  1. Neoliberalism is a conservative ideology mate. Nothing new about preserving global capitalism and imperialism for the benefit on the USA on the cost of developing and struggling countries. It’s part and parcel for whatever these republicans/conservatives/neoliberals/libs/neocons are or aren’t to be ‘fiscally responsible’ with their own wealth but not the wealth of others. They don’t maintain their personal wealth by spending it. Lawmaking in the USA is designed and drafted by a small cadre of businesses and its cringe to say because how often it is ineloquently stated - of rich, ivy-educated, white, old, Yankee-men, and if they aren’t rich, ivy-educated, white, old, Yankee-men, they exist and operate within the culture set by those people. Of course they come in different flavours, the conservative good ol boy racist, the smile at you from daggered teeth ‘ally of minorities’ racist with white saviour complex, the self made ‘I got mine’ noveau-rich; but all have the barometer of valuing a person’s value of morality and ethics by the size of their bank account and property.
  2. Fining them an entire years worth of money won’t make them not racist. If anything it will probably worsen the problem. Now they’ll just double down as a victim
  3. It’s not that strange. Every single club does it, sometimes things don’t work out unfortunately. They could probably have been great players but personality issues and lack of ambition in this case probably played a part.
  4. I was thinking about England’s golden generetion of the 00s and they really were a bunch of divas and brats. Which player didn’t have some sort of controversy and legal trouble? Hargreaves? He is Canadian!
  5. Yeah it’s one those things that’s a hard balance. The cardio is great but fuck you pay for it on the cartilage
  6. Nice. I don’t mind running but I hate the feeling of running on hard surfaces like roads.
  7. Natural tracks or bitumen and concrete?
  8. Man City doing the treble changes nothing about the achievements of thee 99 team.
  9. Trump is the same but with more charisma and less policy. Tucker Carlson is a white supremacist that spouts racial conspiracies and has been since college. There is nothing ‘woke’ about Fox, it’s viewers, or the reason they sacked that cunt. who gives a fuck about these things? The fact that you find a problem with this just a reflection of your own sexism. Women don’t need your protection, if they want to play a game with the threat of being smashed let them, who gives a fuck, the only egos that should be bruised are the players, so I don’t know why yours is as well. I bet you didn’t even know it was happening, didn’t watch it, and just saw it on your Facebook Fox news feed. What virtue has been signalled? There is no virtue. If two teams want to enter a competition and play each other, let them. Everyone chooses to play.
  10. De Santis is just another neoliberal cunt off the factory line. All the cross examinations of him render the same analysis as all of the neoliberal cunts since Reagan.
  11. It's all too much at once. It's a hard thing to do but the coach and recruitment have to know how to slowly remove and replace the key players. Fergie was a master at it, he kicked out a bunch of those 90s players over a few years, Beckham, Keane, Butt, and Neville, were all replaced over three years. Barcelona is kinda doing a good job of it now, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Alba, Alves, Busquets, Puyol, Suarez, are all gone from the club. They maybe hung on to some too long and others not long enough but they've had huge job replacing those players.
  12. I feel like Liverpool is about to go through some huge squad changes in the next two seasons
  13. Only if the fat guy has been told by everyone in his life that he absolutely ripped his entire life, sure. Gender dysmoprhia is caused by external social input, not internal.
  14. Why wouldn't it be. I'm born to be horny and macho. why can't someone be born differently? It happens all the time and for with different causes and effects.
  15. Can Australians do anything without a Simpsons reference?
  16. Bezos and Musk have never done anything community oriented in their lives except take giant shits on people.
  17. Nudge is correct, John's post has very little to do with the subject matter of this thread, which is actually about neo-nazis and holocaust deniers.

  20. China is easy to handle. ’would you like to work together in a trade partnership?’ ’ok’ ’sorry about the earlier threats, old sport’
  21. Pennsylvania is a state in the rust belt which is a geographic area of the USA which was economically destroyed when manufacturing was outsourced. The 50s was the beginning of the economic devastation for millions of Americans.
