Hey #NAFO meet Pierre de Coubertin, heralded as the “founder of the modern Olympics” (I will be calling it the #Orclympics for the rest of this 🧵). Why am I writing about this dude? Because he demonstrates IOC fascism, which continues to this day. (1/14) As you can see, IOC accounts worship this guy. So why is this a problem? (2/14)

We all know that the #Orclympics supports ruzzian terrorism, but the IOC is also committing economic- and ecoterrorism. Today I’ll talk about how the Olympics are an economic disaster for host cities- in a later thread I’ll discuss the environmental impact. Let’s go! 🧵 (1/12) From 1976-2012, the cost overrun for hosting the summer Olympics averaged a whopping 252%. The overrun costs are swallowed by local taxpayers. It took the city of Montreal 30 years to pay of the C$1.6 billion in debt incurred from hosting the 1976 Games (2/12)

Hi #NAFOfellas, meet Kamila Valieva! She’s competed in the 2022 Winter #Orclympics in Beijing (1/13) After the figure skating team event, Valieva tested positive for trimetazidine, a heart medication banned by @wada_ama due to its performance-enhancing effects. She was 15 at the time. (2/13)
