they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.
I got curious about how consistent each @mls.bsky.social team has been in making the playoffs. @soundersfc.com lead the league, making the postseason 94% of their seasons.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.
Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.
And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.
Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.
The 1984 is strong in many folks right now. War is peace, ignorance is strength, dictatorship is democracy ... sigh.

Everyone's saying that Luis Suarez received a ban for the spitting thing. So the "starting a brawl" and "headlocking an opponent" things were okay?
Oh, and MLS had better come out with similar bans for league matches. The world is watching.
