Sporten bliver dermed uundgåeligt en del af konflikten, og vi har et ansvar for ikke at normalisere det unormale.

Så længe krigen raser, har sport med russisk og hviderussisk deltagelse ikke min interesse.

🏆 No alcohol, no LGBT+ rights—Saudi Arabia is a disastrous World Cup host. Boozy England fans will be distraught, but for LGBT+ people, it’s dangerous to even attend. FIFA’s worst decision yet. 😡 #NoToSportswashing

"narcoticized by technological diversions" - 1985, Neil Postman

#NeilPostmanWasRight1985 github.com/RocketDerp/A...
Neil Postman 1985 "For all his perspicacity, George Orwell would have been stymied by this situation; there is nothing “Orwellian” about it. The President does not have the press under his thumb. The New York Times and The Washington Post are not Pravda; the Associated Press is not Tass. And there is no Newspeak here. Lies have not been defined as truth nor truth as lies. All that has happened is that the public has adjusted to incoherence and been amused into indifference. Which is why Aldous Huxley would not in the least be surprised by the story. Indeed, he prophesied its coming. He believed that it is far more likely that the Western democracies will dance and dream themselves into oblivion than march into it, single file and manacled. Huxley grasped, as Orwell did not, that it is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcoticized by technological diversions. Although Huxley did not specify that television would be our main line to the drug, he would have no difficulty accepting Robert MacNeil’s observation that “Television is the soma of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.” Big Brother turns out to be Howdy Doody." ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, year 1985, page 111 Howdy Doody is an American children's television program (with circus and Western frontier themes) that was created and produced by Victor F. Campbell and E. Roger Muir. It was broadcast on the NBC television network in the United States from December 27, 1947, until September 24, 1960." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy_Doody Trump plays Tony Clifton Trump as entertainment, Howdy Doody. Tony Clifton acts entertain EVERYONE who mocks and joins the total mockery. Mocking is not resisting Trump. Mocking Trump is joining MAGA values. Mocking into a mockery of MAGA. Media addiction itself is MAGA Trump.
