I don’t have any good examples that I know of, but I am very curious. To me though, a rivalry is a rivalry when two or more of people are closely competitive. But is it really a rivalry anymore when someone has more victories over the other? I don’t think so.
Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake is a good example of “stop! stop! he’s already dead!”
A diss track that calls you out as a pedophile is the most-awarded song in Grammys history, became a theme song of the DNC, was the hit of the Superbowl. And at said Superbowl, he twisted the knife by inviting Serena Williams, someone who you stalked, to dance as a lil fuck you.
I don’t follow hip hop or much pop culture, and even I know this. I know there’s way more instances of absolute murder that haven’t bubbled up to people like me knowing. Time to wave the flag, Drake.
Working Class vs Ownership Class
The horse has been dead for thousands of years, and the dust of its former corpse has scattered to the wind. Yet somehow, it’s still being beaten because anything less would be “woke.”
In the US? Democrats vs. Republicans.
According to the rest of the world, the US doesn’t have a left party. Democrats are right wing and Republicans are extremist right wing. The left is completely unrepresented in our government. Both major parties lean conservative (from a global perspective) and care more about helping major businesses and the rich elite than actually representing the people.
That’s why there’s a whole movement centered around “no war but class war.” The American people are not actually represented and are instead pitted against each other in this fake “red vs. blue” distraction so we don’t actually go after our political leaders, or weed out the source of the money behind the scenes that dictate their actions.
the US doesn’t have a left party
Yes*.
Technically speaking, there’s the Green Party and PSL on federal ballots for many states, but the electoral system is positioned so that there’s no foreseeable way that a party other than the two main ones could realistically win. So for all intents and purposes, there’s no federal left-wing option.
If we’re talking football ⚽, a rivalry is usually a long term thing, that transcends temporary factors like winning records.
You only have to look at Liverpool and Everton, or Man City and Man United, or Aston Villa and Birmingham City, to see that rivalry can be fierce and lasting even when one side enjoys a long period of dominance over the other.
As long as it matters more than most games to both sets of fans, it’s a rivalry IMO.
US and China where it’s abundantly clear that China has now won.
