He has no doubt drafted, edited, and submitted that article via devices that are only possible (and affordable enough for him, his company, and infrastructure more generally to purchase at scale) via effectively slave labour and abject corruption/maleficence in various countries at nearly every phase of production. In some cases, literally directly perpetuated by the parent conglomerates of the media outlets.

And—to be clear—that apathy to the suffering of others to support our lifestyle is a cross we all bear.

But the self-righteous hypocrisy, that so often goes unexposed and unchallenged, is one of the most deeply infuriating aspects of the entire organised narrative.

Does the UAE have problems with Human Rights? It absolutely does. Does our owner hold some responsibility for it? I think he does, as a member of the royal family and now Vice President of the country. Do the origin nations of other owners in the league also have problems with Human Rights? They absolutely fucking do. Do some of those owners also hold some responsibility for it? They definitely do, either directly or indirectly (one only needs to look in to where their wealth to run their clubs comes from).

This is an issue across not only sport but global industry writ-large. And the UK (and later US) helped create (and in many regions, still maintains) a huge portion of it, including in the Middle East.

To fixate on our owners for problems with human rights is an exercise in naked diversion and unadulterated racism.

But the masses will swallow it whole, without critical analysis or self-reflection, because they desperately want to feel morally superior whilst forgetting their duality of being both exploited by the elite and also complicit in the exploitation of many more elsewhere in the world.

It is all jingoism, xenophobia, and quiet desperation for absolution masked in performative clickbait bullshite.

Unfortunately, it’s only likely to get worse if we win tonight.

But I am prepared for that, because fuck the racist hypocrites, City Til I Die.

From The Times owned by News Corp, in turn owned by Walt Disney and Fox. All layered corporations guilty of all sorts themselves. All potential investors that Fenway Sports Group are courting to invest in Liverpool according to reports. Everybody has an angle. Nobody has a moral high ground. The football culture in this country is amazing. It supports 4-5 professional leagues. Many of the clubs have been in existence for a century or so. Almost all of them have a history with more than a few skeletons in the cupboard. I genuinely don’t mind any fan of another team having a pop at our club, it’s the outrage when you point out their own clubs issues that tickles me. Some people have become so gaslighted by the media they genuinely believe it’s good v evil when their team faces City. Some folk are as gullible as fuck.
 
Contrast and compare to our shite football media.

Italian papers call for Inter Milan to deliver 'the greatest joy' ahead of tonight's Champions League final clash with Man City... and ask for the Nerazzurri to produce 'another Wembley' after Euro 2020 triumph​


The Italian media have called on Inter Milan to deliver 'the greatest joy' ahead of tonight's Champions League final.

The Nerazzurri will go up against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in Istanbul this evening, in a battle for European football's most esteemed prize.

And, ahead of the game, the national media has taken the opportunity to send their final message to the players and staff of Inter Milan.

Colin Shindler being a twat in the Times, "City's success is tainted - I won't watch my team."

He goes on to say "The record of the owners of City... with regards to civil rights or human rights abuses appears not to bother 99.9 per cent of supporters."

Just because you wrote a book about City, don't assume you know what we think, you entitled prick.

Shindler is such a tedious ****.

Almost the entire mainstream media want us f*cked over tonight.
Wait til you see the shock on the Sky Sports News presenters over the next few days if we win.

Personally, I don’t think they do. They certainly appreciate the standard and beauty of our football And the genius of Pep. If all goes well tonight there will be a major sea change. All the snipers will begrudgingly change their opinions and before long there will be a mainstream love-in. I think this will be driven by the wave of support from new fans both here and overseas and their all important clicks. Soon Rudd will forget all about Jari Litmanen and will sound like a cross Terry Christian. Holt will get a Haaland tattoo and finish all his articles with COYB. Ferdinand, Humphries, Spitty and Neville will do themselves in. GPC will, just before carking it, say City are the greatest team ever.

All this will happen, but first…Come on you Blues!
 
Any other time an English team has reached the final, the media are full of live reports from the host city centre taken over by fans and how everyone is having the time of their lives, but I haven’t seen any coverage yet of our lads, other than on here.

The Mail gave online reports and photos last night. All upbeat.
