People in the Amazon have been enduring flooding and weather issues, there is no denying that these people plan to come in during a time of vulnerability and struggle. Missionaries are monsters. If you support this type of conversion, you are apart of our problem.
They are traveling disease blankets. They’re going to bring in even more trouble and for what, to ruin them?
Petition to do this to all such colonialist “missionary” choppers
Wait what the fuck that still exists? People still do that?
Dear evangelical Christians, stop doing this! This is dangerous on both ends. You could be exposing indigenous people to diseases that they don’t have immunities to, and if you go to tribes that are typically hostile (like the sentinelese) you are asking to get killed!
Plus, trying to invade someone’s space and preach about jesus is not cool, whether you go to a remote tribe or someone’s doorstep. Leave people alone!!!!
“Charlie, a few important words. We are not in a bargaining position with Stanley, but I’d do anything you asked me within my power, as the good Lord sits above.”
“Just get me out of here, Nat.”
“Stanley wouldn’t let you go.”
“Suppose I just tore up the contract and we moved away?”
“What would he do?”
“Yes, what would he do?”
“God forbid what he would do. Charlie, never underestimate a man because you don’t like him; I know Stanley since before he had his fingers manicured every day. What he would do. We’ve got no choice, Charlie.”
We’ve been getting a bunch of these questions. Luckily for you peeps, some of our admins have martial arts experience ánd have opinions!
What martial art should I practice?
I would say, most importantly, choose a martial art you like, that way, you will be more motivated to keep practicing it. Ofcourse, some of them are more effective in a streetfight than others. A lot of different cities and countries have different streetfighting ‘cultures’ so it’s impossible to write a text that covers it all. Wich didn’t stop this admin from doing exactly that.
What martial arts are useful for self-defense?
Good question! If you want to learn unarmed self-defense, the most sensible seems to be a combination of something like Krav Maga, combined with a grappling martial art and a striking martial art. With muay thai, boxing, kickboxing, BJJ, you can’t go wrong. Make sure you get enough full-contact sparring, after you’ve learned the basics. If you are more interested in weapons and tools for self-defense, look up the laws in your country. Don’t break the laws, kids, mmmkay?
What martial arts should I stay away from?
There is no single truth when it comes to this and lots of people will disagree endlessley about these things, but there are some simple tips and tricks. Most ancient martial arts, with a lot of focus on stances and katas, will not be very useful against a dedicated attacker, more modern styles tend to be more effective (see above). Of course there will always be charlatans and McDojos. If your trainer claims they can knock someone out with their pinky, leave and never come back. A decent trainer will also have you full-contact sparring at some point. (Also, ‘martial arts’ like aikido and systema are a scam.) On a personal note.
Martial arts can be great fun and really boost your self-confidence, unfortunately there’s a lot of cops and macho bullshit at a lot of gyms. Look around, maybe the gym closest to you isn’t the nicest, I spent two years taking a 1 hour train ride to go thaiboxing, because the gym was so much better then the ones close to me.
If you have built up some experience and you have friends with experience, why not start your own little boxing club? A club with good values like mutual aid, being against discrimination and ‘don’t be a dick’. You would join a growing group of antifascist fighting clubs that are changing sports and maybe make some new friends along the way!
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
