I'm talking about the motto.
Communiter may be bad Latin like many mottos but it refers to the world coming together to strive to be faster, higher, stronger.
It undermines individual striving for achievement, at best.

There are few positive interpretations for an intentional misuse of the ‘commune’.
Et tu Brute?
Do you find the notion of coming together to play games threatening too?
No I do not. I love the spirit of the Games.
However, our media has managed to make a mockery of it, like everything else.

But consider: the historic motto refers to the competition itself, not the nations involved. There is no ‘together’ in competition.

So, adding the ‘commune’ implies that either:
1 - the athletes are supposed to be helping each other (ridiculous)
2 - the games are simply an exhibition of how ‘fast and high’ the global governments can get someone to go. Again, the individual is undermined.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

ridiculous is the point

mockery is the point

they are attacking the core beliefs of the Enlightenment, everywhere at once, all the time

this is a Communist takeover on a scale which dwarfs anything that occurred in the Cold War

in the Cold War, there were two camps, in this war, it's one camp being brought down from within

Somewhere in Eastern Germany are a bunch of old ladies with severe acne who are really pissed off right now.

Not yet. If you don’t watch SJW/Woke programming you will be put on a watch list. Kind of joking but you watch that will happen!
There is a time for good men to do bad things.

For fuck sake, 1984 is NOT an instruction manual!

oh, I'm behind the iron curtain here, Jock

and I was an elite soldier, decorated veteran

pretty sure they have us on a watch list here already

but they can go ahead and watch, watch me succumb to the Prince of Peace, the Almighty, please do

at the end of the day, what do I have left to hide ?

I tell ya'll everything, from the heart on my sleeve

and that's published to the internet, they can read it at their leisure

I will soar into the next world to come, there's nothing they can do to stop me

not to mention, if they want to get to me, they'd have to get through my wife first

they don't want to do that, they are afraid to go there

she is like an avenging Angel, she would dive into the darkness to come for me

that's all a man needs in this world, I have found

see, there is no law which binds me

only my wife tames me

so long as I am right with her, that's all that matters

if they incite her to spread her wings in fury, that's not on me, that's on them

so long as I was not the one who betrayed her, I am good

it's not about them, it's all about her
