the trading players thing, that is

College football is the same as fraternities and sororities I suppose. People naturally desire identity and fraternity. They want a clear "us" and a clear "Them"

Its simple that way

not that one’s identity should be entirely about football in any case, but still...

My brother is like that. Completely obsessed with this one team

It's probably 90% of his identity and he's a husband and father. He watches every single game, has lots of merch, etc.

I'm pretty sure he's an NPC.

@Brunswick people always make it sound like “us vs them” is wrong, but our assumptions and observations of “the other” tend to be correct most of the time

I agree Alex

I’ll take the 70% solution that offends a few people over the 0% solution where no one’s happy

All of these are surrogate identities for lack of identification with blood and its actual heritage. Whether it be a sports team, a subculture, for liberals POC and sexual deviants, or for conservatives Israel

And they're all very shallow identities compared to the real thing, and prone to relapse into dissociation and nihilism

Even political affiliation, and even ethnonationalism un-acted upon, is this surrogate much of the time

I follow/interact with a bunch of women on Instagram who've built their identities around their aesthetic, basically flowers and daintyness

I guess that's better than most as it's essentially traditional femininity, but it does seem to tend towards consumerism at times

It's easy to fall into the trap

I follow a few SAHM vlogs and they are always showing off the products that they have (mops, certain cleaners, etc) and I was jealous that they seemed to have it all together. I bookmarked a few of the products they were endorsing. But at the end of the day, I don't need a $40 fancy mop in order to keep a clean home

Yeah, MP is great. Wouldn't be aired today

Cleese has said some pretty nationalist things in the past

Strange guy looking into it - pro brexit, anti-globalist sentiments yet..anti-Trump.

Probably just doesn't like his personality enough to be anti Trump?

Silly reason to be anti Trump.

Trump offends the Anglo sensibility.

Trump is a physical Anglo-Germanic, but his spirit is Mediterranean.

Transmogrified by a lifetime living among "them" (italians) in the big apple.

few know this.

>Anglo and hatred Trump as a reality star
>voted for Trump with glee

But i get what you are saying

He's so weird though

How can you hate Trump yet express distinctly anti-globalist sentiment like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJheODYpuEI

Maybe because Trump is still being controlled by (((you know who)))

He's a step in the right direction-at least he's a nationalist

But he's sent god knows how much to Israel

@Isabella Locke-MT The italians?

Wait, are you implying that John Cleese dislikes Donald Trump because John Cleese feels that Donald Trump is controlled by jews?

No, I'm saying maybe he recognizes that Trump is still supporting a globalist agenda by funding Israel. Just a guess. I don't know John Cleese or his positions well enough

He just dislikes Trump because Trump is brash and crude.

Offends his Anglo sensibilities.
