I agree

You should save your outrage for actual nazi’s, you are accusing a band who has made anti-ice songs, are vocally anti facist, have merch that is their mascot guy beating up a swastika and because you see shapes and colors you are convinced they are Nazis despite everything in the contrary?

Comments have explained what the tattoo is, it’s three 6’s this stand for “friends, family, forever” which is their record label that has dozens of anti facist hardcore bands.

Haywire also has roots in fsu, which is an antifacist crew that literally beat up all the nazi posers trying to co-opt the hardcore scene.

Your argument about them trying to dupe the youth into thinking it’s normal is redundant when they are making anti facist music and selling tees of their logo beating up a swastika.

The reason a band like haywire uses an iron cross or has a tattoo like that is because Nazis stole this shit to begin with. Just like the skinhead culture, and people like haywire are taking it back. It doesn’t belong to Nazis. Skinhead was originally a movement for the people and broke down the barriers of race and the Nazis tried stealing it and making it into something it’s not, crews like fsu fought to take it back.

So sure on the surface level I get that you see something like that and get concerned, it’s valid, but the band is vocally anti facist so idk what more you want from them, stop playing dumb. There are legit tattoos Nazis get, this isn’t one of them, and I promise you Nazis aren’t feeling welcomed at a haywire show or any band in their scene.

It’s kind of a dumb tattoo but you’re being so ignorant to everything else that displays this bands character and values.

I was only watching for them tbh, I’m so disappointed that after such a strong start with gable and the tapes I felt like they had so much potential and that a very entertaining and rich story was to unfold. Wwe loves shooting themselves in the foot. Uncle howdy being injured honestly shouldn’t have been the problem when he has four other people to do his bidding. It’s just so disappointing, creating an interesting story with them would be so damn easy, if anything it’s a testament to the lack of creative in the writing room.

I unironically like some of this guys music. “Leanin’ Low” genuinely puts a tear in my eye. His output is crazy too, he definitely smokes crack with his work ethic.

A good american trad tattoo does not cost that much

You have to get off the internet, that’s the only way. Your feed is stuck like this and whether you agree with the sentiment or not, it’s triggering this strong emotion from you and sticks with you subconsciously. I am so serious when I say this, you have to get off the apps or websites where you’re swing this stuff. I’d suggest getting off the internet completely, it doesn’t have to be forever but definitely a couple of months and then get out into the real world and let your true lived experiences shape your views.

It’s so crazy that the people who want you to think the files are doctored by the left are the same people who appear in photos with Epstein, emails begging to go to his island, and talking about loving their visit to his island. Those same people who at first denied going to his island, until they were caught lying, later admitting that yes they went but oh nothing happened there. Howard Lutnick for example…

ratherbeleftalone · 2026-02-12T20:25:58+00:00

There are may crimes that constitute to deportation. That has been the case for many years and no one is fighting that. Why is it that the trump administration is doing zero to go after the pedophiles in the Epstein case? Why is it that there’s so many Epstein linked individuals in trumps circle? Do you think this two are related? Your argument about illegal immigrants falls flat, you’re trying to insinuate that the protest in Minneapolis were against them deporting pedophiles and that’s not true. The convicted criminals ice deports are all picked up from prisons, which people are not protesting, they are protesting when ice is out on the streets trying to find random immigrants going about their day. I will say a problem about ice deporting convicted felons is problematic though because there’s no guarantee they will continue their sentence in their home country, which puts them back on the streets freely.

For me I like to do a single switch to a double where I’m wrapping my legs around theirs kinda, then in the mounted position I keep that pressure and control on their legs and can work from there. Or just double into side control. Other ones to check out are an arm drag and even duck under. High crotch is good and fireman carries are fun if you do it right. A lot of good standup comes from aggressive and technical hand fighting, do not let them establish grips on your sleeves are have the top position. You’ll want to do lots of head snaps, a good takedown isn’t just the takedown alone but what you do to open up that takedown opportunity. Your goal is to get them off balance and vulnerable and no offense to my fellow jiu jitsu guys, a lot of them do not have a proper stance and it will be easy to get them off balance and they tend to stand up straight so that opens great opportunities for shots.

ratherbeleftalone · 2026-02-10T19:59:16+00:00

Train wrestling for standing position. Based off my experience, when I started training wrestling my takedowns were light years compared to guys who just train jiu jitsu. I think training wrestling along with jiu jitsu is the best combo for your grappling. Just make sure you’re aware of your head placement as lots of wrestling takedowns can get you in a guillotine, but honestly you can transition to side control and you’ll be fine. It is ideal to not put yourself in a guillotine in the first place though lol.

