  • To be fair, it’s hard to criticise leftists for not voting reliably for the Dems if they keep moving right. I imagine your parents didn’t really become leftists, it’s just that Dems moved to where the Reps were decades ago.

    Supporting a Holocaust-sized genocide is not really “any issue” either. The reason why it still makes sense to vote for Harris is not because that genocide does not matter, it’s that Trump would start another one on American soil while endorsing the former as well.

    You’ve basically got the Goldman Sachs candidate, or Hitler from Wish. I hope people turn out for Goldman Sachs-lady, for all our sakes in the world.













  • No, but governments with authoritarian tendencies, especially those with a nationalist streak, put a hard focus on international sports competitions as a matter of national pride. Starting with the Nazi German Olympics being the first televised event in human history, look at the Russian doping scandals, or how the Hungarian prime minister has a gigantic stadium in his tiny home village.

    Competing in sports is okay. So is being an obsessed fan. When the government becomes an obsessed fan, that’s when the weirdness starts.

    President Xi Jinping, reportedly a big football fan, once expressed his hopes to turn China into a “global football superpower”.

    It is not okay to say this in an official capacity.
