#Olympic protest

[violent138]

In universe, Dick Grayson's equivalent of Bruce dropping out of med school is absolutely everyone demanding to know why he didn't go to the Olympics with his gymnastics abilities.

#Dick feebly tries to protest that he wasn't that good #which backfires so much that he has to publicly apologize #hc that team usa has tried everything they could think of to get that kid to qualify for the olympics #batman #dick grayson #nightwing #dc comics #batfamily

The Olympic Games came to France a year early and this anarchist won the 100 metres gold medal The Olympic Games came to France a year early and this anarchist, outrunning a riot cop, won the 100 metres gold medal in the city of Besançon during the protest of March 28, 2023 against Macron's pension-reform that raised the retirement age to the age of 64. According to photojournalist Emma Audrey that recorded the video, the cop was unable to catch up with the protester and the latter managed to escape. The high turnout in protests in smaller french towns and cities has been a striking feature of France’s biggest protest movement in several decades. While national and international media tend to focus on the mass marches staged in Paris, turnout has often been higher – proportionally – in other parts of the country. The reason behind this lies in the fact that these mass protests and riots are not just about pensions. It's about poverty, job insecurity and the dearth of public services in rural areas, where people feel abandoned by the State. Macron boasts about unemployment figures going down, but the truth is that more, and more people live on low paid and insecure jobs, particularly women. It has to be noted that in order to pass his pension reform, President Macron bypassed parliament by resorting to article 49.3 of the French constitution, a move that outraged people and fuelled the sentiment that Macron's policies should be fought in the streets.

words pale to express how much I hate macron at this point

#thoughts #my grandmother was sent home with an unexamined broken bone #because she is old so not a priority and the public services are fucking drowning #then obviously she fell again and broke two more and got open wounds #then she was taken in and stored in a *corridor* for days #and the operation on her shoulder is being stalled because they have zero openings #AND THIS BITCH is out there speaking of cutting 10 billion more funding for hospitals #you are selling us to private US interests like there is no tomorrow #forbidding us from protesting for our rights and maiming and killing your own citizen when we try #gassing up the far right to try and win by comparaison EVEN THOUGH you do the EXACT same thing as them AND criminalizing the left #pussying out of saying you 100% support Israel when this is actually what's happening because you're a coward #AND prepping us for a war with russia that I'm fairly sure has nothing to do with genuine solidarity with ukraine #but far more with the european political chessboard and your own mark upon history because that's the kind of person you are #and doing your little ego parade for the olympics as though this should in any way shape of form be the priority right now??? #as if it's not unbelievably dangerous given the current state of the world?? #I want to eat a wall every time I see him on my screen #I am. very angry about many things at the moment. :)

i cannot believe i have to say this but if you’re on campus protesting please do not say shit like “go back to poland” or “there is only one solution”. like please avoid explicit references to the holocaust, because that’s what those are.

i literally cannot believe im saying this. what fucking year is it

#op #its so fucking easy to protest for a good cause #and NOT make it about how much you hate jewish people #but apparently that’s an olympic fucking task for a lot of people!!! #anyway everyone stay safe and wear sunscreen and don’t talk to cops #shoah mention

#more and more convinced ppl who call themself hashtag desi are insane #all these people so concerned about women converting to islam are getting abused and exploited i dont see the same energy for #so many women getting raped in the very same places they're preaching from #like not ONE day goes without seeing the news of father kills daughter. a guy kills girlfriend because she rejected him #female wrestlers crying and protesting throwing their olympic medals in the river because the man who sexually assaulted them is lauded #literally all of that is from THIS WEEK ALONE #where's your energy for that #they'll watch one propaganda movie and make that their entire personality

The auditory version of the blank sheet is, of course, silence. Protesting wordlessly was a technique employed by Black Americans in July 1917, when an estimated 10,000 citizens, organized by religious groups and the NAACP, marched down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan to protest racial violence and discrimination. As the New York Times reported, “Those in the parade represented every negro organization and church in the city. They marched, however, not as organizations, but as a people of one race, united by ties of blood and color, and working for a common cause.”

In September 1968, tens of thousands of students staged a silent march calling for greater democracy in Mexico. Contradicting the Mexican government’s accusations that they were resorting to violence, the students protested by simply carrying flags. (Around this same time, civil rights activists in the United States wielded flags with similar goals in mind.) “You’re taking the symbols of the regime and exposing the illegitimacy of the regime at the same time,” says David Meyer, a sociologist at the University of California, Irvine.

Other protests have employed more obvious symbols of repression, including handcuffs, blindfolds and gags. The last of these became widespread as a political prop following the trial of the Chicago Seven (originally eight), antiwar protesters who were charged with inciting a riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. During the 1969 trial, the judge ordered defendant Bobby Seale to be gagged and chained to his chair.

Decades before football player Colin Kaepernick created a stir by kneeling during the national anthem, Black athletes silently used their status to fight oppression. At the awards ceremony for the 200-meter dash at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, medalists Tommie Smith and John Carlos each raised a clenched gloved fist in a call for global human rights.

