Can’t we save pictures like that for the Taiwan quarantine hotel thread? Even in a thread about genocide, those are putting me off my dinner. :nauseated_face:

I’ve always felt it’s better to be honest about these sort of things.

Im not anti CCP because of the muslim situation now. Whether thats genocide or not. Im boycotting the evil doers for EVERYTHING else they have done and are currently still doing. They may not have reached nazi level, but they arent far off either considering their history.

What about tibet? Or various small groups during the famine. The big famine i mean.

Regardless if they meet the literal definition of genocide. Killing and maiming tens of millions, and destroying hundreds of millions of lives, is worthy of boycott anyway.

I find it truly bizarre that anyone could ever think the Olympics are anything other than political. It’s pretty much right there in the basic structure of the thing.

Well. That’s the propaganda behind it. It’s sports they say. This is where we come together despite differences.

On the surface it sure looks like that.

Chinese skater with the slight of hand cheating. Watch the hands pushing the little black puck or whatever it’s called.

*Some reporters interviewed by the Global Times on Monday also called on some Western media to focus on sports rather than unprofessionally politicizing the Games and smearing China, saying they should accept China’s development, which is beneficial to the world. *

Good catch! That propaganda piece from GLOBAL TIMES could be in the misinformation / disinformation thread.
