Cancel the Beijing Olympics ASAP

[Dumb Ideologies]

To ensure maximum seething, China should make Corona-chan the official Games mascot.

It really is telling for how long this bullshit's been that that reference sounds really old.

Of all the things you could have picked to choose to cancel them over such as the Uighur Genocide, harvesting organs from the Falun Gong, cracking down on Hong Kongers' rights, having landlords, and a whole litany of other crimes against humanity, you choose to make this about COVID for some reason.

COVID has had the biggest direct impact on the West.

Westerners as a group don't really care if people in the Global South get horrifically killed.

Hell, we don't care when the US is responsible for mass murder overseas. But being the origin point of a pandemic (that they're handling better than we are)... that's going too far.

[Shofercia]

Millions dead.

Many who survived physically damaged and psychologically traumatized.

All because of a disease that started either from China's labs or China's failure to regulate their own wetmarkets, and China's failure to prevent this new disease from spreading to the rest of the world.

Holding the Olympics in China would be an insult to the memory of those who died. And it would embolden the CPC to wonder what else they could get away with.

You can blame other countries' failure to prepare for this pandemic until you're blue in the face, but the fact remains that none of this would've happened if China did the bare minimum to contain this, and there being actual consequences for this matters more than a few Olympians having to wait a few more years for their gold medal. People call it a once in a lifetime opportunity, but that's not necessarily the case. There are those who've gone to the Olympics multiple times.

But cancelling the Beijing Olympics actually WOULD be a once in a lifetime opportunity. And opportunity to send a message to the CPC there's a limit on what they can get away with, and to the IOCC to never pick China again.

Should China be held accountable for COVID? Yep.
Should athletes be punished in order to do so? Nope.

Who's willing to host the Winter Olympics on such a short notice, during COVID-19?

[Proctopeo]

Seems a bit too late to do that. Boycotts may be in order, however.

Just a reminder that COVID-19 was detected in Italy in September of 2019, well before the outbreak in Wuhan.

Unfortunately that study seems to have been torpedoed by contaminated PCR tests.

I thought I smelled something fishy.

Is it a spectacular failure to bring a definitive end to famines across China, which has experienced none whatsoever since 1961?

yes what a glorious achievement they accomplished in learning to use fossil fuel energy to boost agricultural productivity, no other country could have figured out such magical technology (except the Americans I guess lol) and as a result the future of the Chinese food supply is looking bright! If the rest of the world could just also pave their river valleys in tractor factories & fertilizer plants we’d all be fine right now, America & China have permanently ended famine as a threat to human life and there will be no consequences or future famines waiting for us as a result of the plenty that the superpowers have mercifully bestowed on humanity

The genius of Mao Zedong is as great as it is unending, who else could've correctly identified sparrows as the cause of all of humanity's ills?
