there never were Jews in Israel in the first place. Jews apparently sprung up independently in several places then all converged on Israel because they just like bullying Palestinians that much.

Isn't that just the fault of all those surviving victims for not keeping the flame of butthurt alive in their hearts over the generations?

Most states were founded on conquest or stolen land. The only variable is how far back in The mists of time this happened.
Most religions were founded by a scammer. It's just that the scamming usually happened before newspapers existed, so you can't look up Jesus and Mohammed's convictions for Fraud in the public record the same way you can Joseph Smith.
Israel is in a similar boat in that their conquest happened just a little too recently, so people engage in a lot of modernist rules-lawyering and isolated demands for rigor that really should also apply to the Turks before the British and the Romans before the Turks. Where's Israel's reparations from the Italians? Doesnt Mongolia owe everyone in eurasia a lot of blood money? You might as well call the Egyptians bad because their monuments were made without OSHA standards.

States people like are justified. States that they don't like are illegitimate and based on colonial white supremacy. It's just who/whom.

Went to a Halloween singles party/event on Friday that I was skeptical of, it seemed way too tick-tock-y (something something "chaotic" 😑).
It turned out to be a roped-off area of a generic dance club playing music I remember from AMVhell. I was wearing a costume that people went nuts for, I had random people on the street coming up to me to compliment me while I was on the way there. Absolutely no one interacted with me of their own accord once I entered.
There were two groups of three girls all talking to each other and a bunch of sad bastards sitting alone with thousand-yard stares. I went up to one of the groups and said "So, this is every singles event, right? Three girls talking to each other and a bunch of sad bastards?"
They responded
Whaaaaat?!?!?!?
Because the music was too loud. I leaned in and shouted "isn't this music kinda impractical for meeting people?"
Whaaaaat!?!?!
Looking at the expressions on the faces and seeing little encouragement, I left, $20 poorer. I hate the world so much.

I once hugged someone in a way that someone else thought was the wrong way to hug someone and heard about it from her three times over the course of a week, each time her then saying it was no big deal. Eventually I snapped and said "if it's no big deal, why do you keep bringing it up?"

I said that nothing in the laws of physics stops that from happening. And no amount of law enforcement will change that.

I mean I would hate that because it means nothing when she does it to everyone and I'm not allowed to do anything with it, so it feels more like she's messing with the Buckingham Palace guards.

How, precisely, can a man mitigate the risk of any given woman he slept with accusing him of rape at a later date?
This reaches the point of unreasonable neurosis. Nothing stops a random person you pass on the street from just abruptly jumping you and bashing your head on the curb, the laws of physics allow this to happen. Yet, people still go outside.

On most of these, you can set a match radius to whatever distance you like.

Probably, yes, since he's also the sort of guy to obsess about being me-to'd over hand-holding.
But I would be curious if there's legit been a loss of institutional knowledge among women, like no one told them that men like being touched. Or they have some neurosis that if they touch a guy's arm, he'll take that as permission to grope them.

Speaking of initiating physical contact, I've noticed that now even when women are into me, they have no concept of reciprocating physical contact. It's the equivalent of going starfish. I get more reciprocal affection from petting a cat.
It wasn't always this way, I remember when they'd lean in or give me a hip-bump or something. Now it's all recieve, no give.

Asian women hunt for white men like a tiger hunts for deer.
Are the Hmong an exception to this? Those were the only Asians in my college town, and I don't think I ever even saw a mixed couple, or had one voluntarily speak words to me.

Autopsy of Jane Doe also doesn't claim to be based on accounts that claim to be real. Also, buried alive, not burned.
But yes, the-bigots-created-the-monster is another variation. Or the "witch" does actually have magic powers or is psychic or whatever, but there's no connection to "satanism", which is ultimately Christian fanfiction.

No the ghost in question is a descendant of the witch that died in the Salem witch trials. I just can't get over to anyone that made up that story either thinks the Salem witch trials caught actual witches or thinks the person they're talking to think that the Salem witch trials caught actual witches, when by this point it should be well-known that even if witches existed, the one place they weren't was at the Salem witch trials (being executed). That's why when people call things a "Witch Hunt" they don't mean a righteous crusade against practitioners of black magic, they mean a spurious moral panic.

That's because humans are humans everywhere and have the same wiring. For example, every culture has some sort of spook that paralyzes you at night. That isn't proof of greys or night hags existing, it just means that sleep paralysis is a common glitch in human neural architecture.

Yes, but when people notice the cringey unflattering self-indulgent tropes of women's romance fiction, they don't treat it as an injustice that needs to be corrected so more men can enjoy reading about vampire billionaires.

this has had an brought women together to share their stories in a moment of cultural solidarity.
Hasn't that been continually happening for the past 16 years?
Right, and you can tell which one is true-er because the pope said it. The pope is the pope because he defeated the anti-pope.
