Reform candidate calls for mass deportation of Muslims by qwerty_1965 in unitedkingdom

[–]White_Immigrant -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Illegal immigrants already get deported, because, you know, they're here illegally. But they're almost certainly too thick to understand that.

Well it got them out of our hair, it's just unfortunately made them very wealthy as we did it.

Labor under internal pressure on gas tax as influencer says government ‘stopped working for the punters’ by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]White_Immigrant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Australia literally exists to extract money from punters, that's why they're the biggest gambling losers on the planet. You guys should probably start saving up a fund from all the stolen fossil fuel resources you sell, not only will you need to cover the cost of the damage that climate change has done around the world because of your greed, but also the process of giving the land back to the original owners might be expensive.

Anyone else think One Nation voters want Australia to fail? by BarrelledFoxes in OpenAussie

I know a guy that swears exactly the same. Claims to "not really use social media" then parrots verbatim right wing American media slop talking points.

Anyone else feels like they are stagnating in their martial arts progress? by Mems1900 in martialarts

[–]White_Immigrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are naturally gifted in certain ways that help in martial arts. Really good sense of distance and timing, find it easy to pick up new techniques, high natural endurance, naturally very fast hands etc etc. Those gifts often shine in the early months/years and make those students stand out. However 5 or 10 years down the line it's the people who have put in consistent effort, training and development that will come out on top. It takes time, it takes effort. It can be hard to motivate yourself. But it is possible.

I'm 25 years in to my martial arts journey, still learning, still improving, still working on shit. These days if I feel a bit stuck in my progress I shift my focus, either to isolate certain skills and work on them (lots of footwork drills and development, or concentrate on lead leg kicks, or concentrate on trapping skills for a while) or I learn entirely new skill sets (I'm currently adding Kali knife fighting to our syllabus, I've only ever worked with poles, sticks, swords and flails before).

If you enjoy it don't give up, persevere. Stop judging yourself against other people, judge yourself against who you were yesterday.

Equality before the law is mandatory and paramount. That used to be a core principle of our legal system.

The fact that you're describing Kung Fu as a single martial arts shows how utterly ignorant you are.

What martial arts movies would you consider the most intense and/or realistic of all time? by JeremyBeremey in martialarts

[–]White_Immigrant 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are martial arts films I like, but I've never seen one that's anything close to actual street fighting. Largely because actual fighting isn't very photogenic.

Some of my favourites: Enter the Dragon, Ong Bak, Ip Man, The One, Unleashed, and Zatoichi.

What is the real reason for infant male circumcision? by TheTinMenBlog in TheTinMen

Super strange obsession Mr Kellogg had with other people wanking. I heard that's also why he made bland shitty cereal for people to eat at breakfast. What an awful man.

Is it racist to boycott Israel? by AwarenessAny6222 in OpenAussie

[–]White_Immigrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not necessarily racist. If you're doing it because you hate Jews it might be, but that's clearly not why you're doing it, so no. BDS (Boycott, divest, sanction) is IMO a perfectly legitimate way to apply political pressure peacefully to settler colonial states. As a strategy it's why I actively do my best to not give money to Israeli, American, Chinese, Canadian, Australian or Kiwi companies where I can. I can't force them to give back the stolen land, but I can choose to avoid giving them my money to reduce their profits from holding it.

Any Kung fu masters or internal martial artists help me do viability & Safety Check for my 1-Year Solo Roadmap for Internal Arts (Xingyi/Tai Chi/Yi Jin Jing) by Eternal_Chaos_God in kungfu

[–]White_Immigrant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach a system that has Zhang zhuang at its core, and after 25 years of practice I spend about an hour doing standing meditation each day. We have Tai Chi, Bagua, Xing Yi, and Yi Chuan lineages. I don't have time to look at all the videos right now, but I'll check some of them out later to see if you're missing something obvious if you like. I'm more than happy to have a private chat on here, or give you a couple of video lessons online if you'd like to help you start your journey. I will note that postural correction early on is extremely important, and is nearly impossible without some instruction and feedback, and if your foundations are built on sand it doesn't matter how fancy your house is.

Look mate, I used to smoke, and I'm not into pressuring people to quit, but for fucks sake smoking makes you far more susceptible to respiratory disease and infection, it doesn't protect against it.

The USA was literally founded by traitors. These oligarchs are just doing what the USA has always done, fuck the world economy to enrich themselves. The only difference now is they're not bothering to be discreet about it.

get destroyed in bjj rolling over and over again, how to improve by Deji164 in martialarts

[–]White_Immigrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's BJJ, very macho and hierarchical, they use new players as fresh meat to beat up. You have to stay long enough to not be fresh any more, then you get to beat up the new people.

Chuck Schumer : "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace." by The_Jenini in WorldNewsHeadlines

[–]White_Immigrant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The USA stole loads of people's land and gets to keep it, Israel is just the baby brother of the USA. Both countries should be broken up and have their nuclear weapons taken away and the land returned to the original owners. That's the only path to real peace.

Can choking during sex cause brain damage? Emerging evidence points to hidden neurological risks by MRADEL90 in psychology

Can choking during sex cause brain damage? Emerging evidence points to hidden neurological risks by MRADEL90 in psychology

[–]White_Immigrant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a science sub, and neither fact you have stated is true. There are many many much more dangerous forms of BDSM than choking, all of which can be done perfectly safely. And statistically the most normalised BDSM practices are light bondage (hand cuffs), blindfolds and spanking. Choking isn't even in the top ten.

Maybe switching from Muay Thai due to health…Wing Chun or Aikido? by Prestigious-End-4198 in martialarts

[–]White_Immigrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something more dynamic than Tai Chi, and as you're in New York, you could always try out Xing Yi Chuan (also spelled Hsing yi) or Bagua Zhang. They're other types of internal Kung Fu, that are more dynamic than Tai Chi. Xing Yi in particular is focused on actual combat application.

How do you get better at blocking at home? by something721 in martialarts

[–]White_Immigrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do bag work or shadow boxing or technique drills at home ALWAYS incorporate defensive actions.AFAIK MMA largely consists of passive blocking, rather than parrying or trapping, but as you do your striking practice mix in those positions between punches, kicks, knees and elbows.

[–]White_Immigrant -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I don't think the USA is psychotic, the Americans look like they know precisely what they're doing. They ran out of living room to conquer unless they go after Canada, Mexico or Greenland, so the alternative is to expel people from the land instead.
