Like. Israel is a concerningly flawed democracy at real risk of serious backsliding! It’s very bad! This law is very bad, the rhetoric coming out of the current majority coalition is very bad, the enduring popularity of people who built their political careers cheering on the Israeli equivalent of the JFK assassination is very bad.

But every time you try and talk about any of that, you have to contend with an avalanche of propaganda that posits that this means that Israel is somehow a more repressive regime than its neighbors, and like… I’m sorry, but that’s just completely detached from reality?

Like just as a point of comparison, Ukraine is only a 4.90 on the democracy index, and that’s not great. But only the most diehard self-parody tankies ever bring Ukrainian domestic policy and law up in the context of whether the war in Ukraine is justified, because given that Russia is a whooping 2.03 on the democracy index and has earned every bit of that rating, “some of the political purges in Ukraine are a bit concerning for long-term domestic governance” a fucking absurd thing to go after Ukraine for in the context of Russian hostility.

JULY 9TH BOYCOT IN FULL EFFECT.

Alright friends, let's look at what everyone is saying about 6.0 so far.

Also, hello to the anti who's hiding behind anonymous messages in my inbox. I'm not letting your negativity out of there, but I hope you find some inner peace. <3

POSSIBLE MISINFORMATION:

There is a screenshot going around of the "coming soon" banner having been removed. THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED. Several sources say that even the Asia server is still under maintenance, and that no one can access the game yet. I have not received any updates from those I have been in contact with on X. Do not make assumptions based on this screenshot, as I cannot guarantee its validity.

Updates and Speculation:

Everyone (Asia, EU, and NA) seem to be having an issue with the download. They're all getting the same error message, or it's completely freezing. For most, it freezes with about 3,462.5M to go.

The error message is as follows: "An error occurred during the download. Download again? If restarting the download doesn't work, please try restarting the game. If the issue persists, please contact our customer service."

I imagine there are so many issues because Infold rushed the hell out of this update. If a few people were having a problem, I'd say it was their storage or their phone—but this is literally everyone. Maybe the files themselves are messed up, maybe the servers are lagging—it could be any number of issues. But, fact is, we've never encountered this many problems with a version update before.

The update itself is generally around 10gb. Here's everything included in the update:

I know this looks like a lot, but this is not 10gb worth of stuff. Keep in mind, adding an LI usually adds around 3gb, and the home system added about 5gb. So...if we don't have Valko, or a main story, where is the 10gb coming from? I know for a FACT it's not the damn kitchen.

This is my personal opinion, but I think all of Valko's files are still in there, just dormant. That's the best explanation I can think of. New LI + new main story + all of his info for the home feature and home screen...that makes more sense.

Those using the App Store are getting a new message when they first open the game.

Mind you, the rating in the actual App Store is still 13+. This is asking you to confirm that you're 18+. Now, this is not a bad thing—this game is definitely not meant for kids—but I find it interesting that this is coming up now of all times.

HOPIUM!

Everything we've gotten is the event notice, not the patch notes. Big difference. Events are separate from the patch notes—they're specific to what is currently going on in the game. The patch notes encompass the entire update.

One of my close friends is pretty knowledgeable about coding and game development (others who are familiar can chime in). Given the size of the update, he says it's very likely some of Valko's coding is already being added to the game.

Caleb was not in the first part of 3.0—he was in part two. Part one's description was, "Special Program is about to air. What exciting news will the Kitties bring this time...?" Nothing to do with Caleb. He wasn't announced and didn't appear until part two. We still have hope for the second half of 6.0.

Many on X agree that the WIW banner is simply for appearances. Infold is trying to improve their reputation in China, hence the banner that's associated with Chinese culture. They skipped No Defense Zone AND Misty Invasion—both of which were scheduled to rerun far before WIW. This is damage control, and it gives them time to figure everything else out.

For my spiritual friends: tarot card readers are getting good results. Basically, that Valko is going to be delayed and likely edited to some extent, he will be released.

I don't know how my girlfriend is so easily able to shrug off my ignorance with "it's not your fault; no one knows everything" and see something good in me. I don't know how she managed to be so open-minded despite Hamas' attempts at antisemitic brainwashing. Truly, her goodness humbles me. What I do know is that I love her and I want to marry her someday - and I'm terrified that doing so might make the Hamasniks who call themselves "pro Palestine" come after her. My love for her is a liability for her in the current climate.

Sometimes I feel like she would've had a better life if we hadn't fallen in love. I wish I were rich and could buy us a cottage somewhere in the countryside and we could run away from this hateful world together.

How much snuff they produce is anyone's guess. There's a lot of that with cut audio, which makes identifying origin harder. It's not not being produced, but the volume is unknown.

Hamas are not your blorbos. They're not freedom fighters. They are monsters and their first victims are Palestinians.

One of those victims was six weeks old. Without getting graphic, I would be absolutely astonished if she survived what was done to her, particularly given the internal bleeding being visibly free-flowing in the video and the lack of medical care in Palestine. And the man who did it, the men who filmed it, the ones uploading it and profiting off of it? These are the people "Pro-Palestine" people are defending. These are the people they are willing to let be killed by Hamas because this is what "by any means necessary" looks like so Hamas can make enough money to fund their good lives while their people starve and die.

Six weeks old. I want that burned into the mind of every "Pro-Palestinian" protestor.

This post is about that fact that a lot of people who claim to be "Pro-Palestine" (mostly in the West) support Hamas and repeat Hamas talking points despite the fact that this is inconsistent with the goal of actually helping Palestinian people and the fact that Hamas is an evil terrorist organization that hurts many people - especially Palestinian people. These so-called activists, under the guise of being “pro Palestine” support Hamas, allow Hamas supporters into their movement, and talk over people from the region who contradict them.

The largest, most prominent, and most prolific “Pro-Palestine” organizations that all of the major protests have been organized by, from WOL to JVP to SJP to AMP to PYM regularly cape for Hamas, celebrate their human rights abuses or downplay them.

The entire point of the extreme hyperbole about anything Israel does, like the “dog rape” libel or calling the Israel-Hamas war a “genocide” despite not meeting the criteria, and lacking any actual ruling from any court of international law calling it one, is to deflect from the actions of Hamas and similar organizations’ own human rights abuses.
