Fuck the Olympics and fuck the American Nazis.

Cut the crap on the "civilized" world farce. If there was any decency the israeli onslaught would be punished. Instead these countries stand by them and do nothing.

Civilised doesn't have to mean flawless. The US is still a horribly barbaric country, and the weapons Israel use to commit genocide come from the US.

Many of the countries in question don't have a military presence that could dwarf the others, nor an army that would willingly fight larger enemies for those morals.

Obviously, I'm not including America in that statement.

You're correct but there is much that can be done without military intervention. The least these nations could have done is a weapons embargo and sanctions. Many other diplomatic levers that can be used but aren't.

The Olympics may be interesting, but they won't be happening in the United States.

The next American Olympics is scheduled for Summer 2028. America, and the world, will be a much different place by then. I expect that we will have an Olympics of mostly authoritarian nations, and no Democratic nations.

And there will be lots of ludicrous world records set, because they will fuck with the timings. These guys can't do anything without cheating.

I don't think the Olympics will happen at all in the United States in 2028.

I wouldn't be surprised if we had a Nero situation happen at the next Olympics.

Welcome to the Land of the Free, here's your bill.

Gawd I'm so tired.

Land of the fee, home of the slave 🇺🇸

Home of the Brave (we're terrified of non-white, non-male, non-cis, and/or non-Christian people)

Fuck the olympics. It's an oppressive, leeching grift in service of nationalism, imperialism, capitalism, etc.

So it's coming home?

My cousin was an Olympic sprinter and that couldn't make me give a fuck about the Olympics. Honestly it just seems like another thing to distract families so they have something to talk about. Also, the committee is basically run by the mob. Hard pass.

It's one of the few things where most of the world fights without anybody dying. We need way more things like the Olympics to remind us we are all part of the same species sharing a collective space ship Earth.
