‘Cancel your tickets’: Calls grow to boycott US-hosted #FIFA World Cup over #Trump admin
“Would you have gone to watch the Olympics in Nazi Germany in 1936?” asked Pekka Kallioniemi, a Finnish social media analyst with a focus on propaganda and disinformation, in a social media post on X.
“If the answer is no, it’s time to cancel your US World Cup tickets.”
@AnnaAnthro Knew a German-American, born in 1914, who attended the ‘36 games. He was bicycling around the Baltic Sea that Summer. He pretended not to speak German, Hermann Nunnemacher of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He stole Hitler’s flag from a Bismarck monument in Poland and brought it home as a souvenir.

Of course, people against authoritarianism should #BoycottTheWorldCup
But there's something off about an expert in disinformation posting in Twitter.
Surely the time has come where w eshould just boycott the US, rather than an individual event?

DON'T SUPPORT FASCISTS.
The USA is not a great place to visit or be right now. -

@AnnaAnthro I'd like to point out that there are games played in Mexico and Canada as well. Please feel free to visit them. But those played in the USA should be avoided for your safety.

@TCatInReality @AnnaAnthro To use the 1936 Olympics as an analogy on a platform owned by the guy who does the nazi salute...I have no words to describe how ridiculous that is.

I'm thinking about buying a ticket... just so I can cancel it again!

Completely agree.
People should avoid America, if at all possible, while these autocrats are in charge.

Nailed it!

An expert in disinformation should be leading their audience to safer spaces. That should have started with Musk's acquisition in 2022.
There is zero excuse for anyone to still be on Twitter. It only gives content and legitimacy to a wildly discredited and dangerous platform (and oligarch)

@AnnaAnthro Move all international sport out of the US. It is unsafe and lawless

1936 all over again indeed… fuck these fascists!

@Cyclist @TCatInReality @AnnaAnthro I already do in all possible ways.

@TCatInReality @Cyclist @AnnaAnthro Yeah, like, as a US citizen, you should absolutely not come here. Political pressure aside, it just isn't safe.

@AnnaAnthro BABA ( BUY ANYTHING BUT AMERICAN). THE WORLD CUP SHOULD BE CANCELLED
-
@mycotropic @AnnaAnthro And that will happen. Trump wants to pull matches from blue cities like Seattle,LA and Chicago and move them to Nashville and Orlando. All-white crowds. And darker skinned players forced to stay at motels and homes in the Black part of town. All-white teams. Just like the 1950's when the Negro Leagues,the United Golf Association and the Negro/Colored Tennis Tour still existed.

@AnnaAnthro And next season all NFL International games should be boycotted too. I say this as a British NFL fan. There's plenty CFL
and ELF
to entertain until good sense prevails. There's so much to love about the US, but as it stands I will not send a penny thier way, it's the only 'power' I have.
