It’s currently just over halfway through the national jury votes (which are a panel of supposed music industry “experts” from each country), and they’ve almost all sent their votes to both of the non-binary freaks competing (Ireland and especially Switzerland), while giving barely a single vote to a song about drugs and disobeying the law/police (Estonia)…
This coming after the EBU literally kicked the Netherlands out of the contest at the last minute (for “making a threatening gesture at the camera”), Ireland refused to participate in rehearsals, and politics has absolutely dominated the whole affair, including a whole bunch of “jury representatives” boycotting because of Israel…
Even the supposedly “conservative” Eastern European countries are sending their votes to a man in a dress, singing about how he is “neither male nor female”…
Obviously I know approximately what I’m getting into, each year I watch this, but holy shit it is blatant, now…
If Switzerland wins, I might just give up on this absolute bullshit schlockfest, although personally I at least hope that the public vote has better taste than the supposed “experts”…
I recommend stop watching the propaganda, it really does not help to improve your mood.
The faggot from the UK got 0 public votes. I’m happy about that, at least, lol…
Again? That's happened before, although I have no idea when because I stopped bothering with this after Terry Wogan was fired from presenting and he's also been dead for 8 years now so a looong time now.
If that outweighs the misery created by the rest, then ok, haha
Ha, well, it was one of the few “moments of light” among an otherwise pretty damn awful voting section of the “show”…
But honestly, it’s Mother’s Day here, and I really do not enjoy this day (obligatory luncheon and all), so… At least Eurovision gives me a chance to “day drink”, lol…
Ah, hostage situation, well can't do much about that, will raise a glass in the night for you, cheers!
You'd think they would look at Sam Ryder and think 'we did well with him, what could we do in future to build on his success', but no, they've reverted back to type with diversity gesturing and moral grandstanding which the rest of Europe does not reward. Maybe if they focused more on talent, staging and producing music that isn't milquetoast, they'd have better results.
I guess the BBC didn't want the cost of staging the event again after 2023 with their financial troubles as of late.
At some point all media will be propaganda.
Well, yes Fifth generation warfare is the fad these days, and the cult cannot allow anything outside of it. The only interesting in future media is to see what kind of propaganda will prevail.
The winning move in a rigged game is to not play.
It doesnt have to be coordinated by external means. They all think alike. They all live in that maintained philosophical bubble of progressivism. And eastern Europe is playing the game because their leaders don't want american/west Europe elites to ostracize from all that sweet billions in globohomo money.
ESC has always been politically rigged. It's just become extremely obvious over the last two decades.
y u do dis
Holy shit, the freak won.
Despite the public largely voting for something different, enough of them went along with the Globohomo that, combined, it wasn’t possible to override the extremely biased jury vote.
I imagine we’ll get even more “non-binary” and “queer” bullshit, next year, after this result.
Puke.
I'd say cut the cord proverbially speaking, but...
Croatia (An objectively better act by far) will probably be treated as the winner by a lot of people in that case - hell, in a lot of comments for his video there's a lot of people saying things like "Who cares about the jury?". The exact same thing happened last year with Finland winning the public vote but Sweden had too much from the jury to be stopped.
I find it even odder that Israel came second in the televote despite the fact that there is a huge hate for the country. Is it another sign that people are brainwashed by globohomo or a massive protest vote against it?
There's rumors that the scoring system will be changed in the future to give televotes more power, at least.
More than likely. Countries do copy the style of the previous winner. And the EBU has now confirmed via unwritten rule that some political messages are permitted at the contest.
I think as a silver lining, there have been talks about giving the televote more power than the jury.
It's a captured institution with a very thinly veiled 'democratic legitimization'. The 2014 winner wasn't an accident either: 'Cochita Wurst'.
On Eastern Europe, they might be pulling what, was it Capcom did where to advertise their game in Japan they got cute anime Vtubers and in America they got drag queens.
You can't be mad if outsiders to the west advertise or enter the western media with degenerates if all they see promoted IS degeneracy..
Why?
When has it not been shit?
I always watched it because it was shit and the shit made me laugh so hard. It’s less shit now and a little bit more ominous.
There's your problem. The connected "expert" class(es) should all be understood to be Current Year adherents. The real experts are the ones that get labelled "controversial" or similar such things, and shunned from big culture contests, academia, etc.
I’m so fucking sick of their “flags”, and being lectured by these gender ideology freaks. Holy shit.
No wonder so many (mostly Eastern) countries pulled out of the contest this year. Perhaps the best way to get away from this seemingly all-encompassing ideology, at this point…
“Queers”, faggots and “girl power”. Yuck.
islam is right about fags
I also class the waving of the transgender, non-binary and the intersex inclusive progressive pride flags to be forms of political statements. But oddly enough, the EBU does not see it that way.
Why are you watching?
