Welcome all new followers. Usual warning: My profile page is essentially one giant disclaimer & exhibition of red flags. If you follow this account & yet surprised at the content, or the fact that I almost certainly find your politics to be bad and wrong - that's on you.

And yet.

The demographic cliff is here. Syracuse offered students significant discounts to attend but still ended up under-enrolled. The university has already offered buyouts to 175 professors and closed 93 majors. And the pop. of 18-year-olds “will decline for the next 15 years.”

Groypers in my comments are talking an awful lot of shit for someone within range of the space laser operated by my Mossad paymasters.

Giuseppe Garibaldi vs. Camillo Benso di Cavour.

Heraclius might be my favorite tragic figure of the Late Antiquity. That poor bastard pulls off the impossible, saves the Empire, comes back from the brink to curb-stomp the Persians into oblivion - only to watch everything crumble as the jihad pours out of Arabia. Tough gig.

We have Italians discovering free refills, Japanese discovering unlimited chips and salsa, and Germans road tripping the country becoming Ella Fellas. In this USA 250 simulation, it’s quite simple, we’re winning the World Cup.

The decision to base the Scotland team in Boston was an unparalleled act of cultural genius

European fans coming to America for the World Cup has been perhaps, the greatest advancement in intercontinental relations since the end of WWII

Australia beats Turkey 2-0, delivering the most crushing defeat to the forces of Sublime Porte since the Ottomans were trampled by Sobieski's hussars at the gates of Vienna.

Counterpoint: if we win the soccer trophy, we will be insufferable for 24 hours and then forget that we won it.

The Scottish and Haitian fans have discovered the rule breaking of Americans who did not give a damn about FIFA's ban of tailgating

No, because I’m not a whiny little cunt.

Hezbollah official: “We are currently investing in protests and demonstrations in Western countries, especially among college students. We already have Muslim students agitating, but it’s the Western students themselves who will destroy their own countries.” This is the decade-old plan by Hezbollah and the Iranian regime to destroy America and Europe.

They are both bad people.

Americans have really become desensitized to how good they have it. During my summer internship in Germany in 2018, I learned that the hard way. If you forgot to buy groceries on Saturday, you were out of luck, everything shut down on Sundays, so you’d go hungry until Monday. Even during the week, if you left work a little late and missed the 8 p.m. cutoff, every grocery store in town was already closed. On top of that, the food in the small town where I lived (Saarbrücken) was pretty terrible. After that experience, I moved to the U.S. for grad school and I was genuinely mind-blown. The abundance, convenience, and quality of everything felt almost unreal by comparison.

Yeah, soccer fans are about to be amazed by how hard New Yorkers celebrate a basketball team. Because soccer fandom is infamous worldwide for restraint, decorum, and dispassionate engagement with its sport.

I'm far from certain this episode will harm his career prospects given the current moment. The filth is winning.

The digital lynching of that Jewish lady who went to the Knicks game with Taylor Swift will probably have the intended impact of driving some Jews out of the public life. And then they will do it again, and again, and again.

Yes. That's what makes Trump's imbecilic surrender as bitter as it is.

I think they are fairly afraid of being humiliated by the Iranians simply flipping them off at the 12th hour and not showing up.
