I just feel bad for the Russian athletes, all that training and not getting to participate.

I feel bad for all the Ukrainians dying in a war largely cheered on by Russian athletes.

You know this as fact? So they are going out of their way to stop training to go ROFL at all of the dead people…. You’re sick🤢

Do you know why both sides hate each other? I see the kid repping a “Z”… someone from the other side could have harmed his family in the past. Also is this for every sport? I don’t know the whole picture so I can’t really make an uninformed decision based on what the media provides me 😊

How hard is it to recognize the aggressor in this war?

It’s totally Ukraine’s fault they got invaded, they should’ve just behaved and let Russia take over their country! /s

Unfortunately not everyone is as spineless as you

Yeah I’m Mr. Krabs (an invertebrate) and I love me money, and it’s all being wasted on barnacles (Ukraine) that don’t help me country of Bikini USA which needs a lot. You should actually donate yourself to go fight since you’re such a nobleman and don’t care about your own home….

And yes that’s their problem not mine and shouldn’t be ours.

Good deflection, I’m surprised you managed to get any words out with Putin’s dick in your mouth.

Dont waste your time on these people. Nuanced geopolitical discussions arent in the cards for them. They get their world view from the news and know nothing about the world

Because a country invading another country and committing war crimes in the 4 digits is somehow "nuanced".

Is Russia not in Ukraine? Is the ICC not prosecuting them for war crimes?

You can call Media propaganda out, but that's not the media.

covano32 t1_je872v0 wrote

Yeah you dont understand. Its okay. The same people who run the ICC run the media and banks and the world. Now enjoy being a peasant mouthpiece, on their behalf.

They root for who they are told is the sad truth. Also everyone, I LOVE DOWNVOTES. NPC's showing themselves.

Bigworm4444 t1_jea946j wrote

Yes to both. I was literally telling someone not to be down on themselves and told them about a great book I read in the comments on some post and they went ham on my positivity (so many down votes)…. Now it’s like let me just be honest going forward because fuck these NPCs

Its a weird psychological experiment, reddit. People who want to be liked will surely alter their opinion because they will get ratio'd hard. For me it just confirms I'm correct lol people revile at the truth these days. Maintaining their bubble is most important.

Bigworm4444 t1_jeco0an wrote

I think they/hope they break that bubble or it gets burst once they lose a freedom they once enjoyed. And I agree with you about Reddit and weirdly what 4Chan is tying to do too. It’s working too well

I don’t. Whether we like it or not sports and the athletes competing in them are used as nationalist propaganda when representing their country.

janroney t1_je2ngk7 wrote

Not to mention a lot of Russian athletes and citizens choose to listen to state propaganda. Like Alex Ovechkin in the NHL. Fuck that guy.

Propaganda isn’t “anything I disagree with ideologically”. It has a meaning. And Russia engages in it egregiously at a state level.

covano32 t1_je6bs07 wrote

Wow listen to yourself. If only you knew. You think because Russians are subjected to propoganda, we can't be as well? Thats absolutley the level of intellect I expect from you people. I had no idea only one of the nations on Earth had propoganda. Wild. You probably believe America has free markets too how cute!

cavecricket49 t1_je3z6eu wrote

Now you're just being delusional, this is the first time I've stumbled onto this topic. Also, please elaborate on "western propaganda"? Do you subscribe to the narrative that somehow Russia is "rescuing" Ukrainian children and that labeling the perpetrators as criminal is incorrect?

covano32 t1_je41iyy wrote

Lol if you haven't figured out the western media is just propoganda then I cant help you. I subscribe to the narrative of the truth. Like i said, if you know you know. Eastern Ukraine didnt like that we overthrew their government, they didnt recognize the new Government (Zelensky), so he persecutes them for political reasons. Believe what you want though honestly. The world is going to burn soon anyways. And I cant wait. You deserve it.

In your case, it's just cope homeboy.

> he persecutes them for political reasons

Damn, is that what you kiddos call it? Talk about a persecution complex lmfao you guys will try to spin anything (Such as invading another country) as making Russia the victims. Wake buddy, you're just a bunch of pricks. Seriously, you cry, bitch, and moan about "oh world is gonna burn" while playing with matches, did you break all the mirrors in a ten kilometer radius just to avoid confronting your own hypocrisy? Sit down, boy.

Way to resort to screeching about "projection" in... what, the span of two posts? Chill boy, start making sense and maybe then adults will acknowledge you as potentially human. What am I coping about exactly, the fact you're so brain damaged it's hilarious?

I don't get how you can cry about me somehow being wrong when you're acting as a Kremlin mouthpiece. You're being this dumb by choice, right? I can't imagine how any organism with a brain would be this dumb by birth, a rat has more brainpower than what you've displayed so far.

Lol im just objective. Do you know what that means?

cavecricket49 t1_jeas49s wrote

Saying that you're X does not automatically mean that you're X. You saying that you're objective in this case is the equivalent of just... you know... lying? I mean, I know you morons tend not to care about lying these days, but did you have to make it so obvious? Be convincing for once in your pathetic life as a Kremlin mouthpiece lmfao

Yeah okay. America is a nice country that doesnt get involved in every other nation overseas! Including Ukraine where we overthrew their government and put in a friendly government less than 10 years ago. You don't even know what is happening little buddy. Its a complicated matter.

I think if your statement said "additionally", "still" or "also" instead of "just", it would be defendable.
