Has anyone else noticed that almost everything described as "un-American" is in fact very American?
The answer to all this Americanisation is to create a new sport. Ad breaks in each half, 30m half times, peace prizes, goals twice the size for more scoring, US always wins. It can be called "soccer". The rest of the world can then get on with playing football
Does anyone else find Israel apologists shrill and insufferable when their incoherent arguments are challenged?
I'm very close to blocking any mention of the word 'soccer'. It seems the prefix to 'mom' that I thought meant 'suburban' or 'middle class' is actually what people in countries where they play games with hands and ovals call football
Why does the nepo Nazi Musk, who's non-indigenous to either continent he's lived in, keep going on about immigration in Europe, a continent that's whiter than a Klansman's wet dream?
I'm told "antisemitic" is a misnomer for hating Jews (Semitic people being flawed race theory). So on no a/c can it be extended to hating other people commonly seen as Semitic (no such thing, doncha know), eg Palestinians, Lebanese. But it can be extended to opposing Israel's atrocities against them
It's exhausting arguing with nitpicking/whataboutery apologists for Starmer's complicity in genocide. Gonna just block on sight in future
When you think about it, what's had the worst impact on UK politics and society is not Islam but the malevolent influence of "Judeo-Christian" countries, namely the US, Israel and Russia
How many accounts do I need to block of sad men who feel the need to post repulsive pictures of themselves at the gym?
Why is it called the Iran war and not the US/Israel war? Presumably because the US/Israel combo attack so many countries, US/Israel war wouldn't be specific enough
I'm going to start muting people who still whinge about people not voting for Kamala Harris. It's done. The lesson to be learnt is don't be shit and rely on the other lot being shitter. Labour in the UK haven't learnt it and risk letting in fascism there too, unless the Greens can save the day
As perpetrators of an illegal war of aggression, in gross violation of international law, I presume Israel will be slung out of Eurovision and the US from the World Cup, with all games in the US urgently relocated
You could categorise the main UK parties as follows: Tories - nasty party Labour - new nasty party Reform - really very nasty party Greens - hope party Lib Dems - wishy-washy hope party Your Party - go home old man
If you're a racist it must be very comforting that your head of government is a racist too
Just as hating Jews for being Jewish is not ok because of Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, Israel's atrocities are not ok because the Palestinians' cause is supported by some shit regimes as well as by most decent people. This should be obvious
It seems the term "antisemitic" can be stretched to mean anyone who opposes Israel's atrocities but not anyone who endorses the annihilation of Palestinians, a Semitic people if ever there was one. Because reasons. And if you callenge this, you're, er, antisemitic
In the face of Trump, the UK and EU, in both their interests, should just pretend Brexit never happened. The perfect "reset". Nothing much would need to change other than things easing back to the sensible, working normality of trade, freedoms, movement and interaction that existed previously
Some here claim Jews needn't even follow Judaism or have a link to Palestine for 2,000 years to be fully entitled to it. But the longstanding indigenous Semitic people (if ever there was one) have no such rights and shouldn't even be considered Palestinian. And to suggest otherwise is antisemitic!
On the traditional birthday of a Palestinian raised in Judaism, who gave rise to Christianity, greatly influenced Islam, and whose moral teachings on care for others echo the best in human ethical philosophy across the ages and throughout the world... Merry Christmas one and all! 🧑🎄
Imagine the warning from history documentaries they'll be making some years from now about Donald Trump and MAGA
Was there a border between the US and Mexico before Europeans came and fucked up the American continent?
Apart from Brexit, little threatens UK security, rights and freedoms more than joining Russia and Belarus as the only European states not in the ECHR. Instead of banning opposers of genocide, Labour should pass a law proscribing as terrorists any party or individual that advocates leaving the ECHR
Am I the only one who thinks that this Charlie Kirk guy who was killed by one of the guns he loved so much looks a bit like Butt-Head, while his killer looks like Lee Harvey Oswald?
A large proportion of Americans are so intellectually challenged and ethically depraved that they can vote for a child raping authoritarian moron like Trump, twice! Yet they can all have as many lethal guns as they like. Is anyone surprised why there are so many senseless shootings in the US?
When the prospect of your impending death causes such widespread excitement and joyous hope, you probably haven't lived your best life
With all the debate in the US about putting the Ten Commandments everywhere, I'm thinking what if they were updated in a way not even decent Christians, or those of other faiths or none, could object to? My suggestions follow. /ctd
