    Islamists sure.. Still the sworn protectors of a multi-ethnic multi-religious country!

    It's not like Hamas is like that. Oh wait they are! There's Christisn Hamas. There's smugglers and the civil servants like the health ministry.

    This T-shirt decorative windowshade doesn't represent the most leftist of forces. However that is irrelevant to whether or not Lebanon has the right to self defense

    American football causes brain damage and the sport needs to be banned. Happy Super Bowl!
  • I've been watching for 25yrs. The rules are crazy complex and more complex than chess or any other sport. Complex rules don't make for a smarter game though. Now the rules are getting more complex in the name of player safety.

    Smartest sport is definitely Chess Boxing

  • American football causes brain damage and the sport needs to be banned. Happy Super Bowl!
  • Rugby is safer for that reason. Players learn the helmet can be a weapon so then the rules committee had to ban that.

  • American football causes brain damage and the sport needs to be banned. Happy Super Bowl!
  • There's gambling. I'm a stats nerd so I gamble tiny $ on football games because of that. It's a lot of fun.

  • American football causes brain damage and the sport needs to be banned. Happy Super Bowl!
  • Aha. I should've read the top comment before making a long one defending football.

  • American football causes brain damage and the sport needs to be banned. Happy Super Bowl!
  • Hey now! I like American Football. It brings joy to millions of Americans and to the players lucky enough to get paid to do it and not have catastrophic brain damage.

    Plenty of things cause brain damage. Most Zs and Millenials on the left support the legalization of drugs.

    War causes much more brain damage and mental problems than football and we have far more soldiers than football players. Abolish war!

    reddit r/movies isn't doing too well
  • Apparently nobody has enough to watch somehow

  • Holy shit, Breadtube has become even more of a grift than it was
  • I don't really watch much YT and only know of Bread Tube by hearing people criticize it. Although I've heard of Contrapoints and was shown a short skit that was unremarkable

  • Members of the Fugees worked both for and against US empire and both got screwed by it
  • Yeah that's unfortunate as I've checked into it. He opposed the installed president but also opposed Aristide. I spent too much time checking into that

    Edit: I'm deciding to leave this up as there's some good info. It looks like he opposed empire but wanted to personally profit. The Haitian earthquake brought out all sorts of shadiness

  • Members of the Fugees worked both for and against US empire and both got screwed by it

    First off the US sponsored coups in Haiti in 1991 and 2004

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Uphold_Democracy

    https://haitisolidarity.net/in-the-news/the-final-chapter-has-still-not-been-written-remembering-the-2004-coup-in-haiti/

    Over 300k people died in the 2010 Haiti Earthquake

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake

    Wyclef Jean attempted to run for president against the US backed leader in 2010 but was declared ineligible by election officials go gave no reason, and suffered harassment and death threats from political opponents in Haiti.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/aug/22/wyclef-jean-haiti-presidential-election

    He was also widely criticized by celebrities in the US who claimed he wasn't Haitian enough and had no experience. Among those who criticized him was the founding member of the Fugees, Pras

    It gets weirder because shorlty after the earthquake Pras decided to do to side with two empres? Which ones, well the US and China of course. He was convicted on ten counts including a failed conspiracy to funnel money from the Malaysian businessman Jho Low and the government of China to Obama in 2012 and Donald Trump in 2016. He was convicted on 10 counts including conspiracy, fraud, witness tampering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent of China.

    https://hiphopdx.com/news/fugees-rapper-pras-found-guilty-of-political-conspiracy-faces-20-years

    It's kinda wild really. WTF. There was a Fugees reunion concert while Pras was fighting his legal battle. I wonder what Lauryn Hill thought of her bandmates political activities, and if Wyclef and Pras got along. Now that the empire had fucked both of them.

    Wyclef famously sang: If I was President, I'd get elected on Friday, Assasinated on Saturday, Burried on Sunday, They go back to work on Monday

    I wonder what he's up to now.

    Can we stop making fun of 9/11 here?
  • 3,000 innocents vs 5,000 American soldiers KIA vs 500k--2mil dead Afghanis and Iraqis...

    I stand with Flava Flav--911 is still a joke

  • What Exactly Is A Red/Brown Alliance and is the US at risk of one?
  • An-caps are more of an self-own than a political tendency.

    That Anarchapulco series was a great way to portray it . Especially since the Agorists were the furthest left and jumping bail. Among anarchists refer to myself as a left-agorist and then left-constitutionalist in liberal society. Only because agorism is tied to crypto. Anarchapulco was a massive failture if you haven't seen it.


    I do think China's relatively Fascist though. Fhe difference fhere is they tell yiu thr rhles5.

  • What Exactly Is A Red/Brown Alliance and is the US at risk of one?

    Basically all I can think of for Red/Brown are the liberal members of the Boogaloos, Tucker on Ukraine but I'm not up to speed on this potential problematic alliance thst seems class reductionist. What are your takes? Is it because anti-govt leftists will search for allies. Do y'all consider Ancaps as Brownies. The biggest Red/Brown alliance I see is the toilet bowl after taco Tuesday

    Motivational Poster For The Modern Era

    Let today be the first day of the end of your life!

    If you ever feel bound by red-tape consider a different color of tape or adhesive..

    Pick flowers. Smile at police and hand them flowers. Comply. Use a public defender and plead no contest to assault and resisting arrest..

    Make the theoretical more literal by rolling a physical boulder up a hill every so often.

    Say goodbye to trees you've grown accustomed to and apologize to forests..

    When taking the shortcut through the cemetery always whistle like a psycho..

    Die a little less every day with the help of big pharma and lil herb..

    Focus on the things not currently on fire..

    Open up your schedule by glaring at your friends and acquaintances, take a sip from a beverage, exhale with seething anger and repeatedly leave abrubtly without saying goodbye..

    Cry in public. Then cry in public wearing a festive outfit. Compare results..

    Learn to speak Lobster. Listen to their wisdom. Get the courage to know the things you cannot grasp, the things you can claw and the freedom from rubber bands to operate the claws..

    Smoke crack repeatedly for 27hrs, rest for 12 and repreat until you've convinced your shadow to stop following you around like a dick without anything to say..

    Have an emotional breakthrough and breakdown at the same time

    Cut power costs by stabbing electrical outlets.
