in light of recent ISU rusfed unban (with heavy restrictions still in place). we all know that any major organizations like say an international governing body of a sport are obviously going to be in the pocket of the american empire so i'll spare the criticism there because fork found in kitchen. but it is interesting (pathetic and shameless) how figure skating fans are just completely uncritically in support of america as a global hegemon. i say this not as a fan of russian skaters - i personally have never enjoyed the skating that their training style cultivates and i did enjoy the break from constant rusfed string-pulling that the ban brought. but everyone in this "community" has so much smoke for russian skaters being allowed to compete in international competition and especially on twitter people who watch russian skating have been nearly completely ostracized. people whine about competitions being held in china as it's "authoritarian" (lol) or whatever else and list radio free asia when asked for sources. constant praise for american skaters zero qualms with comps being held on american soil while we are currently a year into an active genocide and several war fronts (necessary to maintain empire) and political repression and instability domestically. why can russian skaters (and chinese skaters, to an extent) not be divorced from their country of origin but american skaters can be? why is supporting america in sport apolitical when america is objectively worse on the global stage? like wouldnt it be so much easier and less exhausting for the community to just say you believe all of america's geopolitical adversaries and peer-competitors are evil and america can do no wrong. guilty until proven innocent vs innocent even if proven guilty. it's just irritating because everyone postures as politically engaged and "radically" (lol again) socially conscious but basically has the same belief system and outlook on the world and as any sitting democratic congressperson. you don't even try to be morally consistent. you people stand for nothing

So sad about Deanna and Max :-( I mean I would only have seen them at the gala but I love them so that would have been enough for me. I'm just glad it's not an injury, they should be back on track soon.
