  1. You might like this website. Only people I know who are dealing with the problem (or at least a major part of the problem) in detail and piece by piece; https://newdiscourses.com/2020/06/principled-statement-opposition-critical-race-theory-excerpt-cynical-theories/ Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  2. I'm under no illusions the *whole* university is that crazy. I'd imagine that it would vary by department. Good to hear you had a good experience though I would hazard a guess that the space between you and campus helped [emoji14] The murial thing doesn't surprise me an iota Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  3. Can you say much about your time working there? What was it like? Is it as crazy as it seems from the outside with the stupid ideas like 'decolonising science' or any of the other bullshit you see being pandered by people with useless PHD's? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  4. Lampard says the first rule of football is urgency - he could have been glaring at James when he said that lol Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

  6. Kante works as a rmf when we dont dominate possession. Sarriball is about passing the supporters to death Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

  9. Gilmour needs to be deeper as someone else said with kante free to hunt. Ridiculous Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  10. Did you see the recent crap with the Cambridge 'professor' tweeting white lives dont matter? Ofcourse you would want some consistency from the reputable Cambridge university. And consistent they were - they made her position permanent. What else would we expect them to do? Oh, you see, she doesn't mean 'people' when she says white lives dont matter. She means "systems'. Then why the fuck would she use the phrase 'white LIVES'? If she wasnt targeting people but systems? Lol why the fuck is she even being taken seriously. She's hiding behind infinitely flexible language to be a racist cunt. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  11. https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/apocalyptic-science-how-the-west-is-destroying-itself/amp?__twitter_impression=true [https://financialpostcom]If you live in a Western nation like Canada in the 21st century, you have more freedom, prosperity and peace than most of the rest of the world at most other times in history. Yet these countries have never been at greater risk. The threat is not pandemics, climate change or war but something more insidious. Modern Western civilization grew out of the Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries. The ascendancy of reason in human affairs produced the scientific method and later the Industrial Revolution. Add in the rule of law, individual liberty, private property and capitalism, and you have the basic recipe that has raised most of humanity out of poverty over two centuries. New academic doctrines are moving the world, or at least the West, from this triumph to decline. They dismiss science — real science — in favour of political agendas, in which theory trumps facts. Few people are familiar with Critical Theory and its related doctrines, yet these ideas today drive government policies and shape public attitudes. Capitalism is oppressive. Private property rights cause environmental destruction. Prosperity causes climate change. The most serious threat to the West is not China or Russia but its visceral disgust with itself. A growing proportion of people — in universities, the media, politics and corporate structures — now reject the premises upon which their own thriving societies are built. Critical Theory opposes everything that makes the West work. Unlike traditional academic inquiry, which seeks to explain and understand with logic, analysis and the scientific method, these doctrines are less theories than programs. Their purpose is to condemn cultural norms, tear down existing orders and transform society. It all starts with Marx. Between the two world wars, scholars at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt began to investigate why Marxism was failing to catch on in the West. They broadened Marx’s tight focus on economic oppression of the working class and developed the doctrine known as Critical Theory, which is premised on the ideas that power and oppression define relationships throughout society, that knowledge is socially contingent, and that unjust Western institutions should be collapsed and reconstituted. As Marx wrote, “the philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.” Critical Theory should not be confused with critical thinking. To think critically is to reason. Critical Theory’s imperatives are ideological assertions not based on scientific data or deduction. In his seminal 1937 essay, “Traditional and Critical Theory,” Max Horkheimer, sometimes referred to as the father of critical theory, distinguished between the scientific or empirical tradition of enquiry and a critical approach that integrates numerous disciplines and incorporates historical and social influences in the enterprise of enquiry. Unlike the scientific method, which accepts observation as evidence and reproducibility as confirmation of truth, in Critical Theory, knowledge is contingent upon its origins and the social environment from which it comes. While Critical Theory shares Marx’s condemnation of capitalism and the power imbalances that define economic relationships, it rejects Marx’s essential empiricism in favour of melding science, philosophy, sociology and history into a single interdisciplinary enquiry. The most serious threat to the West is not China or Russia but its visceral disgust with itself [data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,
  12. Try and link the video. Sounds difficult to stage. Theres been a bunch of fake hate crimes for people who want to get in on the GoFundMe love in. But 1) it's easy to fake with little chance you'll get caught. Like the guy recently found to have sprayed racist graffiti in the aim to stoke tension. Most who do that kind of stunt wont get caught. 2) for those that fake an event that shows them the victim and next minute they're pleading for money lol its obviously. Staging a fake case of police brutality on a pregnant woman is too crazy to stage imo. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

