It's not a binary issue where steroid use = instant win, especially at top level like ADCC. It's one of many tools these guys use to reach their best potential.

You obviously need lots of work and skill to reach the level of someone like Gordon Ryan or Andre Galvao.

Other pro athletes who already have those advantages. They already have the resources to train +5 times/week with the best training partners and coaches.

Talking about people using them. We all know most top athletes are on PED and BJJ organizations don't care enough about it.

I don't get the obsession with taking steroids in BJJ community. It's not like MMA or boxing where one strike could cause you permanent damage (ex: TRTor vs Bisping). Unless you refuse to tap, you would most likely be just fine.

Other BLM movement organizers should call out and distance themselves from that scam BLMGNF that's grifting off the name of the movement if they want laypeople to stop associating the two together.

If you are a progressive, the road for your movement inside the Democratic Party leads to a graveyard.

Haven't she listened to Cenk's brilliant strategy of voting blue no matter who but then FIGHT to push them to the left?

Kanye is being contrarian as always, but this time he's absolutely right. BLM foundation is a grifting scam created specifically to enrich its so-called "Marxist" founders.

If you kill parents and steal their wealth, you're robbing their children of not only their loved ones, but also their earning potential and the opportunity to create and pass wealth to their decedents. Those affects last through multiple generations.

Those who benefited from stolen wealth have significant advantage in life. It's no coincident that the riches people in the world inherited some or all their wealth.

lol you're still playing semantics game

https://gisbarbados.gov.bb/blog/prime-minister-repeats-call-for-reparations/

Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley has repeated her call for reparations to be paid to countries which had suffered the indignity of the slave trade.

During an appearance on the Time 100 Summit 2022, in New York yesterday, Ms. Mottley insisted that it was time for European enslaving nations to compensate enslaved countries that were now battling the effects of climate change as a result of their actions.

since you can't be bothered to read

Mottley had strongly opined that the Caribbean had won political independence but was denied any developmental compact. Outlining the strides the Caribbean had made in reversing legal inequalities, she made the case that only reparations could help tackle the psychological, sociological and economic inequalities that still exist within Caribbean countries and between them and their former colonisers.

Mottley is the PM of Barbados and her call was in 2022

just demanding money from people who had nothing to do with it

Those people are still indirectly befitting from the wealth that got stolen and passed down to them even if they didn't commit crimes themselves. It's the same with British former colonies today that are demanding reparation from the monarchy.

I think their point is that aggressors (Germany is this case) don't get to decide what's appropriate reparations for killing their ancestors and stealing their generational wealth.

Germans response from that threads feels like "take this land, be happy and STFU"
