    Kick US media out of your country, use opensource software and you'll be better off.

    I wish I could at least be like Ed and too stupid to understand how shitty it is here.

    Unfortunately, that's how it got this way. Too many Eds.

    The thing is, they don't truly understand the consequences. Otherwise c/leopardsatemyface wouldn't be a thing.

    They believe that they are free from consequence because they keep being told that, and by the odds they're unlikely to face major direct consequences of their choices. And when they do, often it gets blamed on "the other side" instead of the people they choose to represent them.

    It's not about them being too stupid to understand, or too evil to want better, it's about an unwillingness to think about the consequences of their actions.

    The US is going to take gold in every event. Mostly because other countries won't be allowed to compete or won't want to.

    I've always believed that all Olympic countries take part in some kind of enhanced performance drug program.

    The poor countries try it and they are easily identified and disqualified

    The mid tier countries do it cautiously and sometimes get away with it

    The rich countries like the US do it all the time but they are so sophisticated that they can't be caught.

    Rich countries have highly developed sports infrastructures that allow better detection of talents and training the talents in the best possible conditions. That is probably already enough to explain the difference in results. No need to look for some drug conspiracy. If your city doesn't have the money to build a swimming pool, you'll never have swimming champions from there.

    Russia, a powerhouse, had a ridiculously complex scam going and even they were caught.

    They aren't rich in the normal sense, but they are powerful and secretive, so I think they provide a valid counterexample.

    Does it go on? I'd believe constantly. Does it get found out? Every time, albeit there's always a short window of success. Do more powerful nations have more success at cheating? Yeah, since the smaller countries can't cheat as well.

    But not a conspiracy, just correlation, I think.

    If you think Canada is bad (and it sure is), you should see how the US treated its indiginous peoples.

    lol I didn’t even think of this. Personally, I think that hosting the Olympics is a really fucking stupid thing for a city to do, so I’m just gonna sit back and laugh.

    And yes, I’m American.

    Fuck the olympics. It's an oppressive, leeching grift in service of nationalism, imperialism, capitalism, etc.

    Cut the crap on the "civilized" world farce. If there was any decency the israeli onslaught would be punished. Instead these countries stand by them and do nothing.

    I cannot fathom how maple MAGOT 51st staters haven’t looked up the price of insulin in the US vs Canada yet.

    Consider all MAGAts cultists. You cannot fathom how fucked in the head they are. You could point this out, any logical person would see how crazy expensive insulin and other medication in the US Healthcare system is ... but MAGAts have no logic whatsoever. They will just say its "fake news" or liberal propaganda.

    I am serious. You have to shut MAGA down. These bitches are crazy.

    The football world championship is going to be in the US too. The goalies aren't the only ones going to be shot at.
