I will once again mention that ICE detention centers were intended to be “non-punitive” when they were first established, and now they’re concentration camps.

The one that comes to mind for me is when Kamala said Trump would use the military against US citizens, and then we saw that with the National Guard.

I know this isn’t what you were going for at all, but in my head, I went to you thinking the MLS is better than Bundesliga

Leicester City

I wish the doomsday preachers were a little more angelic instead of propagandizing for the regime from the pulpit.

It’s not rubbish, though, is it? I could see the humour in some contexts but wearing it to a Bundesliga match is just rude.

Tbf, premier league champions were flirting with relegation during UCL knockouts in 16-17, no?

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

That sounds extremely unrealistic.

ICE, maybe

Meanwhile it’s the PGMOL that should be dismantled down to the ground and rebuilt

FA Cup progression and Robbo’s goal. I love still being in the FA Cup and Champions League and touching distance of top 4

So why hasn’t it felt good recently? Well, it’s because watching us lose is harder with Slot’s style. Watching draws as well; and occasionally wins, but not after Robbo scores

Michael Oliver is a shadow of the ref he used to be. I blame the PGMOL

I’ll give you that the USA is much worse under Trump 👍

It’s nice to see him recognizing the tempo as a problem. I feel like I’ve been waiting all season for that, though I did also stop watching his pressers tbf

stfu, that’s not what the post meant and you know it

Just FYI, there’s no such thing as “American state media”

In every discussion? Damn.

Totally, but I’m wondering if it makes the most sense to put the “extreme schadenfreude” and othering at the center of what fascism is, or if their in-group identity politics trumps that. To your point, it’s probably both together, right at the core of the issue.

“Exclude” is far too simplistic, but I ran out of characters 😬

You’re hitting on a really interesting point. My hesitation is whether fascism is focused on the other more than the in-group. It seems to me that fascist othering is fungible. The othered identity doesn’t matter in itself because it’s about having someone to exclude. In-group identity is paramount.

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

I maintain my position from last year… that the overall quality of the league is as high or higher than it’s ever been. It’s just that relegation candidates are twice the teams they would have been 10 years ago.

I keep hoping the wave of repentant magas is about to come and break the back of this absurd fascist movement, but so far they’re mostly content to be duped.

How I feel when someone blocks me.

ffs, how can you seriously have this little integrity. It’s wild.

Some day, I hope you have a little more grace with people earnestly trying to reduce the divisive behavior of US voters who can’t understand why anyone would want to ask more of Dems.

Can you speak more about your plans to bring them over or other actions you’re planning to hold the regime accountable? This post risks sounding like you’re just passing the buck.

Well, it doesn’t help when people lie about what you said while rejecting all attempts to clarify.
