Damn. Well as someone from the country of Europe I can say I have no desire to go to the States any time soon.
This is again so contradictory. North America hosts the FIFA world cup, a sport that originated in Europe and is still by far the most popular there. I assume the reason to organize this is money and to push that peace price propaganda bullshit (did anyone really fall for that?) and then you make it more difficult for Europeans to attend this event?
It just feels like they've completely lost it.
FIFA the organization has always been a bunch of shit. They're just more comfortable with fascistic models of "leadership," it's why they like Trump so much. He's getting away with all the stuff they would like to get away with, and they want to cozy up to his fetid little orbit. They don't give a fuck about the fans. If half the people have to miss the games because they don't want to get immigrationed, that's just the price they will have to pay for disobeying their masters. The FIFA leadership definitely won't be taking pay cuts if the ticket sales are down a little.
And yes don't come to the fucking United States right now. The goal of this on the Trump side, I think, is to drive away through harassment any individual who doesn't want to show obedience and subject themselves to humiliation. As always, act 3 will be when some other place in the world takes over as the popular place to be for people who have abilities and self respect, which hastens the US's collapse into a Soviet-style wreckage of infamy and ruin.
If we consider that it's all done on purpose to discredit and ruin the country, it makes a lot more sense.
