@cryptomanran@SBF_FTX The war is fully in the open now. Everyone needs to forget Occam’s razor. We need to go full cypherpunk, and real decentralisation needs to be the focus. The walls of our technocratic prison are nearly erected. Ditch the greed and clout chasing and build for humanity not profit.
@M38555500Mannie@DExpress_Sport Like you say, he is about as polar opposite a player from Ten Hags ideal as you could possibly think of. British media are a funny lot.
@Tsagatido@DExpress_Sport Ten Hags mission has been to cut out players with his attitude from the starting XI. Imagine how much fruitful effort bringing him back would undo.
@DExpress_Sport Which fans? Never known a player to be so immediately and completely exorcised from the collective conciousness of United fans as Pogba.
@GTalichad@The_P_I_G@eurogamer Nothing more narcissistic than demanding the masses across vastly different cultures and value systems participate in your self loathing fuelled fantasy world. Staggering how blinded they become, ignoring their own hubris and bigotry because they believe they are righteous.
@sigvif@Ganta_Igarashi_@eurogamer@ed_nights Disgusting @eurogamer became unreadable very quick. Only article this week with no comments, propaganda. I was blocked by Ed for pointing out the racism and homophobia in the article. Digital Foundry carrying the whole outfit, and even they are starting to feel stale these days.
@The_P_I_G@eurogamer@ed_nights And he insta blocked me. It’s the logical rebuttals and exposing their fascism they can’t stand. Hence why comments are disabled on the article.
@The_P_I_G@eurogamer Yes @ed_nights racism is malicious. Implying the Japanese are culturally backward because they’re not consumed by the woke virus like Eurogamer are. And homophobia by falsely stating that the character who doesn’t like traditional masculine hobbies is gay. Deluded hypocrites.
@ma13319431 @Alana_K_Asby@catturd2 USA is like the EU, attempt to centrally control polar opposite cultures with one set of rules. Both failed experiments. We are years deep into propaganda campaigns designed to dehumanise large sections of society in the eyes of the other. Dangerous trajectory and very sad.
@Jaapaley @WallStreetSilv Agree, but the 'start of the fall of the empire' was half a century ago. Just moving into more advanced stages of the inevitable.
@coldslime@WallStreetSilv Normalising low level instances in the general population. So when the big one hits they accept the reasons they are fed without further questions.
@Malhashir@ESPNFC Opening two games! learned fast didn’t he though? Genius man, playing with two hands behind his back compared to clubs backing managers in January. #ManchesterDerby#ErikTenHag
@spurscc@PavlovLore@DaleJohnsonESPN Not true, one sees no foul, one blows whistle, one plays advantage, one cards for diving. Four outcomes, now you have another ref who might pick a different option. Gets messy fast, fix is refs explaining thinking in realtime referring to laws of the game, no appetite for that.
@spurscc@PavlovLore@DaleJohnsonESPN Perhaps ridiculous, but the people at the top of football are megalomaniacs. They've doubled the numbers of humans making (as you rightly say) SUBJECTIVE decisions. Actually increasing the number of possible outcomes for incidents. Goalline/Hawkeye is clear cut and reliable.
@PavlovLore@spurscc@DaleJohnsonESPN No ref has to justify their decision, opaque. The pundits spend hours dissecting VAR post game, presenting multiple versions of what they might have been thinking. The VAR ref is an extra variable that can decide whether to intervene on any incident. More humans, more errors.
@clund_80 @spurscc@PavlovLore@DaleJohnsonESPN But there is a dearth of investigative journalists exposing it. Normally they are involved in suppressing stories. Client journalism where they push club/player propaganda in order to retain access. It's all very transparent, you don't need to be a conspiracy theorist to see it!
@spurscc@PavlovLore@DaleJohnsonESPN I understand it seems impossible to even suggest corruption. But football is one big PR exercise, and relentless coverups over decades that can't happen unless the press are complicit. It's a racket, no one who's career depends on it would ever do real journalism. One big grift.
@spurscc@PavlovLore@DaleJohnsonESPN We know football controllers (UEFA/FIFA) are some of the most corrupt people. The implementation of VAR is opaque enough that it's design makes you question the real motive. A fixed view that it's just incompetence and suggestion of corruption is deluded is more outlandish IMO.
@DaleJohnsonESPN I assume you're painting me as a caricature so you don't actually have to engage on the points? Which part do you disagree with? VAR implementation objectively poor compared to sports with far less money, you haven't been briefed on officials thought process post-game?
@kpm584 Humans make mistakes and with VAR there are now more of them involved in the process! It's all very opaque, they could shut down conspiracy chat by making their thinking transparent in real time as in rugby/cricket, they don't want to. Why? The refs don't trust themselves.
@PavlovLore@DaleJohnsonESPN If VAR was implemented competently, like in Cricket/Rugby, refs giving realtime explanation of decisions we wouldn't need 'experts' doing explainers. @DaleJohnsonESPN is giving an opinion on what he thinks officials were thinking, not reality. Working backwards from a conclusion.
