  1. There is no trap, that’s what mass media has been since it was industrialised in the mid-19th century. Reporting has never been important, sales and narrative control is the goal. He is just lamenting media being what it is, while being on said media. The only people watching are going to keep watching MSNBC/Fox/whatever. That’s why it’s pointless, whether is he right or not, and he is right about certain things, but not entirely. The media is fucked and biased but it’s not a revelation, it’s the nature of the beast and calling them out like this accomplishes nothing. The point isn’t facf or lie, it is narrative presentation. This is also paradoxically beneficial for MSNBC because despite him calling them out, he is employed by them and allowing him to say creates a narrative of reliability, integrity, and credibility to MSNBC and their journalists by proxy, and engages with sentiments held by MSNBC viewers. It’s the same bullshit I see on ABC with Media Watch. The sentiment would hold more water on an independent platform.
  2. So he is mad that Trump is doing the exact same thing he has done for over a decade and he wants to show the Michigan speech where Harris failed so badly and nearly (and probably did) tank her whole campaign in Michigan? What a pointless rant.
  3. Counting players on loan and Neto, they have 53 players.

    It was kinda boring tbh
  6. The sanctions are the status quo, you dense bastard. What reality do you live in? Did you even read my post? How will 'immigration become a problem' it isn't fucking immigration it's refugees fleeing. Nearly 8,000,000 people have already been displaced already, how are you so constantly wrong? I literally see Venezuelans in the streets of Chicago, and your solution is to do more of the same stuff that made people suffer? Maduro is a fucking moron, but throwing a tantrum about democracy isn't the problem here, it's the fact they have no fucken food, because they can't buy any food because on top of poor economic planning they've been hammered by other major nations of North American and Europe. Maduro's ineptitude cause Venezuela to bleed, but a stab wound isn't healed with repeated stabbings! You are literally the stupidest person that's even been on this forum and we've literally had gayporn posting New Jersey Italians ( @Dr. Gonzo) and Nazi apologists. It'd be funny if you weren't so delusional and every time someone whack-a-moles you back to your cave you crawl out of with spouting the same inane bullshit youtube intellectual buzzwords every single time. Why do you even post on here? Literally no one agrees with you ever and they constantly disprove you. Are you a glutton for punishment? Are you a troll that likes to stir shit up for the lulz? Do you want me to wear a stiletto and step on your balls? Here are more sources you won't read https://www.aljazeera.com/program/the-stream/2023/6/13/how-are-us-sanctions-affecting-life-in-venezuela https://theintercept.com/2024/08/02/venezuela-election-maduro-us-sanctions-democracy/ https://web.archive.org/web/20200929074343/https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/31/us-ignores-global-appeals-suspend-sanctions-coronavirus-pandemic-iran-venezuela
  7. I see you subscribe to a non-linear passage of time.
  8. It depends what the west actually wants? What do they want? With Venezuela at least under Chavez, they were a burgeoning economy in South America, driven by oil (something USA wants) but had a socialist government (something USA doesn’t want), so when they began to destabilise due to the drop in price of oil, they sanction the fuck out of Venezuela to further destabilise and prevent stabilisation using their massive oil reserves. You can’t tell me that with the Russia-Ukraine war that the removal of Venezuelan sanctions wouldn’t have rebounded their economy due to loss Russian oil, preventing hopefully or at least limiting the massive human exodus and refugee crisis. Using the failure of democracy as a smokescreen to justify their treatment of Venezuela, because 1. USA obviously doesn’t give a fuck about democracy, and 2. obviously hates the influence of socialism in the neighbour’s backyard. For Iran I don’t know, because again the USA obviously isn’t bothered by religious fundamentalism (funding extremists groups since the 70s), and 2. doesn’t give a shit about democracy. So I guess fuck Iranians because they are brownish off-white caucasians (Venezuela too???) and have the capacity to be a regional influence in the Middle East which has lots of oil.
  9. Empiricism also tells us that this Venezuelan food crisis was caused by sanctions on their oil as they had pulled manpower away from agriculture towards industry, relying on the purchasing power of their oil to import food. Combined with price control, inflation, and the further losing of the price on oil led to a destabilisation on the economy, leading to essentially what they have now as a military controlled food cartel. Once again OrangeCunt (thanks @Gunnersaurus) fundamentally misunderstands a situation and talks out his arse. Thousands of Venezuelan refugees cover the streets of Chicago, starving and freezing to death, many of them are children. Alienated from their culture, their family, their language, the schools, they suffer to survive in a hostile and alien place. They won’t prosper, they won’t succeed, this children are doomed to theft, drug dealing, and prostitution because the USA will punish Venezuela, but not help Venezuelans at all. And YOU want to sanction Venezuela more, a country whose people are literally starving to death because sanctions imposed on them pushed them from civil unrest to dying within five years of the protests. Nearly 8,000,000 people displaced from their home. But Maduro skirting democracy is more important than people’s lives, it’s not like a country under sanctions just creates a black market that skirts sanctions and leads to more money and power consolidation to the upper class through product scarcity, maybe @Dr. Gonzo can explain how that totally didn’t happen in Iran. here are links you don’t read https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF10715#:~:text=Those sanctions and other international,Venezuelans to flee the country. https://www.wola.org/2020/10/new-report-us-sanctions-aggravated-venezuelas-economic-crisis/ https://english.elpais.com/international/2024-04-19/how-us-sanctions-have-affected-venezuela.html?outputType=amp https://gppreview.com/2023/07/03/us-sanctions-are-robbing-venezuelans-of-basic-human-rights/
  10. ‘Let’s make sure more Venezuelans suffer through sanctions’ - orangekhrush
  11. Okay so that’s what Gilmour thinks, what about Roger Waters?
  12. The only person who should care is you, and teams do stupid shit all the time that alienates fans; like how Spurs right now are the most expensive team to follow in the UK. I watched Chelsea for like a decade now I can't stomach them at all, that club and what it does and has done makes me want to spew.
  13. Let’s just say he is a stupid person though, because he is a cunt.
  14. He just talks fast and confidently.
  15. a classic that deserves repeated viewing

    Cricket

    Not every player makes this shot, they can field accordingly. It makes it harder but it might spark some innovation in the face of adversity. IMO just make it dynamic, if it’s starts off outside leg and the batsmen switches, the delivery should be considered off side.
  17. He is full of shit because how much of 'mental health culture' disappears when we don't have to worry about getting fired, staying full, paying for bills, having a home to live in, having time to spend with friends and family, having time to be active and healthy, and so on. When everything is taken care of like I assume Mel Stride has had in his life, life is much more enjoyable. What a cunt. Tell him to get fucked for me.
  18. You are 100% correct, mate. Nail on the head. I know what he is saying I just want the coward to admit it.
  19. Brazil had local leagues still at the time, so I think the league Pele played in was the Paulista League not the 'Brazilian League'. Let's ask @El Profesor
  20. You do understand the fundamental nature of cause and effect? That something in the history of South Africa would cause one group to have wealth and another to not have wealth?
