Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Loyalty to my class or my nation??? (lemmy.ml)

Part of me wants Ireland to get knocked out of the Rugby World Cup.

Reason: only the bourgeoisie in Ireland play rugby. The working class mock them and their weird accents.

But Ireland have never won a World Cup in anyfuckingthng so maybe now I am a traitor? Should I swear loyalty to the Queen??

Pragmatic answer: do whatever other people find cool. Because sports is ultimately pretty unimportant, you should take some time to put your political mind to rest, so you can bound with other supporters, have great time, be normal. Not politicising everything ever helps you understand others, and if you're ultimately always thinking about raising class consciousness, it's beneficial to avoid being an annoying lefty wierdo who constantly brings up politics!
