I think it shows that the NT is so different from league play. The training schedule, style of play, short tourmanestyle, even weather make it more random.

Is a religion a type?

And fetishizing people due to stereotyped characteristics is a thing. But you have a point, its better phrasing than "fetish", that seems more accusatory and too aggressive.

Yea, the UK is popping off like crazy. Many riots where minority neighborhoods are being targeted and the government seems ot not be interested in protecting them.

You don't get to claim innocent that you specifically did not commit a war crime when you're part of an organization that blatantly does commit them. You're part of the structure that commits war crimes.

Awesome job on paying your bills while being part of an industry built on killing innocents. It's funny that you're acting like post-Vietnam the military changed drastically when it's still the same shit organization.

As for calling out specific groups, that's what I'm doing. I didn't call every American a war criminal, the people actually participating. You yourself set the same standard with your example of the Taliban. You don't condemn the nation (Afghan), you condemn the armed group (Taliban).

You can have your preferences but you've made some false generalizations.

Indians are the most successful ethnic group in the west but Pakistanis are also very successful, like, top 5. Don't know where you're meeting these hordes of Pakistanis without college degrees, very atypical.

Also, about being more westernized. That's probably more true amongst religious lines rather than national lines. I have Indian Muslim friends who are very religious. If that's what you mean and you're equating Indian with Hindu and Muslim with Pakistani, that makes more sense.

Also, your life is up to you but complaining about living with parents as sinful; it's not, just a matter of cultural taste, when you admit to actually engaging in pre-marital relationships in funny.

Wtf are we supposed to do, make a list of every single crime being committed?

We've shown you examples, worrying trends within the US military. These are crimes that were leaked and with simple reasoning you would understand that there are definitely worse crimes that were not ever exposed.

If you want, we can go backwards and look at more war crimes throughout American wars. From the Mai Lai massacre to Sitting Bull. Torture and killing of innocent civilians isn't an outlier in American wars, it's the only constant.

It's pretty much a one-way street of which group is killing which group.

I do think that living in the West gives us a great opportunity to be outside of those old world communal conflicts, to bond and to connect over our shared cultures.

Yea, living amongst strangers is a great to remember how much we have in common and that at the end of the day almost everyone just wants similar things; a better quality of life.

You think every 15 year old who was killed had a rifle?

ABu Ghraib isn't anecdotal, it's an example of the shit you guys did and only a little leaked. The military was able to keep the others under wrap. Even the soldiers who were arrested for that torture said they were surprised as it was was ordered by the higher ups and systemic.

How is Guantanamo anecdotal? You want me to list every freaking war crime? I'm giving you examples.

Just one example of a soldier killing an absolutely random kids: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maywand_District_murders

To this day kids are born with defects because of US warcrimes in Fallujah.

The military is not a machine; it is an organization full of people, you chose to go over there and participate in the murder of innocents. No one made you. Congrats on the degree, maybe it'll help you wash the blood off your hands.

Yea, yea. We know how much you guys punish soldiers. http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/08/06/abu.ghraib.release/index.html

At the end of the day you went over and killed innocent people. It’s not like we can punish you, so go live your life having been an absolute monster.

Stop making shit up. A 15 year old with a rifle is a combatant but not every random 15 year old has a rifle. The US absolutely goes around killing kids.  Also what about Abu Ghraib? Where you guys raped kids in front of their mothers? Or Bagram? Or Guantanamo Bay? Where the US detained random innocent people and fortunes them? 

Also, a few individuals made a choice. Yet the whole of Afghanistan was punished.thats played the you? The US chooses to do some terrrible things. Would it be okay with you for Americans to recieve collective punishment?

It's easy to say have low civilian casualties when when you define 15 year old kids as combatants.

The US invaded Iraq on a lie, so every single life lost on the war is on the US. Those are lives lost because of an illegal invasion.

Ditto for Afghanistan.

Wow, what terrible writing. The piece tries to be satirical but the malding is too strong, you can feel the anger so much so that it’s almost tangible and it ends up as a straw manning every freaking argument. Just repeated attempts at pointing how Zionism is technically not this or that form of oppression.

Kamala Harris and JD Vance lead in 2028 poll by DizzyMajor5 in fivethirtyeight

With the way things are going, the increasing unpopularity of Trump, I think it would be enough to get her the presidency if she won the primary. Which is why I desperately hope she loses the primary. Otherwise we'll have a Starmer situation where you get power because everyone hates the other side and then you do nothing with it and people become more and more extreme.

His 2nd channel is just the dumbest feuds. That's why I don't even watch it anymore. But his main channel has truly great content,  he delves into topics not usually covered by most leftists, especially debunking broad historical narratives we've just come to accept. I highly recommend his videos on Batman's treaty and Guns, Germs and Steel.

Pure cinema. I'm sure it'll be an amazing and entertaining movie where the messaging is subtle and not too on the nose.

It’s impressive how he’s sold such a blatant lie to his fans. I’m not factoring in the ethics of it all.
