I just don't believe in copyright, IP patents or having fences on human culture.
So even if they straight up put Pikachu in their game I think they have the moral right to do so. If they can make a good game with Pikachu in it, who is Nintendo to private humanity from that piece of culture?
My statement is about morality. What's legal or not is another matter.
I remembered the american billions, I remembered to use the currency symbol before the number. But it was finally the simple point, instead of a comma, which defeated me.
Ok, that is kind of clever.
Though I suppose even the dumbest user will chicken out once the terminal pops out.
Maybe Magneto is worthy. He is trying to save his people from discrimination after all.
The image clearly tries to make see like not a single building is left. It's the intention of this images.
I'm pretty sure there's a noble intention behind this, but it is misleading, it is propagandistic.
I will provide you a true comparison, similar lightning, similar time of the year. From september 2023 to september 2024. You'll clearly see the destruction. It's nothing shy. There's a lot of destruction. But my images will not exaggerate reality.
There you don't have to really look into what buildings are still up or not, as it is quite evident in the images what was destroyed to the ground. Even with far worse resolution the portrayal of reality is, IMO, infinity better. And the fact that in 5 minutes, with public resources and from my phone I can create this image that is less propagandistic that the image of the post, is, again IMHO, another evidence on why the image from the post have a higher propagandistic value that informative value.
I'm not saying area was not bombarded. I'm saying the election of that specific picture, time of day without shadows and just after a sandstorm, is made on purpose to exaggerate.
Without supporting any kind of violence. And without denying anything.
I feel obligated to say that this is purposely manipulated. As pictures taken in very different times of day and year make for a faulty comparison that does not portrait reallity.
Specially the time of day (that make shadows disappear on the right picture) and the sandy surfaces make it seems like the image on the right it's all flat and that buildings are leveled to the ground. And that's simply not true. It's just optical illusions.
This does not mean that the areas was not subjected to heavy bombardment, and that all people on that area may have been killed by bombs. But the images presented are just manipulative and I'm against media manipulation no matter how good intentions are behind the manipulative attempt.
