What will those dastardly orientals come up with next?

      What does this post even mean? MMA's rise is because of fascist-friendly centrism? What?

        I can't really explain his phrasing, but I know UFC 1 was the ultimate advertisement for BJJ and the Gracie family is pretty awful, super pro-cop, and Renzo likes Bolsanaro. MMA isn't exactly where you find a bunch of comrades

          The gracie family are famous practitioners of BJJ and BJJ is the best on the ground martial art and since most fights go to the ground the gracies become renown from that. Not everything is a right wing conspiracy.

          Also, in general you won't find "comrades" in most places. Singling out MMA just sounds like typical anti-sports a.k.a. anti-working class hobbies rhetoric.

            That's fair, I didn't intend to single out MMA. I practice it myself and wish there were more lefties around. I suppose I could have said the same thing about a lot of sports and activities with that framing. I get along with "a wide variety" of political viewpoints about BLM, the coronavirus, etc. there and it can be frustrating

          This just sounds like typical smug "sports are for the dumb working class" rhetoric that we are all too familiar with.

          As for your many edits, make up your mind. Is this about Joe Rogan or not? WhatDoYouMeanPodcast said nothing about Joe Rogan and yet your post is now all about Joe Rogan?

              Stop calling me defensive, you're literally doing what I just said. You've edited your post three times, replied to me three times and still haven't made a coherent point so I'm not missing any point.

                  Except you haven't clarified anything. You did the typical middle class lib "sports are dumb haha" and then when I called you out on it you've made this ludicrous switch to joe rogan nonsense. You then said the other post said their post was better when it had nothing to do with Joe Rogan and that user has now recanted.

                      you’re not going to immediately dismiss the source before seeing the video excerpts built into it

                      hey dude why don't you fuck off with this shit and stop messaging me. everyone knows joe rogan is bad, you made a bad point and instead of reconsidering you doubled down and kept being smug.
