I've said it here before, nationalism and patriotism are tools that the rich f#cks use to attract cannon fodder, so they can make money on war profiteering.

Xenophobia is used by the same super-rich class to divide and conquer the rest of us, so that we don't cart them off to the guillotine.

Question everything. Think for yourself. Turn off Fox News.

When you have to add an adjective before the term, it is not accurate.

I also consider the focus on competing nations in athletics to be nonsense. I feel like the point of that is to enrich the governing bodies at the expense of the athletes. National identities are kinda BS as well, often used by powerful entities to manipulate the population.

She's Jamasian so she could run for a bunch of different countries.

I also loved that song Electric Avenue her pops did in the 80s!!

Trying to recognize her adoptive father is hateful? Being a biological father takes 5 minutes but being an adoptive father takes a lifetime of commitment. That sounds more like love than hate. The world would be a better place if all children were so fortunate.

Wrong. Making it to the final means you beat all who didn't. Same as any other sport, pal.
