I wish Israel commiting crimes against humanity wasn’t normalized. Fuck my country for supporting this bullshit, and fuck Zionism.

Israel is not a functional democracy, pretending as much is gross intellectual dishonesty.

I think she has to toe the line because she is still the acting VP. Going against the president in that position is not a good look. That said it makes knowing her actual position there really tough.

They have a high power one for those bastards.

Does anyone actually want to be in Ohio? If something is Ohio, it’s that vague uncomfortable ugly failure feeling.

He’s very Ohio. ( That insult makes me happy as I HATE that shit hole)

I feel that in my soul. I’m a sysadmin, however it’s mostly password resets 🥲

Royalroad has some hfy stuff. Read the end of First Contact on RR and Raltzs’ other stuff is there too.

Business insider being left biased is one hell of a take. They’re a corporate outlet for sure even if they don’t shill the GOP line.

You’re probably joking, but this is where I landed. We’re no where near ready to join a galactic community.

Oh yeah. We’re fucked. It’d be funny if it wasn’t also terrifying.

Ah ok trolling. Nevermind. Move along.

That’s interesting… Communism is by definition stateless and without significant hierarchy. I don’t think other Tankies would disagree with me there.

The ideological difference is in how we achieve communism. I would really suggest reading ‘What is to be Done’ by Lenin. It’s a real short read but was one of the things that sold me on Marxism-Leninism vs. regular “Communism is a neat idea”

Capitalism will sell you the “you’re your own boss, go forth an conquer” all while keeping you under their heel. There is no equality or opportunity there; but even worse is that they will worm their way into any system that does not harshly and consistently fight back against them. Ergo the need for a ‘communist’ (or rather pursuing communism) state.

That then leads into “Well how does the state go away once we’ve got communism?” That’s a whole 'nother can of worms…

Sanction, Denounce, it all boils down to “The ICC can fuck itself, we do what we want; and what we want is to support the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

If your argument boils down to near meaningless (there is a hassle for ICC members with the sanction) pedantry, then your argument sucks.

Ah the everlasting if you’re not with us you’re against us argument. Classy.

Maybe, just maybe, I don’t think we should be supporting genocide; even when it’s “our team” - since apparently that’s the only way y’all see it.

“heedless rush” oh fuck you press secretary. Nearing 50k dead more being starved daily, but somehow it’s heedless and unwarranted.

Fair but the detail is irrelevant in this particular case.

“We support international law…” “Except when we don’t.”

Why even pretend?

In the interest of learning, the ICC is not a state actor, so what exactly is the difference in this case?

You do realize Biden has announced his support for denouncing the ICC for this very action by the House right? He absolutely should be held to account for it.
