The racism is disgusting and I happily cheered Spain to win because of that and other factors like Spain's support for Palestine. There is plenty of racism in Spanish football too but it is not overtly adopted by the squad itself.

Your first screenshot could be from any 80s Serie A game, any 90s Premier League game, any 00s League of Ireland game, and any game in South America yesterday. As someone who actually goes to football matches, what happens on the pitch frequently fails to make it to the screen. It's just unavoidably televised at the World Cup.

I'm sorry but the way they played was the way everyone played 30 years ago. It's up to the referees, with more tools than ever, to implement the rules, and they did. Playing rough, or even playing negatively, are not against the rules or any less valid. It didn't work for them last night and yes for neutrals it's never as good, but this is sport not sports entertainment.

If everyone played exactly the same it would be boring. And as international transfers homogenise everything, we don't have Brazil playing jogo bonito, we don't have Ireland playing I-cant-believe-its-not-gaelic-football, we don't have Germans playing elaborate sweeper systems. At least Argentina are pretty much the same as they were when Maradona played, and Sivori before him - tough, ugly and liable to produce individual magic. They have an identity. I don't know why anyone is surprised at them retaining it, or it nearly being successful. Again.

There's a reason people watched Mike Tyson as much as they watched Muhammad Ali.

You didn't even understand what I wrote so maybe I'm being overly optimistic that you can understand secondary effects.

Incredibly stupid attitude. Do you think everyone who reads about fascism is interested in fascism? Eager to get the latest updates from how fascists are doing?

The manosphere crap is already affecting your life whether you're aware of it or not. This is not celebrity gossip, it is the same hijacking of new media that 10 years ago put a reality TV host in the White House. Things aren't relevant to you until they are very, very relevant to you.

I know you seem to think this gives you some sort of "I only care about important things" cred, but you have to be ignorant of huge problems with our society to not know who they are, so maybe dial back the performance.

Stone itself isn't inert either?

Are you against single party states now?

The company name is literally Malus

On second thought people keep naming companies things like Palantir

If you were on your hexbear account, what image macro would you use to express the emotions that lead you to this point?
