       by extension, there is a non-zero chance FIFA could become a nuclear power broker by simply offering preferential treatment to nuclear states to do their bidding.

       @ariadne And fuck all the media who relay information about the world cup more than they ever did the war, the climate crisis, the corruption, etc.I'm so tired of this artificially inflated craze for football. If it wasn't relaid constantly, for years, by the media and the shop selling garbage to "support" your country, this would be ignored completely

       all this to say: don't piss off FIFA, there's a plausible but admittedly unlikely timeline where they nuke your ass
