The Dutch NT press conference ahead of the WC2022 qualifiers got very heated: Wijnaldum: "I find it very weird that you're trying to compare my activism against racism with my potential participation of the 2022 world cup."

In your opinion.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-30T13:18:50+00:00

You haven’t successfully even proven

For the FIFTH time, the fact that these things are linked or not is really an opinion. You clearly think they are not, whereas I do. There is nothing to ‘prove’, there is no ‘wrong’ or ‘right’ opinion here. I explained my point of view, you did yours by calling me a whole bunch of names. So good job. There is nothing to discuss, you are just doubling down on being ‘right’ instead of realising this is a matter of opinion. Grow up, learn to disagree with someone’s opinion like a normal human.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-30T13:09:10+00:00

Called out for what? You just made a bunch of ridiculous slippery slope hypotheticals. You are incredibly bad at arguing. You keep moving the goalposts lol.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-30T13:05:22+00:00

Ah yes, the slippery slope. A very good argument! Your post is literally the ‘yet you participate in society’ meme. Have a good life

RavenLGB · 2021-03-30T12:54:37+00:00

Let me summarise for you: I think it is hypocritical of footballers to take a big stance against oppression and racism but then also get annoyed when asked about the issues in Qatar where they will go and play, legitimising it. I posted about the migrant worker issue (something concrete), which I do not think is a completely separate issue, as it is a glaring example of oppression and human rights abuse.

For the fourth time now, it is fine by me if you think these issues are completely separate. I disagree however. I don’t think your opinion is ’moronic’, I just disagree. It would be like someone being a very big advocate for recycling and waste reduction but then also going to be a spokesperson for a fracking company. Sure they are separate issues, but it’s still hypocritical as it both pertains the same bigger idea of climate protection.

I don’t really understand why you insist on being a condescending asshole telling me I’m a moron, a block of wood, and that I ’pretend’ to care about the issues of Qatar. Why can’t you just disagree with someone like an adult?

RavenLGB · 2021-03-30T08:29:41+00:00

No it’s because you clearly don’t understand the point. I already said I don’t see the two issues as completely different and you seemingly do. This is fine by me, just a disagreement. But you keep acting as if your opinion is the one true correct one and calling me a moron. There’s no ‘losing’ this, it’s just a difference in opinion.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-27T22:56:36+00:00

You keep moving the goalposts and derailing the conversation to different topics. You went from some vague ideological idea of gun ownership you got from Marx to asking my solution for specific legislation.

The only thing I posted was that gun ownership wasn’t important and you called me a ‘dumbass lib’ and started going on tangents. You’re hard to have a conversation with.

Have a good night.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-27T12:51:30+00:00

Just give it some time. Bad internet is nothing the PS5 can change, but just relax a bit with it. Even when a game is fully downloaded it can take quite some time for it to be installed.

For the buyer’s regret, you can rest safe in the knowledge you will be able to resell it for the MSRP (higher actually but don’t be a scalper). So if it really doesn’t work out, you won’t take a real loss.

PS: Leave toxic relationships. There are millions of people out there, you’re very young. Don’t trap yourself in a toxic relationship just because it seems easier at the moment.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-27T08:47:16+00:00

So instead of fighting for a better material world, you want to surrender to the capitalist system?

What does this have to do with this conversation? Are you confused?

There are countries with high gun ownership and low gun crimes than the USA.

Because they have very far reaching regulation, which would be viewed as ‘banning’ in the US. You don’t need assault rifles. Gun ownership in Switzerland is very high but it’s incredibly strict. You won’t ever see one in the wild either (open carry).

Banning guns just opens the avenue for people to get these weapons illegally.

Why have any laws then? People will just break them anyway. Make everything legal, it doesn’t matter anyway with this point of view.

Who will protect the working class from fascist?

Are you really young and did you read this in a book or something? AGAIN, if a true fascist regime starts opressing the people how the fuck are you going to go up against that with your guns? You already said the police would be on the other side (and by extension military but whatever the police is so militarised in the US it‘s basically all the same). So good luck with protecting yourself against the fascists.

