The only time when the modern Olympics was arguably kinda sorta not jingoistic dickwaving was back when it was a bunch of rich white people loving around and women weren't allowed to run fast because they were afraid their uterus would fall out or some poo poo Nonetheless the graft and bullshit is probably way worse now that there's massive money in sportswear et al and the idea of the Olympics being about amateur competition is pretty truly gone and won't be back without forced restructuring of the entire thing which will realistically not happen It's a shame because conceptually the Olympics is one of the cooler things that humanity does in that almost the entire world comes together and does poo poo, the reality of it just has so much bullshit Neurolimal posted:Didnt china miss out on a gold because they didnt bow to the judges or some dumb poo poo Yeah he didn't do the move or whatever you're supposed to do at the end but Gymnastics being judged subjectively by judges is always basically completely messed up and unreliable. It's realistically perfectly likely the Indian judge gave him a lower score than he should have gotten due to nationalism https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202107/1230108.shtml

Lol so are we defining CSPAM style posting as moronic and demonstrably wrong? Because that doesn’t really track with anyone but you, because other people actually have interesting stuff to say

thatfatkid posted:Try reading my post. It helps when you're not wrong or misread a post when acting like a smug oval office. Because I’m such a smug oval office I’ll need you to show me where: “Lol the d&d china thread are now twisting themselves into pretzels discussing how China does Olympics athlete training evilly unlike the noble and freedom loving West.” is reflective of what’s been posted. That’s absolutely something that’s been said by various dumb assholes in various places, it’s just not something being said in the D&D thread right now. In fact they’re clearly aware of that line of rhetoric towards China and though it’s not being discussed explicitly they’re implicitly refuting the idea that China is uniquely uncaring about its athletes by talking about the treatment of people in the Australian athletics program. They’re very literally saying the opposite of what you claim, and framing things in a way that emphasizes that China’s Olympic program is not far from western ones, which is presumably your position as well. If there’s some other thread or some old conversation I haven’t seen because I’m not glued to these threads all the time, for real please show me. I’m not trying to “win” and would be happy to be wrong, I just don’t like people trying to dredge up anger or some poo poo by saying stuff that appears to be completely off base to get cool points, which it appears you’re doing.

Spergin Morlock posted:I meant the Athenians and Spartans were literally cocks out while they competed. shot put was the original meatspin  the Spartans did not compete in the Olympics (besides chariot racing) because they figured if they lost in an event their image of unbeatable warrior badasses would be shattered. Then the Helots, which were subjugated mostly under the pretext they could never beat the Spartans, would revolt.Chariot racing was the exception because it was not the driver who won but the sponsor of the chariot and horses. It's actually how the first woman won an Olympic event, a Spartan woman sponsored a chariot.

The only difference between communism and capitalism is 700k Covid deaths and magnetic levitation trains.

The difference is that nothing is being done in the US about it for decades whereas china would probably get their executives disappeared into re-education camps before they show up again a year later extoling the virtues of the CCP and how the company should be nationalized. If you think this is a bad thing you might be a lib.

"Late stage communism" is a hilarious phrase, btw. But you're gonna have a hard time trolling when you play that card first.
