Ahh yes, I see you know your judo well

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers.

Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

The fact that this isn’t the picture on every front page tells you everything you need to know about the media

one function of sex education in schools is that it can help children identify when they've been abused, or if the behaviour of an adult is inappropriate. removing it would only make it easier for predators to take advantage of children, as this redditor alleges matthew has done

Is this not a terrorist attack then?

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

Slavery was so long ago and we’re supposed to be over it until you want to have an image of the resistance of enslaved people, then it’s too political. They will never forgive Haiti for winning their freedom. They made Haiti pay France reparations for 150 years and still salty.

[Ishaan Tharoor @ishaantharoor]

FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s.

It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.

They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.

They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.

Notice how the left-wing discourse around Fidel arises just as the US is trying to take Cuba? It's the exact same thing with Iran, It's amazing how easily some of you are prodded into engaging with this sort of stuff at the most convenient moment possible for the imperialists.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes.

I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly.

Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce.

Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.

The european mind can't comprehend a game being so boring that they have the time, attention, and energy to do a barbeque while watching

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Never believe anyone who tells you a better world is not possible.

[Mouin Rabbani @MouinRabbani]

We’ve reached the point where Nazi Germany placed less restrictions on foreign participation in the 1936 Olympics than has the United States for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Dirty rotten scoundrel Gianni Infantino must never be allowed to live down his obsequious sycophancy towards the US leadership.

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Extremely stupid and dangerous of the UK political media to be promoting the idea of Jewish exceptionalism for crimes committed by violent ethnonationalists, just because they've been victims of ones themselves.

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

They joke about raping Palestinian men and killing Palestinian babies but will cry “blood libel” and “antisemitism” when you call them the bloodthirsty parasites they are.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

We all knew these situations were going to happen, and so did FIFA. Yet they still allowed the World Cup to go ahead in the U.S. They are not receiving anywhere near the level of scrutiny they should.

[Rakesh Kumar @Rakeshhkumaar]

If socialism and fascism are the same, why did the largest fascist movements destroy unions, jail communists, and protect industrialists? Because fascism doesn’t challenge capitalist power. When capitalism is in crisis, fascism steps in to defend it.
