national unity or something like that

look at Beijing 2008

I don't think before 2008 people focused on China so much but 2008 Olympics brought a lot of attention to the rise of China.

Yeah, I guess

Still a dumb investment

The only countries that should have the Olympics are the nations that have the stadiums and facilities already in place

Change my mind

well i mean

Los Angeles then

but like Los Angeles is going to build **another stadium**

for the 2028 olympics

Yeah

Gotta show that we’re *modern*

Flex on them poor ni🅱️🅱️as

That’s basically every Olympics ever lol

I think looking back on the 2012 Olympics it was the most pointless event imo.

How so

I mean i live in the UK and it wasn't actually that interesting tbh lol

not even when the torch relay passed in my area did i g i v e a f u c k

also it was a huge distraction from real issues like maybe you could've used that Olympic money you found (Tory government) to help the growing poverty of london instead?????

>money to build stadiums and shit
>no money to invest in education and sh1t

I mean it was 2 years of the Tory government telling us we don't have any extra money to spend in the s t a t e but suddenly finding lots of money to spend on a huge international event.

**You live in the South.**

**Your people are to blame for this shit.**

What does he mean by this

Pretty much everyone in Parliament is a Southerner and lacks any knowledge of the working class.

They're a bunch of rich bastards who continually fuck up and ruin everything for everyone.

Yeah, they're capitalists I guess

They promise something and then never deliver on it and the populace is fucking retarded enough to believe that it could get better, every single fucking time. An old joke was that Cameron would never leave office cause everyone bats a fucking eye.

they do mess shit up because it is more profitable

And it's not just the Capitalists.

Seriously

Labour,

The supposed "party for the people"

Is BULLSHIT

They do FUCK all.

Even labor is capitalist

We had a labour government, have a guess what they did?

it always has

They privatized things. I heard.

That was Thatcher.
