It’s only now climate change has reached Europe that everybody is panicking. The Caribbean was getting its ass beat for years now with supercharged hurricanes
“For me personally, it’s not like all that much is changing. It’s just another big tournament, to be honest.”
USMNT star Christian Pulisic is on latest edition of GQ magazine.
He knows people are excited about the World Cup, but he’s relaxed about it.
“I get texts from my family and close friends—they're definitely all excited about it, for sure,” Pulisic said.
“I mean, I feel like I’m constantly playing in big games. For me personally, it’s not like all that much is changing. It’s just another big tournament, to be honest.
“A lot of people are trying to make it even more than it is. I get it, it’s a huge tournament [shrugs].
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Let’s see if this relaxed attitude can ease pressure off of Pulisic and help him shine in the World Cup.
Phillips "This is not a country where people get thrown in jail for things they say"
@ZackPolanski: 2,700 people have been arrested for holding up signs
And well done to Zack for challenging Phillips smear that 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is antisemitic
The U.S. blockade on Cuba is also punishing Caribbean nations for their historic ties to Cuba. And that pressure could have an enormous impact on sectors like health across the Caribbean.
Before the Cuban revolution, US financial interests owned:
90% of Cuba’s mines
80% of public utilities
50% of railways
40% of sugar production
25% of bank deposits
The illegal blockade on Cuba🇨🇺, which even now includes fuel imports, is punishment for Cubans daring to reclaim their sovereignty.
The addition of blocking fuel imports is the punishment for daring to resist the US’ pressure for decades.
@StarQueen_9 Call it whatever you want. The point is that these countries won't stand a chance against the US imperialism that is occurring RIGHT NOW unless there is a collective opposition to it. There won't be any frameworks to dismantle if the US has destroyed your country
@catgirlnotagirl@Serene_Necrosis@CarrieCnh12 hemispheric internationalism was literally the message that was being conveyed – they had every single flag from the hemisphere! you have such an issue with the semantics of Americanness that you're actively overlooking and mischaracterising what the performance did achieve
@catgirlnotagirl@Serene_Necrosis@CarrieCnh12 he referred to the lands as by what most people know them as. that doesn't make it "right", but it means his messaging is clearer for the majority of people who don't actively engage in this discourse and just wanna watch football
What’s also funny about Bad Bunny refusing to sing in English is that the non-Spanish speaking Western/white leftists were also left confused - so much that they’re convinced he was promoting imperialism lol
If anything the opposite is true.
@bundyhinds But that's not what Benito's message is, and it's plain as day to anyone willing to use an ounce of critical thinking skills and honesty.
That entire performance was US imperial propaganda, and talking about Pan-Americanism, the idea of a hegemonic identiy, plays into that.
@Serene_Necrosis@CarrieCnh12 you want to explain how you reached the conclusion that encouraging the Caribbean, LatAm & Canada to show some semblance of unity in light of the actions of the existential, fascist threat facing ALL of them is part of a Spanish colonial framework?