  14. Yes most of his defensive problems stem from his pace, his ridiculous desire to play left wing when we are in the opposition half (and so is fucked when we get countered) with brain fart tackles. Slow, gung ho attack leaves space behind and brain farts. Outside of that though hes clearly our best left back. When hes focused he does well enough in the big games. Theres plenty of big games where hes far from a defensive liability. Even at United, city and liverpool. Good in the air too. His major problem is consistency. Did I mention he has brain farts?

  15. The precision of his finish was so sexy it outdid the dribble for me. Loving him bust a gut for those near post runs to. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  16. I agree in so far as most of our chances came from stupid mistakes by City but I think we should keep in mind how bad our midfield was in terms of the quality we have in the squad. When billy came on and spread that ball to pedro, that's what we miss when we play mount and Barkley. In future head to heads though, we all expect the team to be different. Ziyech is gonna RIP that defence apart (if they dont spunk on koulibaly). Look at the panic Abraham caused by being direct with some pace. Werner, hello? Pulisic was making things happen. So I think our lack of creating clear cut chances falls on the midfield, but mount is a different player. Hes a dog harrying and that's how he managed to get his scuffed chance by intercepting the keepers pass. The mistake for pulisic's goal was just a complete brain fart but our tactics seemed to be primarily to press then into mistakes. We indirectly caused many of the mistakes imo. Defensively we were pretty good. Kante's stats will be different of course but that's because his role is different. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  17. We are going to have to keep 4-5 players steady for the first few games and then slowly rotate through once everyone is match sharp. Theres no way we'll get consistent results if we swap 9 players every match. But if were are throwing away the cup we may as well use it to build fitness for the test of the squad. From west ham onwards we should be changing 4-5 at a time MAX. It's been 3 months of no football. We've essentially played two matches in a preseason. We should have 1 or 2 matches left before the fatigue really accumulates. Kepa James christensen Rudiger emerson Jorginho Gilmour kovacic Pedro abraham CHO if fit/RLC Keeps centre of the defence the same. Builds some momentum and familiarity. Worst thing is to start wholesale swapping defences. Gives alonso and azpi a rest. For half of our remaining games (at least!) We should boss the possession so the CB's wont be building too much fatigue anyway. Time to start rotating our midfield which is STACKED. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  18. Isnt there a period where we play 3 games in 5 days? Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  19. Dont know about CHO's injury though. Tammy has to start as does pedro, billy and James. I reckon the cbs should be given a run though. No switching constantly between 4 cbs . Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  20. Yeh it was sexy. But that finish though - who else in the current squad would we expect to slot that in the bottom corner from outside the box?! I was so impressed by the finish because it's a textbook chance we miss lol Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  21. Yes. How good was azpi today? Our best defensive full back still. By a mile Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  22. Named and shamed like I'm some bitchyqueen [emoji28] Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  23. What date did I say that lol Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  24. Sterling also had a curling shot that just missed. They controlled the game. That doesnt make them by far the best team but they were hardly by far the worst team lol. After they scored we were under the cosh and the drinks break was a blessing Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
  25. His bad games always stand out for me but before the lockdown break I remember him having an amazing game but cant remember which one - Leicester? - today he was very good. The block was almost reminded me of Terry! Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
