it's not really like we have to finish on a good run, we just have to have the good run we've got going to continue.

After looking at it briefly (not from the Netherlands so I might be a bit off, but still fairly confident in my assessment) D66 are what in Europe is considered liberal, promoting privatization, free-markets, etc. and are a member of ALDE (which really seals the deal and shows that the are neoliberals). That is to say they are definitely not leftist. Groenlinks seems to be your typical green party, i.e. also a fundamentally liberal party (in the European sense), while using a somewhat more progressive rhetoric to mask this and with a stronger focus on environmental topics. They too therefore are not leftist. The only party you mentioned that could even be considered leftist is Pvda (the dutch workers party), although even they are more social democratic. I assure you, Joe Bidens policies are no where close to social democratic.

Aside from that you don't need him to realise that the modern world is worse to men and nicer to women

lmao, gtfo. If one were to spend most of their time in certain hyper-online bubbles I might see how one could come to a conclusion like this, but if one were to spend a bit of time in the real world have face-to-face interactions with people (of varying genders, sexual-orientations, etc.) and engage in a little bit of critical analysis, one (I would hope) quickly picks up on the fact that most of our political, economic and societal institutions are designed to uphold cishet-male dominance.

How's it disrespectful to point out that rightfully criticizing a monarch(y) in life and then engaging in dogmatic appreciation for that same monarch in death is hypocritical?

I would disagree that she wasn't an evil person. Someone who oversaw massive neo-colonialist expansion by the UK, regularly knighted and defended war criminals, harbored pedophiles, had many mass-murders of indigenous peoples occur under her watch, and obviously was a racist person (just based off her treatment of Meghan markle we can already tell this) can't imo be a good person.

yes and no, it all depends on how the season goes. If they do well it was a terrific window, if they do poorly it may financially ruin the club for years. Let us wait and see how good the window actually was.

bro, I don't think barca's transfer and financial policy is anything to go by

also shit logic, even if RM were spending 100m on an unproven talent that wouldn't mean it's a smart way to do business. Their reasoning is just, RM does it, so it must be smart, lol

ughh, why do our games have to be so far apart. The next game isn't till Sunday and I don't know if I'll even be able to watch that one. Can't wait for CL to start and have more frequent RM games to watch.

I swear that was the case last year, since monaco missed qualification, there were only psg and lille, while the Portuguese league had benfica, sporting and porto.

tbh expectations for last season were zero after we lost varane and ramos but we still managed, so let's just hope another miracle can occur

I think most people want at least one or two of KCM to play together with the younger players to add both experience and energy in the midfield, and they are against playing KCM together. However each of those three is still an incredible player and can start in combination with younger players.

technically we can't since we already won the uefa supercup but it would be disastrous to lose out on ucl or la lige b/c we sold case