The operating theory behind silent protests is that when the cause is clear and righteous, there’s no reason to yell about it—a principle demonstrated by more recent examples of silent protests, too. In 2009, a peaceful rally in Iran against unfair elections ended in gunfire and explosions. To vent their fury, hundreds of thousands of Iranians met at Tehran’s symbolic central roadway, Islamic Revolution Street, and marched quietly to Freedom Square, hoping to avoid a police crackdown. In 2011, protesters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, stood quietly in solidarity with activists detained without trial by the country’s regime. Multiple times in Hong Kong, lawyers have marched in silence to protest Beijing’s incursions into the city’s constitution and legal affairs.

yh i refuse to watch the new spiderverse because a. its an epilepsy shitshow that would kill my autistic ass and b. if i meet any of the posers that are buying spiderverse merch or like. shien "punk" shit just because they think the million-dollar company's 'punk spider' is cool or hot i am actually going to get charged with aggrevated assault again.

#FUCKING POOOOOOSERS #sorry my demons #nah i fucking despise the waves of fake fandom punks. it was the same with that eddie guy from st i met so many “punks” who would just #try to dress the part with corporate merch and then be pussies. none of you would go to a protest none of you could handle a bin fire and #half of you are either homophobic or do oppression olympics. appaling pieces of human trash kys now #sorry my demons /j

i watched netflix’s “you people” and i cant ignore the antisemitism

like the part where eddie murphy’s char is really dismissive of the HOLOCAUST threw me for a loop, he was basically like “you have generational wealth so jews aren’t oppressed.” that was very yikes to me. anyway other than that its just a  midtier movie netflix made to pad its catalog, not too noteworthy, but that scene was really bothersome

#the oppression olympics in that scene like #comparing slavery and the holocaust is just. why can we not just say that both were bad? #why must it be a contest #you people #netflix #eddie murphy's char was a huge asshole though. idk if we're meant to side with him but it felt like we were bc of how the movie positioned #the black chars as like. always being right on societal issues. but throwing in the holocaust thing was like. ???? why #i think we were supposed to side with him... #anyway just my take #as a white atheist born to protestants

in times of emotional turmoil i love reading cheap and bad romance books and my latest was particularly surprising

#haven't been so happy about a cheap romance novel ever since i read the one with the #incredibly insightful commentary on the protestant/catholic conflict #also riddle me this. I've listened to a fair amount of audiobooks now‚ #how come the narrators of gay romcoms with questionable covers always ALWAYS put their whole pussy into it? #you've got good narrators and then you've got trashy gay romance novels narrators who are on a league of their own #they're competing in the olympics while everyone else is still learning the name of the sport #burbles.txt

I have a lot of sympathy for the fans who went through the chaos of the CL final in Paris but also, on the other hand, I am cackling maniacally watching the violence and incompetency of the french police forces revealed to the world

#back in 2016 for the Euro it was already clear that football authorities and the police had no idea how to handle supporters #then came the big protests in France with always one strategy : random violence and intimidation #this chaos is years in the making and I doubt there's anyone in power actually competent to put another strategy in place #the Olympic games and the rugby world cup are coming up and France just doesn't seem capable of organizing them efficiently #it's tragic and it's just an aspect of the general sinking of french public services but boy is it fun to watch it exposed to the world

🇵🇸 From BDS:

More than 300 Palestinian sports teams are calling to ban Israel from the Olympics over its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. [...] In Gaza, Israel has killed Palestinian Olympic Football coach Hani Al Masdar, destroyed the Palestinian Olympic Committee offices, and turned sports facilities into shameful mass detention and torture centers. We can’t sit back as the IOC allows Israel to use the Olympics to sportswash its genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime against Palestinians everywhere. Support the call from Palestinian teams. Join the campaign to #BanIsrael from the Olympics and peacefully disrupt the road to the Paris 2024 games. 

Global days of action planned for March 15-17:

Ahead of the IOC executive board meeting in Lausanne Switzerland (March 19-21), take the call from Palestinian teams to your National Olympic Committee, International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports Federations. Organize protests, sit-ins, peaceful disruptions, or awareness raising events on Israeli attacks on Palestinian sports.

For more concrete information on how you can participate in the campaign, see the link above. You should also check in with your local BDS-affiliated organization(s) to see if they have anything planned for these dates (if they don't, consider bringing it up to them)

If you're not familiar with any BDS-affiliated organizations in your country (or state/city), then take a look at BDS's "Join a Campaign'"page.

There's also a petition you can sign.

#free palestine #palestine #gaza #israel #bds #boycott divest sanction #israeli apartheid month #iaw #the 'join a campaign page' seems to be down at the time up writing this but hopefully it should be up again soon

Me going on the Paris Olypics tags looking for the drama, knowing that a ton of shit has gone wrong and that a ton of the French people (a people historically famous for being very successful at beating their own leaders) are going to protest/boycott/and make the Olympics as hard as possible while the company in charge is fucking it up enough without help and a ton of the train stations are recently flooded.

Most of the posts are praising the Olympics either promoting famous people involved or cheering the Olympics in general (no hate to people supporting the athletes while I'm side-eyeing them due to so many people asking that they not compete due to everything happening in France, Gaza, & many other countries I do know that many athletes don't have a choice and many others had this once chance & don't want to throw away their whole lives that built up to this moment.

But damn, even us on tumblr are not immune to the propaganda, are we?

Maybe I'll have to go to reddit.

Either way, is there another tag the tea is on?

#paris olympics #anti paris olympics #boycott the paris olympics #protest the paris olympics #also the french are SO racist and its funny and by funny i mean scary
