Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
You want to know what imperial conditioning looks like from the inside?
It looks like a person who knows that the United States has the largest prison population in the history of human civilization, and still describes other countries as "unfree."
It looks like a person who knows their healthcare system allows people to die from rationed insulin, and still describes other countries' economics as "failed."
It looks like a person who watched their government spend $2.3 trillion over twenty years building a state in Afghanistan that collapsed in just 10 days, and still trusts that same government's assessment of which other countries are "stable" or "democratic" or "ready for self-governance."
It is not stupidity.
It is something more structurally interesting than stupidity.
It is what happens when the story a person needs to believe about themselves is in direct conflict with the evidence their own eyes can see, and the story wins.
Not because the evidence is unclear.
But because the cost of following the evidence to its conclusion is too high.
Better a comfortable contradiction than an uncomfortable clarity.
The empire is built on that choice, made daily, by millions of people.
Russia has never attacked the EU.
Not once.
Since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, we had peace.
Russia sold us cheap gas, traded honestly, and stayed a calm neighbor. No threats. No invasions.
Then Washington’s neocons and London smelled blood. They tried to loot Russia in the chaotic 90s with shock therapy and oligarchs.
When that failed, they turned Ukraine a non-NATO, non-EU country into their proxy battlefield to bleed Russia dry.
Ordinary Ukrainians? Just collateral. Their lives destroyed for American hegemony, more NATO bases, more expensive US LNG for us, and keeping Europe weak and dependent.
Europe was a quiet neighborhood. Russia was the big reliable house next door offering fuel and food.
Than the overseas bully says: “Use the neighbor kid’s yard as a battlefield to smash the strong house. Don’t care about the kid we’ll wave flags.”
Our spineless EU leaders opened the gates, cheered, and cut our own electricity to “punish” Russia.
Now the kid’s yard is ruined, the strong house got tougher, and our neighborhood is paying insane bills.
This isn’t defense. It’s suicide for empire dollars.
Russia didn’t march west!
NATO marched east.
We’re sacrificing Ukrainian lives to keep America on top.
Europe First.
Real energy. Real borders. Real sovereignty.
Stop letting foreign neocons play with our continent.
Russia isn’t the enemy but blind obedience to Washington is.
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
The Solidarity Movement's private Afrikaans university Akademia has acquired 105 hectares of land in Paarl, Western Cape, to develop another new campus.
