He wasn’t as good to them either, look up Dersim rebellion and such. Erdo started as a democratic change with a small flavor of Islam. Because that secularism was about creating a fascist state and a social layer of Kemalist privileged elite (military mostly). But that’s something a Turk may explain better.

one the Turks still refuse to acknowledge

That’s actually imprecise.

They acknowledge that “something” happened, but deny various separate traits, like intent or numbers or relevance for today or even just say that genocide wasn’t illegal then. There’s also that “it didn’t happen, but they deserved it, and we’ll do it again” thing. Which gives a very special feeling, considering they are well in position to do it again.

And it’s illegal to publicly recognize it in Turkey, so not only malevolent, but also benevolent voices seem to be kinda in denial, while in fact not.

Still had Germany not lost WWII so conclusively, I suspect we’d be amazed at how self-conscious a lot of Turks are as compared to Germans.

I didn’t think that would happen in Armenia, but since it does - the way some Armenians act towards refugees from Artsakh is similar, I think.

It’s easier for Israelis (especially when being fascists) to think that they themselves are strong, and those survivors are not like them, they are weak. It’s as they wanted to identify with Nazis more.

With such Armenians too - it’s the worse part of them thinking they can be just like Turks if they suck up to Turks, and also because Artsakhtsis lost their homeland for being weak, and they are not weak.

A bit like ignorant and cowardly people abandon relatives with chronic diseases, when there’s no evidence of those diseases being transferable.

It’s just cowardice. Humans do it under pressure or when presented with dark events for their interpretation and self-identification. While good upbringing may reduce the risk of someone growing up a coward, it’s very human.

In my experience something similar exists with a subset of Russians, - they hate Israel the particular way, they just love the fact that it exists and commits crimes.

When you are Jewish and proud of yourself, it makes them just as livid as when you are Armenian and proud of yourself.

Republic of Armenia is quite miserable and they enjoy that, Israel is strong, but lacks dignity even more than RoA and they enjoy that, so the emotion gets especially extreme when you put these states and your own pride and the fact that they can change and have dignity in contrast.

(I have tested that.)

but a heavy prosecution of him would definitely have a chilling effect on whistle-blowers

As if the last decade plus of his life were not enough for that. Better than a life sentence, yeah.

It’s a society (or the whole humanity) becoming big enough to survive even when ignorant murderers are the elite and the majority of it, and civilized people - a smaller part and almost a property, similar to animals in a zoo.

When such a point is reached, the former will make the transition, and the latter will diminish over time. Then it just has no future.

A bit like with Ottoman empire and Qajar Iran, only on the scale of the whole humanity there won’t be someone else to buy weapons and technologies from to keep going. Then some of the previously passable filters will kick in. Like hunger or resource scarcity.

Because likely it’s a result of a dozen (at best) clueless managers accepting some kind of UI\UX with consensus. It’s a very slow process, but they want to micromanage everything that they can see and (they think) understand.

What beats me is how people like to say how 90s’ webpages looked horrible. But when I get to a miraculously still functional webpage with 90s’ web design, I feel like I’m walking in a park. Then I get to something such people would call a normal webpage, and I can’t use it. I ask such people and they … are not interested in actually finding something in the pile of crap they call better.

I felt that being like 15 years old, then got excited over one girl (that worked as a temporary solution), then she ditched me, so I have a good fat trauma to return to if bored.

I don’t know that either.

Brandon Lee? And someone else whom I can’t remember

Most other cases where people were shot on set

Either you are high or a bot, stop talking please

You’ve failed to read all of the comment I was answering to, which is not yours so it’s not clear what are you doing in this thread at all.

First,

Did anybody ask about most others,

… doesn’t seem relevant, since saying something doesn’t require you personally asking about it at all, second,

what they’re saying is fake guns for movies should use a caliber for which no bullets exist, solving the main part of the issue, i.e. the fact that someone can load a normal bullet in a gun that is to be used as a prop.

… answers your question, and that quote is most of the original comment, I could even have quoted the whole of it.

but in new Mexico basically everyone holding a weapon is held accountable for the consequences of whatever they do while holding the weapon

Which is how it should be.

I agree. Both equally guilty.

This would help avoid this specific death, but not most others where the projectile wasn’t an actual bullet from a live round, but something stuck in the barrel, like the other person says.

This situation was unusual in the sense that an incompetent armorer had live rounds on set, and the gun was loaded with one.

What I mean is that the main part of the issue is exactly not this.

So two people communicate, one is American speaking English and the other is a Natmurrikan, speaking their Natmurrikan language. The former communicates with the latter and the latter communicates with the former. So if they speak Natmurrikan and it doesn’t feel natural for the American, is that right that this is the American’s fault?

Google some sites, visit some empty IRC channels, dream of the future for a bit, then turn it off
