like the guy who ruled libya

he did a lot for the libyan people but his crazy cluster b ideas of uniting africa under his brand of socialism plus angering westernoids brought him down and that would make a wonderful fictional story

>>662705
Are you talking about Gaddafi?

>>662711
yes i just didnt want to embarrass myself by typing "gadaffi" instead like a mealy mouthed brit

>>662714
He kind of created a situation that vaguely resembles what Venezuela had, ambitious reforms underpinned by extensive oil revenues that could not be sustained combined with generally scaring off skilled workers necessary to keep this industry running with rampant authoritarianism. By the end he was just dismantling everything because it couldn't last.

>>662740
yes it didnt help that much like venezuela, he surrounded himself with corrupt and inept people whom he simply had there bc he was paranoid and didnt trust others. running states like some sort of quasi-mafia isnt the way to go. its a shame western governments put such pressure on these emerging socialist-esque states, driving the ruling class into acting like criminal neurotics

>>662743
AAAH

>>662734
Not me, I am infallible

>>662755
hmm?

does anyone else here try to talk to people about how schools are basically prisons but they dont really get what you're saying and they say shit like "yeaa urrrrhhh getting homework is fascist !!! ur literally forced to do it... exactly like a prison bro yea..."

>>662764
>>662765
oke :D

>>662763
Schools are like prisons (and here's why that's a good thing...)

my problem with schools in the way they resemble prisons is that the underlying antisocial culture of schools bring a lot of students down to the level of the worst behaved people there

I lucked out with my school, going first to parochial then to a magnet

its like cluster Bs infecting slightly less cluster B people

i went to a bunch of ghetto ass fucking schools i got kicked out of and then cycled thru places for boys with behavioural problems and special schools

>>662779
I think you definitely have the capacity for learning, this is a strange compliment but I am trying to say you are smart basically

>>662782
its ok im mostly over it. i just like thinking about it bc i like thinking about things that dont work and could be fixed

>>662777
My only regret about school is that I didn't sign up for the wrestling team

>>662787
i seriously seriously wish i went to an american school and dual-specced in wrestling and theatre kid shit. imagine what a fucking powerhouse i could have been

>>662789
I did sailing in high school, but wish I had done more athletics. The issue was I was in a cast for like freshman year so it sucked. Wish I had done wrestling because shit is so fun.

>>662793
wrestling just seems to make you a better person in general. the wrestlers ive met have been all chill and had a calming and powerful presence bc they're not on edge all the time. training your body and neural pathways for like possibly the safest combat sport there is just sounds so fucking good to me. someone here whos like 80kg+ come wrestle with me please

>>662798
coolio! Will join

>>662799
The wrestlers I know have an incredibly focused mindset, like all super hard workers, got their heads on straight all that. The chill people I know are like BJJ that all smoke weed and shit. Then I know a ton of Muay Thai people that are as neurotically competitive as it gets lol.

>>662799
Also I'd wrestle with you, but I don't know what 80kg is in freedom units

>>662813
175lbs+ im like 160lbs i just want to grapple with people heavier than me bc i was born with the Killer Instinct perk

>>662822
I'm like... very big so sure. My background is in Jiu Jitsu and Judo though, I have only ever done wrestling as one off practices for that

im like a 5'10 pitbull

>>662826
finally ive made a friend who isnt gay and wants 2 fight

>>662828
You can do boxing, most gyms are fairly decent people about it just because of sort of the nature of it.

>>662828
Also like just so you know, competitive boxing is on a whole different level, I hate to put it rudely, but unless you are planning on boxing 10 hours a day, you don't gotta worry about competitive stuff or "optics"

>>662836
thats absolutely fine the spirit of twinks vs dolls is important to me

>>662842
Eh, maybe. I mean I did Judo and BJJ and boxing and etc. with women fairly regularly, you aren't normally running in to spar with someone so you can knock their block off

i like that in roller derbies they'll sometimes have a trans lady and shes like tall and has a high center of gravity and shes bird boned

so she can block people but ultimately the butch cis women can shove her around

>>662852
Oh I know, it's wild that they talk about that volleyball chick when like.... I did co-ed volleyball in high school lol what are you talking about her getting hurt in high school volleyball... That crowd is mentally stunted, but they will also hate you no matter what so. Either way, you can always just go to a few classes and just sort of stay on the edges of it. They don't normally throw you into a spar like day one for striking sports out of fear that you will injure yourself or someone else.

>>662867
I mean I get it, that stuff is constantly shoved into people's faces. But I think you should try it. All the boxing gyms I've been to were fairly nice to anyone that came in.

>>662857
Do I have the cat ears!!!

>>662879
:3

making a sport for people who arent skinny athletes that people can like just get into with a club is like genuinely a really good idea

>>662885
That's BJJ, it's all stocky slightly chubby dudes. Oh and the occasional string bean

something i didnt vibe with the uk queer community on is how disdainful they are towards sports and exercise. these things can be for you, it doesnt matter that football culture or UFC turns you off

yea you 100% could do that

i never recommend the gym or exercise in the sense of "hurrr ur phatt!!111" its more like "you just gotta counteract the rot we all have from sitting down 8 hours a day"

i remember telling my friend who didnt particularly wanna lose weight that the gym would work for him bc it would let him give his grandkids piggy back rides on a beach in the future and the imagery was powerful enough for him

>>662903
I Will Help U In This Quest

>>662904
The imagery for me was GETTING LAID

Also martial arts is fun

>>662907
oh yeah i started off exercise bc i wanted people to think im hot + defend myself in Self Defense Situations

>>662908
lets fucking goooooooooooooooooooooooo

>>662910
I generally before I started exercising, I guess I was already a swimmer so it didn't matter. But generally people didn't ever put me into self defense situations.

>>662918
competition can be fun with friends once you all have attained some sort of proficency

i have so many goddamn ideas on how to Fix Schools in my head and the only place i can let them out is either here or send them to my right wing grandmother who formerly worked as an educator

.play beasts of no nation take that bridge

OUR NATION OUR FUTURE

better look me in the eyes motherfucker

im only taking the brave

im not taking no girls

are you ready to fight? are you ready to fight?

are you gonna take that bridge??? are you gonna take that fucking bridge?????????

superemely haunting scene

i get chills watching this

we're watching movie scenes now.

.play [YouTube] this scene is my childhood

.play [YouTube]

I got goosepimples

the commandant just marches with his child soldiers without even a gun in his hands

10 charisma commander

>>662982
What Will Happen Will Happen Motherfucker

>>662982
he has sex with the child soldiers

interestingly in this scene the commandant takes his time whipping up his soldiers into a frenzy in order to get his second in command killed

Oh there's also the sequence where they fire the mortars

and the whole point is that like he is convincing them that they won't get hit because the mortars are so inaccurate

.play [YouTube]

ok this scene is like 90% of my childhood

ray winstone is a force of an actor

>moonlight
i fear he may be a racist

Gettysburg

does anyone here have nightmares/bad trips that revolve around being a soldier in a line infantry regiment just marching towards your death with bullets and cannonfire whizzing past you killing your friends

like i used to take ket and just imagine myself in a napoleonic column marching towards a line of brits and dutch

>>663053
No, all of my nightmares are punching people and kicking them but it feels like I am in water

>>663068
i didnt put it on but i want to feel the energy of this scene

the music is too optimistic for the carnage that is about to come

>>663070
what would I play...

this is not a time of heroes this is a time and a place that belongs to death himself

my dream is to be napoleon in italy leading his soldiers across the bridge in the face of austrian guns
