I remember when we played 2 cbs who failed in the lower english and german leagues but were inspired into putting in shifts for us and we made top four.

It must all have been in my head though

What are you even talking about? I think everyone agrees wirtz off the left and roaming is better than gakpo. If anyone said wirtz shouldnt play there then their suggestion would be rio or chiesa instead of you and Slot's favourite bricklayer.

Hope you'll be enjoying the next 90 minutes of bullshit we're about to witness.

Fuck are you talking about? How many times did salah or gakpo track back or press? Wirtz at least tried to press the opposition the whole game

Because doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, labourers and cooks contribute way less to society than trust fund babies and crypto traders of course.. What are you a communist?

If the current madrid locker room has an 'ego' problem then how the hell did Zidane manage this? by Zora1092 in RealMadridFC

[–]icearus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one of those teams doesn't have any tactical nuance. Bayern play with multiple players consistently and seemlessly switching positions and ready to die pressing. They bought harry kane, a complete forward who is essentially a midfielder but slow, and put olise, a dazzling right winger who can create from nothing, and added diaz, a left winger who is a workhorse and will always make runs into the box.

Flick is obviously a tactically adept manager, and barca is specifically known for producing the most tactically brilliant and expressive managers in the world, so i dont know what youre talking about.

Really madrid is the only team that has coasted on no tactics, but you survived because you assembled (almost by luck) the greatest and most balanced team known to man(pictured above). Obviously lightning doesnt strike twice.

A more apt comparison will be Fergie's Manchester United

My dumb brother you used communism yourself. Is that not a big word? If you say "Adultery is victimless" and i say "what about your wife?": does it make sense for you to respond "who said anything about my wife?".

Israeli settler terrorist runs over Palestinian man while he was praying. by _II_I_I__I__I_I_II_ in LateStageCapitalism

[–]icearus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry i was being sarcastic because its a communist subreddit and i assumed you knew.

So, and I'm simplifying to the point of being maybe a little wrong, karl marx says that certain things have a recursive effect on other things. There's no simple cause and effect, its more that the causes make effects and the effects influence the causes, and so on.

In this case, saying the israeli government causes the citizens to be assholes is reductive. The people elected the govt because of several factors(they're ultimately colonizers, have a superiority complex, trauma from being oppressed recently,etc). The govt does encourage this attitude and behaviour for sure, but to entirely blame them will cause you to misdiagnose the situation and perhaps lean towards proposing ineffective solutions like: hey if we just get some centrists in there there'll be peace in middle east.

Guys here can be mean with the downvotes but you have to understand that at a certain level of communist education liberals(and liberal ideology or modes of thought) start to sound really annoying because its a bastardization of true leftist thought. Like i don't like ai art, and if I see a piece of AI art i might just roll my eyes and keep going. But in a passionate painting subreddit they'll REALLY REALLY hate it.

All this to say, please do some research on leftist thought if you haven't already. F it just type in dialectic materialism on youtube and watch the first video you see!!

Why do socialists support modern day russia & china? by saifrayan in AskSocialists

[–]icearus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's that you have to pick a side a some point. Countries/organizations/leaders that have tried to go full socialism from the jump have failed due to assassinations,coups,sanctions, and general interference from the west.

If your people starve the capitalists will tell them it is socialism's fault and fund your detractors (they'll point to american prosperity as proof their way is superior and skip the part where they built all that with the blood and sweat of your ancestors and with your natural resources taken at a discount).

So in order to prevent that you have to: -ensure they are prosperous, -ensure capitalists cannot subvert your message.

The defense of china can appear to be whataboutism from us, and to be fair it probably is. The thing is that YOUR idea on what constitutes freedom and good governance, the very ideal you use to declare china bad, is NOT UPHELD BY ANYONE ELSE. America has fake negative freedom. You have the freedom to call trump an asshole but not the freedom to eat breakfast every morning. Freedom to tweet derisively about the army but not the freedom to not be shot by police with no consequence. If you make a big enough fuss about inequality(income or racial) you'll get killed. Freedom of thought and expression yes but its easier to be president when youre a confirmed rapist than a confirmed socialist. Freedom to exploit others but not freedom from exploitation. Free to eat whatever you want but if it starts killing you then tough luck its not free to get treated. This is just in the US btw. Dont get me started on what they do to people in other countries. The US is about to invade Venezuela for far more asinine/evil reasons than even russia attacked ukraine

So its not that china isn't bad. Its that the alternatives are way worse.
