A Belarusian sprinter, Kristina Szymonoskaya, was granted a Polish humanitarian
visa while
seeking political asylum after she refused to board a flight back to her home
country
from the Tokyo Games.
This is pretty wild, man.
Her home country wanted to pull her out of the Olympic Games, and so she asked
for help
on Instagram.
And here she is right here.
Here's her statement.
And she asked the International Olympic Committee to get involved and help her
out.
You know, her own country didn't like some of the ways she was representing
them, and they
said, this is a no-go.
We're going to pull you out of here.
And she didn't want that, so she asked for help.
While she was away from Belarus, she asked for help.
And so now Poland came along, Polish power, and they're letting her drop over
there into Warsaw.
And, you know, this is the type of thing.
This, to me, is an act of, like, speaking out against types of oppression.
You know, this, to me, is, you know, you have a, we've had a different American
Olympians, you know,
they have some new lady, the other day, she got, it looks like a piece of king
cake.
Her hair's kind of dyed up, and she, you know, just talking about oppression
from the medal
stand, and I don't even think she won first place either.
I think she was silver.
First of all, I think you should be, you should have to get first place to, to
talk about the
oppression.
And also, if you're in America, there's no, there's not oppression.
I don't feel like there's oppression.
You know, I've met people from every race and every gender.
And even animals, look at Air Bud.
Dude, in some countries, you know, no offense, you know, Riley Mao, but in some
countries, dude, that,
you know, you go to some of these more, like, kennel snacking continents, and
things would be different.
That thing's a movie star over here.
You know, so when a lot of these people are just talking about oppression, but
they're literally
standing in a place where they're able to say whatever they want, and can still
go back
to their own country, I think it's a perfect example of seeing her, this is a
real example
of what, like, oppression and control by our country really looks like.
What do you think, Riley, on any of this?
Have you seen any of this?
You don't know about it.
I haven't.
Okay.
But yeah, I think I'm just over the, you know, the look at me.
When you're living in an amazing life, it's really hard to say that the place
you're living
it in, the platform you're living it in, is oppressing you.
I mean, I think we all feel somewhat pressured and struggle through society,
but there needs
to be struggle for everyone.
There needs to be some pressure.
But yeah, this is something that is real.
When now you can't even go back home because you spoke freely.
I bet if that was the case for some of the American athletes, I bet that they
would have a different
A, understanding of oppression, and then B, a different tone, I think.
But what do I know?
You know what I'm saying?
I'm just one human who's ejaculated less than 11 hours ago and not really proud
of it, you
know?
Hope you enjoyed that video, and you can watch another, and you can watch this
one, you can
watch this one.
Different options, different choices.
Some guy just brings you one option, not this guy.
Two options.
Watch one.
This one or this one.
Thank you.
