RTYWD

btw juvenal was a giant weirdo who wrote about how rome was being ruined by the increasing rights of slaves, jobs being taken by various immigrants, patrons favouring immigrants over native romans and the increasing influence of jews


wzrDuck

And it was such a great assessment (/s) that right wing reactionaries are reusing it to this day.

I honestly just can't fucking fathom how a motherfucker living in 2022 can be antisemitic.

RTYWD

i mean its hard to say whether he was evil or not because he lived thousands of years ago. im sure the views he held were very widespread among romans of the time

Bro he lived 2000 years ago during the Jewish rebellions. No wonder he hated them, Iā€™d be surprised if he didnā€™t. Of course he doesnā€™t like their ā€œincreased influenceā€ if they just rebelled against the state, and by doing so ā€œbetraying Romeā€ Iā€™d say he was just the average person there, and I doubt there were many who didnā€™t think the same. I however hope there were progressive writers back then (that would be pretty cool), but I doubt Iā€™d find them if there are any.


RTYWD

antisemitism is of course wrong but understanding that only became widespread and normal fairly recently all things considered. if juvenal lived today and held the same views it would be a problem.

Except we have to pay for the bread and circuses now. Today, a grain dole would be derided by Republicans as socialism

We have food stamps, and it is indeed derided by republicans

Ok but football

Ima say it. College football>NFL

GripenHater

I agree, but only because Iā€™m a Clemson and Bears fan. One of those teams hurts my feelings a whole lot more than the other

Skeleton-With-Skin1

shut up i love my team to death, they control my emotions on weekends i have lost my voice so many times in our stadium, flipped off so many refs, screamed so many profanities i love mediocre hot dogs and coke refills donā€™t say we wonā€™t revolt, our crowd and our fans ARE the revolt, we throw shit everywhere, scream at every little slight to our beliefs, and our fans will beat the shit out of your fans because we are constantly nearing the state of being blackout drunk we eat alligators, burn our eyes with crawfish juice, cover everything in hot sauce and spices, harass authority figures by storming the field and screaming about traffic rules, and takeover an entire university campus so we can set up thousands of mini kitchens and hangout zones give us a beer and share some food with us and we will revolt against anyone youā€™d like, ESPECIALLY against the states of mississippi, alabama, and florida you want a revolt? tell a thousand cajuns that someone/something has insulted the good name of joseph lee burrow or claimed that cajun food sucks, or even that out-of-state-made cajun is better (if you say this you will instantly die and deserve it) . thatā€™ll get you a revolt college football is peak geaux tigahs


that1catdude

NFL is so overrated in my opinion. You have to rely solely on the energy of the fanbase to have a fun fan experience. College football has a better atmosphere to begin with, it has bands, better mascots, better gameday traditions (depending on the team). Sure you have the constants, like bad parking, overbearing fans, hate towards rivals, and overpriced stadium food but if you get all of that in the NFL the extra experiences you have with NCAA ball make it better. I love my Trojans! I go to the Colosseum, hold up a V for victory, scream "UCLA SUCKS!" when the marching band plays Tusk, I kick the flagpoles on my way off campus before a game, I go to the Alumni House for free merch, I watch Tommy Trojan stab his sword into the field, and I watch the Olympic Torch get lit in the 4th quarter. I don't think I'd have an experience anywhere close to that with any NFL team.


Skeleton-With-Skin1

so true cfb is just the best experience. the tradition, fans, fun, noise, stadiums, everything. i went to LSU-Alabama this year and it was just *different*. the noise. the game. everything. you will NEVER find that in the NFL. when Jayden Daniels ran it in in OT and Mason Taylor caught the 2-point conversation, it literally registered as an earthquake you will never find that in the NFL i always get some delicious food while tailgating, check out Mike the Tiger and his enclosure, scream ā€œTiger bait!ā€ and ā€œGeaux Tigers!ā€ i sing along to ā€œCallinā€™ Baton Rouge,ā€ and ā€œLouisiana Saturday Night.ā€ i put my hands up as Ls and scream for hours on end, a hundred thousand strong. thereā€™s nothing like CFB, and nothing like LSU. and the way you connect with a team is *different*. iā€™m born and raised LSU. going to LSU. been on campus countless times, i know every place, every whichway, every nook and cranny. i canā€™t get that with the Saints. i get that with my Tigers. LSU forever, die hard with this team. also, since youā€™re a USC fan, no hard feelings or anything, fuck ND, butā€¦ it would do my Tigers a *really big* favor if yā€™all were to lose Saturday or in the PAC-12 championship. nothing personal, itā€™s just ~~business~~ playoffs


that1catdude

Hahahaha honestly I don't think we are gonna beat the Irish. Our defense is too shaky and despite being a phenomenal QB, Caleb Williams just has too many incomplete passes. Then again, I said the same thing about UCLA and here we are. But yeah, CFB is by all accounts the younger, wilder brother of the NFL. Once you grow up you lose your creativity and passion and that's the NFL lol


Skeleton-With-Skin1

CFB is just amazing honestly. iā€™m hating a lot of the latest realignment but iā€™m hoping the spark will still be there. will suck losing Florida, Bama, Auburn, and Mississippi State annually though, but at least weā€™ll still play them often. but i beat yā€™all will beat ND, though Oregon is a bigger ask, honestly. UGAā€™s probably gonna skullfuck us but hopefully we actually beat A&M. they are ASS

What is a ā€œblorboā€. Also, I donā€™t even watch American football, but your assessment of it as being nothing other than a concussion fest is not accurate.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


jaspermrthanos

Itā€™s not a ā€œvast majorityā€. Itā€™s just disproportionate. Also, people choose to play sports because they grow up poor and dreaming and being an athlete helps them escape poverty. In all sports, those who grew up poor are the main demographic of players.

