In a democracy you just require a (super)majority for everything necessary to be changed and done to achieve anything.
It is of course easier in a dictatorship to achieve ethnic cleansing, but doesn’t require one. Look at Turkey and how they treat the Kurds. Not saying they are the best example of a democracy, but it isn’t a dictatorship by definition.
Almost every athlete started sporting when they were a kid, and it’s the passion and competitiveness they developed back then that is pushing them to reach top sport levels.
Yes, you are telling the kid inside them which started their whole journey to the top to not do what they want to do.
Regardless, it was a metaphorical comparison, I wasn’t calling them mental children.
That’s like telling a kid they can’t do what they love doing because their parents are bad people. You do you I guess. It’s not like those athletes have any other option other than not doing what they love.
Did you consider that they might be representing the nation and not the regime?
Then why weren’t you cheering for USAMNT?
No English person today calls it soccer. It’s football or in a worst case scenario association football.
Where are you from?
Bunch of millionaires rolling around once they get bumped, acting like they broke their leg in half.
Prevents referee from ignoring fouls and thus prevents dirty aggressive play. Does it matter to you that the actors in your favorite movie earn a lot? Or do you bitch about that too? Those sportsmen are essentially entertainers.
[…] and puts up ads on every flat surface in the world.
Well, that’s how the football industry increases the demand of their entertainment. Byproduct is that it makes the sport popular, and sport is healthy, so it’s good that it becomes popular.
The 10 to 10 ratio of up- and downvotes says a lot about the people here…
Fouls shouldn’t be allowed just because they didn’t cause any pain. Will only result in more aggressive play. Rather they roll a few times in order to keep the game clean and pretty.
European, I see
If it were so easy, why don’t you do it?
At the end of the day, it’s entertainment, just like your comedy show, horror book or favorite song. Might not be your taste, but complaining about what they earn is really dishonest. Are you complaining about the actors in your favorite movie because they earn substantially more than you?
Yes. I might be disappointed The Netherlands didn’t at least beat Morocco, before succumbing to France, but that doesn’t mean the World Cup made me sad. It was incredibly entertaining, many unforgettable moments, beautiful goals. I’ll never forget some of these moments.
A competition only makes you sad if you are a sore loser.

Fascism requires support for an authoritarian dictatorship, among other stances. It is not purely “about racial and national purity and hierarchy”. That’s ethno-nationalism. Yes, fascists are ethno-nationalists, but not every ethno-nationalist is a fascist.
Same here friend, same here. Humanity/nature will survive either way. Evolution will filter the bad stuff out of us either way. That’s what it has been doing for hundreds of millions of years.
It is a coping mechanism to not be worried I guess. So I’m not necessarily worried for humanity, it’s just that I’m too altruistic to not care about those people. I can guarantee you that there are a huge amount of people that couldn’t care less about the people being trapped by AI systems.
Nice that you ignored about 90% of my comment.
I never said the jobs you mentioned are easy, that’s why you dont see me complaining about them earning too much.
You seem to think sport at such a high level is easy.
