There's a difference between predators and fascist psychopaths

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Of course they do. The first movie shows they are honorable killers / hunters. Afaik, this has always been part of their lore.

So we've gone from:

I like pancakes.

Why do you hate waffles?!

... to ...

Killing children is bad.

Obviously you must have brain damage that causes you to spread hateful bigotted conspiracy theories.


Somehow, reality ended up being more ridiculous and less believable than Metal Gear Solid 2.

[-] core@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago

Its b/c they specifically responded about Jewish people. They're outing themselves as child murderers b/c they feel attacked by the statement.

I... I know that... I'm just trying to point out how the insanity knob appears to just ratchet forward and there seemingly is no way to dial it back... we're just gonna keep cranking it up untill it blows out the amp, so to speak.

I get blanking everything unimportant to get the point across, but I do wonder what the rest of the text said...

confirming that terrorist is yank for "very based person"

[-] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago

ATAW

All Terrorists Are Woke

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Predators do it for the hunt, not because of hate or fanaticism.

[-] RAFAELRAMIREZ@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

One thing the Predator movies always did well was giving the creature its own strange code of honor. Moments like that made it feel less like a mindless monster and more like a hunter with rules.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 91 points 2 days ago

The Predator was after a worthy opponent. Something to give a challenge. The IDF are just bullies with guns. Think ICE but with different brown people.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

That's not a shitty movie detail, that's a depressingly accurate observation.

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Predator is a hunter so his threat assessment is superior to trigger happy freikorp LARP.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago

I don't know about your country specifically, but here in France hunters regularly shoot at cyclists. Their main union even complained about a new law imposing a legal limit of blood alcohol content during hunting sessions.

[-] BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

our hunting regulations are all over the place but there was a period in history when a number of prominent politicians got killed during hunting "by accident". oddly enough they had ties with russia...

[-] Fnaargh@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

If predators have a union in your country the problem is deeper than you think.

[-] kossa@feddit.org 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mean Predator seems kinda woke with that rainbow view, so it only makes sense.

[-] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 12 points 1 day ago

Hah memes are funny.

deep sigh

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Better than cops too.

[-] binarytobis@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago

I watched the animated Predator movie the other day, and was miffed that

Tap for spoilerthey would kidnap people who won against their hunters, freeze them for who knows how many years (thereby effectively ending their lives as they know it) and bring them across the galaxy to fight for their lives again. Respect that the winner won you sore losers. Absolutely no honor.

[-] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

No honor? The Yatuja believe that the only honor that matters is in your hunting prowess, literally every Yatuja has never lost a fight because they always fight to the death. They absolutely think it's an honor to be brought to Yautja Prime to fight against their leader, which is why they do that instead of just killing the people who beat a Predator. That's a huge sign of respect from them

[-] binarytobis@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.

[-] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

The Yautja have no concept of "loved ones". It is specifically brought up that Dek's older brother is a failure because he is protecting his weaker brother instead of culling him for the strength of the clan. You're using human emotional logic to justify your opinions instead of following Predator logic. The vast majority of Yautja would be champing at the bit to fight to prove they can beat the warlord. I still contend these humans have been given an incredible honor in Yautja society

[-] Gathorall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well you just brought up they do have familial feelings. They just choose to be a culture centered around pointless murder around the galaxy.

IDF hates kids, think opposite of Epstein circle. Predator is impartial towards kids.

[-] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

think opposite of Epstein circle

In no way the Epstein circle is the opposite. Rape is not love, those people are rapists not pedophiles.

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

that was dark humor not factual. I also enjoyed making a connection between two vile organizations. even though it looks like an anti connection the whole point of the joke is to make them look similar, precisely because of the reason you mentioned.

[-] texture@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

this isnt even a shitpost, its just a good post.

[-] bluepop@anarchist.nexus 8 points 1 day ago

I thought they just liked killing kids

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 28 points 2 days ago

Not to ruin the shitpost, but Predator didn't attack the child only because it posed no challenge.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago

Yes, that's the point. The predator won't attack a human child because they are incapable of defending themselves. The IDF doesn't care about that.

The alien sport-hunter who kills people to collect their bones as trophies is not a role model!

[-] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago

This is why I’m team xenomorph. No agenda, no philosophy, no sermons. Just equal opportunity face-hugging and chest-bursting.

IDF are low bar or A.K.A. no-bar.

[-] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Oh, I'm gonna carry that weight.

[-] brynden_rivers_esq@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago

Lol, I just recognized the name from spending ages discussing the monarchy with this guy. Seeing this post I checked his other comments; jeeeeeeeesus.

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Predator Badlands was dope I’m looking forward to a sequel. Gonna watch Prey this weekend, see if it holds up. They’re kinda hit or miss, Aliens vs Predator should have been way better, hopefully they’ll give it another go with the current cast.
