  • Out fight with range-y kicks and the long guard to keep you out of the pocket. Focus on hitting the body with teeps and the lead side kick, also chopping at the lead leg and calf. All a means of frustrating you into rushing in to hit while sapping stamina. Meet your forward pressure by crashing into the clinch to smother strikes and initiate grappling. Dirty box to trip takedown or looking to find elbows/post and sneak head kick over shoulder from clinch break. On the ground work towards half guard or side control -> crucifix. Smash in elbows and threaten the submission if you try to cover up (d’arce choke and americana respectively)








  • Banned from /r/comics for this. Never let anyone tell you the liberals don't know they're fucking up, they're constantly aware that they're sleep walking into destruction and they're furious that you'd point it out

    I'm going to lose my mind when Biden loses and everyone blames the voters rather than the party that ran an obviously unpopular candidate. If the democratic party actually thought this was an important election they couldn't lose they'd be running someone else



  • That’s kind of how it works de facto even if not de jure. The middle class that can afford home ownership are the ones most active in politics and driving the machinery. That’s why American politics are split between petty bourgeois red team and professional/managerial strata blue team and their cultural neuroses. Shoutout to the 2016 film Catfight with Sandra Oh for capturing that dynamic. Just two terrible people kicking the shit out of each other and making all of our lives worse for it

    We need to talk about how the bolsheviks botched the national question and its horrifically right wing outcomes decades later. There’s a reason all those eastern european nations went radically right wing the second the USSR was dissolved. Nationalism run wild


  • Zelensky just removed Zaluzhny from heading the military because Zaluzhny was getting too popular and becoming a political threat. Important to point out that Zelensky has called off the elections that should be happening right now and that there's growing dissent for his administration due to how poorly the war is going. Also worth pointing out that Zaluzhny has ties to the far right militias of the Ukrainian armed forces and flaunted this fact when Zelensky first tried to have him removed. It would be very easy for NATO to back Zaluzhny and his right wing thugs (the same ones that took part in the maidan coup) against Zelensky if Zelensky breaks with the West's wishes. US intelligence agencies are very good at pulling at threads of existing dissent to create chaos and oust difficult political leaders
