Olympicizing
Atrocious word, but can't think of a more fitting term for this atrocious modern trend.
Everything must be crammed into one place and one time, and must be run by an International Organization made up of alien power-drunk bureaucrats. Cities compete to be the next victim of the IOC. Cities spend huge amounts of tax money and lose an entire year of normal business, to gain the next Superbowl location, or the next Formula One car race, or the next Presidential visit....
Who benefits? Obviously the international aliens who run the monstrosities. Also the private security firms and corrupt government agencies that weld everything down, build Potemkin cities, and stop all normal activity for days or weeks or months around the event. Also the mediasatans who sell advertising time for trillions.
Who loses? Everyone else.
So why does everyone else keep doing it? I dunno.
Even the Hajj has become an Olympics, with predictably deadly results. It wasn't meant to be an annual event that every Muslim attends. It was meant to be an obligation that you accomplish once in your lifetime, at whatever time of year seemed appropriate.
