It kinda rubs me in the wrong way how so many people ask for boycott for middle east countries but don't have the same energy for literally the biggest supporter and contributor for genocides and overall wars and political conflicts around the world aka the US of A
This video from the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.
US soldiers taped a ready-to-eat meal to their humvee and dragged it behind them as hungry Iraqi children chased them.
Has any team at the World Cup called out the discriminatory treatment against the Iranian team having to travel to and from Mexico for games?
Where is the sportsmanship?
After Guatemala (1954), Iran (1953), Congo (1961), Chile (1973), and Venezuela (2026), any socialist who thinks the West will allow socialism through liberal democracy is dreaming.
The West loves democracy until people vote against the interests of capital.
Then come the coups, sanctions, and “humanitarian” lies.
And they still ask, “Why don’t socialists come to power democratically?”
When the world cup was in Qatar we were subjected to nonstop hand wringing & moralizing about how evil Qatar is, but Iran is forced to play in a country that is bombing them & doesn't even see them as human and no one here cares because they also don't see Iranians as humans.
The unfair conditions imposed on Iranian team reaffirms FIFA is a colonial structure supporting white supremacist power. Any other country imposing these kinds of restrictions FIFA would have moved the games. See my piece coming out tomorrow in Black Agenda Report.
All African and Asian countries, if they have a spine, should pull out of this farce of a WC. Call for a no-confidence motion against Infantino. Take a stand. But they will not
this is kind of an amazing parable about scientific materialism. it speaks for itself but i'm going to autistically overanalyze it anyway, for fun -
the question pretends to ask about what a person would do in a social situation but it is actually asking for the "right answer," and the "right answer" involves looking at the situation "objectively," which means completely ignoring the relational texture of the little brother being upset in favor of an abstract argument (which the teacher's comments leave implicit) that he "shouldn't" be upset because the situation is "actually" "objectively" fair even if he doesn't feel that way
this is a very specific way of looking at the situation which school trains you to think of as universally correct, not even a choice that you're making, just the way things "really are." the kid's answer ignores all of this to interpret the question literally as written, maintain focus on the relational texture, and see the situation as a relational rupture they can repair through kindness. instead of teaching the little brother to prioritize abstract concepts over their feelings he teaches the little brother not only that kindness is real and that his family has his back but also that, since the older sibling finds it easy to give up their cornbread, perhaps the cornbread doesn't matter that much anyway

Canada, FIFA World Cup host country, rejected visa to President, Gen. Sec and Head of Legal at Palestine FA to attend FIFA Congress on 30 April. We're hearing also Lebanese, Iranian, Syrian FAs were denied visas. Congress is only event where FAs can feed into football governance
@em_Lazzy Israel with American, British, French and German help.
Nothing Isreal does is without the help of others from Axis of Peodophiles.
e.g In Labnon, UK is providing surveillance for Israeli killings
It’s shocking how openly and repeatedly the Western media tells you that they simply don’t consider brown people to be human.
Among the first casualties of this war were 160 Iranian schoolchildren, but it takes a lost US pilot to bring a human dimension to the slaughter?
