If you can't drive a manual you're not a leftist

Anyone who thinks they could have gone pro at sports but didn't for whatever reason is usually someone who never even played at a decent level. When you push yourself to play at a good level it literally shatters all your delusions and humbles you

New video! Here is my argument on why Leftists should consider atheism especially as part of a counter to rising Christian fascism in The West. Religion (more often than not) makes people act against their class interests and props up the status quo

Atheism needs to make a COMEBACK (and New Atheism needs to Die)

I'm making an argument for leftist atheism in the west in response to religious forces being overwhelming conservative and doing genocides and propping up neoliberalism. Again this is nothing like organised religion - people can either accept my argument or not

What are atheists telling you what to think? We are arguing you should reject obvious falsehoods - you are free to believe what you like whether or not you are religious.

How is that like the church?

Neoliberalism is the worst cult. (Also replies like the one the person left me are usually from people who hate atheists making them uncomfortable by putting forward arguments that cause them to think about their world view.)

Atheism is freedom ? It's also not telling you what to believe. It's telling you religion is a lie. But there isn't an enforcement. And yes not allowing people to brainwash themselves into a cult would likely help the world! Religion isn't the only cult but it's one of them

Why is that necessary?

Why can’t people just have their own beliefs?

If you’re atheist, that’s great, but raising it as the anecdote to Christian Nationalism isn’t the way.

We need more freedoms. We don’t need anyone else telling us what to believe.

about yourself compared to the pros. I also think if you've never played sports properly you can't appreciate how it really is one of the hardest things to be a pro at.

I'm still good, and I can play in good teams. But I'm never gunna be the best player in these environments. I have to work hard to maintain a decent level with them - and you see the best players on the team (in an amateur team) and see that as an unrealistic standard - you don't even think

but honestly a lot of people who didn't make it can be great players, but that doesn't matter at all when you don't have consistency and discipline. I've been taking football abit more seriously for the last two years and it just reminds me how I could have never been a pro footballer

you appreciate the elite mentality of people who make it in sports. Because of my OCD and other mental reasons I just don't have that elite mindset that comes very natural to the best. Your brain is the thing that lets you down the most in sports. There is of course the physical and technical side

I'm good at football. If I show up to a casual 5 a side i'm usually one of the better players. When I was like 22 I decided to pursue football abit more seriously and thankfully it completely shattered any 'what ifs' I ever had about how not serious I took it as a teenager. I think most of all

I definitely agree with that! I also don't take myself seriously at all so it's hard to do that talking about these god awful lyrics (i also like annoying Hollie/everyone so can't help myself sometimes 😅)

can't believe i'm someone who drinks black coffee now. Tbf it's Vietnamese coffee - and somehow tastes better than 'Brown Coffee' which I think is a little bit of condensed milk. Bac Xiu is still the best but i want less sugar (everything in Asia has so much sugar in it 😅)

The 'extreme left' don't support Nazis like Nick - you do support Israel though !

David Pakman @davidpakman.bsky.social · 1d

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

Palestine and Lebanon food stall at a culture festival in Hanoi. No Israel food stall despite having a 'culture' booth which was 9 Vietnamese people selling perfume? (lol)

I forgot when you record a YouTube video with your girlfriend you're going to get a few annoying comments from strangers over analysing your near 13 year relationship based on a video talking about Taylor Swift's new album lol 💀
