Wow, an #athlete from #belarus competing in #japan 's #tokyo #olympics has been granted #asylum in #poland after a *minor* #criticism of the #belarussian #government https://www.lotuseaters.com/belarussian-.. Just a little reminder that things over here in the #west are not so bad in the grand scheme of things... We have quite minor issues in comparison.
If you want direct evidence of growing #nationalism in #china under the #ccp - then look no further than #japan 's #tokyo #olympics https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-chin.. Anything less than #gold is seen as #failure - something that eventually occurs under #communism as any #ideology so strictly abided to eventually welcomes the #religious - who begin self governing and purity testing. *Watch this space: These are dangerous markers.* Consider yourself warned.
