Apropos that it is happening in Japan. Hari-kari for the win, I guess!

Re: 2021 Summer Olympics
the slope is real
Gramsci and Marcuse know
cultural hegemony is the goal to be achieved through repressive tolerance
that has been the radical left's MO for decades
making a religion out of the Hegelian dialectic
that has become critical theory
they will only compromise temporarily to gain concessions from their opposition
and then immediately move the goalposts to extract further concessions
they are bad faith actors that cannot be reasoned with
no matter how much they protest to the contrary, they are gaslighting

Re: 2021 Summer Olympics
the slippery slope argument is a fallacy
fallacy simply means it is not proof, it doesn't mean it is not true
but the actual decline is in the elite classes
the Neoliberal project has failed, now they need a divide & conquer strategy, so they are adopting the Woke

Let's all take a second and appreciate the 10.0 landing Capps stuck on this one.

Apparently she was doing US the faor, by flying to the Olympics to quit.
How dare we believe our athletes owe us anything.
Welp - time to just stop sending punks to the Olympics I guess.
"Not owing" is a two way street.

She was doing you a favour by devoting her life to bringing the USA glory in the form of gold.
She's the most successful US gymnast ever.
But yeah participation trophies and shit. Gotta keep them culture war fires burning.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

If I'm completely ambivalent as to whether she's given the opportunity to represent the nation or not - how is she doing me the favor?Montegriffo wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 7:37 amShe was doing you a favour by devoting her life to bringing the USA glory in the form of gold.

She didn't bring any glory these games, despite what your handlers are feeding you.

That's the trouble with calling 2nd place ''the first of the losers'', you forget to acknowledge what an achievement it is.
How big is your trophy cabinet?
