The countries leading the free world are t allowed to compete (China being the except) so it's basically burgeland its proxy states and Israel and people are pissed. No one gives a shit about that.

What countries can't compete? I thought DPRK was in the olympics and I assume Russia too

>>2688555
I'm reading that Russia got banned which is a shame because they can be competitive. It's the Winter Olympics so Norway is just destroying everybody as usual. Not really a junglegang kind of competition.

Russia isn't allowed. They're still banned. Russians can only compete under the a neutral flag or something.

They have to compete under this flag and anthem as "Independent Neutral Athletes".

humiliation ritual

No one gives a fuck about sports competitions any more, because the nationalism that attracted non-sports people to support their athletes is being eroded by globalism.

But then rightoids who are fighting tooth and nail to retain bourgeois nationalism, shoot themselves in the foot by making seething about the ethnicity, origin or gender identity of an athlete an Olympic sport and probably the one most reported on.

Also on top of that, the Olympics is annoying because NBC hogs the broadcasting rights so you can't look at sports that you want. They copyright Olympic videos all the time. PBS should have had Olympic copyright to make it government ran and public.

Why do you think this is shooting themselves in the foot? What do you think is the point of nationalism?

Because a fixation on “exposing” idpol reveals that being an <insert nationality here> is something largely imposed on people, rather than a true reflection of the natural state of people who live within arbitrarily drawn borders.

If being a “true” citizen of a given nation involves not being your true self, well who wants that? Especially in our age of hyperindividualism, where globalism thrives on the basis that it’s fine to be from America, for example, but want to essentially LARP as though you’re Japanese. Or be a woman with biker tattoos rather than being a wholesome traditional American housewife. Or to uphold the cultures, languages and traditions of both your current homeland and that of your ancestors.

To put it another way, rightoids make it clear that nationalism is not the recognition of a group of people’s common language, values, culture and traditions, but rather a standard they expect everyone to meet.

It doesn't expose that at all, it sounds like you are trying to force something to fit in with an idea you read. Are projecting something onto these people?

Canada ruined their reputation with Fingergate.

unironically does the opposite,since nobody takes those loonies seriously,not even the right-wingers (at least in appearance) in their respective country when they say "more like the Africa team XDDDDD" so everybody has to dunk on them and reinforce nationality transcending skin color and shit