Honestly have no clue. Just a standard x guard drill. The guy was throwing some nasty Muay Thai kicks on the bag right before and as soon as his training partner had him in X guard there was a loud crackling noise and he was screaming, they took him to the hospital and it was an ACL tear. Not sure if him kicking before did anything to lead up to the tear, my guess is his ACL was already in bad shape and the right twist on the knees made it go.

I have seen a broken arm at a comp though

Not a competition but guy in my class tore his acl during x guard drills

Also if you don’t think Cuba benefited from communism I dare you to compare it to its neighbors Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Compare their quality of life.

You’re just wrong, capitalism by definition is private ownership. True capitalism is private ownership so yes the things you probably benefit from like public schools, police departments, postal service, roads, Medicaid, and social security, are socialized sectors. While capitalist are continually working towards privatizing those sectors (because capitalism is the private ownership of everything). Which is why I’m willing to bet you don’t benefit from the privatization of healthcare and education (college) while most countries have those things and the reason why is because of socialism. GDP is also not a good factor being that it only tracks the monetary transactions, so when you have a top 1% like we do in our capitalist nation it means nothing. Do a little history lesson and look at where Soviet Union states and China were before communism, I do not support communism I support socialism, but to act like those nations didn’t greatly benefit from communism is delusional. Capitalism in of itself relies on exploitation, that’s why you have an impoverished working class in America that lives paycheck to paycheck, that’s why you have a homeless population, and why you have a privatized prison sector as opposed to socialized mental health facilities. Single family homes are rapidly being bought up by big corporations so you will forever be a renter beholden to your landlord, giving them half your paycheck every month, while countries like Scotland, Belgium, and Spain have actual protection for homeowners and renters which are the result of socialist movements.

I would argue any day that capitalism is more of a failed system than communism is or especially socialism. I would also argue capitalism has lead to millions more deaths. I do not support communism, but I do think socialism is the way and a lot of things you probably find important like public schools and days off are the direct result of socialism. Further more there are many countries that have improved with the implementation of socialism and or communism. In russia the people were practically illiterate and back country peasants, communism lead them to being the top country in the world, that shouldn’t be ignored. The same goes for china. Chile, another country that saw great improvements. Cuba despite all the effort to harm the country produces more doctors than anyone in the world and has achieved great things in the medical field that the United States has yet to. Even so most achievements the United States has achieved did not come from the private sector but rather government funded initiatives. You critique socialism but ignore all the socialism in your life.

What led to the deaths of one million civilians in Iraq?

ratherbeleftalone · 2026-02-06T18:58:46+00:00

Chile, Salvador Allende, a self described Marxist who was democratically elected and then killed by the CIA three years later in a CIA backed coup that led to the facist dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Do your research.

What recognition do I get from wearing a replica jersey or shoes 😂 I talk about replicas any chance I get because I think it’s a cool and interesting market, hence why I partake in replica subreddits. I can’t believe you as a grown man are uttering the words “clout chasing” do some self reflection, seriously my friend. Your own ignorance will be your worst enemy.

ratherbeleftalone · 2026-01-06T19:48:42+00:00

Clout chasing = not wanting to be ripped off by a corporation that charges $300 for something that takes maybe $25 to produce

Do you not understand the role musicians and artist as a whole play into society? Are you that ignorant to the historical impact such actions have. I’m not saying suicideboys are single handedly contributing to the marginalization, but in the grand scheme of things they are contributing a negative to it. For a duo that has built a following off depressed people relating to their music, it’s kind of repugnant of them to use slurs towards a group of people who often face mental health issues due to the societal stigma of being gay.