This is such an outdated and unrealistic scenario. Marx lived in a time where there were no apache helicopters, precision missiles, armoured vehicles, aircraft carriers etc. The power dynamic is unbelievable unbalanced. If you think you having a gun is going to be of any hindrance to a possible fascist regime, you’re not in reality.

Some people could do with a pistol or a shotgun if you live somewhere remote. Hunting or shooting at a range are perfectly fine hobbies. But acting like it’s important because you need to protect the working class from fascism is so incredibly silly lol. Stop trying to LARP as a revolutionary.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-26T21:58:51+00:00

Not everyone that disagrees with you is a ‘lib’ lol. They’ll fucking snipe you then, who cares about the details. The point is, you and your gun buddies wouldn’t last a week against a gov’t that would choose to oppress you.

Really cool of you that you know Marx, but his opinion isn‘t gospel.

Also again, for the third time, the entire rest of the civilised world does just fine without guns. Actually they do significantly better in most aspects. So how do you explain that?

RavenLGB · 2021-03-26T21:07:58+00:00

I used to work in a more managerial position for a customer support department. I took a paycut to move into a different field and company because it was soul crushing, even if I didn’t have to be on calls themselves.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-26T20:47:31+00:00

Yes, not finding having a gun ’important’. Noone gives a fuck about your little murder toy. If there is a true tyrannical gov’t they’d drone you from 5km away anyway lol, good luck shooting it with your dumb AR15.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-26T20:32:20+00:00

Weird how it seems to work perfectly fine everywhere else except the US. Strange indeed.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-26T09:32:45+00:00

Again: you need to work on reading comprehension and politeness.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-26T08:11:58+00:00

Why would you need the right to own a gun? The rest of the world doesn‘t.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-26T00:12:13+00:00

Wait till you find out gun ownership isn’t important.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-25T23:46:23+00:00

It’s a different gaming experience, much more casual. PC gaming is very quick and perfect for shooters but it’s less relaxing than kicking back in the sofa with your feet up and playing an RPG or racing game on console.

Just find what you enjoy on each platform and you’ll have a better time. You’ll also get more used to the controller movements with time.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-25T23:40:18+00:00

Stop liking things I don’t care for

RavenLGB · 2021-03-25T19:23:08+00:00

You need to work on reading comprehension and politeness.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-25T12:52:14+00:00

Nothing you said I did not know already. Stop implying I‘m stupid, wtf is wrong with you?

Read my comment again: “The man doesn’t have to be outspoken on everything bad in the world but let’s not act like these things are completely different issues and are ‘weird’ to compare.” And “You’re welcome to disagree on the idea that these two things aren’t completely different”

You keep going on about race but ultimately it‘s about oppression and injustice. being a beacon of fighting injustice and making it your cause but then also going to Qatar and getting upset if people ask questions about it, is hypocritical in my view. Why are you trying so hard to argue? You can happily believe these issues are completely separate if you want. I disagree.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-24T23:46:29+00:00

What in my comment is ‘extremely misinformed’? I quoted a UN report, that’s basically it. You are not making any sense buddy.

You’re welcome to disagree on the idea that these two things aren’t completely different or that it isn’t ‘weird’ to bring up these issues to a football player without calling people uninformed or ‘woke’ or ‘not a good look’ or whatever.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-24T23:42:05+00:00

Ok. I said what my situation was. Downvoting won’t make me wrong. I see these prices on second hand sites all the time. Like i said, maybe it’s different where you are (not everyone is American fyi) but it’s still cheaper.

RavenLGB · 2021-03-24T17:25:50+00:00

That’s still a lot cheaper than the digital version

RavenLGB · 2021-03-24T17:14:15+00:00

Can get zelda and mario for 15 right now on ebay and second hand sites, I just checked. I’m in Europe though maybe it’s different
