RT reporting that he was listed on the passenger list of crashed plane and that there are no survivors https://www.rt.com/russia/581729-wagner-chief-plane/

I am so unbelievably sick of reading about Saudi Arabia in regards to European football and the wildly eurocentric and xenophobic “enlightened thinkpieces” that there have been a true glut of recently.

Modern KSA is obviously not an ideal setup, but good lord nothing gets Englishmen foaming at the mouth like a brown person having more money than them. It’s not an issue at all if Americans buy up the league and spend a billion pounds in a year on players, but as soon as it’s an Arab or Chinese it is just a bridge too far for them.

Football is my cognitive dissonance zone, the top level game just cannot be enjoyed if you don’t approach it with a healthy level of dissonance. The corruption and exploitation is rampant all across the sport, please just let me ignore it in peace lol. Can’t even go to r/soccer for news now without getting myself wound up.

I’ve seen the National Geographic clothes here in Canada but CNN brand clothing is just something else

Parties during that week would be unreal

I guess that just goes to show how strong the propaganda and mythology of the "free market" and liberal economics really is. I mean, literally less than a decade ago where I live they finished privatizing the telecom services, and internet/phone/TV have probably roughly doubled in price since then, if not more. Ask anyone and they will say that its worse now, yet many of those people would still support privatizing hydro or insurance or whatever. Mind boggling.

I know for a fact that there are many chomping at the bit to privatize the electricity infrastructure in my province, which is hilarious to me because our significant hydro electric generation capabilities are one of the only competitive advantages we have here. If anything we should be expanding our infrastructure, selling electricity to other provinces and states, and encouraging things like data centers and what not to set up shop here. Instead I would not be surprised if we end up like Alberta sometime in the next 10-20 years.

There is nothing more liberal than getting irrationally upset over things based solely upon how you feel about them and nothing that is actually grounded in reality

All of history is just a series of random unconnected events and coincidences, there is no way to know or analyze anything so why bother trying - Liberals

It’s only real democracy when you do exactly what the US says and open your country unimpeded to western resource extraction and capital penetration, anything less is just sparking authoritarianism

Happiness slider is inefficient he should be trading for luxuries and spending his gold to buy techs smh

You can just walk down any fucking street in China and see happy looking young couples with kids. 2 hours there would prove to anyone with eyes and moderately functioning brain how prosperous the society has become.

just the logical thing to do 🤷
