Bare minimum they should be made to stop genociding before they’re allowed back in.
Russia, Israel and China should all be treated the same.
If we expand to concentration camps, we can add at least USA, France (I guess all of Europe contracting with other countries to handle migrants) that I know off. And I think that Canada does not really care about its native people when they go missing, so we could add it to.
That comment kind of seems to distract from the genocides and that kind of minimizes them no?
The US is for sure trying to silently genocide a ton of people. We’re several red flag alerts into the trans genocide, and the US is openly obsessed with white supremacy.
Canada has a very VERY rough history of indigenous treatment, but what’s France’s deal today? I can’t say I know that one
I developped a bit for France, and also EU because we have one european border (more like Schengen which is slightly different than the EU) and frontex is a crime against humanity, with all the mediterranean drowned people.
We're rounding up non-whites and sending them to concentration camps to die. We have an entire organ of state devoted to ethnic cleansing. USAID cuts alone put our regime among the top fascists by bodycount.
I don't anyone looks better by being put in the same category as the US.
It was not my intention. I wanted to add that we should stop at the early signs of horror, and add some shitty countries to the list too.
In the case of France, we have frontex as a member of the EU, and they published a nice little book for kids about their expulsion and how it is only a trip back :) or our CRA (Centre de rétention Administratif) which are nothing else that concentration camp, where you are locked up without judgement, doctors can’t come in and you can spend years in worse conditions than our already bad prisons, before being deported back to “your country”. And children gets in CRA too.
I wanted to emphase on these country have issue with human rights, but our white countries too.
Sure. The same as America.
Sounds reasonable to me.
The Russia, Israel and China are all doing their genocides on a scale far bigger than what USA is currently doing.
Therefore, be careful not to make it look like “these don’t need to excluded because USA isn’t”. Perfect is the enemy of good!
But otherwise I do agree: USA has no place in any international sports events as long as its behaving like the ass it’s been for at least the past 50 years.
I’m sure Cuba thinks the blockade on it is totally fine and doesn’t constitute a similar crime like Israel withholding aid to Palestinians. Or attacking a sovereign state and kidnapping it’s leader. Or attacking a sovereign state and killing multitudes of civilians. And that’s just the past year.
I agree Russia, China, Israel bad - but to think the US isn’t so fucking far up there with them, not just now but historically, is really not giving enough “credit” where it’s due.
So we can do genocide as long as it’s only a little genocide?
Should be rule that only countries that are not the agressor can participate. So no USA, Russia, Israel, etc.
… And the US? Kinda missing from that list. Same for Israel and Iran as well if we start making a list.
Well, if Israhell is allowed to participate, IOC clearly has no morals and integrity
Well, Israel is also still in, which says a lot about the ethical standards of the Olympic Committee
