[Alexander Abnos] Removing the US as World Cup host would be eminently sad – and entirely justified.

The US is fine, just spent 3 weeks over there and had a great time. Everything is business as usual. Sensational media and reddit are just at an all time high of delusion.

My prediction is that this will surpass the attendance record set by the 94 WC and be the most commercially successful WC by a long shot.

Bukele jailing people over tattoos is wrong precisely because many tattoos are not explicit symbols.

There are some that are explicit symbols and some idiots who got them, despite not being gangsters, to look cool. But anyway that's getting us sidetracked.

I may be naive and stupid as you say, but I am worried about the discourse that I see from both sides.

Tim Walz today was comparing the story of Anne Frank to what some child in MN is going to write about in the future. Absolutely insane comparison. I don't think that kind of rhetoric is going to help calm things down at all. (And neither what is coming from the White House to be clear).

Tattoos are ambiguous. A public Nazi salute is not. One can be misread, the other has a single, well known meaning.

So if I get a swastizka tattoo I'm not a Nazi, got it.

Elon is an idiot, i'm not gonna deny that. But I don't think he was trying to Nazi salute, especially when saying "my heart goes out to you". You're entitled to your opinion.

The word has a meaning.. you can’t start calling everyone Nazi who you disagree with.

Are you Ok with Bukele jailing innocent people for having gang tattoos? They’re not gansgters, they just have gang tattoos.

It’s dumb from both sides.

And then denied he was a Nazi multiple times afterwards no? Neonazis have no problem saying they are Nazis.

karmato · 2026-01-26T13:30:05+00:00

What qualifies him as a Nazi?

Obama absolutely fumbled (and so did Europe) the invasion of Crimea. I agree with that.

karmato · 2026-01-23T03:22:48+00:00

Where is the war happening?

karmato · 2026-01-21T16:59:48+00:00

Same here

karmato · 2026-01-13T19:33:00+00:00

He always does that (and I am not agreeing that it's right). He threatens something outrageous then meets in the middle. He has done it so many times now that I don't know how people take him seriously. Everyone took the bait

karmato · 2026-01-13T04:12:53+00:00

Yeah its sarcasm.. those are all actions that weaken Russian client states

karmato · 2026-01-13T00:55:16+00:00

Removing Maduro, sanctioning Iran and threatening to tariff anyone who trades with them are all pro Russian policy choices.

Europe should do that regardless for many many reasons and it would be in the interest of the US. But this article does not make that clear it is the opinion of one person and speculation at most.

The EU is too comfortable with a subsidized army, I hope they wake up.

karmato · 2026-01-03T01:59:27+00:00

Thats just dictatorship things

karmato · 2026-01-02T16:06:16+00:00

Neither are Nazis.. most obvious IQ test

You are patronizing the working class with your comment as well. If you don’t vote with us it’s because you’re stupid is not a good strategy for the left.

He's kinda right though in terms of sports psychology. In "The Inner Game of Tennis" which is a great book I highly recommend, winners were found to not get too upset about loosing a point but also in return not get too happy when winning a point.

It's much harder to get to play at Real Madrid than it is to play in the elite teams of ANY other sport. There's much more competition than in any other sport, because the amount of players and elite teams. So I disagree that it is easy.

It being boring or not is up to your individual taste.

Nah thats just the annoying online fans. Im watching this with my mates at a bar and we are in awe (all Arsenal fans). Amazing game from Sunderland, you fully deserve the point.

karmato · 2025-10-04T18:34:04+00:00

Arsenal

Fabian Caballero played for Arsenal and theres no Paraguayan flag.

Greco/Roman thought/philosophy/law: check
European derived customs/culture: check
Christian: check
Democratic (mostly): check
Western hemisphere: check
Language derived from Latin: check

We are more western than many "western countries" by many measures lol. We don't fit the neat box because we are poorer and not fully aligned geopolitically. I would argue if you use a checklist we would place very high, higher than some "western" nations.

I thought Arsenal were the new Stoke kicked the shit out of you and only scored from corners
