Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Even when the world cup was in my country I didn't go to any matches. Not that I could afford it, but even if I could I still wouldn't have gone.
This time I won't even watch it on the TV. That's how much I dislike that fat cunt paedo and his regime.
(I also didn't watch it when it was in Qatar.)
I haven’t watched international soccer since they awarded Russia and Qatar with the World Cup. Fucking corrupt pieces of shit supporting the worst people.
Fifa is just getting more corrupt too. They are really leaning into it, even after the last president or whatever had to step down because of it.
Really makes me wonder who they'll find to host the next World Cup.
Afghanistan, perhaps?
Maybe Argentina?
If Milei hasn't rendered it insolvent in time for the next host picking process, that is.
Watch them do it in Israel
Guess where they'll build the stadiums... I heard they currently have a huge area of land paved flat
omg. that is so antisemitic! HOW DARE YOU?!
spoiler
/sExactly
And they might even have lots of cheap labor from people that are starving
Fuck… can I bet on this on Kalshi or whatever, it’s for sure gonna happen now and I might as well get in early
Italy getting repeatedly eliminated from the world cup is one of the best things that happened to this country in the last years
Better late than never.
Not watching soccer on TV isn't the anti-fascist resistance flex you think it is.
Boycotts matter. Advertisers spend a lot of money on air time and they know when they're not getting a return on views.
Yes, boycotts matter. Real boycotts, like the Montgomery bus boycott that lasted for months and truly hurt the recipient financially - what MLK called "economic withdrawal".
Punctual boycotts like buying nothing for one day, or not watching something on TV, are just feel-good stuff that actually achieve nothing at all.
Also, I will point out that it took a lot more than not listening to Hitler's speeches on the radio to defeat him.
So yeah, do not watch the matches if it makes you feel better. But it won't change a damn thing.
Well it isn't the worlds problem. America isn't doing anything for itself why would we do anything.
Well thank god we have heroes like you to remind us that our minor acts of resistance are completely pointless. God forbid we build up to anything 🙄
Minor acts of resistance aren't pointless: pointless acts of resistance are pointless.
You sure did pick the perfect username.
I'm pretty sure I remind you about once a week that you're a mouth breather with a shit take. You see, it's because you're a mouth breather with a shit take. You probably don't see. It's because you really are your username.
You shouldn’t watch anything put on by that org FIFA. Doesn’t really matter how little it does.
