We regressed. After the murderous 90s and the shitty 2000s we had some years up until the pandemic in which racist politics didn't have the same draw it has now.

Just like any country, we did not defeat racism. We let it bubble under the surface and now it's exploding. There are still millions of people who don't think that way. But the majority is now totally fine with racialized politics.

As someone who was born into the ball chasing cult, there are three things:

  1. The social aspect. It's the one thing that brings my family together, each week, to watch the game. For away games, you have a cookout with some family friends, buy some drinks and then you watch the game. If it's in the evening, then you go out afterwards. For home games, you gather the same group, but now you're gonna meet more people in the arena, people you know because they're also in the cult. You have a drink, you have a laugh and you catch up with them. Our team is a second division side with some okay players and a great goalie, so the game is almost relegated (heh) to play second fiddle.

Oh and don't get me started on the choreos.

  1. Hometown pride: This team has been here since the 19th century and for me, going to the games or even having just a passing interest in the team is part of being from that town.

You tag lamp posts in your town with their stickers and you do the same in the surrounding smaller cities. By looking at the stickers in any given town, you can see to which city their youth gravitates, which tickles my brain in ways I can't explain.

  1. It's fun to watch: Arguably the weakest reason, but God damn, sometimes even second division footy just looks so good! When you see someone pull off a sick trick or make a clean tackle or catch, you get that sweet dopamine kick, it's insane.

I'd never beat someone because of their allegiance. Those people can kick rocks.

Imma be real: If someone tries to tell me, that Stalin's purges were totally justified, they're a tankie. If someone tells me that only "bad people" have suffered under regimes trying to achieve communism, they're a tankie. If someone tells me that I must support Iran or Russia because they are not the US, they might be a tankie.

Israeli soldiers torture one-year-old Gaza child to force confessions from his father

Mengele surgically attached children to each other to recreate "Siamese twins". He removed the eyes of a twin and implanted them into their sibling. He injected Typhoid bacteria into small children and opened their skulls without anesthesia.

The IOF is a gaggle of genocidal maniacs. They torture, maim and kill. They are not worse than Nazi Germany. Little of what humans have done on this earth is worse than Nazi Germany.
