TIL about the execution of Tupac Amaru II. Who after having led a rebellion against Spanish rule was executed after being forced to watch his son and wife executed before him. The Spanish attempted to pull him apart by horses. This failed and he was then beheaded.

Hate Watch List. Obviously England vs Mexico is top tier. Who else do we want to see go down?

England vs Mexico. I gotta say I hate Mexico as a rival but English fans are so insufferable and condescending I think I’m going to root for Mexico. Shame because their players are likable. Kane is an Ameri-phile and the other guys just play ball.

Canada vs Morocco. Similar to Mexico, rival but no real hatred towards Morocco. Would like to see Jesse Marsch humbled

Otherwise any European team getting put out is nice. Except Norway. Haaland should be granted honorary citizenship for his behavior in the states

Apparently Mauricio Pochettino one of the best minds in soccer, doesn’t understand soccer and is just running “NFL plays”.

Get this lady to the English national team stat. They need this brilliant mind since they haven’t won a cup since before the moon landing.

Hasan and those politically aligned with him use the argument that “Israel is an ethno-Jewish supremacist state that shouldn’t exist”, therefore most middle eastern states shouldn’t exist.

A common argument I see for the existence of Israel amongst people with Hasan’s politics and supporters of terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah is that they are justified because Israel is a Jewish supremacist apartheid state. However, isn’t that most of the Middle East and hell a lot of countries in Asia? I live in Japan and I would be a fool if I thought I carried the same rights as Japanese even if technically I am protected from discrimination by law.

In the Middle East this is even more flagrant with many countries making it near illegal to be anything by Muslim or to openly celebrate your religion. Most of the gulf states are virtually slave states where the 10% live off the labor of the bottom 90 which are largely minorities or migrant workers.

In fact the population of Christian’s and other religious minorities have plummeted throughout the region going from a plurality of the population to less than 5% of the population or non-existent.

Hasan’s own native country of Turkey was built through colonization and forced eviction of Greek and Armenian minorities who lived on the land for several millennia.

Yet, I never see this brought up in opposing his argument that Israel shouldn’t exist. If someway the tankies destroy Israel with the help of the Muslim supremacists will they turn their attention to other similar regimes in the world. I have never see an adequate counter argument from their side regarding this. Does anyone have any counter argument they would come up with?
