Did you all enjoy the opening ceremony at the Olympics? :)

They banned Belarus (what bad did they do?) and Russia (always bad, since cold war)‌ from participating, but let the murderous regime of Israel take part? I can't do different‍ but call this years Olympics "Games of Shame".

What a clown world.

How funny that⁠ the 'most evil man who ever lived' revived the Olympics, restarted the Olympic fire tradition,⁤ and let the whole world come to celebrate the Games of Friendship and Peace. Even⁣ then, the US was trying hard to convince everyone to boycott the games.

And even⁢ more funny, that the black gold medalist Owens rode in the front on the bus︀ in Germany and was celebrated by the German people when he got the gold medal,︁ things that he couldn't experience at 'home' in the US. The man who actually snubbed Owens was President Franklin D Roosevelt. After the 1936 Berlin Olympics, only the white athletes︂ were invited to see and meet Roosevelt. Owens – the most successful athlete at the︃ games – bemoaned that he "wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with︄ the President".
 
yah just from the limited pictures ive seen, the opening ceremony describing perfectly the green‌ united republics of ursulandia.
 
#Bingo!
100% this!
Damn! You REALLY︀ know your history! Most people would go into anaphylaxis shock when I (used to) bring︁ this up. smi(&%
 
@jafo I think it is like with art or literature.

On one side, a lot‌ of what is considered valuable today, was controversial at the tone it was created. That's‍ why it eventually became so valuable.

On the other side, remember Andy Warhol and the⁠ 15 minutes of fame. It simple is just much easier to extend those 15 minutes⁤ by an absolutely controversial act rather than something harmonic. Hence, there is a natural tendency⁣ to controversies rather than a classical performance.

And last but not least, remember that the⁢ average wellbeing today is much higher than what it was 120 years ago. There are︀ so many more possibilities, healthcare is much better and starvation became extinct in many parts︁ of the world. Consequently, there are not many reasons to glorify an era of Western︂ suppression of the rest of the world by showing performances of that times. The west︃ achieved a lot through suppression and I personally don't think it was correct.

But yes,︄ they could have shown France from a more classical point, but honestly why not go︅ to the next Asian shopping mall to get a glimpse of it?
 
I agree with you here, though I believe it's⁤ conditioning through media that leads people to defile logos and loose track.

I wouldn't︀ be so sure about the 'starvation' issues though.
Here some data from France, UK is︁ much worse, especially for children.

But we always have money for the 'weather change'︂ and 'Ukraine', or any other plot thought out
by the global parasites to move the︃ wealth from the taxpayers to corrupt politicians and corporations.
And like Rome, circuses and games︄ come before the fall, and keep the plebs mentally occupied.

Don't get me even started︅ on the trillions that went into space, and all we got is a toxic teflon︆ pan.
 
I knew you would come up with something good & funny, but this one is over‌ the top! You have outdone yourself once more. smi(&% rof/%
 
I have NEVER believed in predictions,‍ but I "predict" that in the next few months, hundreds of men & women in⁠ their 30s, 40s, and 50s will "come forward" to accuse the Archbishop of child molestation...decades⁤ ago. ca#"!
 
I used to think satan was an old tale until I spent a night camping‌ in a Siberian settlement. He moved from there to organize the Olympics.
 
I'm a bit lost...my‌ brain can't seem to crossover to this reality, so to save me from assumptions... Is‍ Imane Khelif a guy? 🙄
 
Biology says‍ so...

But opinions and feelings outweigh science, so I too am not sure.
