Cockeyed views

As we approach the end of yet another festival of obscene capitalism and corruption in the form of FIFA’s soccer world cup 2026, it is an opportune moment to address some of the inherent changes that are taking place in the politics of the game. This was the first time in the tournament’s long history that African and Asian teams were competitive, although systematically engineered out of the tournament. Fig. 1 - FIFA soccer world cup 2026 The Cricket experience FIFA and Soccer are experiencing the transition that the International Cricket Council (ICC, then known as the International Cricket Conference – originating as an exclusively white organisation) and cricket went through in the 1980s, where a sport that was completely dominated, funded and administered by White Europeans was confronting the challenge presented by coloured nations. In the case of cricket, the transition took over 20 years commencing with the long-awaited inclusion of Sri Lanka into the ...

If you asked a Westerner if they were indoctrinated the response is most likely going to be one of arrogant dismissal – it’s not the West but the rest that is indoctrinated. Sadly, the opposite reaction is likely if you asked the same question of the rest! They would think that their governments indulge in indoctrination unlike in the West. Both these responses are due to Western indoctrination at home and beyond. The favourite weapon of the political goons of the West and their puppeteers – the Oligarchs – has been indoctrination.

The reason this debate continues aimlessly is that, in reality, it is neither. In fact, all three of those terms misrepresent what it is – a Nulli-cultural settler colony. “If ever there was an antithesis of culture it would be the dominant western culture – Yankee Doodle culture.” Whenever the One Nation party and their figure head, Hanson, need some attention they bring out the racist bigotry to great effect in a non-society that has its ears wide open for any dog whistle that is racist towards non-white immigrants. So we’re back with the usual “mono-culture” and “Western values” nonsense that is an obsession of the, increasingly extreme, right-wing political class in Australia. If ever there was an antithesis to culture it would be the dominant western culture – Yankee Doodle cul...
