Normalising violence

264

When you normalise violence, for example, by telling a broadcaster you cannot guarantee the safety of one of their commentators, or when you refuse to act swiftly when a coach headbutts an opponent on live TV after a game, you invite society’s worst demons into your domain.

Like most of the world, the majority of football clubs do their best to rid themselves of the casually violent.  The game’s reputation was taken into the sewer 50 years ago, before slowly and expensively brought back into the mainstream.

Flirting with violence only encourages the mindless to take it one step further.  The cost takes time to manifest, but decent fans want no part of it, their attachments weaken, leaving the tub thumpers ownership of the narrative.  It is also a glaring sign of decline and weakness.

Well done to Steve Clarke, Callum McGregor and the rest of the Scotland team on collecting six points from their opening two European Championship games.  A win in Norway in June would set the national team up for a classic Scotland capitulation against Georgia and Cyprus.

    Petec,

     

    He is unequivocal, the virus is patented in the US, he has statements by Fauci and his cohorts, from conventions declaring their intention to spread it and use the media to create an atmosphere that would allow them to force administration of vaccines to convince investors that there is good money to be made. This was a planned genocide to make profit.

    Seen it, one of the points made by David Martin is that even Rand Paul asks no questions about this.

    Dr David Martin has been doing this research for years and like most who tell the truth is cancelled.

     

    The real sad thing is that folks won’t give a eff, something that is coming down the pipe and will have a material effect on their family’s lives they are acting like ostriches, that is so sad, but it is what it is.

    TET,

     

    It was him that confirmed for me, it was a real virus very early on, in his interview with the official German investigation team. Can’t deny a patent.

     

     

    As for the deniers, they live in fear and really don’t care, for all their faux concerns spouted on here, about conforming with useless protection and demanding everyone else does it too so they don’t look like suckers.

    I think I sent you that video, cos it really showed what was what, the planing has been ongoing for years as you know.

     

    But we are mad, I am fine with that.
