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??

It’s one of those things where if the country is shitty enough, I feel an instinct to root against them. I’m from the US, hell I even have a Team USA soccer jersey but when Team USA plays in the world cup I root for them to lose. I get it that it’s not important or anything. I don’t mistakenly think that it’s revolutionary to root against the USA, I just don’t like the USA and would prefer them to lose. Just my two cents on the matter.
