If this is an honest question, I’d say: Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant. We are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure.
We are hunting and targeting anyone who might be involved in ceasefire negotiations.
Most people do not pay enough attention to have absorbed all the propaganda about the U.S. and Iran. So people coming to this fresh see us for what we are: absolute monsters. And monsters must be stopped. That’s why people are rooting against us and for civilization to prevail.

How did we get to the point Where so many Americans are rooting against America?

@speculative27 You know and I know that it is in poor taste and unsportsmanlike to get "crowd engagement" when someone is injured.

You have to take this sniper fuck out now. He needs to be taken out for the season #AFLLionsPies

Colman has to go for that tackle on Sidebottom. Pinned both arms and drove him head-first into the ground. If he’s concussed that’s 3 weeks. Shocking tackle. #AFLLionsPies #gopies

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are waiving Jaden Ivey after he spoke out against the NBA for promoting 'Pride Month' and unrighteousness, according to ESPN.
Ivey recently announced that he was alive in Christ.
"They proclaim Pride Month in the NBA. They show it to the world. They say, 'Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.'"
"They proclaim it on the billboards, they proclaim it in the streets, unrighteousness."
He said nothing wrong.

@hasumpstuffedup @HaveeSnowball I doubt there's a lot I'd agree with @HaveeSnowball about, but Katy Perry's music does suck. I was at that Granny, and while she was on I took the opportunity to go to the bar unfettered while everyone watched her 😬🤷.

@HaveeSnowball I think the fuel crisis, uncertainty and ripple effects through the economy are probably having more of an impact on the attendances than Katy Perry

AFL attendance is down 2026 by around 500,000.
So many reasons why - the cost, the crappy rules, the woke politics, the cost of food, the corporate bullshit .... Katy Perry ...
The game is moving further and further away from football to a game that is barely recognisable.
I'm done with AFL.
