  1. Basically all Americans are about to know what it's felt like to be non white in America. The systems are there to oppress you, not to help you, and you have virtually zero recourse for being oppressed.
  2. He's correct. It's the final stages of the Anacyclosis. Once democracy leads to prosperity the subsequent generations only grew up with prosperity and become entitled and complacent. They don't have an appreciation for the freedoms and rights afforded to them that their ancestors suffered under tyranny to achieve. They then become aggrieved by the corruption and greed of leaders and fall victim to demagogues who promise the moon and deliver only poison (sound familiar?). That civilization then devolves into anarchy and the whole process starts again with authoritarianism once a strong man wins in the power vacuum. It's guaranteed to happen. The founders of the US Constitution based this government system on the writings of Polybius, an ancient Greek who was captured by the Romans during the height of the Roman Republic. He observed that Rome's hybrid system of Monarchy, Democracy, and Aristocracy seemed to have made it immune to the Anacyclosis. Our 3 branches of government with the checks and balances was directly lifted from Polybius' work and Rome's system. Of course as history shows Rome's system merely delayed the decline in Anacyclosis. It wasn't immune, and entitlement and complacency eventually led to demagogues like Julius Ceasar which led to destruction and a form of authoritarianism under the Emperors, beginning with Augustus. For the United States it was unchecked technology, and especially social media combined with smart phone technology, that became the vessel used by the corrupt leaders and enemies to usher in the demagogue phase of Anacyclosis. Trump is merely the first of the demagogues and we're heading towards anarchy. And there's absolutely nothing any of us can do about it at this point. Once demagoguery takes hold it's all over. My advice is to unplug and enjoy the good times you have left. Because things will only get progressively worse and more dysfunctional as the fall into anarchy commences. With any luck it'll take 30 years for that to happen. But I seriously doubt it.
  3. I don't remember that. I remember bad passes that Helm or a receiver couldn't get. Don't recall a straight drop that killed a drive.
  4. Outside of our game and 1 SEC game tonight this is the worst slate of matchups I've ever seen.
  5. Problem is it wasn't anything Arkansas did. Offensive line handled them. RBs (other than Blue fumble out of bounds) made plays WRs got open and no drops The only reason that wasn't a blow out in the first half again was Sark struggling to call against the 3 high again for some reason and Quinn being inaccurate.
  6. Greek gods were incredibly insecure and always fucking things up. We definitely don't want him feeling like Silenus.
  7. The criminal just system would rather you don't get that information
  8. They did it for 1 and a half drives all game. We shut them down.
  9. They haven't competed in the SEC in 30 years. The only change that could help them is if the top 10 teams in the SEC all left.
  10. Aggy can't throw and we shut down running QBs. Their defense will be a lot better than Arkansas. It's going to be on Quinn to step the fuck up, stop driving the bus, and be a playmaker.
  11. The perfect call. At least we survived, but damn Quinn can't be bad for 3 quarters anymore.
  12. Tessitore sounds so pissed off and subdued on both Golden TDs and that forced fumble, but let out a full pig sooey on Arkansas' one TD.
  13. Is Jesse Palmer showing early CTE? Dude is lost so many times making a ton of mistakes
  14. You don't worry about the clock until under 4 min
  15. He played early. He must have gotten hurt in the 1st quarter.
  16. There's 9 minutes left
  17. If you can't handle these moments against a shit 5-4 team you don't deserve the playoffs. Fucking handle business
  18. Depends on what happens but probably not. We'd have the worst strength of schedule of any of the 2 loss teams in the top 12. If we even remain in the top 12. This is an embarrassing game. Fucking idiot Nahlin said Sark was happy all week about this offense and we'd win comfortably
  19. Of course the offense would fuck around for 3 quarters and now we're in a "just hold on and get the win" type game against a 5-4 team that should have been 27 or 30-0.
  20. They've sustained most of their drives. They just aren't getting it in the end zone. Looks a lot like last season.
  21. I liked Tessitore on Friday night fights with Teddy Atlas, but he's a supremely biased bitch on CFB calls. Unprofessional
  22. It wasn't even Sark's call. It was a blitz and both Helm and Quinn correctly adjusted hot. Quinn fucked up the throw.
  23. Make the switch to Arch. This is the best defense in the country. We're throwing that away with an offense that can't consistently attack a defense correctly. Arkansas is sitting in 3 high and we aren't punishing them with the run. With Arch's run game in addition to our backs we can attack it a lot better.
  24. Everyone sees it. But no one can do anything about it now. The DOJ under Biden refused to press to do anything about it. The American people in this election stated they want this. American democracy is over. It's quasi-authoritarian Oligarchy now. Democrats needs to fight dirty and attack with dirty tactics too. The game has changed. There needs to be a wide spread social media propaganda machine just hammering these idiots for everything they're going to fuck up. Turn the people against them.
