I wouldn't really care if he turned up dead. I know that's not politically correct these days. I wish people would shut up about him and that baby killer nurse. With that I should probably go back to not posting

Every time I contribute my thoughts on a subject there's about a 50/50 it gets deleted so I wonder what the point is really. Especially as I'm totally falling out of love with the game anyway. Whole thing is just a masterclass in extracting money from the British working classes for an increasingly commercialised and soulless experience. Not that I've been to a live match for years now. It's not like this is an actual community. Just something I signed up to when Sven was in charge to pass the time. And to be honest I probably prefer intellectual spaces now. Not going to do a Col and fully delete my account but I should probably take the hint that I'm not welcome here and spend my time where I am.

I'm a big fan of internationalism but if we can't build a functional society at home then I struggle to see how we will contribute to a better way of life for all humanity.

Now we can't build anything and everyone thinks of German engineering as the gold standard. Was walking around the other day and couldn't help but feel society has completely eroded. We don't take any pride in ourselves as a nation anymore.

Stupid people who think their opinions matter and should be treated with the same level of respect as experts.

I'd love the news thread to get deleted.

That has to be a result of excessive tyre wear. Feels extremely harsh and I'd not be unhappy to see it reversed.

How the internet tries to force content down our throats. There's been this recent incident with an armed policeman appearing to use excessive and unnecessary force against a suspect. I don't want to watch acts of extreme violence without a very good reason regardless. Based on the second hand opinions of people who've actually served I feel pretty confident this wasn't a lawful act but I have nothing to add to the conversation. Now I'm not having a go at the people who viewed the incident and weighed in on it. There's absolutely a valid discussion to be had over what constitutes police brutality and what constitutes the finding out part of 'f***ing around and finding out'. What annoys me is how clearly the internet wants to ram this story down my throat. Clearly it's a goldmine for generating outrage and therefore clicks and engagement to it's being pushed heavily. I can't help but feel this online drive to push outrage content online for the benefit of capitalists is destroying society by making us addicted to conflict with each other. We are like the apes at the beginning of 28 days later. Subjected to 24/7 emotional stimulation based on violence and outrage. This is far more destructive than playing violent video games that was the moral panic when I was young. Those games were obviously escapism. This is real. We are watching real police brutality. Real people dying in war. Real political violence. Yet the underlying motive is profit by using this material to control our viewing habits. (Or in some cases like the CCP controlling what we are allowed to be angry about for the benefit of a totalitarian government).

I'd like to think so although I do think there's a little bit of gatekeeping goes on perhaps unintentionally.

Oh I see. Seemed like a fundamentally decent person but I know from experience that a break at least can be a good idea. Sorry if what I wrote sounded accusatory in any way. It's good of you to honour people's requests like that.

Not looking to instigate drama but what's the situation with Col? Did he really get his whole account suspended? But if he did then presumably Mark has greenlighted Col posting from a guest account? @Mark Did you get a chance to read my DM to you? Would be nice to get a reply in your own time. If I can influence anyone it would be to ask that we remember why we are here which is to share our love or connection with LCFC...

Interesting topic. I'll admit here that I couldn't name a single influencer. It's very much a post millennial phenomenon. My influencers were whoever I was trying to impress at school or copying to fit in. I do think it's a bit sinister that you have grown adults very carefully and deliberately looking to target children's emotional immaturity either for pure profit or to push an agenda. I think it would be very hard to come up with a regulatory framework because I don't see how you could legally define what an influencer is.

Just the forum. I need to leave due to the behaviour of the owner towards me. Sorry if there was ambiguity. I am hoping to find a different community. I posted here because it is the topic I will miss the most. There are some wonderful people here. It feels awkward to call specific people out so I won't. If you don't think it applies to you then it probably does.

I'm going to have to leave this place for my own sanity. Best of luck to everyone with their lives.
