There will be a lot of debate about the Egyptian disallowed goal and the contact on Salah in the box in the lead up to Argentina's winning goal.
But from kickoff, every 50/50 call went Argentina's way. Slight contact by Egypt, whistle. Argentina roughing up and shoving Egyptian players all game long, play on. Romero cleans out Salah with a sliding tackle, no yellow card. Argentinian defender commits an international foul to stop a counter, no yellow card. The only consistent thing about the refereeing was inconsistency.
These seemingly small calls change the course of the game.
Egypt need to know that in the second half they’re also going to be up against FIFA, the refs, CIA, FBI, Infantino, Satan, and everyone inbetween in addition to Argentina
“This is straight out of Israel’s playbook”
My brother in Allah, America wrote the damn playbook. America is both the playbook’s primary and corresponding author. You flip to the endnotes and it’s all references from the history of American violence. This is purely homegrown.
Seeing ppl only discuss how they killed a white US citizen in broad daylight and how “bold they’re getting now” and it just becomes more & more apparent that because a lot of victims of ICE were nonwhite some of yall were just fine with complacency unfortunately
"If we get rid of ICE how will we enforce immigration?" I simply do not give a fuck about doing that. Countries and borders are fake and regulating human movement is violence.
I wish we’d stop saying this - this is the United States, this is American violence.
This is violence that many Americans (and non-Americans within these borders) have experienced before in the name of security, defense of borders, defense of white domination. The Israeli model of violence is an American one, a European one - it is not pathological *as a model*, even if expressions of it and how it is discussed are.
The Israeli violence that shocks us, every single day, is only possible because of the permission, arms and impunity given to Israel by the United States and Europe.
The complete discarding of the facade of domestic propriety - justifying murder in such an explicit and crass manner - may be an adoption of the Israeli attitude but that’s only possible because it has a home here —not because of an invasion.
The genocide in Palestine has been enormously empowering to the US empire. They committed the greatest of crimes and nobody stopped them. They now feel they can get away with anything.
Don't worry guys it's really morally important you clarify you're anti Maduro right now, it'll be really meaningful just like when you were anti Gaddafi and anti Assad and anti Saddam and all those other times you said surely US bombs will make things better.
