Why NBA “Wokeness” is a Hypocrisy Many Can’t Stomach

Americans Are Losing Sight of What Fascism Means
LINK
The NBA cannot possibly lecture Americans on inequality while turning a blind eye to these abuses in a place where it’s bowing down in the name of a yuan.
quote:
Many Americans who brand Trump and his allies as fascists are paying too little attention to abuses in Hong Kong and cultural genocide in Xinjiang.
quote:
The Chinese regime’s totalitarianism is still more evident in Xinjiang, where the sterilization of Uighur women is systematic, with the intent to decrease the Muslim population. Chinese companies have made beauty products for export with what appears to be the human hair of Uighurs in internment camps. Chinese authorities have organized the “Pair Up and Become Family” campaign, in which more than 1 million party cadres have been dispatched to live in Uighur households, monitoring families’ every move, with new male “relatives” sleeping with Uighur women and forcing marriage, while many of their actual male relatives are detained in the camps. There is another name for this, and it’s rape.
quote:
What the Chinese Communist Party is doing is not unspeakable. It can and should be spoken about, however difficult that may be. Moral clarity requires us to seek both accuracy and proportion. Anything less does a disservice to those who have actually struggled, fought, and died against fascism. If Americans, even for just a moment, could look beyond Trump, they might realize that another world—one where fascism is a living, breathing thing—awaits them.

I think It’s beyond turning a blind eye, we almost all care more about our own circumstances than those in another country.
The issue is that they’re beating the drum for BLM as an organization while bending over backwards for China’s money. It’s not just turning a blind eye, the re censoring their coaches/gms etc... so they don’t pass off China.

Guys making tens of millions of dollars that are given extreme social privileges and face absolutely zero problems unless they go back to their gangbanging ways complaining about being slaves is the real fun part of the NBA.
I can't watch it because I cant stop laughing that people like Kyrie Irving are making more than minimum wage on a pity job yet he has it so tough in life.

The NBA and the board soyboys love licking some BLM & China arse.

Most of my friends who complain about the NBA China connection have homes full of Chinese goods. Until they make at least a good faith effort to avoid these I see them bowing down to the yuan as well and will simply roll my eyes at their complaints.

Look , this is the More Sports Board. These are mostly people who can't even find China on a map, think a Communist is something that just annoys old white guys so therefore it's good, never heard of a "Uighur" before today and could care less if they are in reeducation camps and just want to watch Bouncy ball shooty-hoops and spout platitudes like "end systemic racism" and "black lives matter". Any suggestion that the NBA is selling out American values to China for money doesn't interest them. They are hoopy-hoop couch-sitters first, Americans somewhere way after that.

I see you still bothered.

Not sure why NBA players are getting so much heat compared to Nike and other shoe companies who are using Uighur slave labor in their factories to manufacture their products.

Leave it to one of the last great, honest progressives (Glenn Greenwald) to explain it:
quote:
If Biden wins, that's going to be the power structure: a Democratic Party fully united with neocons, Bush/Cheney operatives, CIA/FBI/NSA, Wall St & Silicon Valley: presenting itself as the only protection against fascism. And much of the left will continue marching behind it.

Leftists too busy playing on their slave labor created iPhones tweeting to cancel Chris Pratt for not going to Democrat fundraisers and being religious. This won’t even show up on their feeds bc its listed as banned content on social media. They can’t see it or they want their little gadgets more than they actually care about people’s lives. It’s a lot easier to virtue signal and try to force changes that don’t effect them

Sounds like these black basketball players are getting too uppity for you guys.
That's the way all this reads.

That’s because you have a political party propagandizing it to a bunch of Dim Americans that have no idea what it is and eat it up with the quickness. Many of them are on this board, Latecuyler, lsutigers1992, whatidontknow, etc are a few of them. Lot of youngsters on this board that don’t have a clue.

We've reached the point where saying "There are 2 genders" means you are a Nazi
The woke Twitter mob is absolutely insane.
The NBA and other organizations are going to find out that pandering to a vocal minority of lunatics will not work out.
