You think saying a writer who has publicly talked about how TLoU2 was affected by Israeli politics is "red pilled conspiracy theory?" www.vice.com/en/article/t...

Remember the rest of what I said about how metaphors work? “Affected” is an entirely different preface than your last post, no?

If you're actually interested in how Neil Druckman has talked about how TLOU2 is directly inspired by his vengeful thoughts about Palestinians as an Israeli (that's the liberal view of Zionism I mentioned), you can read the article

I am aware of what he said. I’m also aware of how story and metaphor work, whether that’s regarding the Bible, Harry Potter, or The Last of Us. People write what they know. However, I’m curious about how that’s the “liberal view of Zionism.” Do explain.

Core liberal positions on Zionism: • Two-state solution • Human rights • Criticism ≠ antisemitism • Occupation opposition Where Zionist policy diverges: • Settlement expansion • Annexation and one-state realities • Security-first approach

Trolling: • Trolls conflate sympathy for Israel’s existence with blanket endorsement of all Israeli policies, to stifle nuanced debate. • Liberal Zionism exists, advocating Israel’s right to exist while opposing occupation and settlement policies, is deliberately oversimplified by both sides.

Man, read the article. You can’t go ahead with establishing your terms of the debate without even bothering show the other side the same respect. In a way, this blind self-righteousness only reminds one of the Israeli side in the conflict more generally...

I read it when it dropped. I have read others like it. I just reread it. Doesn’t change what I said.

This in itself is a liberal fantasy about liberal Zionism, which does not actually include any of those things

To create the future, we must first imagine it. Cynicism is the refuge of those lacking both ambition and curiosity.

Great read, thanks! I’ve seen season 1 which I quite liked but haven’t felt particularly interested in taking up the second season, so this helped put any FOMO to rest at least. ;)
