Your problem (and that is also the problem of most apolitical people) is that you don't understand that the social is political.

I'm not saying that the act of doing sport is political, I'm saying that the way Sport as a discipline is structured is conditionned by our political and sociological context. In our current world, sport is conditionned by liberalism, capitalism and therefore Meritocracy. We need to understand that in order to understand how this social structure works and potentially create a social structure that is more equal and fairer.

That way, we could make sport more accessible, more enjoyable and more beneficial for all.


Never stop looking at society through a sociological and political lens mate. Its important.
You sound insufferable.
 
most people don't want to be constantly reminded of politics. You sound condescending when you frame it as "dont want to question their own worldvision"
1. What is social is politic. Which means that no matter what social process you engage into, you will engage in a process in which the political context is important to understand and to discuss if necessary for the good of the process. The demand not to be reminded of politics is the demand of an ermit who lives alone in a cave. Its not a demand that a social person can make in our society. We NEED to talk about the political in every aspect of society, its not only a duty to allow us to live together nicely, its also something that is inevitable unless you live in under fascism.

This is also the demand of someone who don't understand what politic is. You are CONSTANTLY reminded of politics without even noticing it. One Piece is a prime example of that.

2. You are in a political thread. Therefore demanding not to be reminded of politic here is literally a nonsense.

---

Conclusion: Demanding not to be reminded of politic is refusing to have their own worldvision be questionned and as I explained, this is not possible in a social world.

obviously i am not talking about myself, I was literally pointing out how you view everything though a political lens and how it rots your brain. irl people would find you insufferable if you bring that exact mindset to the real world

I just ignore people who talk about politics irl because most people don't know a thing of what they're talking about
 
You just said sports are fascism. :lawsigh:
"the starting point of fascism"*
This is a troll sentence that will make leftist laugh. I actually admires sportive people. I wish I had that kind of mental strenght.

But we have to understand what sport is currently as a social structure and that is this:

Sports are one of the starting point of what constitute fascism. But I'm being cheaky and trolly here, a lots of things constitute fascism so sport alone is not enough. But on the other hand, what sport is, is the right hand man of capitalism.
Sport as a social structure is literally one of the surviving tools of capitalism to maintain its own existence.

Are you talking about competitive/professional sport?
I'm talking about sport as a social structure, so it also includes competitive/professional sport.

Since you are trying to attack me, let's talk a bit about who I am ... again (yeah, I love that).

I've never felt so free and liberated since the moment I started to see the world through a political lens. What you see as something obnoxious (because I believe you don't really care to take a look at it seriously) is actually a tool that allows me to understand reality better. Its like having to read constantly a book in a foreign language and suddenly get the translation for everything.

You might think "but you can't know that you are right". Technically yes. But that interpretation of reality is not only confirmed by what I know and what I see or feel, its also confirmed by science which is the best method to understand reality.

Seeing reality through the prism of materialism is the best way to understand it. And through materialism comes the political and the sociological lens. Therefore my vision right now is clearer than it has EVER been. And I went through pretty much the entire political spectrum, so I know what I'm talking about here.

Now, if you think that it makes me an obnoxious person IRL, you can't be more wrong. I've never been so positive with people around me and my relationships have never been so engaging, understanding and positive DESPITE having never been so low in term of physical and mental shape.

When I was a conspi and a ultraliberal, I wanted to impose my vision on people so much that it was indeed obnoxious. I had no idea how to talk to people without being positive, I had no ideas what was toxic in my language, I had no idea that my relationship with women could actually be problematic since I was a bit of a mascu.. I had good relationships, but every now and then, a sexist remark was popping in, a toxic behavior was interrupting the conversations, a lack of empathy prevented me from understanding my partners or my family... Etc.

Now, its completely different:

- I do not remind people of their physical or mental shape
- I do not impose my judgment on others IRL and I listen to understand what I can and what I can't do
- I seek the positive in relationship instead of what I want
- If there is something to change in people I do not push, I explain to them how their behavior can impact me or others
- Instead of pushing a political agenda, I explain to people why some values are toxic and how they impact my own life
- I'm much more empathic than I was, I listen to their passion, their needs, their struggle as it helps me put everything in a sociological context

In other words, I've never felt so positive and people around me have never been so happy to interact with me !

Here, I'm using another approach. I'm not here to get positive relationships, I'm here to make a change. However small it can be. So I'm using a more offensive tactic and yes, when people are wrong, I say "you are wrong" and when people are far rightist or transphobic, I say "you are far rightist" or "you are transphobic". I'm in an politically hostile territory, so I don't have time to be the kind brother since you guys don't take the time to be understanding with eachothers as well. So I'm always on the offense as long as you stay in offense too.

But the moment you will start to be understanding of my point of view, I will start to be more understanding about you as well. I actually understand what leads people toward far rightism, conservatism, complotism, apolitism or liberalism.. I went through that, so I know that for you guys being a leftist can be scary, but I also know that a part of you is fascinated as well. And I'm trying to talk to this specific part of you as this is the part that made me change.

If you lower you defense and let me in, I will stop the offense and show you my world.

This is what I did with the LEFTIST LIBRARY ! Instead of being in the offense, I tried something different for once and I just completely opened my world to all of you. Everything I know in term of political knowledge is pretty much there. Its only the surface, but its what is needed to understand why I think the way I think. And I created it in a way to make you understand step by step.

I assure you with a 80% certainty that if you are willing to listen to the first video and first study with an open mind and go on from there to the second, the third and so on, that you will become a leftist at the end of the road just like I became one with time.

I'm forcing noone to interact with me. You can ignore me if you want. But don't expect people to believe than I'm the one who is obnoxious, if what you have to say about me, is that my vision is rotting my brain. :)

Take a look at the library. Watch the most important videos (in yellow) and we will talk.
 
How can competitive sports be more accessible though? Its competitive sports because its limited to a handful of professionals competing at a high level
Perhaps we need to think outside the box for that.

For example we know that income plays a role in sport education and sport accessibility.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/24/health/sports-physical-education-children.html

We could for example try to create equity by allowing people with low income to have a better access to sport. This would in return diversify the competitive game and you might start to see a whole new bunch of profil appear. That way, you don't touch the social activity in itself but you touch the system the activity is a part of in order to improve the quality of said activity.

In the same vain, there is a lot work to do in term of inclusion and fight against ableism.


You already said multiple times your desire to censor the ones who disagree with you and your many report to people on this forum supports that.
Hm ? No. I've never said that. Its you guys who invented that lie to attack me

Rethink :willight:

When I report, its usually because there was something very problematic said. For example, denying a genocide, someone being transphobic, someone insulting someone else.. things that can actually put you in front of justice where I live. Also when I report, I don't want you banned, I just want your post to be modified to be civil, that's all. In fact I've not reported in a long time, I see that mods don't really care about those specific problematic behaviors.

Aside from being intolerant, denying the murder of thousands of people or going into fascist territory, you can say all the far right sh*t you want mate.

i agree about the low income shit, the rest i dont even remotely see as realistic. especially the ableism point, because people with disabilities for the most part just cant compete at these high competitive levels.

The point is not to make people with disability compete with people without them, the point is to make the competitive scene more accessible for all people. Because income is not the only thing that create inequalities in term of access to sport.
