So is there a single peep from western media about how Ukraine winning Eurovision for political reasons is a huge slap in the face for all the musicians that took part in what was supposed to be a music competition?
Have there been any complaints from the other teams? I’d be pissed off if I had spent a ton of effort making a performance only to have Ukraine win because of something unrelated to what the competition is about.
Imagine if in the Olympics they had given all the gold medals to Palestine because they’re at war with Israel, for example. It would conflict with the whole point of the games.
Edit: Stop upvoting this cringe this is literally the worst post I’ve made
So then why have people perform at all? Why even pretend it’s a music competition?
fun fact, the last time ukraine won eurovision was in 2016, just after russia pulled into the crimea, with a song called “1944” which was about the tragedy of stalin fucking up some ukrainians for collaborating with the nazis :stalin-gun-1: :stalin-gun-2:
stalin fucking up some ukrainians for collaborating with the nazis
Katyn?
Nah those were Poles, probably the eradication of the OUN/UPA in 1945/6 is what they are talking about. Ukrainian nationalists and fascists who worked with the Nazis against the USSR. Stalin took care of them by 1946.
Interestingly, the Ukrainan government gave all these fascists veteran status on 2019
Imagine if in the Olympics they had given all the gold medals to Palestine because they’re at war with Israel, for example.
:I-was-saying:
why does Israel get to compete?
