If you want the US to act in line with the Paris agreement, if you want a humane healthcare system, if you want effective action against police violence, if you want the US to stop supporting a possible genocide, it doesn’t matter what you vote next election.

This is just a fact, you can do with this fact whatever you want, vote for the least bad option or stay home, but that doesn’t change this truth.

If the only alternative to the failing status quo is the far right then we are doomed. Keir Starmer is not a beacon of hope, he is a pause button on worse to come.

Both can be (and are) true, while the Europeans and later Americans did many things that would now be classified as genocide and ethnic cleansing, the majority of the native population simply died inadvertently of diseases. It’s actually unlikely that the Europeans would have been able to so thoroughly conquer the Americas if the native population would have survived the first wave of diseases.

They could just sit this one out…

Or say that they have full trust in the judgment of the ICJ and will support the ruling whatever it may be.

Imagine a few days later everyone he got into contact with getting horribly sick and dying.

That is what he says, it’s time to look into the intentions. And saying that it is just far right fringe figures that are making genocidal statements is a nice way to play with the facts, because the far right is currently in power in Israel. The SA case at the ICJ contains a long segment of quotes from Israeli officials and ministers making genocidal statements on the record.

To add to this, western governments are fully aware that Israel is breaking international law (and proud of it), because they refuse to answer any questions on this topic. For example David Cameron called on Israel to allow for fresh water to enter Gaza, implying that Israel is currently blocking this. Blocking access to drinking water is in violation of international law, when pressed on this Cameron said he was quote “not a lawyer”, and said he could not remember if he has been shown any evidence of violations of international law by Israel (as if that is something you would forget).

The west is showing that a rules based international order only applies for the global south, many people in the west might be too stupid or ignorant to see this but outside of the west this is doing irreparable damage to the credibility of the west.

Bernies healthcare plans were crazy unrealistic, and based on rogue states such as France, The UK, or Denmark. Luckily we dodged that bullet and got a sensible moderate who *checks notes* supports ethnic cleansing.

Yeah not gonna be surprised when Trump wins this one, I see no positive case for Biden being put out there.

I started a discussion on the conclusion of the Mueller Report but my comment got deleted for spreading misinformation.

It’s indeed just one example of many, for something more recently you can look at the murder of Nahel Merzouk in 2023. But the horror of the police just murdering more than 300 peaceful protesters and it still being so controversial that the only memorial on the bridge is the occasional graffiti, is on another level.

To add to the sheer number of deaths, the way the police prepared, the specific method of torture and murder (throwing people of a bridge after breaking their arms and legs (this includes children) hence the quote “Algerians are drowned here”), and the thorough cover up after, defy imagination.

This crime and its cover up has still not been dealt with in France even if it was 50 years ago.

French cops are perfectly normal, just don’t google “ici on noie les Algériens” and why it keeps being graffitied on a specific bridge in Paris.
