  • Bullfighting is opposed by at least half the country’s politicians, and fewer and fewer people are watching it. Many areas have taken measures against it, and without further ado.

    The monarchy has great protection in the media, but on the street, most people criticize them without a problem. There’s a reason the instructions refuse to hold a referendum outright.

    Football is different. Of course, there are people who criticize it, but a large part of the population is happy for their team, or the president of their team, to manipulate the politician in charge to gain something. Support for other institutions has many more flaws.

    Dude, the best Pope will still be a horrible person, I feel sorry for whoever they are, but the Catholicism is based on horrible principles; they put them behind helping the poor and all that, but the hatred of anything that isn’t 100% standard is total. That is something that is not going to change because it is a basic part of the issue, read the Bible, it is there and no member of the church is going to deny that.

    If you’re a normal person, the best you can hope for is that they elect someone who doesn’t fan the flames of hatred any more than necessary and hope that their social support continues to dwindle.Anything else is impossible













  • Zelenskyy is a shell of a human being, and so are Trump and Putin

    You’re not criticizing things about Zelenskyy that are worth criticizing; you’re equating him to Putin, putting the aggressor and the victim on the same level, and you do it with the obvious intention to minimize Putin’s faults. You’re not adding nuance to a leader or contextualizing things; you’re simply implying that the one who has invaded and violated a country’s sovereignty is the same as the one defending against it.

    I’m not going to respond to you again because you’re making a fool of yourself if you think this is going anywhere. But if you wanted to have a serious conversation about what Ukraine could or couldn’t have done differently (Ukraine, not Zelenskyy, who has been in office since 2019, when Russia already had everything ready, not since 2014), you’d have to start by understanding that Russia is the aggressor, that Putin is an imperialist, and that nothing others do will change that.


  • Oh, come on. Fine, I’ll put it in writing if you need it.
    The first step in the oldest playbook in the business says: if the leader you want to defend (or the company, or the country, it doesn’t matter) does something so obviously wrong that it’s indefensible, make the rival look the same. It doesn’t matter how, it doesn’t matter how much, just muddy the playing field.

    Putting Putin and Zelenskyy on the same level is exactly that, and it’s damn transparent to anyone with half a functioning brain.





  • It could be, I’m not a military expert, but I have eyes in my face and I can see that they’re not capable of gaining air superiority against one of the poorest countries in Europe. Maybe they didn’t want to, but I believe they couldn’t. I see that it’s almost been three years since the Moskva sank, and there’s still no replacement in sight. Maybe they don’t want to build one, but I think they can’t.

    Maybe I’m quite deluded about Russia.



  • Of course, that’s why they’ve been able to devastate Ukraine without facing much resistance. They’re certainly not being humiliated, are they?

    But let’s be real, there’s a big difference between being able to build tractors with a cannon attached and actually producing proper tanks. Europe has one capability, and Russia has the other—I don’t need to spell out which is which, the convoy heading toward Kyiv at the start of the war made that pretty clear.
