For a second I misread and was like, wait, what? Then I clicked and was like, ok, wow. That’s a take…

The world should if they aren’t.

Everyone should boycott Eurovision on the grounds that it’s awful.

I love it. The amount of drama is insane. There’s always loads of people screaming it’s not political while this is the most political TV event ever. There are so many people acting uncomfortable all the time. And sometimes there’s a nice song as well, but rarely.

You shouldn’t watch it for the music. You should watch it for the rest. Then and only then it’s amazing.

How about “Germany should boycott ESC to avoid embarrassing themselves again, and again, and again”? Germany is one of the founders of the ESC and IIRC one of the larger contributors, but devastatingly unsuccessful over the last decade or two. Maybe it’s just time to give up.

Germany should be boycotted for guilting themselves over genocide into cooperating with another genocide.

This is what I can’t understand about Germany’s position. I know they spend a lot of time teaching their youth about the holocaust, yet they seem to have completely missed the the point.

The lesson wasn’t “Always support the Jews”. It was “Always stand in the way of genocide”.

Why is Germany always the one in favor of genocide?
