The people complaining about the Paris 2024 opening ceremonies are probably big fans of the Germany 1936 opening ceremonies.
Paris 2024: occasionally cringy but well intentioned
Berlin 1936: just cringeDepending on how the election goes, this could very well be a precursor to the upcoming Los Angeles Olympics.
It was so bad that they had to cancel the next two Olympics.
If I remember correctly, this Olympics started the trend of elaborate opening ceremonies because Hitler wanted to create more fanfare.
Opening ceremonies are legit Nazi shit.
amazing how a society can zombify itself
but yeah it was pretty shitty. the American president snubbed Jesse Owens
that was just an ordinary type of salute in 1936. it wasn’t replaced in the American flag code until 1942
*guys stop getting butthurt over wikipedia articles
This was a very clear Olympic war full of square structures and no useful triangles that could generate peaceful harmonic energy. Try learning GNU Octave coding for more.

You have to scroll down through their post history for less than 10 seconds to see this guy complaining about being called a nazi.
I don’t know, I watched the Paris opening ceremony last night, and I doubt I’ll ever see another as bad as that with what remains of my life
As opposed to the other Germany?
When countries have had antecessor-states that have been drastically changed over historical events, normally through a change or system of governance, it’s common to refer to the type of system that was in place at the time you’re referring to.
For example, it’s common to refer to 1950s Spain as Fascist Spain (no more Spains on earth at that time), 1950s Russia as Soviet Russia (no more Russias at that time), 1890s Russia as Tsarist Russia (no more Russias at the time)… You get my point.
