Burnley-Arsenal live thread. Is this the game that costs Arsenal manager Arteta his job?
#BURARS
Burnley are pressing early, hoping for an all too typical Arsenal defensive mistake.
Burnley doesn't give many opportunities, so Arsenal will need to be a lot more clinical and creative today than they have been so far.
Very little of note so far in this game. I may have yawned, and it's not really just about being tired. Would love to see Arsenal wake up.
Beautiful goal from Martin Odegaard! Arsenal needs to build on this and quickly score another.
Emile Smith-Rowe has been pretty quiet so far. He's on for his creativity, so I want to see some good dribbles from him. I'm hoping he develops into a less injury prone version of Jack Wilshere
Gabriel is really an underrated defender for Arsenal. He's where he needs to be and is more than willing to commit.

His ability to make a good forward pass is a nice bonus.
Half time. Pretty boring half to be honest. Arsenal right now simply isn't entertaining. Just trying to get the 3 points.
Arsenal have started the second half messing around with the ball. Let's hope they cut it out before it backfires.
This Cornet player for Burnley certainly seems to have woken them up. He's creative.

Great save from Ramsdale though.
That's not a penalty. WTF...
Seeing the replay, not remotely a penalty. This has to be overturned.
I would've lost it if that penalty stood. I can't tell this season. The refs and VAR live in their own world with their own magical rules and fancy.
Burnley isn't lying down for this result. Arsenal really needs another goal.

Also, I hope Tierney is okay. He's excellent, but he's got such a bad injury record
Saka has had some uncharacteristically poor touches this game. Still love my little Gunner though.
Arsenal are fairly solid defensively this game. They've been pretty questionable going forward though. Things just aren't clicking up front.
Good game from the goalie Ramsdale so far. Leno will need to put in work to reclaim the number 1 slot. I feel the team should have sold him rather than having him sit around, but let's see.
That should be it. Let's waste the next 30 seconds here and take the win.
That's it!

Nothing to write home about for sure. Everyone to really praise in this game is a defender or goalie.

Very nice free kick goal from Odegaard of course.
Thank you to the 5 people who paid attention to this Arsenal fan therapy thread. Cheers.

I understand the point, but also think it's important to separate the idea of a high income and wealth.
A lot of first generation college graduates are now making over $100k, but given starting points, debt and family obligations, are just working on setting up a decent living for themselves and their kids.
I still think that as long as taxes target income more than wealth, it makes it harder for those coming from poor families to firmly establish themselves in the middle class.

"If Richard Spencer was marching for women’s rights, I’d have no issue marching next to him."

Fascists feast upon weak mentalities to harm their victims.

No, you absolutely never need to think it's a good idea to march with Nazis. Angel indicating he'd march with Nazis if he agrees with the
This isn't even such a foreign discussion, as eugenicists were complaining in Quillette that if we support women's rights to choose, we should stop opposing their own eugenic ideology so strongly. Eugenics Monthly wants more Eugenics
If it's your march and a Nazi shows up to march with you, you should make it clear you don't want to associate with Nazis.

It doesn't seem complicated, for most people.

This is a terrible comment. People have been asking her to chill for days now and she just keeps digging.

Even in America, white supremacists have and continue to target Jews as well as African-Americans, even if in different ways.
In almost every phase of civil rights struggles, for over a century now, Jews are blamed for planting ideas in the heads of black folks who apparently can't think.

It was a theme during segregation and you see it today still with the (((Soros))) stuff.
Anti-Semitism and anti-black racism almost always goes hand in hand in America. White supremacists will make common cause with one against the other when convenient, but that alliance will always be conditional on it not yet being your turn.

Genetics certainly plays a role in who you are as an individual. What that means in the society you live in is completely dependent on the way people choose to structure that society.
In other words, your individual genetics don't *cause* your social outcomes. The society you live in and how it's structured does.
We can take a Polygenic Risk Score that predicts being a teacher even with high accuracy and restructure society such that those with the highest scores never become teachers.

Acknowledge genes, but let's not get carried away with claims about genetic causality.

You've got to appreciate the ability to create connections where none exist.

Turns out Republicans only decided to fight abortion rights because of college social justice activists.
For those who don't get me, my point is the two things have nothing to do with each other, and condemning college students in order to condemn Republicans is not logical, but clearly ideological.

It's as silly as those who blamed "wokeness" for the Taliban retaking Afghanistan.
A good thread on what many people were seeing and how this often works.

On moral issues, "neutrality" is a strange choice. Either one doesn't believe the issue significant enough to care, or one has chosen the side that's currently dominant.
I definitely accept that there are moral issues I'm complicit on in terms of not being active behind my stance. But taking a clear stance in terms of words is easy, and is the least that should be expected.
Those who can't so much as lend their voice to a moral cause when prompted, have instead used their silence to speak loudly in the other direction.
