IOC and FIFA, sitting in a tree…
B-E-I-N-G-P-I-E-C-E-S-O-F-S-H-I-T
First comes greed
Then comes cash
Then comes bribes
Hidden in a stash
Don’t forget the FIA! Probably in the bushes masturbating.
Well, Israel is also still in, which says a lot about the ethical standards of the Olympic Committee
What is attacking civilians and a little genocide among friends?
Bare minimum they should be made to stop genociding before they’re allowed back in.
Russia, Israel and China should all be treated the same.
Why not USA too?
The bare minimum should be to have no Olympic Games. It’s ultranationalist propaganda, and a cursory glance at the Wikipedia articles on the first and second World Wars should be sufficient to convince oneself it’s a bad idea to promote the idea that nation states should compete against one another as adversaries.
Russia, Israel and China should all be treated the same.
Sure. The same as America.
Sounds reasonable to me.
The Russia, Israel and China are all doing their genocides on a scale far bigger than what USA is currently doing.
Therefore, be careful not to make it look like “these don’t need to excluded because USA isn’t”. Perfect is the enemy of good!
But otherwise I do agree: USA has no place in any international sports events as long as its behaving like the ass it’s been for at least the past 50 years.
The Russia, Israel and China are all doing their genocides on a scale far bigger than what USA
American Exceptionalism strikes again.
You’ve got Americans blowing up hospitals and daycares in Iran, shooting up fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela, sieging Cuba to the point of mass starvation, and facilitating genocides from Libya to Afghanistan. But the pre-programmed western response is “I think the other countries are worse!” That’s all that matters. You heard the other guys were worse.
I don’t know if it’s American Exceptionalism in this case so much as a failure to adjust to current year. That argument could have been made with obama-era Amereica but not today.
Pffft 8000 civilians killed in Iran together with their entire government doesn’t even count.
That’s within u/Lehmuusa’s acceptable limits. Invading and kidnapping the leader of Venezuela under false pretense is just another day of the month, and blockading and starving a country for oil for no reason is just an example of how might makes right.AFAIK we do not have verification that more than 8000 Uighurs died, so it seems to me that USA deserves to be on that list not less but MORE than China. Also I haven’t heard about China bombing girls schools.
I’m sure Cuba thinks the blockade on it is totally fine and doesn’t constitute a similar crime like Israel withholding aid to Palestinians. Or attacking a sovereign state and kidnapping it’s leader. Or attacking a sovereign state and killing multitudes of civilians. And that’s just the past year.
I agree Russia, China, Israel bad - but to think the US isn’t so fucking far up there with them, not just now but historically, is really not giving enough “credit” where it’s due.
So we can do genocide as long as it’s only a little genocide?
Should be rule that only countries that are not the agressor can participate. So no USA, Russia, Israel, etc.
… And the US? Kinda missing from that list. Same for Israel and Iran as well if we start making a list.
I’ve already included Israel as they are actively genociding the most people at the moment.
If we expand to concentration camps, we can add at least USA, France (I guess all of Europe contracting with other countries to handle migrants) that I know off. And I think that Canada does not really care about its native people when they go missing, so we could add it to.
That comment kind of seems to distract from the genocides and that kind of minimizes them no?
The US is for sure trying to silently genocide a ton of people. We’re several red flag alerts into the trans genocide, and the US is openly obsessed with white supremacy.
Canada has a very VERY rough history of indigenous treatment, but what’s France’s deal today? I can’t say I know that one
I developped a bit for France, and also EU because we have one european border (more like Schengen which is slightly different than the EU) and frontex is a crime against humanity, with all the mediterranean drowned people.
It was not my intention. I wanted to add that we should stop at the early signs of horror, and add some shitty countries to the list too.
In the case of France, we have frontex as a member of the EU, and they published a nice little book for kids about their expulsion and how it is only a trip back :) or our CRA (Centre de rétention Administratif) which are nothing else that concentration camp, where you are locked up without judgement, doctors can’t come in and you can spend years in worse conditions than our already bad prisons, before being deported back to “your country”. And children gets in CRA too.
I wanted to emphase on these country have issue with human rights, but our white countries too.
We’re rounding up non-whites and sending them to concentration camps to die. We have an entire organ of state devoted to ethnic cleansing. USAID cuts alone put our regime among the top fascists by bodycount.
I don’t anyone looks better by being put in the same category as the US.
Well, if Israhell is allowed to participate, IOC clearly has no morals and integrity
