I never said they deserved death. I said it doesn’t make sense to push a minority into it like that.

I also said later on that this would’ve ended very differently if this same live performance happened in an Islamic country. I said that to point out that in organizations like IOC act like they can do whatever they want push whatever narrative they like more in Europe, US and other places but then when they do stuff in Islamic suddenly they change their tone. Why the double standards? Why do they believe they can obliterate all religious symbols and push for minorities in the western world but they don’t do the same elsewhere?

Even worse, why would we allow that in the western world? Note that I’m not saying Islamist are right when killing those people because of their ideologies is correct, I’m just saying the IOC and other organizations should respect the majority of people, religions and culture in the western world and act accordingly. I find it really hard to believe that there isn’t a single sane person in the IOC that could’ve just said "no you aren’t going to recreate the The Last Supper with drag queens, that makes no sense in a place where Christians are the majority and drag queens are a minority.

Yeah sure, let’s try to get this minority to do a live performance on a major event on some Islamic country and then we can discuss treatment.

“Minorities dont deserve representation”

Why should they? If you’ve a majority that’s the culture that should be represented not a minority instead. This applies to everything in life not only ideologies.

Nothing, but why should they be on display when they are… a minority?

They had to apologize after the fact, I guess it’s clear.

I posted the photo, but yeah you can read more about here and maybe view it on YouTube.

Nobody, and that’s kind of the point. Imagine the games were hold in the UAE, I’m 100% sure a ton people would’ve died after that performance.

Your comments are pretty weird dude, you might want to do some self reflection

Yet nobody provided an explanation / answer to my question above. Maybe I’m the only one actually doing some self reflection there…

Because… nobody can say “we’ve lost people” while voting for people who push this kind of bullshit that will then “radicalize” the same people they’ll say that are lost.

I am, but the IOC people aren’t for sure. Why would you choose a minority like that doing a performance like that one for the “ceremony”? Since when does it represent anyone besides the said minority? Why would you allow a minority to mock an entire religion that for better or worse is the largest religion in Europe? Makes no sense whatsoever.

Bottom line is: those in power keep pushing these bullshits and then regular, normal people otherwise tolerant and open to minorities and different ideas start to be radicalized - after all everyone has a limit on mockery against their culture.

I’m not hating on anyone, besides International Olympic Committee, as those pieces of shit have no problem bitching about a surfer having jesus on his board and at the same time decide to mock an entire religion on the opening ceremony. How come you don’t see something wrong with that logic?

Last time I checked drag queens and whatnot aren’t the majority of the world’s population, so why would anyone choose that minority doing a performance like that for the “ceremony” then? Since when does it represent anyone besides the said minority?

Hey, you’re offending me! Stop it! I’m going to melt down! I’m not a “they”, I’m a “he” . 🌈

Two things I’ve noticed about American politics: first, the most left-wing American politician would be seen as borderline far right in Europe. Second, in the US there’s no left, because left would imply socialism that eventually lead to communism and that goes against the ideia of America, the American dream, the constitution etc. The entire country was built and maintained on the ideia of being against any form of communism.

🌈 Awww how can one not love this communist lemmy 🌈

So goddamn sick of communist populists disguised as middle ground socialists. Goes both ways.

Ahaha yes, because Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Venezuela and friend that are typically full left are giving their people very good conditions indeed. lol

The modern left is never effective. To be fair, it is even questionable if the left was ever effective - besides of course in sending economies down the toilet.
