‘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.

@AnnaAnthro Trump wants it all-white anyway.

You got to communicate where your target audience is most likely going to be listening.

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

@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.

@christianrickert @TCatInReality @AnnaAnthro
Every post anyone makes on musk's platform is ingested into the training set and your preferences and creativity are either stolen outright or deployed against you for ads and provided content. It's adversarial to privacy, science and redesigned to support elan's insane agenda.
Don't feed it.

I'm waiting for countries to point out that without strong protections in place for their players that it's not safe for teams from African countries or countries in central and south America to travel to the US at all.
