This is a fascinating (and sick making) thread . The Romanian Orthodox Church is really fucking right wing, even by the standards of religious institutions in general

They're currently shooting a Dietrich Bonhoeffer Biopic. If in watching it, you get barry lyndon/excalibur/last duel flashbacks, well that will be because they are shooting it in er, Cahir.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 14-01-2023, 23:13.

This is extraordinary even by the "standards" of Whitlock (an "anti-woke" sportswriter)

I'm sure I didn't quite get all the absurdities, but I genuinely laughed aloud at Tucker Carlson being Jon Snow.
This was my favourite response:

Sports punditry is a real gateway drug to political conservatism. Think of all the terrible ideas that are part of football discourse. Whether its victim blaming those on the receiving end of illegitimate violence, the open questioning of the characters of young black men to a disproportionate degree, based on their appearance and body language
The nostalgia fuelled rejection of change, the replacement of consistent rules for all to follow, with arbitrary judgement based on the common sense of the 'majority'. To the elevation of magical thinking, magical individuals, the belief that deep rooted structural problems can be addressed by just getting the right angry leader in to lay down the law,
and then of course there's the relentless sportswashing of mass murdering regimes of fundamentalist extremists, the veneration of Russian oligarchs, the glorification of billionaires.......
christ only knows what the American lads are going to get up to.
