Yes, as much as a I despise these reporters’ tactics, hubris, untruthfulness, vitriol, and the Harris family’s apparent general disdain for the welfare of others — and perhaps because of all of that — I cannot bring myself to wish this sort of suffering on even them.

A mental breakdown can be incredibly painful and destructive to both the person and their family/friends, and I can’t say there are many people I would want to see afflicted with it.

Ultimately, the only thing that sets us apart is not acting as they do. It’s more difficult, very rarely pleasant, often mentally/spiritually taxing, and always frustrating, but being the example of what you wish to see in the world is, in the end, one of our only means of potentially effecting change. It’s one of the truest expressions of agency and compassion.

@Prestwich_Blue’s family deserved that better example, as do many others, and we should be the ones setting it, because we know we cannot depend on the Harrises, Delaneys, and Conns of the world to consistently do so.

I believe it was Mahatma Gandhi who said an eye for an eye and the whole world will go blind.

The American libertarian academic Noam Chomsky characterises 5 filters of the modern commercial media:
  1. Ownership
  2. Advertising
  3. Media elite
  4. Flak
  5. The common enemy
Coverage of City fits this pattern - particularly the flak and common enemy. For flak see the usual suspects all lining up to pen articles criticising the gullible Manchester City fan taken in by their billionaire owner.

He's a libertarian socialist. Quite a big difference.

I hope the cünts at UEFA are now shitting themselves in case we reveal a file full of factual discrepancies with their ‘shenanigans’

I've read that you advocate not visiting the Guardian. Saw someone even refer to you and Blue Moon. I had nothing to do yesterday so over the course of a couple of hours I used Tor to visit the Guardian, reporting all anti-City posts that I came across. Hopefully I played a part in having comments closed. I reckon if a few of us did that on every footy article where City are getting abuse then we could succeed in getting the comments closed very quickly. Why should the regular trolls over there have free reign to write whatever garbage they like about our club and fans?

While not wanting to defend the Guardian, it's not just in their comments section that the anti City trolls ply their trade, almost every City article with a comments section is infested with them, no matter how anodyne the article.

Right, time to be honest, did someone text you to say you were in it or...………………………….. did you buy it like you do everyday.

We need to know.

I subscribe to it. Got a good deal last year. The quality of the writing is brilliant and it's pretty impartial & objective, plus it covers subjects I'm interested in.
