Yeah it's tiring, you can't even have a discussion on political theory because it's so debased from reality. It melts people's brains that liberalism is conservatism in the USA because liberalism are the foundations of American political thought dating back to the founding fathers, it's just that somewhere people figured that liberal = progressive social policies, when it isn't at all. The democrats and repubs are just different crowds of the same liberalism ideals, personality responsibility, small government, low regulations, and so on, they just pander and contort those basic free-market principals towards their voting base, urbanites, religious cunts, whatever. The culture war is just a diversion of chewable debates and problems to distract people from critical assessments of problems that are fundamental in the systems they live in. Wanking over abstractions doesn't improve the material conditions of people's lives, moaning about an NFL team doesn't change rampant poverty and alcoholism in Indigenous American communities.

Interesting to see a different view on Hasidism because you really only get horror stories about sexual abuse, domestic abuse, abuse from those in power (the rabbbis), though I've only watched the first five minutes maybe it gets worse...

I'd say one foot past is offside, but I agree with feet placement being the qualifying factor of offside or onside. I really don't care if someone is leaning forward or backwards slightingly and the bloody head is offside, that's just ridiculous pedantry.

There is 0% chance that anyone considers Pedri a Barcelona academy player, it isn't even a question. He is barely even a Las Palmas graduate, he was only there for two years.

There is nothing to like about winter

Renting is more expensive than mortgaging in certain USA markets. My mortgage is less than my coworker’s rent, he just doesn’t have the liquid capital for a down payment.

RE4 was 10/10

I heard he died after shelving too many ecstasy pills in Ibiza

I'd also like to add the isolationist and regionalism bullshit. Why is the country so fundamentally split in half when it comes to sports? Why is it that the unique and native sport of Australia is a considered a 'poofter's game' in half of the country, we can't even be proud of something that is culturally unique because it's from a different state. Why does someone have to be league or aussie rules? Why are they in direct competition with each other, people don't seem to understand they can like both, it's like religions that are mutually exclusive. And the one sport that is unifying is chopped up and hidden on different channels, why does Cricket Australia sell off TV rights in nonsensical ways? Put that shit on free-to-air, have every game being pumped into every house on Channel 7 or Channel 9, don't do what Rugby Union Australia did and hide their sport for the eyes of private school boys only. For an openly egalitarian culture we sure do hide a lot of classism and regionalism in plain sight.

Sydney is the cocaine usage capital of the world. That’s fucking mental. Australia is also the number one in gambling, for fucks sake out of all the places my family wants to visit Las Vegas. But don’t worry, the Brits also hate themselves and their own culture and history so don’t compliment them too much

Corporations have more rights than people

How is it okay that insulin is manufactured for about $5 a bottle and is retailed at $98, but than it is covered by a monthly insurance fee of $450p/month to reduce it down down to $14. So why do I pay a private company a $5,400p/a to have the right to still be overcharged for a product that my wife will die without?

The USA is beyond the richest country in the world, one piss drop of the military budget would be enough to enact socialist policies that would dwarf most of the world’s GDP. Tell me why I should pay into a private health fund that selectively chooses what I am and aren’t covered on, who isn’t covered, and who I can see, when I could pay into a public health fund that helps everyone?

He certainly does not lean left at all

Biden is a socialist is the most hilarious comment I’ve read on here in years. Biden literally signed the biggest anti-union and anti-labour bill in the country’s history when he quashed the rail strikes. Biden isn’t left wing, the democrats aren’t left wing, they are economic liberals to the core.

USA violence CIA interfering with other countries and the FBI interfering with it’s own militarised police urban planning and redlining the institutions really still do hate black people but pretend like they don’t cars everywhere ugly strip malls and generally ugly architecture health system consumerism and keeping up with the Jones’ corporate and mom&pop dichotomy tipping people are generally in their bubble and don’t open up till they let you into the bubble Australia cost of living if isn’t on the coast and south of Brisbane it doesn’t exist the psychotic over regulation of some sectors and the blatantly corrupt deregulation of others puppet of the USA cars everywhere landlords, property devs, and the mining industry have a stranglehold on the economy everything is always a smartarse remark housing

The SASR has been under scrutiny in Australia but mouth breathers aren’t bothered because they think it’s justifiable

I thought Venezuela had intense trade sanctions from USA pressure, like Cuba; which has caused the crisis.

I love Spurs

The neck protectors that are used are kinda lame though, well that's what my mate that plays says. You'd know what he means.

Yeah it is fucked that a guy that has been wanking himself off in Florida for most of the year, that can’t be fucked to actually play for the team he is paid to be on, would win a poncey award that LadBible readers froth over.

Yeah but that can be fixed though can’t it

Who in the Gong hasn’t felt your touch?

Messi? Surely not, he hasn’t done a single thing worthy of it since the WC
