Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)

You are such a child. I have spent over a decade of my life in post-Communist countries and know exactly what those symbols mean. I have zero respect for cosplaying edgelords like Hasan or you. -

Not here to get in an argument of “what is worse” and at the current political moment, right-wing extremism is the pressing threat. But sane societies should completely reject edgelords who edgily try to recast authoritarian monsters and traffic in their aesthetic. Communism is one of the most nightmarish ideologies ever to happen to millions of real people no matter what variant you choose and these type of photos should be looked at similar to smirking in front of Mussolini or Pinochet exhibits. -
Tend to agree but I don’t know what the NIL situation is at VaTech. The formula for Beamer was to do well within Virginia and the DC area. The five stars even then might have gone to the SEC or Big Ten but VaTech getting a good chunk of the top 10-30 players and maybe a couple from NC or Tennessee would be good for a top 20-30 class which is competitive in the ACC. Now you have Penn State, Clemson, USCe, and even Maryland and other Big 10 schools killing VaTech in state and they recruit more around 40 or 45. I am sure the NIL at USCe is better than VaTech but maybe a Beamer RETVRN would light a fire with donors?

Uh, yeah. He’s the most famous a-hole in college football right now.

I think both teams will end up ranked between 10-20 at the end of the year. Quite a bit of talent all around but some flaws that prevent either from being a real contender. Freeman is a good coach and the schedule gets significantly easier from here.

Vance has no moral compass. His animating force is grievance and resentment, borne from anger and shame about his early station in life. He’s spent his entire life trying to join the “elites,” all the while inventing mostly imaginary slights at their hands at every step of the way as motivation. This is despite a pretty clear record of being welcomed by the elites with open arms. And he is the best example of the primal motivation of the American reactionary right: the demand that the libs and minorities they shit on like them. Maybe an odd comparison but he reminds me of the MJ we saw in the Netflix series. Here’s a guy who received nothing but universal accolades once he made the varsity basketball team and yet he invented fictitious insults to motivate him. He was incandescent with rage at the idea of the opposing team trying to win a basketball game and considered it a personal affront. And it really did motivate him to be the best ever but it also gets you things like his truly unhinged HOF acceptance speech; unable to appreciate what he’d accomplished. JD Vance is like that except establishing eternal authoritarianism instead of a basketball dynasty. -

Maximillian Kolbe was a Polish priest who was sent to Auschwitz for hiding Jews in his monastery. Although he had German ancestry he refused to sign the document claiming it and thereby receiving rights of a German citizen when arrested. Once he got there, he volunteered to be killed in place of of a man who had a family, as part of a collective punishment for a prisoner escape. He led ten other prisoners in prayer in an underground starvation bunker until guards lost patience and gave them lethal injections. So yeah, lots of parallels to debating college kids American campuses and being a MAGA operative. Side note, Kolbe deserves much better than the “Christian movie” treatment.- 4157 replies

Not terrible it’s just that the red pony and blue stripes are so good that anything else is a downgrade.

My point: Saying the Nazis supported a Jewish state in Palestine or anywhere else is wrong and ahistorical. -

I honestly thought you’d made an honest mistake repeating something you saw somewhere, but the quick deflection to something happening 90 years later and irrelevant to the historical inaccuracy under discussion makes me reconsider. -
They were supposed to play last weekend at Sams in Brownsville, but the turf upgrade wasn’t done. Allegedly still committed to a game in Brownsville due to stupid local politics (merger of UTPA and UT-B). The Edinburg venue is where all the games should be.

Sorry, this is a super-whack reading of history. The Nazis implemented the Haavara agreement in 1933 as a method first to shore up foreign currency reserves (they allowed Jews to use their confiscated property to buy German made “exports” to Mandate Palestine via a special bank) and second to remove some 60k Jews from Germany. A purely pragmatic move and nothing at all about a Jewish state: a temporary solution to help ease a financial crisis. Hitler raved about the dangers of a Jewish state in his writings and even had an Einsatzgruppen created for Mandate Palestine as Afrikakorps appeared to be advancing. There’s debate over whether it was an extermination plan or whether they intended to place Mandate Palestine Jews in forced labor camps. What’s clear is that the idea of a sovereign Jewish state in the near east ran strictly against Nazi policy. Before the Final Solution was implemented there was some desultory speculation about mass expulsions to Madagascar to be administered as a massive open-air SS camp (never actually an option due to the Royal Navy) or massive forced labor camps in the vastness of the conquered Soviet East. There was never a discussion of creating or supporting a Jewish state at any time, and it’s only a very few fringe and extremely biased political figures who try to cast the Nazis and Zionists as somehow pursing similar goals (with an obvious political purpose for doing so). -

Out of state high school football results

I’m trying to find a profession more scummy than “high school sports gambler and bagman.” Used panty vendor? -
They will feast against another NAIA school then will have a competent FCS opponent in SE Louisiana coming off of a beatdown by LSU. Good to get some confidence up by scheduling winnable games.