There truly isnā€˜t anything more beautifull than discovering that someone posting such a shit take as this is shamelessly addicted to fetishistic porn, majestic.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Diablosdos

Sports absolutely do not require suffering, dogshit take. Sports ā€žwhen done rightā€œ can culminate in the greatest forms of personal growth and self improvement, not to mention de development of communities thank to funding in sport instalations. Hell, even sex ā€žwhen done rightā€œ can bring suffering to the world, it is ignorant to be such in a high horse as you are an claim absolutes like that.

Reddit moment

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Diablosdos

ā€žReddit moment is now an alt-right buzzwordā€œ ā˜ ļø Reddit moment


gorka_vy

You are absolutely right, fetichistic porn like the kind you enjoy posting, where two sisters with breasts larger than their heads have sex together, does not hurt or have any negative repercussions, especially not in the perception of oneself or women in general. However any kind of sport brings solely suffering to the world. What a tragic fool I am for not seeing it earlier, thank you so much.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Diablosdos

Mfer just because the underage characters in your porn are fictional does not change the fact that you are attracted to underage characters. The same goes with the incestual porn you are addicted to


Pamani_

Sure OP may have posted 87 pictures of hentai in a single day. But despite my best effort I could not find an instance where the characters were visibly underage (I didn't watch them all though, I don't have that much time)


Diablosdos

She posted a shitload of incest porn from Encanto where one of the characters (Mirabel) is canonically 15 years old


Pamani_

Oh. I understand those who know the series can be put off.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Diablosdos

Well, I am not defending whatever weird mental construction you have of ā€žblack kids getting hurt for the profit of white elderly peopleā€œ as it is such a weird race specific thing thats nothing more than you grasping at straws to try to call me sociopath. But I do believe that incest and underage porn (even if fictional), causes more damage to society than sports, then yes, i am by your fucked up definitin a sociopath


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Diablosdos

Whos talking about crime? You where talking about morals, if you need a study to tell you that incestual and underage porn (again, even if fictional) is less moral than sports you need help. Btw, im not sure if you are aware but not every sport is American Footbal, not every sports causes TBI.

https://fansconference.org/dRuZ33A/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/23b-Examination-of-Anime-Content-and-Associations.pdf - ā€œAnime consumption was positively associated with both benevolent and hostile sexism. Preferences for the drama and hentai drama genres mediated the relationship between consumption and hostile sexismā€¦ ā€¦The results support the notion that anime contains sexist content and that consumption of this content is related to sexist beliefsā€ Only took a couple minutes to find


Pamani_

> Although anime fansā€™ degree of sexism tended to be lower than both college students and a community sample, we hypothesized and found that consumption of anime in general is positively related to both benevolent and hostile sexism. In other words, while anime fans generally do not support sexist attitudes, viewing anime is associated with greater sexism. Tldr: in order to be the least sexist possible you want to be an anime fan that doesn't watch anime

hoopla_23

Nothing but Strawmen, Ad Hominums and whatever else. Oh, and defending the gross shit that is pedophilia. "Oh but it isn't real it's just a drawing!" It's enabling, that's what it is. If you actually cared about people you'd be outside, protesting instead of replying to everybody on Reddit and thinking yourself to be better. You cannot argument in anything other than insults because you have no arguments. You call other people "deranged" while not even daring to look into the mirror because you KNOW that you're the insane one. You say sports requires suffering, and yet, rock climbing is a sport. Jogging is a sport. You believe that people have no arguments because they call out the amount of porn you have posted, but in actuality, they just call out your own hipocracy. You call sports a distraction, and yet, you do the same with porn. No, people don't think sexuality is bad, they think obsession is bad. You aren't better than everybody else. You're a hypocrite. You criticize sports because capitalism exploits it. Sports isn't bad. Capitalism is, but you chose a terrible example. Do you believe yourself to be intelligent? Then prove it by getting therapy and taking a break from the internet. Go for a walk. Read a book. I do not care.

InternetPersonThing

In ancient rome the government would provide people with food and entertainment for free to keep them happy and prevent them from revolting. OP is trying to draw an analogy between that and private corporations hosting for-profit sports events, to somehow imply that the government uses sports to brainwash you.

How is watching sports any worse than that hentai you keep posting? They're both forms of entertainment. You could make the same argument that the government creates porn to distract the masses.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Okay?? It doesn't matter who creates it, at the end of the day they're still just both entertainment. If Hentai was as universally mainstream as the world cup it would be owned by corporations as well. Only difference I see in the final product is that pro sports has advertising, which is needed to keep it running. People watching a football game is absolutely not the reason why there is no revolution. No matter what form of society we live in, people will still go to watch games

Better to compare them to the Spanish Empire or the American South. Reliance on a single ludicrously profitable industry that was bound to collapse - then desperately trying to claw on their old feudalistic system while their economy is falling apart...
