    The US education system has been hollowed out for decades now with the single goal of being able to put fascists into power. Only with a dumb population can you pull off such horrendous shit and still get away with a dumb excuse

    The good thing about this is that there is so much incompetence going around that these fuckers will eventually break their new system by themselves.

    To make a trump like expression that is actually true; The US economy is already a bubble the size like nobody has seen before. I for one can’t wait for that economy to pop, maybe then Americans can be bothered to do something about trump

    It’s hard for racists to differentiate people with brown skin. They just all come from Brownskinistan.

    I laughed when I saw “Soccer Mexico”.

    It’s called football. Let’s do the math.

    Foot + ball = football

    Rugby + kicking = footrugby.

    Don’t @ me.

      Soccer is a British shortening of ‘association football.’ Aka association rules football.

      In the 1860-90s, one of several competing games / variants of the same gsme all called football including rugby, then called rugby football (rugby being the name of the town/ school that game was popularized in)

      American and canadian football are variants off of this version of ‘rugby football,’ Eventually dropping the name rugby (as they no longer had much association to that locale) british rugby, and its other variants, eventually dropped the football from their name.

      Technically though, for the game we generally think of as football, association rules football, (which again, soccer is just a shortening of) is the proper name. For instance, If you look up fifa, their name is Fédération Internationale de Football Association literally the international association football federation.

      And there are still other similar games that use football in the term, including american/ gridiron, Australian rules/ footy, and Gaelic football

      Just calling it football is technically using a term for all of those sports. Association football, or ‘soccer’ is the actual sport and rules we all mean.

        And given the age of absurdity and stupidity we live in, they should also include a “certified not fake and not satire”.

          It really is frustrating how hard it can be sometimes to tell the difference. Nothing sounds too ridiculous anymore.

    This is still far too generous - it assumes that they:

    • Know where the Falklands are (and they they are British)
    • Know where Brazil is
    • Know where actual Mexico is
    • Can spell “archipelago”
    • Wouldn’t call Chile “helicopter Mexico”
